1 Ngakho uba livuswe loKristu, dingani okwaphezulu, lapho akhona uKristu ehlezi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.
Sezvo, zvino, makamutswa pamwe chete naKristu, isai mwoyo yenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, uko kugere Kristu kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari.
2 Nakanani ngezinto eziphezulu, kungeyisikho ngezinto ezisemhlabeni.
Isai pfungwa dzenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, kwete pazvinhu zvenyika.
3 Ngoba lifile, lempilo yenu ifihlwe loKristu kuNkulunkulu.
Nokuti makafa, uye upenyu hwenyu hwakavigwa zvino naKristu muna Mwari.
4 Nxa ebonakaliswa uKristu, oyimpilo yethu, ngalesosikhathi lani lizabonakaliswa laye enkazimulweni.
Panoonekwa Kristu, iye upenyu hwenyu, ipapo nemiwo muchaonekwa pamwe chete naye mukubwinya.
5 Ngakho bulalani amalunga enu asemhlabeni, ukuphinga, ukungcola, inkanuko embi, ukufisa okubi, lomhawu, oyikukhonza izithombe,
Naizvozvo, urayai zvose zvenyu zvenyika zvinoti: upombwe, netsvina, nokusachena, nokuchiva, nokuda zvakaipa uye kukara, ndiko kunamata zvifananidzo.
6 okwehla ngalezizinto ulaka lukaNkulunkulu phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli;
Nokuda kwaizvozvi, kutsamwa kwaMwari kuri kuuya.
7 elake lahamba kuzo lani, lapho lalihlezi phakathi kwazo.
Imi maimbofamba mazviri, muupenyu hwamaimborarama.
8 Kodwa khathesi lani khuphani konke lokhu, ulaka, ukuthukuthela, inzondo, inhlamba, ukukhuluma amanyala emlonyeni wenu;
Asi zvino munofanira kuzvidzora pane zvose zvakadai sezvizvi zvinoti: kutsamwa, hasha, ruvengo, makuhwa, nokutaura zvakaora zvichibva pamiromo yenyu.
9 lingaqambelani amanga, lokhu selimhlubule umuntu omdala lezenzo zakhe,
Musareverana nhema, sezvo makabvisa munhu wenyu wekare namabasa ake
10 selembethe omutsha, owenziwa kutsha elwazini njengomfanekiso walowo owamdalayo;
mukafuka munhu mutsva, ari kuvandudzwa mukuziva, mumufananidzo woMusiki wake.
11 okungekho umGriki lomJuda, ukusoka lokungasoki, owezizweni, umSikethiya, isigqili, okhululekileyo; kodwa uKristu uyikho konke lakukho konke.
Apa hapachina muGiriki kana muJudha, kudzingiswa kana kusadzingiswa, mutorwa kana muSitia, nhapwa kana akasununguka, asi Kristu ndiye zvose, uye ari mune zvose.
12 Ngakho yembathani, njengabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu, abangcwele labathandekayo, imihelo yesihawu, ububele, ukuzithoba, ubumnene, ukubekezela;
Naizvozvo savasanangurwa vaMwari, vatsvene uye vanodikanwa kwazvo, zvifukidzei netsitsi, nounyoro, nokuzvininipisa, nokupfava uye nomwoyo murefu.
13 libekezelelane, lithethelelane uba umuntu elensolo komunye; njengoba loKristu walithethelela, ngokunjalo lani;
Munzwirane tsitsi uye mukanganwirane pamhosva ipi zvayo yamunenge matadzirana. Mukanganwire sezvamakakanganwirwa naShe.
14 phezu kwakho konke-ke yembathani uthando, oluyisibopho sokuphelela.
Uye pazvinhu zvose izvi fukai rudo, runokusunganidzai pamwe chete muhumwe hwakakwana.
15 Lokuthula kukaNkulunkulu kakubuse enhliziyweni zenu, elibizelwa kukho lani emzimbeni munye; futhi banini ngababongayo.
Rugare rwaKristu ngarutonge mumwoyo yenyu, sezvo senhengo dzomuviri mumwe makadanirwa kurugare. Uye munofanira kuvonga.
16 Ilizwi likaKristu kalihlale phakathi kwenu ngokwenotho enhlakanipheni yonke; lifundisane lilayane, ngezihlabelelo, lamahubo odumo, lengoma zomoya, lihlabelela lilomusa enhliziyweni zenu eNkosini.
Shoko raKristu ngarigare zvakakwana mamuri pamunenge muchidzidzisana muchirayirana nouchenjeri hwose, uye muchiimba mapisarema, dzimbo nenziyo dzomweya muchivonga Mwari mumwoyo yenyu.
17 Njalo konke loba yini eliyenzayo, elizwini loba esenzweni, konke kwenzeni ebizweni leNkosi uJesu, libonge uNkulunkulu loBaba ngaye.
Uye zvose zvamunoita, mushoko kana mumabasa, itai zvose muzita raIshe Jesu, muchivonga Mwari ivo Baba kubudikidza naye.
18 Bafazi, zehliseleni ngaphansi kwawenu amadoda, njengokufanele eNkosini.
Vakadzi, zviisei pasi pavarume venyu, sezvazvakafanira muna She.
19 Madoda, thandani omkenu, lingabi lokubaba kubo.
Varume, idai vakadzi venyu musingavabati nehasha.
20 Bantwana, lalelani abazali ezintweni zonke; ngoba lokhu kuyayithokozisa iNkosi.
Vana, teererai vabereki venyu pazvinhu zvose, nokuti izvi zvinofadza Ishe.
21 Bobaba, lingabathukuthelisi abantwana benu, ukuze bangadani.
Madzibaba, musanetsa vana venyu, nokuti vanozoora mwoyo.
22 Zisebenzi, lalelani ezintweni zonke labo abangamakhosi njengokwenyama, kungeyisikho ngenkonzo yamehlo njengabathokozisa abantu, kodwa ngobuqotho benhliziyo, lisesaba uNkulunkulu;
Varanda, teererai vatenzi venyu vapanyika muzvinhu zvose; uye muzviite, kwete kuti vakuonei chete uye kuti mudikanwe navo, asi nokutendeka kwomwoyo uye nokutya Ishe.
23 njalo yonke loba yini eliyenzayo, yenzeni ngenhliziyo, njengeNkosini, njalo kungeyisikho ebantwini;
Zvose zvamunoita, itai zvose nomwoyo wose, savanhu vanoshandira Ishe, kwete munhu,
24 lisazi ukuthi eNkosini lizakwemukela umvuzo welifa; ngoba likhonza iNkosi uKristu.
sezvo muchiziva kuti muchagamuchira nhaka kubva kuna She somubayiro. NdiIshe Kristu wamunoshumira.
25 Kodwa owenza okubi uzazemukelela okubi akwenzileyo; njalo kakukho ukubandlulula umuntu.
Ani naani anoita zvakaipa achatsiviwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake, uye hapana kutsaura vanhu.
