Wakolosayi 3
1 Vinu handa mzyuka pamuhera na Kristu, muliholi ga kumpindi, kulii Kristu kwakawera, aku kankulivaga pahala pa wega wa uwezu wa Mlungu.
If yee then bee risen with Christ, seeke those thinges which are aboue, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.
2 Muliholeli vitwatira vya kumpindi, na vitwatira ndiri vyaviweri panu pasipanu.
Set your affections on things which are aboue, and not on things which are on the earth.
3 Toziya mwenga muhowa na ukomu wenu ufifwa pamuhera na Kristu mngati mwa Mlungu.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 Ukomu wenu ndo Kristu, na pakalawira, na mwenga viraa hamlawili pamuhera nayomberi muukwisa wakuwi.
When Christ which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with him in glory.
5 Hangu mshilagi kila shintu shikondola shashiwera mngati mwenu, uhumba na uhakata na lumatamata ludoda na shamata na maholu madoda aga galifana na kuguwira shinyagu.
Mortifie therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, vncleannes, the inordinate affection, euill concupiscence, and couetousnes which is idolatrie.
6 Toziya ya vitwatira avi maya ga Mlungu gawizira woseri yawamjimira ndiri.
For the which things sake ye wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience.
7 Makashu maweni mwenga mlikaliti hangu, patukolitwi mlima na yomberi.
Wherein ye also walked once, when ye liued in them.
8 Kumbiti vinu mgaleki goseri aga, maya na shamata, na ukondola, kuhigilanga, na visoweru vidoda navilawa mumilomu mwenu.
But now put ye away euen all these things, wrath, anger, maliciousnes, cursed speaking, filthie speaking, out of your mouth.
9 Namlipayira, toziya mwenga mvula kala uwuntu ugona, pamuhera na makondola gakuwi goseri,
Lie not one to another, seeing that yee haue put off the olde man with his workes,
10 mvala uwuntu wa syayi. Uwuntu awu wendereya kutendwa hweri na Mlungu, yakauwumbiti su tulifani nayomberi.
And haue put on the newe, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him,
11 Muntambu ayi, kwahera ntambu ya gweka kwa Mgiriki na Muyawudi, yakingiziwitwi jandu na yakingiziwitwi ndiri jandu, muhenga na mweni kaya, mmanda na muntu mlekeru. Kumbiti Kristu ndo kila shintu, na kamuvyoseri.
Where is neither Grecian nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: But Christ is all, and in all things.
12 Mwenga mwawantu wakuwi Mlungu, yomberi kawafiriti na kawasyagula, vinu muweri na moyu gwa lusungu na uheri na unanaga, na upoli na uhepelera.
Now therfore as the elect of God holy and beloued, put on the bowels of mercies, kindnesse, humblenesse of minde, meekenesse, long suffering:
13 Mhepelerani na kulekiziyana vidoda, handa muntu kana toziya ya kumlawumu myaguwi. Mlekiziyani vidoda handa Mtuwa ntambu yakawalekiziyani mwenga.
Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarel to another: euen as Christ forgaue, euen so doe ye.
14 Kwa goseri aga ganongoleriti kulonga, muwongeri mafiliru, toziya mafiliru ganamataziya vintu vyoseri muwumu wawuwera mkamilika.
And aboue all these thinges put on loue, which is the bond of perfectnes.
15 Na ponga ya Kristu iyingira mumioyu mwenu, toziya ya aga mwenga mshemitwi munshimba yimu ayi. Kayi mlongi mayagashii!
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are called in one body, and be ye thankfull.
16 Ujumbi wa Kristu ulikali mngati mwenu. Pamuhera na ulunda wakuwi woseri. Mulifundi na kalitakuziana kwa luhala loseri, mwimbi zaburi, na nyimbu za shirohu, mumwimbili Mlungu mumioyu kwa kulonga mayagashii.
Let the worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdome, teaching and admonishing your owne selues, in Psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songs, singing with a grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 Na shoseri shamtenda ama shamtakula, mshitendi kwa litawu lya Mtuwa Yesu na kulonga mayagashii Mlungu Tati kupitira yomberi.
And whatsoeuer ye shall doe, in worde or deede, doe all in the Name of the Lord Iesus, giuing thankes to God euen the Father by him.
18 Mwenga wadala, muwapikaniri wapalu wenu, ntambu yaimuherepeziya Mtuwa.
Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as it is comely in the Lord.
19 Namwenga wapalu muwafiri wadala wenu, namuwera wakalipa kwa womberi.
Husbands, loue your wiues, and be not bitter vnto them.
20 Namwenga mwananguta, muwapikaniri walera wenu mugoseri, toziya shitwatira ashi shimfirizia Mtuwa.
Children, obey your parents in all thing for that is well pleasing vnto the Lord.
21 Namwenga ashina tati namwasoziya wananguta wenu, nawiza kuwuya kumbeli.
Fathers, prouoke not your children to anger, least they be discouraged.
22 Namwenga wamanda muwapikaniri muvyoseri walii watuwa wa pasipanu pawawaloreni ndiri gweka yakuwi toziya mfira kuwoneka waherepa, kumbiti mtendi hangu kwa moyu guherepa, toziya ya kumguwira Mtuwa.
Seruants, be obedient vnto them that are your masters according to the flesh, in all things, not with eye seruice as men pleasers, but in singlenes of heart, fearing God.
23 Shoseri shamtenda, mtendi kwa moyu goseri, toziya mumtendera Mtuwa, mumtendera ndiri muntu.
And whatsoeuer ye doe, doe it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men,
24 Muliholi Mtuwa hakawapanani lifupu lwa uhala lyakawatuliliti wantu wakuwi. Mumtenderi Kristu Mtuwa!
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receiue the reward of the inheritance: for ye serue the Lord Christ.
25 Toziya kila muntu yakatenda vidoda hakanki shibena mgongu sha ukondola wakuwi wala kwahera kubagula.
But he that doeth wrong, shall receiue for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
