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, then, you were raised with the Christ, seek the things above, where the Christ is, seated on the right hand of God;
2 Muliholeli vitwatira vya kumpindi, na vitwatira ndiri vyaviweri panu pasipanu.
mind the things above, not the things on the earth,
3 Toziya mwenga muhowa na ukomu wenu ufifwa pamuhera na Kristu mngati mwa Mlungu.
for you died, and your life has been hid with the Christ in God;
4 Ukomu wenu ndo Kristu, na pakalawira, na mwenga viraa hamlawili pamuhera nayomberi muukwisa wakuwi.
when the Christ—our life—may have appeared, then we will also appear 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.
Put to death, then, your members that [are] on the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry—
6 Toziya ya vitwatira avi maya ga Mlungu gawizira woseri yawamjimira ndiri.
because of which things comes the anger of God on the sons of the disobedience,
7 Makashu maweni mwenga mlikaliti hangu, patukolitwi mlima na yomberi.
in which you also—you once walked, when you lived in them;
8 Kumbiti vinu mgaleki goseri aga, maya na shamata, na ukondola, kuhigilanga, na visoweru vidoda navilawa mumilomu mwenu.
but now put off, even you, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, slander, filthy talking—out of your mouth.
9 Namlipayira, toziya mwenga mvula kala uwuntu ugona, pamuhera na makondola gakuwi goseri,
Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices,
10 mvala uwuntu wa syayi. Uwuntu awu wendereya kutendwa hweri na Mlungu, yakauwumbiti su tulifani nayomberi.
and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who 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 there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman, but Christ [is] all and in all.
12 Mwenga mwawantu wakuwi Mlungu, yomberi kawafiriti na kawasyagula, vinu muweri na moyu gwa lusungu na uheri na unanaga, na upoli na uhepelera.
Put on, therefore, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, yearnings of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,
13 Mhepelerani na kulekiziyana vidoda, handa muntu kana toziya ya kumlawumu myaguwi. Mlekiziyani vidoda handa Mtuwa ntambu yakawalekiziyani mwenga.
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone may have a quarrel with anyone, as the Christ also forgave you—so also you;
14 Kwa goseri aga ganongoleriti kulonga, muwongeri mafiliru, toziya mafiliru ganamataziya vintu vyoseri muwumu wawuwera mkamilika.
and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection,
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 which you were also called in one body, and become thankful.
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 word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing 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 all, whatever you may do in word or in work, [do] all things in the Name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through Him.
18 Mwenga wadala, muwapikaniri wapalu wenu, ntambu yaimuherepeziya Mtuwa.
The wives: be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the LORD;
19 Namwenga wapalu muwafiri wadala wenu, namuwera wakalipa kwa womberi.
the husbands: love your wives, and do not be bitter with them;
20 Namwenga mwananguta, muwapikaniri walera wenu mugoseri, toziya shitwatira ashi shimfirizia Mtuwa.
the children: obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the LORD;
21 Namwenga ashina tati namwasoziya wananguta wenu, nawiza kuwuya kumbeli.
the fathers: do not distress your children, lest 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.
the servants: obey those who are masters in all things according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;
23 Shoseri shamtenda, mtendi kwa moyu goseri, toziya mumtendera Mtuwa, mumtendera ndiri muntu.
and all, whatever you may do—out of soul work—as to the LORD, and not to men,
24 Muliholi Mtuwa hakawapanani lifupu lwa uhala lyakawatuliliti wantu wakuwi. Mumtenderi Kristu Mtuwa!
having known that you will receive the repayment of the inheritance from the LORD—for you serve the LORD Christ;
25 Toziya kila muntu yakatenda vidoda hakanki shibena mgongu sha ukondola wakuwi wala kwahera kubagula.
and he who is doing unrighteously will receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no favor by appearance.
