VaKorose 3
1 Sezvo, zvino, makamutswa pamwe chete naKristu, isai mwoyo yenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, uko kugere Kristu kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari.
If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:
2 Isai pfungwa dzenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, kwete pazvinhu zvenyika.
have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;
3 Nokuti makafa, uye upenyu hwenyu hwakavigwa zvino naKristu muna Mwari.
for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.
4 Panoonekwa Kristu, iye upenyu hwenyu, ipapo nemiwo muchaonekwa pamwe chete naye mukubwinya.
When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.
5 Naizvozvo, urayai zvose zvenyu zvenyika zvinoti: upombwe, netsvina, nokusachena, nokuchiva, nokuda zvakaipa uye kukara, ndiko kunamata zvifananidzo.
Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.
6 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, kutsamwa kwaMwari kuri kuuya.
On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Imi maimbofamba mazviri, muupenyu hwamaimborarama.
In which ye also once walked when ye lived in these things.
8 Asi zvino munofanira kuzvidzora pane zvose zvakadai sezvizvi zvinoti: kutsamwa, hasha, ruvengo, makuhwa, nokutaura zvakaora zvichibva pamiromo yenyu.
But now, put off, ye also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.
9 Musareverana nhema, sezvo makabvisa munhu wenyu wekare namabasa ake
Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,
10 mukafuka munhu mutsva, ari kuvandudzwa mukuziva, mumufananidzo woMusiki wake.
and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;
11 Apa hapachina muGiriki kana muJudha, kudzingiswa kana kusadzingiswa, mutorwa kana muSitia, nhapwa kana akasununguka, asi Kristu ndiye zvose, uye ari mune zvose.
wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all.
12 Naizvozvo savasanangurwa vaMwari, vatsvene uye vanodikanwa kwazvo, zvifukidzei netsitsi, nounyoro, nokuzvininipisa, nokupfava uye nomwoyo murefu.
Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Munzwirane tsitsi uye mukanganwirane pamhosva ipi zvayo yamunenge matadzirana. Mukanganwire sezvamakakanganwirwa naShe.
forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] ye.
14 Uye pazvinhu zvose izvi fukai rudo, runokusunganidzai pamwe chete muhumwe hwakakwana.
And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 Rugare rwaKristu ngarutonge mumwoyo yenyu, sezvo senhengo dzomuviri mumwe makadanirwa kurugare. Uye munofanira kuvonga.
And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.
16 Shoko raKristu ngarigare zvakakwana mamuri pamunenge muchidzidzisana muchirayirana nouchenjeri hwose, uye muchiimba mapisarema, dzimbo nenziyo dzomweya muchivonga Mwari mumwoyo yenyu.
Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
17 Uye zvose zvamunoita, mushoko kana mumabasa, itai zvose muzita raIshe Jesu, muchivonga Mwari ivo Baba kubudikidza naye.
And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
18 Vakadzi, zviisei pasi pavarume venyu, sezvazvakafanira muna She.
Wives, be subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord.
19 Varume, idai vakadzi venyu musingavabati nehasha.
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Vana, teererai vabereki venyu pazvinhu zvose, nokuti izvi zvinofadza Ishe.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord.
21 Madzibaba, musanetsa vana venyu, nokuti vanozoora mwoyo.
Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.
22 Varanda, teererai vatenzi venyu vapanyika muzvinhu zvose; uye muzviite, kwete kuti vakuonei chete uye kuti mudikanwe navo, asi nokutendeka kwomwoyo uye nokutya Ishe.
Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.
23 Zvose zvamunoita, itai zvose nomwoyo wose, savanhu vanoshandira Ishe, kwete munhu,
Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men;
24 sezvo muchiziva kuti muchagamuchira nhaka kubva kuna She somubayiro. NdiIshe Kristu wamunoshumira.
knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 Ani naani anoita zvakaipa achatsiviwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake, uye hapana kutsaura vanhu.
For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
