VaKorose 3
1 Sezvo, zvino, makamutswa pamwe chete naKristu, isai mwoyo yenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, uko kugere Kristu kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari.
IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Isai pfungwa dzenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, kwete pazvinhu zvenyika.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 Nokuti makafa, uye upenyu hwenyu hwakavigwa zvino naKristu muna Mwari.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 Panoonekwa Kristu, iye upenyu hwenyu, ipapo nemiwo muchaonekwa pamwe chete naye mukubwinya.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Naizvozvo, urayai zvose zvenyu zvenyika zvinoti: upombwe, netsvina, nokusachena, nokuchiva, nokuda zvakaipa uye kukara, ndiko kunamata zvifananidzo.
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, kutsamwa kwaMwari kuri kuuya.
For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 Imi maimbofamba mazviri, muupenyu hwamaimborarama.
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 Asi zvino munofanira kuzvidzora pane zvose zvakadai sezvizvi zvinoti: kutsamwa, hasha, ruvengo, makuhwa, nokutaura zvakaora zvichibva pamiromo yenyu.
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Musareverana nhema, sezvo makabvisa munhu wenyu wekare namabasa ake
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 mukafuka munhu mutsva, ari kuvandudzwa mukuziva, mumufananidzo woMusiki wake.
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that 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.
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, 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 mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Munzwirane tsitsi uye mukanganwirane pamhosva ipi zvayo yamunenge matadzirana. Mukanganwire sezvamakakanganwirwa naShe.
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 Uye pazvinhu zvose izvi fukai rudo, runokusunganidzai pamwe chete muhumwe hwakakwana.
And above all these things put on charity, 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 God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye 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 Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 Uye zvose zvamunoita, mushoko kana mumabasa, itai zvose muzita raIshe Jesu, muchivonga Mwari ivo Baba kubudikidza naye.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Vakadzi, zviisei pasi pavarume venyu, sezvazvakafanira muna She.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit 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 unto the Lord.
21 Madzibaba, musanetsa vana venyu, nokuti vanozoora mwoyo.
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Varanda, teererai vatenzi venyu vapanyika muzvinhu zvose; uye muzviite, kwete kuti vakuonei chete uye kuti mudikanwe navo, asi nokutendeka kwomwoyo uye nokutya Ishe.
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 Zvose zvamunoita, itai zvose nomwoyo wose, savanhu vanoshandira Ishe, kwete munhu,
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 sezvo muchiziva kuti muchagamuchira nhaka kubva kuna She somubayiro. NdiIshe Kristu wamunoshumira.
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 Ani naani anoita zvakaipa achatsiviwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake, uye hapana kutsaura vanhu.
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
