VaKorose 3
1 Sezvo, zvino, makamutswa pamwe chete naKristu, isai mwoyo yenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, uko kugere Kristu kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari.
If then you have been raised with Christ, the [things] above do seek, where Christ is at [the] right hand of God sitting;
2 Isai pfungwa dzenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, kwete pazvinhu zvenyika.
The [things] above do set [your] minds on not the [things] on the earth.
3 Nokuti makafa, uye upenyu hwenyu hwakavigwa zvino naKristu muna Mwari.
You have died for and the life of you has been hidden with Christ in God;
4 Panoonekwa Kristu, iye upenyu hwenyu, ipapo nemiwo muchaonekwa pamwe chete naye mukubwinya.
When Christ may be revealed, the life (of you, *N(K)O*) then also you yourselves with Him will appear in glory.
5 Naizvozvo, urayai zvose zvenyu zvenyika zvinoti: upombwe, netsvina, nokusachena, nokuchiva, nokuda zvakaipa uye kukara, ndiko kunamata zvifananidzo.
do put to death therefore the members (of you *K*) which [are] upon the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, desire evil and covetousness which is idolatry,
6 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, kutsamwa kwaMwari kuri kuuya.
because of which things is coming the wrath of God on the sons of disobedience;
7 Imi maimbofamba mazviri, muupenyu hwamaimborarama.
in which also you yourselves walked once when you were living in (them. *N(k)O*)
8 Asi zvino munofanira kuzvidzora pane zvose zvakadai sezvizvi zvinoti: kutsamwa, hasha, ruvengo, makuhwa, nokutaura zvakaora zvichibva pamiromo yenyu.
Now however do put off also you yourselves all [these] things: anger, rage, malice, slander, foul language out of the mouth of you.
9 Musareverana nhema, sezvo makabvisa munhu wenyu wekare namabasa ake
Not do lie to one another having put off the old man with the practices of him
10 mukafuka munhu mutsva, ari kuvandudzwa mukuziva, mumufananidzo woMusiki wake.
and having put on the new, which is being renewed in knowledge according to [the] image of the [one who] having 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 not there is Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, slave, free, but all and in all Christ [is].
12 Naizvozvo savasanangurwa vaMwari, vatsvene uye vanodikanwa kwazvo, zvifukidzei netsitsi, nounyoro, nokuzvininipisa, nokupfava uye nomwoyo murefu.
do put on therefore, as [the] elect of God holy and beloved, hearts (of compassion, *N(k)O*) kindness, humility, gentleness, [and] patience;
13 Munzwirane tsitsi uye mukanganwirane pamhosva ipi zvayo yamunenge matadzirana. Mukanganwire sezvamakakanganwirwa naShe.
bearing with each other and forgiving each other If anyone against another shall have a complaint; even as also the (Lord *N(K)O*) has forgiven you, so also you;
14 Uye pazvinhu zvose izvi fukai rudo, runokusunganidzai pamwe chete muhumwe hwakakwana.
Beyond all now these [put on] the love, (which *N(k)O*) is [the] bond of perfect unity.
15 Rugare rwaKristu ngarutonge mumwoyo yenyu, sezvo senhengo dzomuviri mumwe makadanirwa kurugare. Uye munofanira kuvonga.
And the peace (from Christ *N(K)O*) should rule in the hearts of you, to which also you were called in one body; And thankful do be.
16 Shoko raKristu ngarigare zvakakwana mamuri pamunenge muchidzidzisana muchirayirana nouchenjeri hwose, uye muchiimba mapisarema, dzimbo nenziyo dzomweya muchivonga Mwari mumwoyo yenyu.
The word of Christ should dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms, (and *k*) in hymns, (and *k*) in songs spiritual with (*no*) grace singing in (the hearts *N(k)O*) of you (to God; *N(K)O*)
17 Uye zvose zvamunoita, mushoko kana mumabasa, itai zvose muzita raIshe Jesu, muchivonga Mwari ivo Baba kubudikidza naye.
And everything (which what *NK(o)*) (maybe *N(k)O*) you shall do in word or in deed, all in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus giving thanks to God (and *k*) [the] Father through Him.
18 Vakadzi, zviisei pasi pavarume venyu, sezvazvakafanira muna She.
you who [are] wives, do be submitted (to [your] own *K*) husbands as was fitting in [the] Lord.
19 Varume, idai vakadzi venyu musingavabati nehasha.
you who [are] Husbands, do love the wives and not do be harsh toward them.
20 Vana, teererai vabereki venyu pazvinhu zvose, nokuti izvi zvinofadza Ishe.
you who [are] Children, do obey the parents in all things; this for pleasing is (in *N(k)O*) Lord.
21 Madzibaba, musanetsa vana venyu, nokuti vanozoora mwoyo.
you who [are] Fathers, not do provoke the children of you, that not they may become 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.
you who [are] Slaves, do obey in all things the according to flesh masters, not with (eye-service *N(k)O*) as men-pleasers but in sincerity of heart fearing the (Lord. *N(K)O*)
23 Zvose zvamunoita, itai zvose nomwoyo wose, savanhu vanoshandira Ishe, kwete munhu,
(and *k*) (everything *K*) that (any [of] *K*) maybe you shall do, from [the] soul do work as to the Lord and not to men;
24 sezvo muchiziva kuti muchagamuchira nhaka kubva kuna She somubayiro. NdiIshe Kristu wamunoshumira.
knowing that from [the] Lord (you will receive *NK(o)*) the reward of the inheritance; The (for *k*) Lord Christ you serve.
25 Ani naani anoita zvakaipa achatsiviwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake, uye hapana kutsaura vanhu.
The [one] (for *N(k)O*) doing wrong he will be repaid [for] what he has done wrong and not there is partiality.
