Kolosefo 3
1 Wɔanyan mo ne Kristo aba nkwa mu. Afei munnwen ɔsoro nneɛma ho, faako a Kristo te, Onyankopɔn nifa so, di hene no.
If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God.
2 Saa nneɛma no na momma mo adwene nkɔ so, na ɛnyɛ asase yi so nneɛma.
Set your mind on the things above, not on things on the earth.
3 Efisɛ moawu na wɔde mo nkwa ne Kristo ahintaw wɔ Onyankopɔn mu.
For ye died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God;
4 Na sɛ Kristo a ɔyɛ mo nkwa no ba a, mo ne no bɛba wɔ nʼanuonyam mu.
when Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also be manifested with him in glory.
5 Munyi wiase akɔnnɔ te sɛ aguamammɔ, afideyɛ, bɔne, ne anibere a ɛyɛ abosonsom no mfi mo abrabɔ mu.
Make dead therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
6 Eyinom nti Onyankopɔn abufuw reba.
on account of which things cometh the wrath of God.
7 Bere bi a atwam no, esiane mo akɔnnɔ nti na mobɔ saa bra yi.
In which things ye also once walked, when ye lived in them;
8 Afei munnyae saa nneyɛe yi nyinaa: abufuw, bɔnepɛ, ne ɔtan. Monnyeyaw obi anaa mommma kasa a ɛho ntew mmfi mo anom.
but now put ye away all these, anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy language out of your mouth.
9 Munnnidi atoro nkyerɛ mo ho mo ho, efisɛ moatow nipadua dedaw ne ne su no akyene
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds,
10 de nipadua foforo asi anan mu. Moayɛ nnipa afoforo a daa Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ mo no resakra mo wɔ ne suban so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ bɛhyɛ mo ma.
and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him;
11 Esiane saa nti, amanamanmufo ne Yudafo, twetiatwafo ne momonotoyɛ, awudifo, nkoa ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho no nni hɔ bio. Kristo wɔ biribiara mu. Kristo te yɛn nyinaa mu.
where there is no Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Moyɛ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo. Ɔpɛ mo asɛm nti na oyii mo sɛ ne de, enti monyɛ timmɔbɔ, ayamye, mommrɛ mo ho ase, munnwo na monyɛ abodwokyɛre.
Clothe yourselves, therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, with compassionate affections, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
13 Mommoaboa mo ho mo ho na momfa mo ho mo ho mfomso nkyekyɛ mo ho mo ho. Momfa nkyɛ sɛnea Awurade de kyɛ mo no.
bearing with each other, and forgiving each other, if any one have a complaint against another; even as Christ freely forgave you, do ye also freely forgive;
14 Eyi nyinaa akyi no, momfa ɔdɔ a ɛde koroyɛ ba no nka mo abrabɔ ho.
and over all these things put on the robe of love, which is the bond of perfectness;
15 Momma Kristo asomdwoe no ntena mo koma mu. Saa asomdwoe yi ho na wɔafrɛ mo nyinaa aba Kristo nipadua koro mu. Monyɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ ayeyi.
and let the peace of Christ, to which ye were called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be ye thankful.
16 Kristo asɛm no ne mu nnepa nyinaa ntena mo koma mu. Momfa nyansa nkyerɛkyerɛ. Monto asanku so nnwom ne ayeyi nnwom ne honhom mu nnwom. Mumfi mo koma mu nto aseda nnwom mma Onyankopɔn.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to God;
17 Biribiara a moyɛ anaa moka no, monyɛ wɔ Awurade Yesu din mu na momfa ne so nna Agya Onyankopɔn ase.
and whatever ye do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father, through him.
18 Ɔyerenom, mommrɛ mo ho ase mma mo kununom sɛnea ɛsɛ wɔ Awurade mu.
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Okununom, monnodɔ mo yerenom na monnhyɛ wɔn ahometew.
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Mma, ade nyinaa mu, muntie mo awofo asɛm na eyi na ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani.
Children, obey your parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
21 Agyanom, munnyi mo mma abufuw na ammu wɔn aba mu.
Fathers, provoke not your children, lest they be discouraged.
22 Asomfo, muntie mo wuranom asɛm wɔ ade nyinaa mu. Ɛnyɛ sɛ wɔn ani tua mo nti na ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ na wɔpene mo, na mmom esiane sɛ mudi Awurade ni no nti, momfa koma pa nyɛ.
Bond-servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.
23 Biribiara a moyɛ no, momfa mo koma nyinaa nyɛ na momfa no sɛ moreyɛ ama Awurade na monnyɛ mma nnipa.
Whatever ye do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men,
24 Monkae sɛ Awurade bɛkyɛ mo so ade. Mo nsa bɛka ade a ɔde asie ama ne nkurɔfo no bi. Kristo ne owura a mosom no.
knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the recompense of the inheritance; serve Christ as your Lord.
25 Na obiara a ɔyɛ nea ɛnteɛ no, bɔne a ɔyɛ no so akatua na obenya a nhwɛanim biara nni mu.
For he that doeth wrong, shall receive back the wrong which he hath done; and there is no respect of persons.
