Colossians 3
1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Nsyuchile pamo ni Kilisito, kwayele muiganisye indu yaili kwinani kwali Kilisito atemi upande wauli ni ulamusi wa Akunnungu.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Nganisyeje indu yaili kwinani ni ngaŵa yaili pa chilambo pano.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe mwaliji ŵawe ni umi wenu usisiche pamo ni Kilisito munkati mwa Akunnungu.
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Kilisito ali umi wenu wa usyene, nombewo pachawoneche sooni nipele ŵanyamwe chimmoneche pamo nawo mu ukulu wao.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Nipele, nsiulaje kila tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo sya pachilambo yaani chikululu ni usakwa ni tama ni nganisyo syangalumbana ni lipamo yaili nti kupopela inyago.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Kwa ligongo lya sambi si, lutumbilo lwa Akunnungu lukwaichilila ŵelewo ŵakukana kupilikanichisya.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
Kalakala, ŵanyamwe mwatamaga nkusikuya tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Nambo sambano nneche yeleyi, lutumbilo ni tama ni chigongomalo ni kwatukana Akunnungu. Maloŵe gangalimate ganakopoche nkang'wa mwenu.
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Kasinnambusyana, pakuŵa ntyosisye tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo pamo ni isambo yakwe yose,
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
ni kuuwala umi wa sambano, aula umi waukwendelechela kutendekwa wa sambano ni Akunnungu ŵakugumba. Ni kwa kwamanyilila uchenene chikuntende mme mpela ŵelewo.
11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
Kwa ligongo lyo, ngapagwa sooni utinda pasikati ja Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki, ŵaumbele ni ŵangaumbala, jwasyomile ni jwangasyoma, kapolo ni jwalechelelwe. Nambo Kilisito ali yose nombe ali mu yose.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, jwelejo ŵannonyele ni kunsagula kuti mme ŵandu ŵakwe. Kwa yele mmanje ni ntima wa chanasa ni ntima wambone ni wa kulitulusya ni kulitimilika ni upililiu.
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
Mpilililane jwine ni jwine ni kulechelesyana katema kakalikose mundu akolaga ni maloŵe gakummechetela jwine. Nnechelesyane mpela Ambuje yatite pakunnechelesya ŵanyamwe.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Pakupunda indu yose, njonjechesye unonyelo pakuŵa unonyelo ukutaŵikanya indu yose mu umo uuli utindimisyo.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Chitendewele cha Kilisito chitawale mmitima jenu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ammilasile ŵanyamwe kuti chipagwe chele chitendewele mu chiilu chimo, ni mme ŵakutogolela.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
Utenga wa Kilisito ugumbale nkati mwenu. Njiganyane ni kujamukana kwa lunda lose. Njiimbe sabuli ni nyimbo syakwalapa Akunnungu ni nyimbo sya kwapopela akuno nchajimbilaga Akunnungu kwa kutogolela mmitima jenu.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Chichintende chose pane kuŵecheta, mpanganye yose kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu ni kwatogolela Akunnungu Atati kwa litala lyao Che Yesu.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Ŵanyamwe achakongwe, mwapilikanichisye achiŵankwenu, yeleyi ni yakuti pakwanonyelesya Ambuje.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
Ni ŵanyamwe achalume, mwanonyele achiŵankwenu, ni kasimma ŵakalipa kukwao.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Ni ŵanyamwe ŵanache mwapilikanichisye achaŵelesi ŵenu mu yose, pakuŵa chelechi chikwanonyelesya Ambuje.
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
Ni ŵanyamwe achaŵelesi kasimwalipula ŵanache ŵenu, kuti akapwa ntima.
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
Ni ŵanyamwe achikapolo mwapilikanichisye aŵala ŵaali achakulu ŵenu kwa chiilu mu indu yose, nkapilikanichisya pe katema pakummona kuti mmoneche ŵambone kukwao nambo ntendeje yeleyo ni ntima wenu wose ligongo lya kwachimbichisya Ambuje Che Yesu.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Chinkutenda chachilichose, ntende ni ntima wenu wose, mpela nkwatendela Ambuje ni ngaŵa nkwatendela ŵandu.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Nkumbuchile kuti Ambuje chachimpa ŵanyamwe mbote jakwagosela ŵandu ŵao. Pakuŵa Kilisito ali Ambuje ŵa usyene unkwatumichila.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakupanganya yangalumbana, chapochele malipilo ga yangalumbana yapangenye, ligongo Akunnungu nganakola lusagu kose.
