< 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.
We kꞌu xixkꞌastaj rukꞌ ri Cristo, are bꞌa chitzukuj ri jastaq rech chilaꞌ chikaj, jawjeꞌ ri tꞌuyul wi ri Cristo pa uwiqiqꞌabꞌ ri Dios.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Are chichomaj rij ri jastaq ri kꞌo chilaꞌ chikaj, man are ta ri kꞌo cho ri uwachulew,
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
ri ix ix kaminaq chik, ri ikꞌaslemal ix awatal rukꞌ Cristo pa Dios.
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Are kukꞌut ribꞌ ri Cristo, ri ikꞌaslemal kixkꞌut na xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ areꞌ, pa ri ujuluwem.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Rumal riꞌ chibꞌana chi ri ityoꞌjal kaminaq chik chubꞌanik mak, chitzaqa kan ri bꞌanoj taq mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ, ri jastaq ri man e chꞌajchꞌoj taj, itzel taq irayinik, jiqꞌjatem, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri qꞌijilaꞌn taq jastaq ri man Dios taj.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Rumal taq we jastaq riꞌ kape ri royawal ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq ri man keniman taj.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
Are waꞌ kibꞌan taq kan nabꞌe, are ix muꞌl chupam ri mak.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Kamik kꞌut chitzaqa kan ronojel oyawal, chꞌuꞌjilal, etzelal, bꞌanoj taq tzij, xuqujeꞌ ubꞌixik itzel taq tzij.
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Man kibꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij chibꞌil taq iwibꞌ, rumal chi iwesam chi kan ri qꞌeꞌl taq atzꞌyaqibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri ijiqꞌjatem.
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
Xuqujeꞌ ikojom chik ri kꞌakꞌ atzꞌyaqibꞌal rech ri kꞌakꞌ kꞌaslemal, ri kakꞌexkꞌobꞌik pa ri retaꞌmabꞌal ri ukaꞌyibꞌal ri tikol rech.
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.
Pa we kꞌakꞌ kꞌaslemal riꞌ, man choqꞌaqꞌ taj we aꞌj Israel ri winaq o man aꞌj Israel taj, we okisatal retal o man okisatal taj, we kꞌo retaꞌmabꞌal o maj retaꞌmabꞌal, we tzoqopitalik o man tzoqopital taj, xane are ri Cristo ronojel, xuqujeꞌ kꞌo pa kanimaꞌ konojel.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Rumal kꞌu ri ixuchaꞌom apanoq ri Dios, ix tyoxalaj taq winaq xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj ix loqꞌ, chiwatzꞌyaqibꞌej bꞌa ri ubꞌanik toqꞌobꞌ, mochꞌochꞌem, utzilal, xuqujeꞌ kochꞌoj ibꞌ.
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.
Rech kixkwinik kitoꞌ iwibꞌ, we kꞌo ne jun kuchꞌaꞌ ribꞌ che jun chik, chixkuyun bꞌa jetaq ri xubꞌan ri Ajawxel che ikuyik.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Pa uwiꞌ ronojel, chiwatzꞌyaqibꞌej ri loqꞌanik rumal areꞌ qas chapowinaq ronojel.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Are ri ujaꞌmaril ri Cristo, ri xixsikꞌinik rech kixux xa jun tyoꞌjal, bꞌana rech pa taq ri iwanimaꞌ, xuqujeꞌ chiya tyoxinik.
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.
Are kꞌol ri utzij ri Cristo pa iwanimaꞌ, chipixabꞌaj iwibꞌ xuqujeꞌ chiya taq inoꞌj rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal, chibꞌixoj ri salmos, xuqujeꞌ chiya bꞌix pa ri Uxlabꞌixel che ri Dios rukꞌ tyoxinik pa taq iwanimaꞌ.
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.
Ronojel kꞌu ri kibꞌano, we kꞌu xa kibꞌij o xane kibꞌano, chibꞌana pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús, chixtyoxin che ri Tataxel rumal ri Cristo.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Kꞌulanik taq ixoqibꞌ, chiꞌnimaj ri iwachajilal, jacha ri taqal cho ri Dios.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
Achajilom, chiꞌloqꞌaj ri iwixoqilal, man xaq ta kixkꞌankꞌat kukꞌ.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ, chiꞌnimaj ri itat inan che ronojel ri kixkitaq wi, rumal chi are waꞌ kaqaj cho ri Ajawxel.
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
Tat nan, man kiyak ta koyawal ri iꞌwalkꞌwaꞌl, rech man kakꞌistaj ta kikꞌuꞌx.
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.
Ajchakibꞌ, chiꞌnimaj ri iꞌwajaw rech ri uwachulew, man xaq xwi ta kixpatanijik are e kꞌo iwukꞌ, jetaq ri winaq ri kakaj keqaj chikiwach ri e winaq, xane chibꞌana rukꞌ rutzil iwanimaꞌ, kimochꞌ iwibꞌ cho ri Dios.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Ronojel kꞌu ri kibꞌano, chibꞌana rukꞌ rutzil iwanimaꞌ, rumal che ri Dios kibꞌan wi, man chike ta ri winaq.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Iwetaꞌm kꞌut chi are ri Ajawxel kayoꞌw ukꞌaxelal ri echabꞌal, rumal cher are kipatanij ri Cristo ri Ajawxel.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Are kꞌu ri man are ta kubꞌan ri sukꞌ, kukꞌamawaꞌj na ukꞌaxelal ri kubꞌano, rumal man xaq ta e kꞌyaqal ri kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri tojbꞌal rech ri kꞌaxal ri kakibꞌano.
