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.
Hinu, yikavyai muyukiswi pamonga na Kilisitu, mlondayi gegavi kunani kweavili Kilisitu, atamili upandi wa kulyelela wa Chapanga.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Mholalela mambu ga kunani, na lepi mambu ga pamulima apa.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Muni nyenye mfwili na wumi winu ufiyiki pamonga na Kilisitu mugati ya Chapanga.
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Wumi winu wa chakaka ndi Kilisitu, na lukumbi lwaki peihumila na nyenye mewa yati mwivya pamonga nayu muukulu.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Hinu, mkoma mnogo uhakau wa pamulima zemuvelekiwi nazu ngati, ukemi, uhakau, mnogo uhakau uhutulu ngati kufugamila vimong'omong'o.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Ndava ya mambu genago ligoga laki Chapanga likuvabwelela voha vangamyidakila mwene.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
Lukumbi lumonga nyenye mweatamili kulandana na mnogo wa mambu ago gahakau gemvelikwi nagu.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Nambu hinu yikuvagana kuleka mambu ago goha, ligoga na mnogo na uhakau, kuvevesa amala maligu gakotoka kuhuma mu milomo yinu.
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Mkoto kujovelana udese, muni nyenye mmali kuwula mnogo uhakau wemuvelikwi nawu pamonga na matendu gaki goha,
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
muwala wumi wa mupya, wiwiyendelela wihengewa upya na Chapanga muwumba. Muni avakitayi kummanya bwina na kuvya ngati mwene.
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.
Chenichi ndi, kawaka kangi kulekengana Myawudi na anga Myawudi, mweadumwili jandu na mwangadumula jandu, mweasomili na mweangasoma mvanda na mwealekekisiwi. Nambu Kilisitu ndi vyoha, avi muvyoha.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Nyenye ndi vandu vaki Chapanga, mwene avaganili na kuvahagula. Hinu ndi, muvya na mtima wa lipyana, ubwina na unngolongondi, uhiluka na ukangamala.
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.
Msindimalinanayi na kulekekesana mmonga winu peivya na lijambu loloha kwa muyaki. Mganikiwa kulekekesana ngati Bambu winu cheavalekisi nyenye.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Mukuyonjokesa genago, muyendelela kukamulila uganu, muni uganu wikunga kila chindu muumonga wa uchakaka.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Na uteke wa Kilisitu ulongosa mumitima yinu, muni ndava Chapanga avakemili nyenye mvya na uteke mwakemeliwi kuvya higa yimonga. Kavili kusengusa!
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.
Ujumbi wa Kilisitu utama kwa umahele mugati yinu. Muwulanayi na kuhakalilana kwa luhala lwoha. Muyimba nyimbu za zabuli na nyimbu za kumsengusa Chapanga na nyimbu za kumuyupa Chapanga, mumyimbila Chapanga nyimbu za kusengusa.
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.
Na kila chindu chemwikita kwa malovi amala litendu, mkita goha kwa kumtopesa Bambu Yesu na kumsengusa Chapanga Dadi mu njila yaki.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Nyenye vadala, muvayuwanila vagosi vinu, muni ndi cheigana Chapanga.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
Na vagosi nyenye, muvagana vadala vinu, na mkoto kuvaywangila.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Vana nyenye, mvakitila gabwina vadadi na vanyina vinu magono goha ndi yikumganisa Bambu.
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
Vadadi na vanyina nyenye, mkoto kuvakitila luhonda vana vinu, nambu yati videnyeka mtima.
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.
Vavanda nyenye muvayuwanila vakulu vinu mugoha, lepi pevakuvalola ndu mwigana mulolekanayi vabwina nambu mkita genago kwa mtima woha ndava ya kumlumba Bambu.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Kila chemwihenga muhenga kwa mtima winu woha, ndava ya kumuhengela Bambu lepi ndava ya kumuhengela mundu.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Mukumbuka kuvya Bambu yati akuvapela njombi yila yeavavikili vandu vaki. Ndava munu mwemukuhegela ndi Kilisitu Bambu!
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Mweikita gahakau yati ipokela kulandana na uhakau waki, Chapanga ibagula lepi.
