Colossians 3
1 If however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand.
Bhai monaga nnyushiywenje pamo na a Kilishitu, mwiloleyanje indu ya kunani kubhali a Kilishitu, numbe bhashitama kunkono nnilo gwa a Nnungu.
2 Give your minds to the things that are above, not to the things that are on the earth.
Mwiganishayanje indu ya kunani, nngabha indu ya pa shilambolyo pano.
3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Pabha mwawilenje, na gumi gwenunji ushiiywa pamo na a Kilishitu kwa a Nnungu.
4 When Christ appears--He is our true Life--then you also will appear with Him in glory.
Pushibhabhoneshe a Kilishitu bhali gumi gwetu, penepo shimmonekanje pamo na bhenebho, muukonjelo.
5 Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations--fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.
Bhai, ibhalo yenunji inalame nkulokolila indu ya pashilambolyo, malinga kulabhalabha na indu ya nyata na ilokoli ya nyata na ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone, pabha kutenda yeneyo ni malinga kutindibhalila yanamu.
6 It is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming,
Kwa ligongo lya genego, nnjimwa ja a Nnungu jinakwiya.
7 and you also were once addicted to them, while you were living under their power.
Nkali mmanganyanji bhukala mwatemingenenje nndamo ja tenda yene induyo.
8 But now you must rid yourselves of every kind of sin--angry and passionate outbreaks, ill-will, evil speaking, foul-mouthed abuse--so that these may never soil your lips.
Ikabheje nnaino mmanganyanji nnapinjikwanga kuileka yoweyo, nnjimwa, na ilokoli, na ilebho na kulosha na matukano, ganakoposhe nkang'wa yenunji.
9 Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings,
Nnabhalanjilananje ya unami, pabha nng'ulilenje gundu gwa bhukala na itendi yakwe yowe,
10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it.
nng'wetenje gundu gwa ambi. Upunda alaywa ukoto nkwaalanda a Nnungu, nkupinga nkolanje lunda lwa kwaamanya bhayene bhaapanganya.
11 In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is everything and is in all of us.
Penepo shakwa sha lugula kabhili kuti abha, Bhayaudi eu Bhagiliki eu ajalwishe na jwangajaluka, nngumba wala jwampenye, ntumwa wala nngwana, ikabhe a Kilishitu ni yowe, na kwa kila shindu.
12 Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
Bhai pabha nshibhanganga bhandu nng'agwilwenje na a Nnungu, bha ukonjelo nkupingwanga, ntolanje ntima gwa shiya na uguja na kwiitimalika na shinunu na kwiiluma.
13 bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive.
Nnaukumulane nneshelelananje, mundu akolaga shiumilo sha kunnugula nnjakwe, bhai mbaya anneshelele malinga Bhakulungwa shibhanneshelelenje mmanganyanji.
14 And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union;
Kupunda gene gowego, ntamangananje nkupingana, pabha kupingana kunalundanya indu yowe nibha shindu shimo sha nng'ilimila.
15 and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful.
Na ulele gwa a Kilishitu gunnongoyanje mitima jenunji, pabha genego ni gunshemelwenje kubha shiilu shimo. Na mmanganje bhandunji bhatendanga eja.
16 Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God.
Malobhe ga ngani ja a Kilishitu gagumbale mmitima jenunji, akuno nnijiganyananga na leyana kwa lunda lowe, nnikwaajimbilanga a Nnungu nyimbo ya mbeembela na nyimbo ya muntima, akuno nnitendanga eja mmitima jenunji.
17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.
Shoshowe shinkukamulanga kwa lilobhe eu itendi, yowe ntendanje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, na kwaatendela eja Atati a Nnungu kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
18 Married women, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Mmandonyanji mwaapilikanilanje ashimbuje bhenunji, nneyo ni shibhapinga Bhakulungwa.
19 Married men, be affectionate to your wives, and do not treat them harshly.
Mmanabhalume nnombilenje, mwaapinganje ashakongo bhenunji, nnakolanje nngomo.
20 Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians.
Bhana, mwaapilikanilanje bhankwetenje kwa kila shindu, pabha genego ni gubhapinga Bhakulungwa.
21 Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose.
Na mmanganyanji ashaaina mundu, nnaatandubhanje ashibhana bhenunji, bhanawanganga mitima.
22 Slaves, be obedient in everything to your earthly masters; not in acts of eye service, as aiming only to please men, but with simplicity of purpose, because you fear the Lord.
Bhatumwa, mwaapilikanilanje bhakulungwa bhenunji bha pa shilambolyo pano, kwa kila shindu na nngabha kwa jimililwape nkupinga muikonjeleyanje pa meyo gabhonji, ikabheje ntendanje nneyo kwa ntima gwa mmbone, akuno nnikwaajogopanga a Nnungu.
23 Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.
Shoshowe shinkukamulanga, ntendanje kwa ntima gowe mbuti nkwaatendelanga Bhakulungwa na wala nngabha mundu.
24 For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are.
Mmumanyanje kuti shimposhelanje upo ya ulishi ibhammishilenje Bhakulungwa. Pabha nnakwaatumishilanga Bhakulungwa a Kilishitu.
25 The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions.
Pabha atenda yangali ya mmbone shalipwe yangali ya mmbone malinga shatendile, pabha kwa a Nnungu kwangali bhonelwa.
