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.
Anga itule hangi Itunda umiukilye palung'wi nu Kristo, madumi imakani na akigulya kuiza uKristo wikiie ku mukono nua kigoha nuang'wa Itunda.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Sigiili kutula imakani a kigulya, shanga kutula makani a mihi.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Kunsoko makulee, nu likalo nu lanyu lapihilwe palung'wi nu Kristo kung'wa Itunda.
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Matungo uKristo nuikigeeleka, naiza ingi likalo nu lanyu, Papo nunyenye ga mukigeeleka nu ng'wenso mu ikulyo.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Kululo mapihi i makani namoli mihi ingi, ugoolya, ushapu, nsula ni mbi bii, masigo ni ma bi bii, ni nsula, naiza ingi ikumbiko nila adudu.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Ingi kunsoko a makani aya ikuo nilang'wa Itunda lipembilye migulya a ana niagila u lwijo.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
Igi kunsoko a makani aya ga nu unyenye ai mugendee ku nanso nai mikiie mukati ao.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Kuiti itungili ingi kusinja mumaheje i makani aya ihi. Ingi, ikuo, utaki, nsula ni mbi bii, ituki, ni makani ni mashapu ni pumiila mu malango anyu.
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Leki kikongeli nyenye ku nyenye, ku nsoko mautugulaa u untu nuanyu nua kali ni ntendo niakwe.
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
Matugalaa untu ugeni, naza witung'waa ugeni mu uhugu kupembelya ni mpyani a uyo naiza mu umbi.
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.
Mu uhugu uwu, kutili uMuyunani nu Muyahudi, kutalwa kidamu nu kuhita kutalwa i kidamu, mumanyi ni shanga mumanyi, mutung'waa, ni shanga mu tung'waa, kuiti badala akwe uKristo ingi makani ihi.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Anga mi aholanigwa ang'wa Itunda, Elu hangi alowa, tugalii u untu nu ukende, uzaa nkolo, uliuki, upolo nu ugimya.
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.
Iho eeli nyenye ku nyenye. I a isiilyi kila muntu nu muya. Anga ize u muntu ukete isosho ku muya, amulekele kunsoko yiyo yiyoo naiza uMukulu nai umulekee unyenye.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Ikilo nila makani aya ihi, Mutule nu ulowa, naza kiko kinsaasha ka ukondaniili.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Ulyuuku nuang'wa Kristo umutongeele mu nkolo nianyu. Ai ituile ingi kunsoko a ulyuuku uwu kina ai mitangiwe mu muili ung'wi. Tuli ni ilumbiilyo.
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.
Nu lukani nulang'wa Kristo likie mukati anyu ku ugoli. Ku upolo wihi, imanyisi nu kisija u nyenye ku nyenye ku malumbiilyo, mimbo, ni mimbo a munkolo. Imbi ku ulumbi i nkolo nianyu kung'wa Itunda.
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.
Hangi kihi ni mukituma, mu makani ang'wi, mu ntendo, itumi ihi ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu. Mi nkiilyi i lumbi Itunda Tata kukiila uNg'wenso.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Akima, liuki ku itunja anyu, anga ni izipiie ku Mukulu.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
Nu nyenye itunja, alowi i a kima anyu, hangi muleke kutula miataki ki italao.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Ang'yinya, akulyi i aleli anyu mu makani ihi, ndogoelyo uu ni imuloeelya uMukulu.
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
a Tata leki kuasakulyi i ana anyu, iti kina aleke kuambwa nu ukata.
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.
Atugwa, akulyi i akulu anyu mu muili ku makani ihi, shanga ku u ailigwa nua miho anga antu nia kiloa udu, ila ku nkolo nia tai. Mogopi Itunda.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Kihi ni ukituma, itumi kupuma mu imi nuanyu anga ku Mukulu hangi shanga ku ana adamu.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Mu lingile kina mikasingiilya kipegwa nika usali kupuma ku Mukulu. Ingi uKristo Mukulu ni mukumitumila.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Ku nsoko wihi nuitumaa ni shanga taiane ukusingiilya ulamuli ku ntendo ni shanga taiane naza witumile, hangi kutili uguniiligwa.
