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.
Sezvo, zvino, makamutswa pamwe chete naKristu, isai mwoyo yenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, uko kugere Kristu kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Isai pfungwa dzenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, kwete pazvinhu zvenyika.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Nokuti makafa, uye upenyu hwenyu hwakavigwa zvino naKristu muna Mwari.
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Panoonekwa Kristu, iye upenyu hwenyu, ipapo nemiwo muchaonekwa pamwe chete naye mukubwinya.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Naizvozvo, urayai zvose zvenyu zvenyika zvinoti: upombwe, netsvina, nokusachena, nokuchiva, nokuda zvakaipa uye kukara, ndiko kunamata zvifananidzo.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Nokuda kwaizvozvi, kutsamwa kwaMwari kuri kuuya.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
Imi maimbofamba mazviri, muupenyu hwamaimborarama.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Asi zvino munofanira kuzvidzora pane zvose zvakadai sezvizvi zvinoti: kutsamwa, hasha, ruvengo, makuhwa, nokutaura zvakaora zvichibva pamiromo yenyu.
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Musareverana nhema, sezvo makabvisa munhu wenyu wekare namabasa ake
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
mukafuka munhu mutsva, ari kuvandudzwa mukuziva, mumufananidzo woMusiki wake.
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.
Apa hapachina muGiriki kana muJudha, kudzingiswa kana kusadzingiswa, mutorwa kana muSitia, nhapwa kana akasununguka, asi Kristu ndiye zvose, uye ari mune zvose.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Naizvozvo savasanangurwa vaMwari, vatsvene uye vanodikanwa kwazvo, zvifukidzei netsitsi, nounyoro, nokuzvininipisa, nokupfava uye nomwoyo murefu.
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.
Munzwirane tsitsi uye mukanganwirane pamhosva ipi zvayo yamunenge matadzirana. Mukanganwire sezvamakakanganwirwa naShe.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Uye pazvinhu zvose izvi fukai rudo, runokusunganidzai pamwe chete muhumwe hwakakwana.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Rugare rwaKristu ngarutonge mumwoyo yenyu, sezvo senhengo dzomuviri mumwe makadanirwa kurugare. Uye munofanira kuvonga.
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.
Shoko raKristu ngarigare zvakakwana mamuri pamunenge muchidzidzisana muchirayirana nouchenjeri hwose, uye muchiimba mapisarema, dzimbo nenziyo dzomweya muchivonga Mwari mumwoyo yenyu.
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.
Uye zvose zvamunoita, mushoko kana mumabasa, itai zvose muzita raIshe Jesu, muchivonga Mwari ivo Baba kubudikidza naye.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Vakadzi, zviisei pasi pavarume venyu, sezvazvakafanira muna She.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
Varume, idai vakadzi venyu musingavabati nehasha.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Vana, teererai vabereki venyu pazvinhu zvose, nokuti izvi zvinofadza Ishe.
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
Madzibaba, musanetsa vana venyu, nokuti vanozoora mwoyo.
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.
Varanda, teererai vatenzi venyu vapanyika muzvinhu zvose; uye muzviite, kwete kuti vakuonei chete uye kuti mudikanwe navo, asi nokutendeka kwomwoyo uye nokutya Ishe.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Zvose zvamunoita, itai zvose nomwoyo wose, savanhu vanoshandira Ishe, kwete munhu,
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
sezvo muchiziva kuti muchagamuchira nhaka kubva kuna She somubayiro. NdiIshe Kristu wamunoshumira.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Ani naani anoita zvakaipa achatsiviwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake, uye hapana kutsaura vanhu.
