Colossians 3
1 If then you were raised together with Messiah, seek the things that are above, where Messiah is, seated on the right hand of God.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí a ti jí yín dìde pẹ̀lú Kristi ẹ máa ṣàfẹ́rí àwọn nǹkan tí ń bẹ lókè, níbi tí Kristi gbé wà tí ó jókòó ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Ọlọ́run.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Ẹ máa ronú àwọn ohun tí ń bẹ lókè kì í ṣe àwọn nǹkan tí ń bẹ ní ayé.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Messiah in God.
Nítorí ẹ̀yin ti kú, a sì fi ìyè yín pamọ́ pẹ̀lú Kristi nínú Ọlọ́run.
4 When Messiah, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Nígbà tí Kristi, ẹni tí í ṣe ìyè yín yóò farahàn, nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú yóò farahàn pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú ògo.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Ẹ máa pa ẹ̀yà ara yín tí ń bẹ ní ayé run: àgbèrè, panṣágà, ìwà àìmọ́, ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àti ìwọra, nítorí pé ìwọ̀nyí jásí ìbọ̀rìṣà.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Lórí àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ìbínú Ọlọ́run ń bọ̀ wá.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
Ẹ máa ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí tẹ́lẹ̀ nígbà tí ìgbé ayé yín sì jẹ́ apá kan ayé yìí.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ẹ gbọdọ̀ fi àwọn wọ̀nyí sílẹ̀: ìbínú, ìrunú, àrankàn, fífi ọ̀rọ̀-kẹ́lẹ́-ba-tẹni-jẹ́ àti ọ̀rọ̀ èérí kúrò ní ètè yín.
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Ẹ má ṣe purọ́ fún ara yín, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ẹ ti bọ́ ògbólógbòó ara yín pẹ̀lú ìṣe rẹ̀ sílẹ̀,
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
tí ẹ sì ti gbé ìgbé ayé tuntun wọ̀, èyí tí a sọ di tuntun nínú ìmọ̀ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú àwòrán ẹni tí ó dá a.
11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Messiah is all, and in all.
Níbi tí kò gbé sí Giriki tàbí Júù, ìkọlà tàbí aláìkọlà, aláìgbédè, ara Skitia, ẹrú tàbí òmìnira, ṣùgbọ́n Kristi ni ohun gbogbo nínú ohun gbogbo.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Nítorí náà, bí àyànfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, ẹni mímọ́ àti olùfẹ́, ẹ gbé ọkàn ìyọ́nú wọ̀, ìṣoore, ìrẹ̀lẹ̀, inú tútù àti sùúrù.
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Messiah forgave you, so you also do.
Ẹ máa fi ara dà á fún ara yín, ẹ sì máa dáríjì ara yín bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ní ẹ̀sùn sí ẹnìkan: bí Kristi ti dáríjì yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin kí ó máa ṣe pẹ̀lú.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Àti borí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ẹ gbé ìfẹ́ wọ̀, tí í ṣe àmùrè ìwà pípé.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Ẹ sì jẹ́ kí àlàáfíà Ọlọ́run kí ó máa ṣe àkóso ọkàn yín, sínú èyí tí a pè yín pẹ̀lú nínú ara kan; kí ẹ sì máa dúpẹ́.
16 Let the word of Messiah 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.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ Kristi máa gbé inú yín ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú ọgbọ́n gbogbo; kí ẹ máa kọ́ ọ, kí ẹ sì máa gba ara yín níyànjú nínú Saamu, àti orin ìyìn, àti orin ẹ̀mí, ẹ máa kọrin sí Ọlọ́run ní ọkàn ọpẹ́.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin bá sì ń ṣe ní ọ̀rọ̀ tàbí ní ìṣe, ẹ máa ṣe gbogbo wọn ní orúkọ Jesu Olúwa, ẹ máa fi ọpẹ́ fún Ọlọ́run Baba nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Ẹ̀yin aya, ẹ máa tẹríba fún àwọn ọkọ yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti yẹ nínú Olúwa.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
Ẹ̀yin ọkọ, ẹ máa fẹ́ràn àwọn aya yín, ẹ má sì ṣe korò sí wọn.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ ẹ máa gbọ́ ti àwọn òbí yín ní ohun gbogbo, nítorí èyí dára gidigidi nínú Olúwa.
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
Ẹ̀yin baba, ẹ má ṣe mú àwọn ọmọ yín bínú, kí wọn má bà á rẹ̀wẹ̀sì.
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.
Ẹ̀yin ẹrú, ẹ gbọ́ ti àwọn olówó yín nípa ti ara ní ohun gbogbo; kì í ṣe ní àrọ́júṣe, bí àwọn aláṣehàn ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n ní òtítọ́ inú, ní ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin bá ń ṣe, ẹ máa fi tọkàntọkàn ṣe é fún Olúwa, kí í ṣe fún ènìyàn;
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Messiah.
kí ẹ mọ̀ pé lọ́wọ́ Olúwa ni ẹ̀yin ó gba èrè, nítorí ẹ̀yin ń sìn Olúwa Kristi.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ṣe àìṣòdodo, yóò gbà á padà nítorí àìṣòdodo náà tí ó ti ṣe: kò sì ṣí ojúsàájú.
