Colossians 3

Nou menm ki deja leve soti vivan ansanm ak Kris la nan lanmò, se pou nou chache bagay ki anwo nan syèl la kote Kris la chita sou bò dwat Bondye.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Pa kite bagay ki sou latè pran tèt nou, mete lide nou sou bagay ki anwo nan syèl la.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Konnen sa byen: nou mouri deja, lavi nou kache ansanm ak Kris la nan Bondye.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Se Kris la ki lavi nou tout bon. Lè la parèt, nou menm tou n'a parèt ansanm avè l' nan tout bèl pouvwa li.

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Se poutèt sa, se pou nou detwi nan nou tou sa ki soti nan lemonn tankou: imoralite, malpwòpte, move dezi, move lanvi, renmen lajan (ki menm jan ak sèvi zidòl).

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Se tout bagay sa yo ki fè kòlè Bondye tonbe sou moun ki derefize obeyi li.

For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Se konsa nou t'ap viv nan tan lontan lè nou te anba pouvwa peche sa yo.

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

Men koulye a, pa fè kòlè, pa fè move san ni okenn mechanste. Se pou nou voye tout bagay sa yo jete. Pa kite okenn jouman ni okenn gwomo soti nan bouch nou.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Pa bay frè nou yo manti. Paske, nou voye vye moun nou te ye a jete ansanm ak tout vye mès li yo.

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

Koulye a, nou tounen yon lòt kalite moun, n'ap chanje jouk n'a rive sanble ak Bondye ki kreye nou an pou n' te ka konnen l' nèt.

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Se sak fè, pa gen moun ki jwif ak moun ki pa jwif ankò, pa gen moun ki sikonsi ak moun ki pa sikonsi ankò, pa gen moun ki etranje, ni moun ki bèt, pa gen moun ki esklav ak moun ki pa esklav. Se Kris la ki tout, se li ki nan nou tout.

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Nou tout nou fè pati pèp Bondye a: se li menm ki te renmen nou, ki te chwazi nou pou n' ka viv pou li. Se poutèt sa, se pou nou gen kè sansib anpil, pou n' aji byen yonn ak lòt, san lògèy, avèk anpil dousè, anpil pasyans.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Se pou nou yonn sipòte lòt, pou nou yonn padonnen lòt si nou gen kont yonn ak lòt. Wi, se pou yonn padonnen lòt, menm jan Kris la te padonnen nou.

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Men, anvan tout bagay, se pou nou gen renmen ki tankou yon kòd k'ap mare nou ansanm yonn ak lòt.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Se pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt, jan Kris la vle l' la. Paske, Bondye rele nou pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt pou nou ka fè yon sèl kò. Toujou chonje sa li fè pou nou.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Kenbe pawòl Kris la ak tout richès li yo byen fèm nan kè nou. Se pou nou yonn aprann nan men lòt, se pou nou yonn bay lòt konsèy avèk anpil bon konprann. Se pou nou chante sòm, kantik ak tout lòt chante Lespri Bondye a va moutre nou, pou di Bondye mèsi ak tout kè nou.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Tou sa n'ap fè, tou sa n'ap di, fè l' nan non Seyè Jezi a, san nou pa janm bliye di Bondye mèsi nan li.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Nou menm medam, soumèt devan mari nou paske se konsa pou moun ki kwè nan Seyè a aji.

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Nou menm mari, renmen madanm nou. Pa fè move jan ak yo.

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Nou menm timoun, se devwa nou pou nou obeyi manman nou ak papa nou nan tout bagay. Se sa ki fè Bondye plezi.

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

Nou menm papa ak manman, pa rele sou timoun yo twòp pou sa pa dekouraje yo.

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

Nou menm domestik, obeyi mèt nou gen sou latè a nan tout bagay. Se pa sèlman lè nou anba je yo pou nou obeyi yo, tankou moun k'ap fè lèzòm plezi. Men, se pou n' obeyi yo ak tout kè nou, akòz respè nou gen pou Seyè a.

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

Nenpòt travay yo ban nou fè, fè l' ak tout kè nou tankou si se pa pou lèzòm nou t'ap travay, men pou Seyè a.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Chonje byen: Seyè a gen pou ban nou rekonpans nou: l'ap ban nou eritaj li sere pou moun pa l' yo. Paske, mèt n'ap sèvi tout bon an se Kris la.

Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Men, moun ki fè sa ki mal va resevwa sa ki pou li dapre mal li te fè a. Paske, Bondye pa gade sou figi moun.

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
