Galatians 5
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.
Jalo he, Keresete o re golotse. Jaanong tlhomamisang gore lo nne lo golotswe mme lo seka lwa golegelwa lotlhe gape mo dikeetaneng tsa botlhanka tsa melao le mediro ya Sejuta.
2 Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
Ntheetsang ka tlhawaafalo, gonne se ga se dinyana: fa e le gore lo ikaegile mo go rupisiweng ebile lo tshegetsa melao ya Sejuta go lo siamisa mo Modimong, jalo Keresete ga a kake a lo boloka.
3 Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
Ke ipoeletsa gape ka re: le fa e le mang yo o lekang go nna botsalano le Modimo ka go rupisiwa o tshwanetse go obamela molao mongwe le mongwe wa Sejuta malatsi otlhe e seng jalo a nyelele.
4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Keresete ga a na thuso epe mo go lona fa lo ganelela mo go phimoleng molato wa lona kwa Modimong ka go tshegetsa melao eo: lo latlhegile mo tshegofatsong ya Modimo.
5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness.
Mme rona ka thuso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo re ikaegile mo losong lwa ga Keresete go phimola dibe tsa rona le go re siamisa mo Modimong.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.
Le gone rona ba Keresete a re neetseng botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ga go tlhokege gore re tshwenyege ka gore a re rupisitswe kgotsa nnyaa; kgotsa gore a re obamela mediro ya Sejuta kgotsa nnyaa; gonne gotlhe mo re go tlhokang ke tumelo e e dirang ka lorato.
7 You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth?
Lo ne lo direla Modimo sentle thata. Yo o lo kgoreleditseng a lo busetsa kwa morago mo go saleng boammaaruri morago ke mang?
8 Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you.
Tota ga se Modimo o o dirileng jalo, gonne ke one o o lo bileditseng mo kgololesegong mo go Keresete.
9 A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough.
Mme motho a le mongwe fela yo o sa siamang mo gare ga lona o siamolola ba bangwe botlhe.
10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
Ke ikanya Morena go lo busetsa mo go dumeleng jaaka ke dumela kaga dilo tse. Modimo o tlaa atlhola mosiamolodi yoo, le fa e ka ne e le mang, yo o ntseng a lo tshwenya ebile a lo tlhakatlhakanya ditlhogo.
11 Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
Batho bangwe ba re Nna tota ke rera gore thupiso le melao ya Sejuta di tlhokega mo leanong la poloko. Jalo he, fa e le gore ke rerile jalo, ke ka bo ke sa tlhole ke bogisiwa, gonne molaetsa oo ga o kgopise ope. Lebaka le ke santseng ke bogisiwa ka lone, le supa gore ke santse ke rera poloko ka tumelo mo mokgorong wa ga Keresete a le nosi.
12 As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves!
Ke eletsa fela gore baruti ba, ba ba batlang gore lo ikgaole ka go rupisiwa ba ikgaole mo go lona ba lo tlogele!
13 For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.
Gonne bakaulengwe, lo neetswe kgololesego: e seng kgololesego ya go dira bosula, mme e leng kgololesego ya go ratana le go direlana.
14 The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Gonne Molao otlhe o ka khutshwafalediwa mo taolong e e reng: “Rata ba bangwe jaaka o ithata.”
15 But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.
Mme fa mo boemong jwa gore lo supe kgolagano ya lorato mo go lona, malatsi otlhe lo buana bosula lo rumolana, itlhokomeleng! Itiseng mo go koafatsaneng.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Ke lo gakolola gore lo obamele ditaolo tsa Mowa O O Boitshepo fela. O tlaa lo bolelela gore lo ye kae le gore lo dire eng; jalo ga lo na go dira dilo tse di sa siamang malatsi otlhe tse tlholego ya lona e e bosula e batlang lo di dira.
17 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
Gonne ka tlholego re rata go dira dilo tse di bosula tse e leng gore ke dilo di sele fela mo dilong tse Mowa O O Boitshepo o re bolelelang gore re di dire; mme dilo tse di molemo tse re batlang go di dira fa Mowa O O Boitshepo o re kaela tsela ke dilo di sele mo dithatong tsa rona tsa tlholego. Dinonofo tse pedi tse, tse di mo go rona, di tsweletse ka go lwela go re laola, mme dikeletso tsa rona ga di a gololesega mo dikgatelelong tsa tsone.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Mme fa lo gogwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo ga go sa tlhole go tlhokega gore lo ipateletse go obamela melao ya Sejuta.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;
Mme fa lo sala morago dithato tsa lona tse di bosula, matshelo a lona a tlaa ungwa maungo a a bosula a: megopolo e e leswe le keletso ya dithato tsa senama,
20 idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions,
go rapela medimo ya disetwa, mewa e e maswe (ke gore go kgothatsa tiriso ya badimo), kilo le go lwa, lefufa le kgakalo, go ikgagapela, dingongorego le go buana bosula, maikutlo a gore mongwe le mongwe o phoso fa e se ba ba mo setlhopheng sa gago fela, gape go tlaa nna thuto e e seng ya boammaaruri,
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
bopelotshetlha, go bolaya, botagwa, botlhapelwa le gotlhe fela moo. Mmang ke lo bolelele gape jaaka pele, gore le fa e le mang yo o tshelang botshelo jo bo ntseng jalo ga a kitla a rua bogosi jwa Modimo.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Mme fa Mowa O O Boitshepo o laola matshelo a rona o tlaa ungwa loungo lwa mofuta o mo go rona: lorato, boitumelo, kagiso, bopelotelele, bopelonomi, bomolemo, boikanyego,
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
tshiamo le boitshwaro; mme fa ga gona kgogakgogano le melao ya Sejuta.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Ba e leng ba ga Keresete ba kokotetse dithato tse di bosula tsa bone tsa tlholego mo mokgorong wa gagwe ba di bapola gone foo.
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit.
Fa e le gore jaanong re tshela ka nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo, a re gogweng ke Mowa O O Boitshepo mo tokololong nngwe le nngwe ya matshelo a rona.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.
Mme ga re na go tlhokana le go ipatlela tlotlo le go itsege mo go gogelang kwa lefufeng le mo go tsholaneng ka dipelo.
