Galatians 5
1 Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.
Ezali mpo ete tozala bansomi nde Klisto akangolaki biso. Yango wana, botelema ngwi mpe bozonga lisusu na bowumbu te.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
Ngai Polo, nazali koloba na bino ete soki bokatisi ngenga, Klisto akozala lisusu na tina te epai na bino.
3 For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law.
Nazali koyebisa lisusu na moto nyonso oyo akatisi ye moko ngenga ete asengeli kotosa makambo nyonso oyo Mobeko etindaka.
4 You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace.
Bino oyo bolukaka kokoma sembo na nzela ya kotosa mibeko, bozali ya kokabwana na Klisto, bozali lisusu na se ya ngolu ya Nzambe te.
5 For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice.
Kasi biso, na lisungi ya Molimo, tozali kozela na elikya kokoma sembo na nzela ya kondima.
6 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.
Pamba te, kati na Yesu-Klisto, likambo ya tina ezali: kozala na kondima oyo esalaka na nzela ya bolingo; ezali te: kokatama ngenga to kokatama ngenga te.
7 You have run well. So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?
Bozalaki kopota mbangu malamu! Bongo nani apengwisi bino mpo ete botika kotosa bosolo?
8 This kind of influence is not from him who is calling you.
Likanisi ya boye ewuti te epai ya Ye oyo abengaki bino.
9 A little leaven corrupts the whole mass.
Mwa levire moke evimbisaka potopoto nyonso ya mapa.
10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will accept nothing of the kind. However, he who disturbs you shall bear the judgment, whomever he may be.
Ngai nandimisami mpo na bino kati na Nkolo ete bokotikala kozala na makanisi mosusu te; mpe ete moto oyo azali kotia mobulu kati na makanisi na bino akozwa etumbu, ezala ata nani.
11 And as for me, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still suffering persecution? For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.
Bandeko na ngai, soki nazalaki nanu koteya tina ya kokatisa ngenga, mpo na nini nanyokolama lisusu? Soki ezali bongo, mateya ya ekulusu elingaki lisusu kobetisa bato mabaku te.
12 And I wish that those who disturb you would be torn away.
Boye tika ete bato oyo bazali kotia mobulu kati na bino bamilongola ata banzoto ya mibali!
13 For you, brothers, have been called to liberty. Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead, serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.
Bandeko na ngai, Nzambe abenga bino mpo ete bozala bansomi. Kasi tika ete bonsomi yango ekoma te mpo na bino libaku malamu ya kotambola kolanda baposa ya nzoto. Nzokande, na nzela ya bolingo, bosunganaka bino na bino.
14 For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Pamba te Mobeko nyonso ekokisami kati na liloba kaka moko: « Linga moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka. »
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another!
Soki bozali kotukana mpe kozokisana, bosala keba ete bobomana te bino na bino.
16 So then, I say: Walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.
Boye, tala makambo oyo nazali koloba na bino: Botambola kolanda baposa ya Molimo, mpe bokokokisa te baposa ya bomoto na bino.
17 For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And since these are against one another, you may not do whatever you want.
Pamba te baposa ya bomoto ebundisaka baposa ya Molimo, mpe baposa ya Molimo ebundisaka baposa ya bomoto. Nyonso mibale ebundisanaka mpo ete bolonga te kosala makambo oyo bolingi kosala.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Kasi soki Molimo atambolisi bino, bokozala na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest; they are: fornication, lust, homosexuality, self-indulgence,
Tala misala ya bomoto: kindumba, misala ya bosoto, pite,
20 the serving of idols, drug use, hostility, contentiousness, jealousy, wrath, quarrels, dissensions, divisions,
kosambela bikeko, kindoki, koyinana, koswana, zuwa, kanda, bombanda, bokabwani, koboyana,
21 envy, murder, inebriation, carousing, and similar things. About these things, I continue to preach to you, as I have preached to you: that those who act in this way shall not obtain the kingdom of God.
likunya, milangwa, lokoso ya kolia, mpe makambo mosusu ya lolenge oyo. Nazali komiyebisela bino, ndenge nasalaki liboso: bato oyo basalaka makambo ya lolenge oyo bakokota te na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance,
Kasi mbuma ya Molimo ezali: bolingo, esengo, kimia, kokanga motema, bondeko, kosala bolamu, kondima,
23 meekness, faith, modesty, abstinence, chastity. There is no law against such things.
boboto mpe komikanga. Mibeko epekisaka te makambo ya lolenge oyo.
24 For those who are Christ’s have crucified their flesh, along with its vices and desires.
Bato oyo bazali kati na Yesu-Klisto babaka na ekulusu bomoto na bango elongo na baposa mpe bilulela na yango.
25 If we live by the Spirit, we should also walk by the Spirit.
Lokola tozali kobika bomoi na biso na nzela ya Molimo, totambola mpe na lisungi ya Molimo.
26 Let us not become desirous of empty glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Tozala bato ya lolendo te, totumbolana te mpe toyokelana zuwa te.
