Galatians 5
1 Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
Se pou n' te ka lib tout bon kifè Kris la te delivre nou. Se poutèt sa, ann rete fèm nan libète sa a. Veye kò nou pou n' pa tounen esklav ankò.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Tande byen. Men sa mwen menm Pòl m'ap di nou: Si nou kite yo sikonsi nou, sa vle di Kris la pa sèvi nou anyen.
3 And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
M'ap repete sa m' te di deja pou tout moun ki kite yo sikonsi yo: si yo fè sa, y'ap blije fè tou sa lalwa Moyiz la mande.
4 Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
Moun ki kwè Bondye ap fè yo gras paske yo fè sa lalwa a mande, yo vire do bay Kris la. Yo pèdi favè Bondye a.
5 For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
Pou nou menm, nou gen espwa Bondye va fè nou gras paske nou gen konfyans nan li. Se sa menm n'ap tann, gremesi pouvwa Lespri Bondye a k'ap travay nan nou.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
Paske, lè n'ap viv ansanm ak Kris la, kit nou sikonsi, kit nou pa sikonsi, sa pa fè anyen. Sa ki konsekan an se pou nou gen konfyans nan Bondye, yon konfyans k'ap fè nou viv ak renmen nan kè nou.
7 Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
Nou te konmanse byen pwòp. Ki moun ki rete nou sou kous nou, k'ap anpeche nou obeyi verite a?
8 The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
Bagay yo te di pou yo te ka pran tèt nou, se pa bagay ki soti nan Bondye k'ap rele nou an.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Pa bliye pawòl la: Se ti kal ledven ki fè tout pa t' la leve.
10 I have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.
Men, Seyè a fè m' gen konfyans nan nou, li ban m' lasirans nou p'ap fè lòt lide, n'ap dakò avè mwen. Men, kanta moun k'ap boulvèse nou an, li te mèt sa l' te ye, Bondye gen pou peni li.
11 But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
Pou mwen menm, frè m' yo, si m' t'ap mande pou moun sikonsi toujou, poukisa y'ap pèsekite m' jouk koulye a? Epitou, nan ka sa a, mesaj m'ap bay lè m'ap anonse Kris la ki mouri sou kwa a pa ta bay pesonn okazyon bite.
12 I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
Kanta moun k'ap boulvèse nou konsa sou keksyon sikonsizyon an, yo ta mèt tou fè chatre yo fin ak sa.
13 For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Kanta nou menm, frè m' yo, Bondye te rele nou pou n' te ka gen libète nou. Sèlman, pa pran libète a sèvi eskiz pou nou viv dapre egzijans lachè. Okontrè, se pou nou yonn sèvi lòt nan renmen nou yonn gen pou lòt.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
Paske tou sa lalwa mande nou, nou jwenn yo nan kòmandman sa a: Se pou ou renmen frè parèy ou, menm jan ou renmen tèt pa ou.
15 but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
Men, si yonn ap mòde lòt, yonn ap devore lòt tankou bèt sovaj, atansyon pou yonn pa touye lòt tou!
16 But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
Se poutèt sa, men sa m'ap di nou: Kite Lespri Bondye dirije lavi nou. Pa obeyi egzijans kò a.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;
Kò a gen egzijans ki pa dakò ak egzijans Lespri Bondye a. Konsa tou, Lespri Bondye a gen egzijans ki pa dakò ak egzijans kò a. Se de bagay ki pa mache ansanm menm. Se sak fè nou pa kapab fè sa nou vle.
18 but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
Men, si se Lespri Bondye a k'ap dirije lavi nou, nou pa anba lalwa ankò.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
Se fasil pou nou wè sa egzijans kò a fè moun fè: se imoralite, malpwòpte ak vis.
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
Se sèvi zidòl, se fè maji, se yonn fè lòt lènmi, se fè kont, fè jalouzi, fè kòlè, se yonn pa vle wè lòt, se fè ti pil gwo pil.
21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.
Yonn anvye sò lòt, yo tafyatè, yo saf konsa, ak yon bann lòt bagay ankò y'ap fè. Mwen deja di nou sa, epi m'ap repete l' ankò pou nou: moun ki fè tout bagay sa yo p'ap antre menm nan peyi kote Bondye wa a.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
Men, Lespri Bondye a bay renmen, kè kontan, kè poze, pasyans, bon kè, seriozite, li fè ou gen bon manyè.
23 meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
Li fè ou aji ak dousè, li fè ou konn kontwole kò ou. Lalwa Moyiz la pa kont okenn nan bagay sa yo.
24 But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
Moun ki moun Jezikri, yo fè kò a mouri ansanm ak tout egzijans li yo, ak tout lanvi li yo.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.
Se Lespri Bondye a ki ban nou lavi, se pou n' kite li dirije lavi nou nan tout bagay.
26 Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
Pa kite lògèy moute nou nan tèt. Piga yonn chache lòt kont. Piga yonn rayi sò lòt.
