Galatians 5
1 Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
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 ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Ngai Polo, nazali koloba na bino ete soki bokatisi ngenga, Klisto akozala lisusu na tina te epai na bino.
3 And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
Nazali koyebisa lisusu na moto nyonso oyo akatisi ye moko ngenga ete asengeli kotosa makambo nyonso oyo Mobeko etindaka.
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.
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 we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
Kasi biso, na lisungi ya Molimo, tozali kozela na elikya kokoma sembo na nzela ya kondima.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
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 Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
Bozalaki kopota mbangu malamu! Bongo nani apengwisi bino mpo ete botika kotosa bosolo?
8 The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
Likanisi ya boye ewuti te epai ya Ye oyo abengaki bino.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Mwa levire moke evimbisaka potopoto nyonso ya mapa.
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.
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 But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
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 I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
Boye tika ete bato oyo bazali kotia mobulu kati na bino bamilongola ata banzoto ya mibali!
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.
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 whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
Pamba te Mobeko nyonso ekokisami kati na liloba kaka moko: « Linga moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka. »
15 but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
Soki bozali kotukana mpe kozokisana, bosala keba ete bobomana te bino na bino.
16 But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
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 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;
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 ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
Kasi soki Molimo atambolisi bino, bokozala na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
Tala misala ya bomoto: kindumba, misala ya bosoto, pite,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
kosambela bikeko, kindoki, koyinana, koswana, zuwa, kanda, bombanda, bokabwani, koboyana,
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.
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 love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
Kasi mbuma ya Molimo ezali: bolingo, esengo, kimia, kokanga motema, bondeko, kosala bolamu, kondima,
23 meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
boboto mpe komikanga. Mibeko epekisaka te makambo ya lolenge oyo.
24 But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
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, let us walk also by the Spirit.
Lokola tozali kobika bomoi na biso na nzela ya Molimo, totambola mpe na lisungi ya Molimo.
26 Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
Tozala bato ya lolendo te, totumbolana te mpe toyokelana zuwa te.
