Galatians 5
1 Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
Ahofadi nti na Kristo ama yɛade yɛn ho no. Munnyina pintinn. Mommma ho kwan mma wɔmmfa mo nyɛ nkoa bio.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Muntie! Me Paulo, meka kyerɛ mo se, sɛ moma ho kwan ma wotwa mo twetia a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Kristo so amma mfaso biara amma mo koraa.
3 And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
Mebɔ mo kɔkɔ bio sɛ obiara a ɔbɛma ho kwan ama wɔatwa no twetia no, na ɛsɛ sɛ odi mmara no nyinaa so.
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.
Mo a mopɛ sɛ wɔde mmara no bu mo bem no atew mo ho afi Kristo ho. Adom no nni mo so bio.
5 For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
Nanso yefi gyidi mu nam Honhom no so twɛn trenee a yɛn ani da so no.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
Kristo Yesu mu no, twetiatwa ne momonotoyɛ so nni mfaso. Nea ɛho hia ne gyidi a ɛnam ɔdɔ so da ne ho adi.
7 Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
Na anka moresi mmirikakan no yiye! Na hena na otwintwan mo anan mu ma mugyaee nokware no tie?
8 The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
Saa nnaadaa no mfi nea ɔfrɛ mo no.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
“Mmɔkaw kakraa bi na ɛma mmɔre no nyinaa tu.”
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.
Mewɔ anidaso wɔ Awurade mu sɛ morennwen adwene foforo bi. Onipa ko a ɔde sakasakayɛ reba mo mu no, wobetua ne so ka.
11 But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
Anuanom, sɛ migu so ka twetiatwa ho asɛm a, adɛn nti na wɔda so taa me? Na sɛ ɛno na ɛyɛ nokware a, anka mʼasɛm a meka fa Kristo asennua ho no renkɔfa ɔhaw mma. Ɛno de, na anka asennua no ho hintidua biara nni hɔ bio.
12 I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
Sɛ ɛkaa me nko a anka wɔn a wɔhaw mo no atwa wɔn ho atwitwa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
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.
Me nuanom, mo de, wɔfrɛɛ mo sɛ mommɛde mo ho. Nanso mommma saa ahofadi yi mmɔ ɔkwan mma bɔne; mmom momfa ɔdɔ nsom mo ho mo ho.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
Efisɛ Mmara no nyinaa tiaatwa ne sɛ, “Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.”
15 but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
Na sɛ mokeka na momemene mo ho mo ho a, ɛno de monhwɛ yiye na moansɛe mo ho mo ho.
16 But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
Na mise montena ase wɔ Honhom mu, na moremma ɔhonam akɔnnɔ ho kwan.
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;
Efisɛ nea ɔhonam pɛ no tia nea Honhom no pɛ; saa ara nso na nea Honhom no pɛ no, ɔhonam no tia. Nʼabien no bɔ abira, enti ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ nea mopɛ.
18 but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
Sɛ monantew Honhom mu a, na monnhyɛ Mmara ase.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
Dwuma a bɔne su di no da adi pefee. Eyinom ne aguamammɔ, efi, ahohwi,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
abosonsom, aduto, ɔtan, akayɛ, ahoɔyaw, abufuw, aperepere, kunsunkunsun, mpaapaemu,
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.
nitan, nsabow, agobɔne, ne nneɛma a ɛtete saa. Mebɔ mo kɔkɔ sɛnea mabɔ mo dedaw no se, wɔn a wɔtena ase saa no renkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahenni no mu.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
Na Honhom no aba ne ɔdɔ, anigye, asomdwoe, abodwokyɛre, ayamye, papayɛ, gyidi,
23 meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
odwo ne ahohyɛso. Mmara biara nni hɔ a etia eyinom.
24 But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
Na wɔn a wɔyɛ Kristo de no abɔ wɔn nipasu no ne honam akɔnnɔ asennua mu.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.
Sɛ yɛte Honhom mu yi, momma yɛnnantew Honhom mu.
26 Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛhoahoa yɛn ho, yiyi yɛn ho yɛn ho abufuw, anaa yɛma yɛn ani bere yɛn ho yɛn ho.
