Galatians 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and be not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage.
Ahofadi nti na Kristo ama yɛade yɛn ho no. Munnyina pintinn. Mommma ho kwan mma wɔmmfa mo nyɛ nkoa bio.
2 Beholde, I Paul say vnto you, that if yee be circumcised, Christ shall profite 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 For I testifie againe to euery man, which is circumcised, that he is bound to keepe the whole Lawe.
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 abolished from Christ: whosoeuer are iustified by the Law, ye are 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 through the Spirit waite for the hope of righteousnes through faith.
Nanso yefi gyidi mu nam Honhom no so twɛn trenee a yɛn ani da so no.
6 For in Iesus Christ neither circumcision auaileth any thing, neither vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue.
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 did runne well: who did let you, that ye did not obey the trueth?
Na anka moresi mmirikakan no yiye! Na hena na otwintwan mo anan mu ma mugyaee nokware no tie?
8 It is not the perswasion of him that calleth you.
Saa nnaadaa no mfi nea ɔfrɛ mo no.
9 A litle leauen doeth leauen the whole lumpe.
“Mmɔkaw kakraa bi na ɛma mmɔre no nyinaa tu.”
10 I haue trust in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but hee that troubleth you, shall beare his condemnation, whosoeuer he 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 And brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why doe I yet suffer persecution? Then is the slaunder of the crosse abolished.
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 Would to God they were euen cut off, which doe disquiet you.
Sɛ ɛkaa me nko a anka wɔn a wɔhaw mo no atwa wɔn ho atwitwa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
13 For brethren, ye haue bene called vnto libertie: onely vse not your libertie as an occasion vnto the flesh, but by loue serue 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 all the Lawe is fulfilled in one worde, which is this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
Efisɛ Mmara no nyinaa tiaatwa ne sɛ, “Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.”
15 If ye bite and deuoure one another, take heede least ye be 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 Then I say, Walke in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lustes of the flesh.
Na mise montena ase wɔ Honhom mu, na moremma ɔhonam akɔnnɔ ho kwan.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary one to another, so that ye can not doe the same things that ye would.
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 And if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not vnder the Lawe.
Sɛ monantew Honhom mu a, na monnhyɛ Mmara ase.
19 Moreouer the workes of the flesh are manifest, which are adulterie, fornication, vncleannes, wantonnes,
Dwuma a bɔne su di no da adi pefee. Eyinom ne aguamammɔ, efi, ahohwi,
20 Idolatrie, witchcraft, hatred, debate, emulations, wrath, contentions, seditions, heresies,
abosonsom, aduto, ɔtan, akayɛ, ahoɔyaw, abufuw, aperepere, kunsunkunsun, mpaapaemu,
21 Enuie, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonie, and such like, whereof I tell you before, as I also haue tolde you before, that they which doe such things, shall not inherite the kingdome of God.
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 fruite of the Spirit is loue, ioye, peace, long suffering, gentlenes, goodnes, fayth,
Na Honhom no aba ne ɔdɔ, anigye, asomdwoe, abodwokyɛre, ayamye, papayɛ, gyidi,
23 Meekenesse, temperancie: against such there is no lawe.
odwo ne ahohyɛso. Mmara biara nni hɔ a etia eyinom.
24 For they that are Christes, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and the lustes.
Na wɔn a wɔyɛ Kristo de no abɔ wɔn nipasu no ne honam akɔnnɔ asennua mu.
25 If we liue in the Spirit, let vs also walke in the Spirit.
Sɛ yɛte Honhom mu yi, momma yɛnnantew Honhom mu.
26 Let vs not be desirous of vaine glorie, prouoking one another, enuying one another.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛhoahoa yɛn ho, yiyi yɛn ho yɛn ho abufuw, anaa yɛma yɛn ani bere yɛn ho yɛn ho.
