Galatians 5
1 Christ has set you free with freedom, Therefore stand, and be not again entangled with the 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 unto you, that, if you may be 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 again I witness 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 You have been divorced from Christ, whosoever are justified by law: you 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 through the Spirit do await the hope of righteousness through faith.
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 or uncircumcision avails anything; but faith working through divine 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 You were running well; who did hinder you that you 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 persuasion is not of the one calling 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 in reference to you in the Lord, that you shall be none otherwise minded: but the one troubling you shall bear the judgment, 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 do I still suffer persecution? then the offence of the cross would be 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 those troubling you shall indeed cut themselves off.
Kanta moun k'ap boulvèse nou konsa sou keksyon sikonsizyon an, yo ta mèt tou fè chatre yo fin ak sa.
13 For you were called unto liberty, brethren; only use not the liberty unto an occasion to the flesh, but through divine 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 has been fulfilled in one word, in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor with divine love 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 you bite and devour one another, take heed that you may not be 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 And I say, Walk about in the Spirit, and do not perfect the lust of carnality.
Se poutèt sa, men sa m'ap di nou: Kite Lespri Bondye dirije lavi nou. Pa obeyi egzijans kò a.
17 For carnality wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against carnality; for these are antagonistical to one another; so that you may not do the things which you may wish.
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 you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
Men, si se Lespri Bondye a k'ap dirije lavi nou, nou pa anba lalwa ankò.
19 But the works of carnality are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, debauchery,
Se fasil pou nou wè sa egzijans kò a fè moun fè: se imoralite, malpwòpte ak vis.
20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, divisions, heresies,
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, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
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 divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
Men, Lespri Bondye a bay renmen, kè kontan, kè poze, pasyans, bon kè, seriozite, li fè ou gen bon manyè.
23 meekness, holiness; 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 those belonging to Christ Jesus have crucified carnality with the passions and 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 in the Spirit, let us also walk in 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 be fond of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Pa kite lògèy moute nou nan tèt. Piga yonn chache lòt kont. Piga yonn rayi sò lòt.
