Galatians 5
1 STAND fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made you free, and be not again held under a yoke of bondage.
Ahofadie enti na Kristo ama yɛade yɛn ho no. Monnyina pintinn. Mommma ho ɛkwan mma wɔmmfa mo nnyɛ nkoa bio.
2 Behold, I Paul declare to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will be of no advantage to you.
Montie! Me Paulo, meka mekyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ moma ho ɛkwan ma wɔtwa mo twetia a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Kristo ho amma mfasoɔ biara amma mo koraa.
3 And again, I testify to every man who is circumcised, that he is under an obligation to keep the whole law.
Mebɔ mo kɔkɔ bio sɛ obiara a ɔbɛma ho ɛkwan ama wɔatwa no twetia no, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi Mmara no nyinaa so.
4 Ye have vacated all expectations from Christ, as many of you as are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Mo a mopɛ sɛ wɔde Mmara no bu mo bem no ate mo ho afiri Kristo ho. Adom no nni mo so bio.
5 For we in spirit by faith expect the hope of righteousness.
Nanso yɛfiri gyidie mu nam Honhom no so twɛne tenenee a yɛn ani da soɔ no.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith exerting its energy by love.
Kristo Yesu mu no, twetiatwa ne momonotoyɛ ho nni mfasoɔ. Deɛ ɛho hia ne gyidie a ɛnam ɔdɔ so da ne ho adi.
7 Ye were running well: who hath hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?
Na anka moresi mmirikakan no yie! Na hwan na ɔtwintwanee mo anan mu ma mogyaee nokorɛ no tie?
8 This persuasion cometh not from him who called you.
Saa nnaadaa no mfiri deɛ ɔfrɛ mo no.
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.
“Mmɔka kakra bi na ɛma mmɔre no nyinaa tu.”
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear condign punishment whosoever he be.
Mewɔ anidasoɔ wɔ Awurade mu sɛ morennwene adwene foforɔ bi. Onipa ko a ɔde sakasakayɛ reba mo mu no, wɔbɛtua ne so ka.
11 But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then indeed the offence of the cross is at an end.
Anuanom, sɛ megu so ka twetiatwa ho asɛm a, adɛn enti na wɔda so taa me? Na sɛ ɛno na ɛyɛ nokorɛ a, anka mʼasɛm a meka fa Kristo asɛnnua ho no renkɔfa ɔhaw mma. Ɛnneɛ na anka asɛnnua no ho suntidua biara nni hɔ bio.
12 I wish that they who trouble you were cut off from you.
Sɛ ɛkaa me nko a, anka wɔn a wɔha mo no atwa wɔn ho atwitwa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
13 For ye have been called unto liberty, brethren; only use not that liberty as a pretext for carnality, but in love be subject one to another.
Me nuanom, mo deɛ, wɔfrɛɛ mo sɛ mommɛde mo ho. Nanso, mommma saa ahofadie yi mmɔ ɛkwan mma bɔne; mmom, momfa ɔdɔ nsom mo ho mo ho.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Mmara no nyinaa tiawatwa ne sɛ, “Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.”
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed by one another.
Na sɛ mokeka na momemene mo ho mo ho a, ɛnneɛ monhwɛ yie na moansɛe mo ho mo ho.
16 But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Na mese, montena ase wɔ Honhom mu, na moremma honam akɔnnɔ ho kwan.
17 For the flesh hath appetites contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these act in opposition the one to the other: so that ye do not the things which ye would.
Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ honam pɛ no tia deɛ Honhom no pɛ; saa ara nso na deɛ Honhom no pɛ no, honam no tia. Ne mmienu no bɔ abira, enti ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ deɛ mopɛ.
18 But if ye are under the conduct of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Sɛ mo nante Honhom mu a, na monnhyɛ Mmara ase.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness,
Dwuma a bɔnesu di no da adi pefee. Yeinom ne adwamammɔ, efi, ahohwie,
20 idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies,
abosonsom, adutoɔ, ɔtan, akayɛ, ahoɔyea, abufuo, apereapereɛ, kunsunkunsun, mpaapaemu,
21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
nitan, nsãborɔ, agobɔne, ne nneɛma a ɛtete saa. Mebɔ mo kɔkɔ sɛdeɛ mabɔ mo bi dada no sɛ, wɔn a wɔtena ase saa no renkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
Na Honhom no aba ne ɔdɔ, anigyeɛ, asomdwoeɛ, abodwokyɛreɛ, ayamyɛ, papayɛ, gyidie,
23 meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.
ɔdwoɔ ne ahohyɛsoɔ. Mmara biara nni hɔ a ɛtia yeinom.
24 But they who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites.
Na wɔn a wɔyɛ Kristo dea no abɔ wɔn nipasu no ne honam akɔnnɔ asɛnnua mu.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Sɛ yɛte Honhom mu yi, momma yɛnnante Honhom mu.
26 Let us not be vain-glorious, irritating one another, envying one another.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛhoahoa yɛn ho, yiyi yɛn ho yɛn ho abufuo, anaa yɛma yɛn ani bere yɛn ho yɛn ho.
