Galatians 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Kraịst emeela ka anyị pụọ nʼohu, nʼihi anyị inwere onwe anyị. Ya mere, gbalịanụ ịhụ na unu e nyeghị onwe unu nʼọnọdụ ohu ọzọ.
2 Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Geenụ m ntị, mụ onwe m bụ Pọl na-agwa unu nke a. Ọ bụrụ na unu anabata obibi ugwu, Kraịst agaghị abara unu uru ọbụla.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Ka m kwuokwa ya ọzọ, onye ọbụla kweere ka e bie ya ugwu ji ụgwọ idebezu iwu niile ahụ.
4 Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.
E kewapụla unu nʼebe Kraịst nọ, unu ndị a ga-agụnye na ndị ezi omume site nʼiwu. Unu adapụla nʼamara ya.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Nʼihi na anyị onwe anyị nwere olileanya na site nʼike nke Mmụọ Nsọ, a ga-agụ anyị na ndị ezi omume site nʼokwukwe anyị.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love.
Nʼihi nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, obibi ugwu maọbụ ebighị ugwu abaghị uru. Ihe dị mkpa bụ okwukwe nke na-egosi onwe ya site nʼịhụnanya.
7 You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?
Unu na-agbabu ọsọ nke ọma, onye gbochiri unu ikwenyere eziokwu ahụ?
8 This persuasion comes not of him that calls you.
Ụdị nkwagide ahụ esiteghị nʼebe Onye ahụ kpọrọ unu bịa.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Nwantịntị ihe na-eko achịcha na-eme ka ogbe ụtụ ọka a gwọrọ agwọ koo.
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he be.
Enwere m ntụkwasị obi nʼime Onyenwe anyị na unu agaghị eche echiche nʼụdị a ọzọ, ma ikpe ọmụma ga-adịrị onye ọbụla na-eduhie unu ọzọ.
11 And I, brothers, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offense of the cross ceased.
Ụmụnna m, ọ bụrụ nʼezie na m na-ekwusa mkpa obibi ugwu dị, gịnị mere e ji nọgide na-akpagbu m? Ọ bụrụ na m mee otu ahụ, ewepụla m ihe ọdachi ahụ dị nʼobe.
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma ọ bụrụ na ndị ahụ na-esogbu unu ga-eme onwe ha ndị onozi.
13 For, brothers, you have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Nʼihi na e meela ka unu nwere onwe unu, ụmụnna m, ma unu ekwela ka mnwere onwe unu bụrụ ohere nye anụ ahụ unu, kama werenụ ịhụnanya na-agbara ibe unu odibo.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na a chịkọta iwu niile nʼotu, ihe iwu niile na-ekwu bụ nke a, “Na-ahụnụ ndị ọzọ nʼanya dịka unu si hụ onwe unu nʼanya.”
15 But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another.
Ọ bụrụ na unu na-akọcha ibe unu, na-eji ọnụ unu na-ekwutọ ha, kpacharanụ anya ka unu hapụ ịla onwe unu nʼiyi.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Ana m agwa unu nke a: na-adịnụ ndụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-achị, unu anọkwala nʼọchịchọ nke anụ ahụ.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
Nʼihi na ihe anụ ahụ chọrọ dị iche nʼihe Mmụọ Nsọ chọrọ. Ihe Mmụọ Nsọ chọrọ dịkwa iche nʼihe anụ ahụ chọrọ. Ịgba mgba dị nʼetiti ha na-eme ka ị hapụ inwe ike mee ihe ị chọrọ ime.
18 But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Ma ọ bụrụ na Mmụọ Nsọ na-edu unu, unu anọkwaghị nʼokpuru iwu.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Ugbu a, ọrụ nke anụ ahụ pụtara ihe: ịkwa iko, adịghị ọcha na agụụ ịkwa iko.
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Ikpere arụsị, iri amụsụ, ibu iro nʼobi, na ịlụ ọgụ, ekworo na iwe, ịkpa iche iche, nkewa, ịhọ otu.
21 Contentions, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ịkpọ asị, igbu ọchụ, ịṅụbiga mmanya oke, oke oriri na ihe ndị ọzọ yiri ha. Ana m adọ unu aka na ntị dịka m gwara unu nʼoge gara aga, ndị na-eme ihe dị otu a agaghị abanye nʼalaeze Chineke.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Ma mkpụrụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ bụ, ndụ ịhụnanya, na ọṅụ, na udo, na ogologo ntachiobi, na obiọma, na ịdị mma, na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
ịdị nwayọọ, na ijide onwe. Ọ dịkwaghị iwu na-emegide ihe ndị a.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Ma ndị niile bụ ndị Kraịst Jisọs akpọgidela anụ ahụ ha, ya na ọchịchọ ha nʼelu obe.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Ọ bụrụ na anyị na-ebi ndụ mmụọ, ka nzọ ụkwụ anyị bụrụ nke mmụọ na-eduzi.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Ka anyị ghara ịbụ ndị mpako si otu a na-akpali iwe na ekworo nʼetiti anyị.
