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.
Ahofadie enti na Kristo ama yɛade yɛn ho no. Monnyina pintinn. Mommma ho ɛkwan mma wɔmmfa mo nnyɛ nkoa bio.
2 Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
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 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do 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 Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; you 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 through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Nanso yɛfiri gyidie mu nam Honhom no so twɛne tenenee a yɛn ani da soɔ no.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works 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 You did run well; who did hinder you that you 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 comes not of him that calls you.
Saa nnaadaa no mfiri deɛ ɔfrɛ mo no.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
“Mmɔka kakra bi na ɛma mmɔre no nyinaa tu.”
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.
Mewɔ anidasoɔ wɔ Awurade mu sɛ morennwene adwene foforɔ bi. Onipa ko a ɔde sakasakayɛ reba mo mu no, wɔbɛtua ne so ka.
11 And I, brothers, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offense of the cross ceased.
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 would they were even cut off which trouble you.
Sɛ ɛkaa me nko a, anka wɔn a wɔha mo no atwa wɔn ho atwitwa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
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.
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 all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Mmara no nyinaa tiawatwa ne sɛ, “Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.”
15 But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another.
Na sɛ mokeka na momemene mo ho mo ho a, ɛnneɛ monhwɛ yie na moansɛe mo ho mo ho.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Na mese, montena ase wɔ Honhom mu, na moremma honam akɔnnɔ ho kwan.
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.
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 you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Sɛ mo nante Honhom mu a, na monnhyɛ Mmara ase.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Dwuma a bɔnesu di no da adi pefee. Yeinom ne adwamammɔ, efi, ahohwie,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
abosonsom, adutoɔ, ɔtan, akayɛ, ahoɔyea, abufuo, apereapereɛ, kunsunkunsun, mpaapaemu,
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.
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, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
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 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Na wɔn a wɔyɛ Kristo dea no abɔ wɔn nipasu no ne honam akɔnnɔ asɛnnua mu.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Sɛ yɛte Honhom mu yi, momma yɛnnante Honhom mu.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking 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.
