Galatians 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Kristũ nĩgũtuohora aatuohorire nĩguo tũgĩe na wĩyathi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩhaandei wega na mũtigetĩkĩre kuohwo icooki rĩa ũkombo rĩngĩ.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if all of you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Ta thikĩrĩriai ciugo ciakwa! Niĩ Paũlũ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũngĩtĩkĩra kũrua-rĩ, Kristũ ndangĩgĩa bata na inyuĩ o na hanini.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Ningĩ nĩngũmwĩra o rĩngĩ atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtĩkĩra kũrua, ũcio amenye atĩ nĩagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwathĩkĩra watho ũrĩ wothe.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; all of you are fallen from grace.
Inyuĩ arĩa mũrageria gũtuĩka athingu nĩ ũndũ wa watho-rĩ, nĩmũtigithanĩtio na Kristũ; inyuĩ nĩmũgwĩte mũgatigana na wega wa Ngai.
5 For we through the Spirit (pneuma) wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
No ithuĩ-rĩ, tũkoragwo twĩhokete atĩ nĩtũgatuuo athingu. Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo tũkoragwo twĩrĩgĩrĩire tũrĩ na wĩtĩkio, tũhotithĩtio nĩ Roho.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love. (agape)
Nĩgũkorwo thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, kũrua kana kwaga kũrua gũtirĩ bata. Ũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ bata nĩ wĩtĩkio ũrĩa ũrutaga wĩra na njĩra ya wendani.
7 All of you did run well; who did hinder you that all of you should not obey the truth?
Nĩmũratengʼagĩra ihenya rĩega. Nũũ wamũgiririe mũgĩtiga gũcooka gwathĩkĩra ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma?
8 This persuasion comes not of him that calls you.
Kũringĩrĩrio kwa mũthemba ũcio gũtiumĩte kũrĩ ũrĩa wamwĩtire.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
“Ndawa nini tu ya kũimbia mĩgate nĩĩtũmaga mũtu ũrĩa mũkande nayo wothe ũimbe.”
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that all of you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
Nĩndĩhokete thĩinĩ wa Mwathani atĩ inyuĩ mũtikũgarũrũka mũgĩe na meciiria mangĩ. Ũrĩa ũramũtururia nĩwe ũkaaherithio o na angĩkorwo arĩ ũ.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, angĩkorwo no ndĩrahunjia ũhoro wa kũrua-rĩ, ndĩrakĩnyariirwo nĩkĩ? Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo-rĩ, ũndũ ũrĩa ũtũmaga andũ mahĩngwo, na nĩguo ũhoro wa mũtharaba-rĩ, nĩmweherie.
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
No nyende andũ acio mamũthĩĩnagia mathiĩ na mbere o nginya mehakũre.
13 For, brethren, all of you have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love (agape) serve one another.
Inyuĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mwetirwo nĩguo mũgĩe na wĩyathi. No rĩrĩ, mũtikahũthĩre wĩyathi wanyu kũrũmagĩrĩra merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, no handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, tungatanagĩrai inyuĩ-ene mũrĩ na wendani.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, (logos) even in this; You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
Tondũ-rĩ, ũhoro wothe wa watho ũhingagio nĩ rĩathani rĩĩrĩ rĩmwe: “Enda mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩendete wee mwene.”
15 But if all of you bite and devour one another, take heed that all of you be not consumed one of another.
No rĩrĩ, mũngĩrũmana mũkĩrĩĩanaga-rĩ, mwĩmenyererei mũtikaniinane inyuĩ ene.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, (pneuma) and all of you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nguuga atĩrĩ, thiiagai mũtongoretio nĩ Roho, na mũtirĩhingagia merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, (pneuma) and the Spirit (pneuma) against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that all of you cannot do the things that all of you would.
Nĩgũkorwo mwĩrĩ nĩwĩriragĩria maũndũ marĩa matangĩendwo nĩ Roho, nake Roho nĩareganaga na maũndũ marĩa meriragĩrio nĩ mwĩrĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Roho na mwĩrĩ itũũraga irũaga, na nĩkĩo mũtahotaga gwĩka ũrĩa mwendaga gwĩka.
18 But if all of you be led of the Spirit, (pneuma) all of you are not under the law.
No rĩrĩ, mũngĩtongorio nĩ Roho, inyuĩ mũtingĩkorwo mũgĩathwo nĩ watho.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Na rĩrĩ, maũndũ marĩa mekagwo nĩ mwĩrĩ nĩmoĩo, namo nĩ: ũmaraya, na meciiria mooru, na ũmaramari,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, worldy jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
na kũhooya mĩhianano, na kũrogana, na ũthũ, na kũũgitana, na ũiru, na mangʼũrĩ, na kwĩyenda, na nyamũkano, na ngarari,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, 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.
gũcumĩkĩra na kũrĩĩo nĩ njoohi, na maruga marĩa mainagwo nyĩmbo iria itaagĩrĩire, o na maũndũ mangĩ ta macio. Nĩndamũkaanirie, o ta ũrĩa ndamũkaanirie hĩndĩ ya mbere, atĩ andũ arĩa mekaga maũndũ ta macio matikagaya ũthamaki wa Ngai.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit (pneuma) is love, (agape) joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
No rĩrĩ, maciaro ma Roho nĩ wendani, na gĩkeno, na thayũ, na gũkirĩrĩria, na kũiguanĩra tha, na gũtugana, na kwĩhokeka,
23 Meekness, wilful restrain: against such there is no law.
na ũhooreri, na kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ. Macio-rĩ, gũtirĩ watho wa kũgiria mekagwo.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Nao andũ arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩmambithĩtie mĩĩrĩ yao mũtĩ-igũrũ hamwe na thuti ciayo na merirĩria mayo.
25 If we live in the Spirit, (pneuma) let us also walk in the Spirit. (pneuma)
Angĩkorwo tũtũire muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa Roho-rĩ, kĩrekei tũtongoragio nĩ Roho.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Rekei tũtige gwĩtĩĩa, na kũũgitana, o na kũiguanagĩra ũiru.
