Galatians 5
1 In the freedom, then, with which Christ made you free—stand, and do not be held fast again by a yoke of servitude.
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 are [to be] circumcised, Christ will 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 and I testify again to every man 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 you were voided from the Christ, you who are declared righteous in law; you fell away 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 by the Spirit, by faith, wait for a 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 avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through 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 were running well; who hindered you [so as] not to obey the truth?
Na anka moresi mmirikakan no yie! Na hwan na ɔtwintwanee mo anan mu ma mogyaee nokorɛ no tie?
8 The persuasion [is] not of Him who is calling 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 regard to you in the LORD that you will not be otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may 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 still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the Cross has been done away [with];
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 O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!
Sɛ ɛkaa me nko a, anka wɔn a wɔha mo no atwa wɔn ho atwitwa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
13 For you were called to freedom, brothers, only the freedom [is] not for an occasion to the flesh, but serve one another through the love,
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—in this: “You will love your neighbor as yourself”;
Ɛfiri sɛ, Mmara no nyinaa tiawatwa ne sɛ, “Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.”
15 and if you bite and devour one another, see that you may not be consumed by one another.
Na sɛ mokeka na momemene mo ho mo ho a, ɛnneɛ monhwɛ yie na moansɛe mo ho mo ho.
16 And I say, walk in the Spirit, and you may not fulfill the desire of the flesh;
Na mese, montena ase wɔ Honhom mu, na moremma honam akɔnnɔ ho kwan.
17 for the flesh desires contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed to one another, that the things that you may will—these you may not do;
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 and if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
Sɛ mo nante Honhom mu a, na monnhyɛ Mmara ase.
19 And the works of the flesh are also evident, which are: adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, licentiousness,
Dwuma a bɔnesu di no da adi pefee. Yeinom ne adwamammɔ, efi, ahohwie,
20 idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strife, jealousy, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,
abosonsom, adutoɔ, ɔtan, akayɛ, ahoɔyea, abufuo, apereapereɛ, kunsunkunsun, mpaapaemu,
21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things will 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 And the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
Na Honhom no aba ne ɔdɔ, anigyeɛ, asomdwoeɛ, abodwokyɛreɛ, ayamyɛ, papayɛ, gyidie,
23 meekness, [and] self-control. Against such there is no law;
ɔdwoɔ ne ahohyɛsoɔ. Mmara biara nni hɔ a ɛtia yeinom.
24 and those who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the affections and the desires;
Na wɔn a wɔyɛ Kristo dea no abɔ wɔn nipasu no ne honam akɔnnɔ asɛnnua mu.
25 if we may live in the Spirit, we may also walk in the Spirit;
Sɛ yɛte Honhom mu yi, momma yɛnnante Honhom mu.
26 let us not become vainglorious—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.
