Galatians 5
1 With her freedom, Christ hath made you, free. Stand fast, therefore, and do not, again, with a yoke of servitude, be held fast!
Na te Karaiti i wewete te here i a tatou: na reira kia u te tu, kei mau hoki ki roto ki te ioka pononga.
2 See! I, Paul, say unto you—if ye be getting circumcised, Christ will profit you, nothing.
Nana, tenei ahau, a Paora te mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kotia koutou, e kore koutou e whai pai i a te Karaiti.
3 Yea, I bear solemn witness again, unto every man getting circumcised, —that he is, a debtor, to do, the whole law.
He whakaatu tuarua tenei naku ki nga tangata katoa e kotia ana, kua mau ratou i te ture kia mahia katoatia.
4 Ye have been set aside from Christ, ye who, by law, are to be declared righteous, —out of his favour, ye have fallen;
Kua wehea atu koutou i a te Karaiti, e te hunga e whakatikaia ana e te ture, kua taka iho koutou i runga i te aroha noa.
5 For, we, in Spirit, by faith, for a hope of righteousness, are ardently waiting, —
Ko tatou hoki, na te Wairua ta tatou tatari ki te tika e tumanakohia atu nei, e ahu mai nei i te whakapono:
6 For, in Christ [Jesus], neither, circumcision, availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith, through love, energising.
I roto hoki i a Karaiti Ihu kahore o te kotinga wahi, kahore o te kotingakore; engari ko te whakapono e mahi ana i runga i te aroha.
7 Ye were running well: —who hath hindered you, that, by truth, ye are not to be persuaded?
I pai ta koutou oma; na wai koutou i whakaware, i kore ai koutou e rongo ki te pono?
8 The persuasion, [is] not of him that calleth you: —
Ehara tenei whakaaro i te mea na te kaikaranga i a koutou.
9 A little leaven, leaveneth, the whole lump.
He iti te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa.
10 I, am persuaded regarding you, in the Lord—that, for nothing else, ye will have any regard; but, he that is troubling you, shall bear the sentence, —whosoever he may be.
E whakapono ana ahau ki a koutou i roto i te Ariki, e kore e rere ke o koutou whakaaro: ko te kaiwhakararu ia i a koutou, ahakoa ko wai, mana ano tona whakawakanga e pikau.
11 I, however, brethren—if, circumcision, I yet proclaim, why am I yet persecuted? After all, the stumbling-block of the cross hath been set aside.
Me ahau ano, e oku teina, ki te mea he kauwhau tonu nei taku i te kotinga, he aha ahau ka whakatoia tonutia ai? penei kua kore to te ripeka tutukitanga waewae.
12 Oh! that they would even leave off in dismay, who are unsettling you!
Pai kau ki ahau me i motuhia atu te hunga e whakararu na i a koutou.
13 For, ye, on a footing of freedom, were called, brethren, —only, [turn] not your freedom into an occasion to the flesh, but, by means of your love, be serving one another;
Kua karangatia nei hoki koutou, e oku teina, ki te tikanga herekore; kaua ia ta koutou tikanga herekore e waiho hei whakaoho i te kikokiko, engari me mahi koutou tetahi ki tetahi i runga i te aroha.
14 For, the whole law, in one word, is summed up—[namely] in this, —Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.
E takoto topu ana hoki te ture katoa i roto i te kupu kotahi, ara, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.
15 If, however, one another, ye bite and devour, take heed lest, by one another, ye be consumed!
Ki te ngau ia koutou, ki te kai tetahi i tetahi, kia tupato kei pareho tetahi i tetahi.
16 I say, moreover—by Spirit, be walking, and, fleshly coveting, ye will in nowise fulfil;
Ko taku kupu ia tenei, Haere i roto i te Wairua, a e kore e whakaritea e koutou te hiahia o te kikokiko.
17 For, the flesh, coveted against the Spirit, but, the Spirit, against the flesh, —for, these, unto one another, are opposed, lest, whatsoever things ye chance to desire, these, ye should be doing!
E hiahia ana hoki te kikokiko tika ke i te Wairua, me te Wairua tika ke i te kikokiko: e whawhai ana hoki enei tetahi ki tetahi: te taea nga mea i hiahia ai koutou.
18 And, if, by Spirit, ye are being led, ye are not under law.
Ki te arahina ia koutou e te Wairua, kahore koutou i raro i te ture.
19 Manifest, however, are the works of the flesh, which, indeed, are—fornication, impurity, wantonness,
Na e kitea ana nga mahi a te kikokiko, ara he moe tahae, he poke, he hiahia taikaha,
20 idolatry, enchantment, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, factions, divisions, parties,
He karakia whakapakoko, he makutu, he pakanga, he totohe, he hae, he riri, he wawahi, he wehewehe, he titore,
21 envyings, drunkenness, revellings; —and such things as these: as to which I forewarn you, even as I have forewarned you, —that, they who such things as these do practise, shall not inherit, God’s kingdom.
He hao, he haurangi, he kakai, me nga mea e rite ana ki enei: me korero wawe e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, me pera me taku i korero ai i mua, ko te hunga e mahi ana i nga mea penei, e kore e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
22 But, the fruit of the Spirit, is—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, graciousness, goodness, faithfulness,
Ko te hua ia o te Wairua, he aroha, he hari, he rangimarie, he manawanui, he ngawari, he ngakau pai, he whakapono,
23 meekness, self-control; —against such things as these, there is no law.
He ngakau mahaki, he ngakau kua taea te pehi: kahore he ture e riria ai enei mea.
24 And, they who are of Christ Jesus, have crucified, the flesh, with its susceptibilities and covetings.
Ko te hunga ia o te Karaiti, kua ripekatia e ratou te kikokiko, me ona hihiritanga, me ona hiahia.
25 If we live by Spirit, by Spirit, let us also walk.
Ki te mea e ora ana tatou i roto i te Wairua, kia haere ano tatou i roto i te Wairua.
26 Let us not become vain-glorious, —one another, challenging, one another, envying.
Kei whaia e tatou te kororia huakore, te whakapataritari tetahi ki tetahi, te hae tetahi ki tetahi.
