Galatians 5
1 Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty with which the Messiah hath made us free; and be not subjected again to 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 to you, That if ye become circumcised, the Messiah is of no advantage to you.
Ta thikĩrĩriai ciugo ciakwa! Niĩ Paũlũ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũngĩtĩkĩra kũrua-rĩ, Kristũ ndangĩgĩa bata na inyuĩ o na hanini.
3 And again, I testify to every one who becometh circumcised, that he is bound to fulfill the whole law.
Ningĩ nĩngũmwĩra o rĩngĩ atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtĩkĩra kũrua, ũcio amenye atĩ nĩagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwathĩkĩra watho ũrĩ wothe.
4 Ye have renounced the Messiah, ye who seek justification by the law: and ye have apostatized 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, which is from faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
No ithuĩ-rĩ, tũkoragwo twĩhokete atĩ nĩtũgatuuo athingu. Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo tũkoragwo twĩrĩgĩrĩire tũrĩ na wĩtĩkio, tũhotithĩtio nĩ Roho.
6 For, in the Messiah Jesus, circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcision, but the faith that is perfected by love.
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 Ye did run well: who hath interrupted you, that ye acquiesce not in the truth?
Nĩmũratengʼagĩra ihenya rĩega. Nũũ wamũgiririe mũgĩtiga gũcooka gwathĩkĩra ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma?
8 The bias of your mind is not from him who called you.
Kũringĩrĩrio kwa mũthemba ũcio gũtiumĩte kũrĩ ũrĩa wamwĩtire.
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.
“Ndawa nini tu ya kũimbia mĩgate nĩĩtũmaga mũtu ũrĩa mũkande nayo wothe ũimbe.”
10 I confide in you through our Lord, that ye will entertain no other thoughts. And he that disquieteth you, shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be.
Nĩndĩhokete thĩinĩ wa Mwathani atĩ inyuĩ mũtikũgarũrũka mũgĩe na meciiria mangĩ. Ũrĩa ũramũtururia nĩwe ũkaaherithio o na angĩkorwo arĩ ũ.
11 And I, my brethren, if I still preached circumcision, why should I suffer persecution? Hath the offensiveness 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 But I would, that they who disquiet you, were actually cut off.
No nyende andũ acio mamũthĩĩnagia mathiĩ na mbere o nginya mehakũre.
13 And ye, my brethren, have been called into liberty: only let not your liberty be an occasion to the flesh; but, by love, be ye servants to each other.
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 the whole law is fulfilled in one sentence; in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Tondũ-rĩ, ũhoro wothe wa watho ũhingagio nĩ rĩathani rĩĩrĩ rĩmwe: “Enda mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩendete wee mwene.”
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, beware, lest ye be consumed one by another.
No rĩrĩ, mũngĩrũmana mũkĩrĩĩanaga-rĩ, mwĩmenyererei mũtikaniinane inyuĩ ene.
16 And I say: Walk ye in the Spirit; and never follow the cravings of the flesh.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nguuga atĩrĩ, thiiagai mũtongoretio nĩ Roho, na mũtirĩhingagia merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ.
17 For the flesh craveth that which is repugnant to the Spirit; and the Spirit craveth that which is repugnant to the flesh: and the two are the opposites of each other, so that ye do not that which ye desire.
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 ye are guided by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
No rĩrĩ, mũngĩtongorio nĩ Roho, inyuĩ mũtingĩkorwo mũgĩathwo nĩ watho.
19 For the works of the flesh are known, which are whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness,
Na rĩrĩ, maũndũ marĩa mekagwo nĩ mwĩrĩ nĩmoĩo, namo nĩ: ũmaraya, na meciiria mooru, na ũmaramari,
20 idol-worship, magic, malice, contention, rivalry, wrath, strife, divisions, discords,
na kũhooya mĩhianano, na kũrogana, na ũthũ, na kũũgitana, na ũiru, na mangʼũrĩ, na kwĩyenda, na nyamũkano, na ngarari,
21 envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all the like things. And they who perpetrate these things, as I have before told you, and also now tell you, do 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 fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, long suffering, suavity, kindness, fidelity, modesty, patience.
No rĩrĩ, maciaro ma Roho nĩ wendani, na gĩkeno, na thayũ, na gũkirĩrĩria, na kũiguanĩra tha, na gũtugana, na kwĩhokeka,
23 Against these there standeth no law.
na ũhooreri, na kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ. Macio-rĩ, gũtirĩ watho wa kũgiria mekagwo.
24 And they who are of the Messiah, have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its cravings.
Nao andũ arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩmambithĩtie mĩĩrĩ yao mũtĩ-igũrũ hamwe na thuti ciayo na merirĩria mayo.
25 Let us therefore live in the Spirit; and let us press on after the Spirit.
Angĩkorwo tũtũire muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa Roho-rĩ, kĩrekei tũtongoragio nĩ Roho.
26 And let us not be vain-glorious, despising one another, and envying one another.
Rekei tũtige gwĩtĩĩa, na kũũgitana, o na kũiguanagĩra ũiru.
