Galatians 5
1 It is in order that we might live without (being obliged [to/having to]) [obey all the Jewish rituals] that Christ freed us [from God condemning us because of our disobeying those rituals]. So, firmly [reject the false teaching that someone must circumcise you, and] do not [live like] slaves again [MET] [by letting others force you to obey those rules and rituals again].
Bara lisosin liwosarinKristi na bunku nari. Bara nani yissinan nin nakara na iwa yinnin tutung ikuru i pira tikanci ba.
2 Consider very carefully what I, Paul, [an apostle], now tell you: If, [to fulfill Jewish ritual laws], you are permitting yourself to be circumcised {someone to circumcise you}, what Christ [has done for you] will not benefit you at all.
Yeneng, Meng, Bulus, nworo minu asa ina kalza minu acuru cas, na Kristi ma so imon imon kitimine ba.
3 Instead, I solemnly declare again to every man who is circumcised {has someone circumcise him} [in order for God to accept him], that you must [perfectly] obey all of the laws [that God gave Moses, in order for God to save you].
Tutung ndin bellu udu kitin ko uyeme unit ulenge na ina kala ghe kucuru usoghe gbas adofin uduke vat.
4 Those of you who are sure that God will erase the record of your sins because you obey the laws [that God gave to Moses], you have separated yourselves from Christ. You have abandoned/rejected [God’s true method of saving you, which was] by kindly erasing the record of your sins, in a way that you did not deserve.
Na nmyen mine duku nin Kristi ba, vat na lenge na idinin sü ise utuchu kitin nduka, anun wulu kitin ballu Kutellẹ.
5 But we who have a relationship with Christ and who trust in Christ are eagerly waiting to receive what God’s Spirit assures us that we can expect. We can expect to receive it because God has erased the record of our sins.
Bara kitin Ruhu nan nya yinnu sa uyenu ti din cha nayi akone nan nya lissosin lilau.
6 As for us who have a relationship with Christ Jesus, God is not concerned whether we are circumcised or not circumcised. Instead, God is concerned about whether we trust [in] Christ, with the result that we love [other people].
Nan nyan Kristi Yisa sa ukalu kucuru, sa usalin kaue na unare imon imong ba. Nani nan nya katuwa in yinnu sa uyenuari cas unare imon.
7 You were progressing well [spiritually] [MET]. You should not have let someone influence you so that [now you] are not believing the true [message about Christ] [RHQ]!
Ina su ucume gegeme. Ghari nin na wantin minu ulanzun liru kidegen?
8 [God], the one who chose you, is not the one who is persuading you to think like this!
Ukpilliu nibinayi mine nani na kitin nlenge na a yicila minuari ba.
9 [Remember that this false doctrine that someone is teaching you will affect all of you, just like] [MET] a little yeast causes all of the dough to swell up.
Uyist cingiling asa umala kiti nan nya likalan vat.
10 [Nevertheless], because of my relationship with the Lord, I am certain that you will think only as I do [about forcing people to obey rules and rituals]. Furthermore, [God] will punish anyone who is confusing you [by teaching this false message], even if he is an important person.
Idi nin nayi akone litime nan nyan Cikilari nin woru na iba su umong ukpilizu ugang ba. Ulenge na ata minu inani ta shogolok a yaunu ushara litime, ko ame ghari.
11 But, my fellow believers, [although someone claims that I am proclaiming that men must be circumcised, I certainly am not still proclaiming that. Remember that the Jews are still] ([persecuting me/causing me to suffer]). If I were still proclaiming that men must be circumcised [in order for God to accept them], (the Jews would not be persecuting me./why would the Jews be persecuting me?) [RHQ] [They would] [RHQ] not be [persecuting me]/causing me to suffer [because] then [the Jews] would no longer be offended. [They] ([are offended/do not want to accept what I teach]) [because I proclaim that Christ, the Messiah, died on] the cross [MTY].
Linuana asa har idin su uwazin kalu kucuru, in yaghari ta nmini din niu uda duru ko kubẹ? uma nin so ikala imon ntizu ntiruzue kuca nkotine.
12 I [would even] wish that those who are disturbing you [by insisting that men be circumcised] would also emasculate [EUP] themselves, [with the result that they would be expelled from your congregations]!
Meng dinin su alenge na idin wultuzunu minu tassa ati mine kiti mine.
13 My fellow believers, [God] chose you in order that [you might live] without having to [obey rules and rituals]. But [do not assume that because] you are free [from having to obey rules and rituals], [God] permits you to [do whatever your] self-directed nature [desires]. Instead, constantly, as you love [each other], serve each other.
Bara Kutellẹ na yicila minu linuana, wos se dei na iwa katwa nin yitu wos mine bara kidowo ba, ama nan nya nsü buzunon ati.
14 Keep in mind that we can sum up all of the laws [that God has] given us in one law, which is: “You must love each person you come in contact with, just like [you love] yourself.”
Bara na uduke vat pitirin nan nya duka urum, nan nya nin ''uma yitu nin sü nnan kuponfe nafo litife.''
15 Since you are attacking and injuring [MET] each other [by the things that you say] [MET], I warn you that [if you continue doing that], you will totally ruin each other [spiritually].
Asa idin kifizu nu ileo inawa nati, sun esn bara iwa molusu ati mine.
16 [So] I tell you this: Constantly let [God’s] Spirit direct you. [If you do that], you will certainly not do the things that your self-directed nature wants [you to do].
Uliru nin ule, cinan nan nyan Ruhu bara iwa ni kidowo imon nsü me.
17 Your self-directed nature (opposes [God’s] Spirit/does not [want you to do what] God’s Spirit [wants you to do]), but also his Spirit opposes your self-directed nature. These two are always (fighting with/opposing) each other. The result is that you do not [constantly] do the [good] deeds that you truly desire [to do].
Bara na kidowe din cinu ugang nin Ruhu, a unin u Ruhu cina ugang nin kidowo inughe naba din su ivira nin nati. Bara iwa su imon ilenge na idi nin sun sue.
18 But when you are led by God’s Spirit {when God’s Spirit directs you}, you [can do what pleases God], now that you are no longer obligated [to obey all] the laws [that God gave Moses].
Andi u Ruhu di ligowe nan ghinu, na idi nan nyan duka ba.
19 [You already know] how [people think and] act [PRS] because of their self-directed nature. These are [some of the things that they do: People] are sexually immoral. [People] commit unnatural sexual acts. [People] act indecently.
Nene adadu kidowo di kanang. Annare unozu nin na wani, lidu lizemzem,
20 [People] worship false gods [and] things [that] represent those gods. [People] perform (rituals in order that evil spirits might act for them/sorcery). [People] are hostile [to others. People] quarrel [with each other. People] are (jealous/resent other people’s status). [People] behave angrily. [People] try (to get others to think highly of them/to exalt themselves) and (do not consider what others want/act selfishly). People do not associate [with others. People] associate only with those who agree [with them].
licin ncil, usu niyiu, ivira nati, ufirun liru, liyarin, tinana nayi, usalin munu nati, umatu kiti, uwutuzunu, kibinai kisirne,
21 [People] want what others have. [People] get drunk. [People] (revel/participate in wild parties). And [people do other] things like these. I warn you [now], just like I warned [you previously], that the ones [who constantly] act [and think] like that will not receive [what] God [has for his own people when he begins] to rule over us.
umolu ntoro, idogwoi, nin nimuse ni le imone na ina wunun minu atuf mun, nafo na uwa malu uwunun atufe mun, alenge na idin su imus ni le imone na iba piru kipin tigoh Kutellẹ ba.
22 But [God’s] Spirit causes [us to do these things]: We love [others]. We are joyful. We are peaceful. We are patient. We are kind. We are good. We are [ones whom] others can trust.
Kumatin Ruhu tutung kunanare usü, ayi abo, lisosin lisheu, ayi asheu, usali tinanayi, lisosin licine, uyinnu sa uyenu,
23 We are gentle. We control our behavior. There is no law that says people should not [think and act in such ways].
usalin bardada, nin kifu liti. Imus nalele na ushara di nati mine ba.
24 Furthermore, we who belong to Christ Jesus have [stopped obeying] our self-directed nature and [stopped doing] all the evil things that we desire to do [MET]. [It is as though] [MET] we nailed them to the cross!
Inung tutung alenge na idi anitin Kristi Yisa ina bana kidowo nin tok kinin a imon inanzang nsü kinin.
25 Since [God’s] Spirit has caused us to [be spiritually] alive, we should [conduct our lives the way the] Spirit [directs us].
Adi tisosin nin Ruhu na ti cinu ligowe tutun nin Ruhu.
26 We should not be saying how great we are. We should not be making ourselves more important than others. We should not envy each other.
Na tiwa so anan karusuzo ba, tifiza ati ayi, sa tiso in shina nati.
