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].
Barki ukem akara ani abibe ba Asere makabinduru, barki itunu wa kara kati ikuure a nyemo uzetu madini mani zeren.
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.
Ire, me Bulus, mabukashi inuguna inka a wuzi shi nigbare a bibe ba Asere be daki be cukunu gungun ahira ashi ba vat akoyu na.
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].
Anime ani mahim innuguna ma impo amaru vat anabu anigi bi sa a wuzi we ne gbarime, ya cukono we gbars vat uwe, wakun tize tine kubo.
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.
Yanetiki vat bibe ba Asere me, anigibisa “A orosu we” u watu utize tini kubu, icukuno anyemo ireba irom.
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.
Ahira abibe, anyemo akadure, tizinobee uwe sarki beyau a ireba ishiu.
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].
A nyemo abibe Asere gbare we nani idaki a bgarwe ba a tize huma tikadure ce una katuma anyemo ishui him ubize ireba irom inime itaki inuze.
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]!
Yazen makasiya memerom avini matori ma karti shi ukuna utize nan ka dure.
8 [God], the one who chose you, is not the one who is persuading you to think like this!
Uzika ireba sa ikiwu unu uwaze mum idaki ahira adesa matiwe 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.
Uyisti ocigilin une une uwuze imumu ugur nani cicin.
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.
Izeni ginume uhirame barki shi a nyemo Ugomo Asere inuguna idaki iwuze ure ubasa utize a ure una sasisba unigibisa gaini kamacukunu sas ma si nerere kome avini maze.
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].
Nihinu ika aname izenbezezzi ushi inuguna disa a gbarme izennubu ume, barki anime izena sa uzitu, ika anime ane nipuni wuna upeliko barki ugakireka upusa vat.
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]!
Izenuguna anigibisa inuwuze iwuze ire imumu kini wakurze a ce aweme a kacu.
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.
Ni hinu barki Asere ani atitishi uhana ukem unikara, kati kuna uron ta unikara sa ya kem nicukunushi ukuna ukunushi ukuna urunta wapum, barki anime ironi ace ashi namu iroba mushui iuwuze ace ashi katuma.
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.”
Barki anime tize tinikubu ta mice anyemo vat taze ti idaitine, wuna uso uroni utura uweme kaniya nice nuweme.
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].
Kunani, ikalzen inurumusa ace ashime ikure ituze irene wazenezekizeki kati ihuze ace ashime.
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].
Wagu, ucuzeni tanu anyemo abibe ba Asere, idaki iwuze apum a shi mei majeba.
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].
Barki nipum niwuzematare nan be bibe Asere, bibe Asere me ma wuze ishina nan nipum baki anime timumu tiginome ini ubuni idai nine barki anime wadaki waze imum ihuma ba.
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].
Ika bibeba Asere bini bi tarsa inshi inzo utize tini kububa.
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.
Ananre tirogatinipum tirani amasa kaniya uwuza umadini, uzeti umo reba molau, mei ma je.
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].
Katuma kamakire, uwuze uni bire, ucika utikara, matara, niero, iroba ikgarkgai, upuza ace itize uharsina, uhugu utize.
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.
Imumu sa iwusa unu mawu huw-huw usati unihuma nankasu utiri timum manizishi tize kasi yandasa ma gushi adisa wawusa timumu tiginume wakiwakem urebe ahira Asere 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.
Shi hana abibe anu pati ace ani, nan mureba mu shui, a ticukum huma nanu wanu uyah unice nekadare.
23 We are gentle. We control our behavior. There is no law that says people should not [think and act in such ways].
Muruba shiu, mushiu sarki tize tinikubu sa iraniu aje aru are anu nan ti mumum.
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!
Anikibisa waze Ugomo Asere me Yeso wa gaikireka uzena uweme apum nan adisa wazi inu ire uguna we ee itize samirka timei maje.
25 Since [God’s] Spirit has caused us to [be spiritually] alive, we should [conduct our lives the way the] Spirit [directs us].
Ikaticiki anyemo abibe kini tiwuze tanu nan bibe ba Asere.
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.
Kati tiwuze ti cukum tuyeze unice, nani jokiko ace nani tizen nuhuza acece aru.
