Agalatia 5
1 Kristũ nĩgũtuohora aatuohorire nĩguo tũgĩe na wĩyathi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩhaandei wega na mũtigetĩkĩre kuohwo icooki rĩa ũkombo rĩngĩ.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Ta thikĩrĩriai ciugo ciakwa! Niĩ Paũlũ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũngĩtĩkĩra kũrua-rĩ, Kristũ ndangĩgĩa bata na inyuĩ o na hanini.
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if all of you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 Ningĩ nĩngũmwĩra o rĩngĩ atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtĩkĩra kũrua, ũcio amenye atĩ nĩagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwathĩkĩra watho ũrĩ wothe.
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Inyuĩ arĩa mũrageria gũtuĩka athingu nĩ ũndũ wa watho-rĩ, nĩmũtigithanĩtio na Kristũ; inyuĩ nĩmũgwĩte mũgatigana na wega wa Ngai.
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; all of you are fallen from grace.
5 No ithuĩ-rĩ, tũkoragwo twĩhokete atĩ nĩtũgatuuo athingu. Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo tũkoragwo twĩrĩgĩrĩire tũrĩ na wĩtĩkio, tũhotithĩtio nĩ Roho.
For we through the Spirit (pneuma) wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 Nĩgũkorwo thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, kũrua kana kwaga kũrua gũtirĩ bata. Ũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ bata nĩ wĩtĩkio ũrĩa ũrutaga wĩra na njĩra ya wendani.
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love. (agape)
7 Nĩmũratengʼagĩra ihenya rĩega. Nũũ wamũgiririe mũgĩtiga gũcooka gwathĩkĩra ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma?
All of you did run well; who did hinder you that all of you should not obey the truth?
8 Kũringĩrĩrio kwa mũthemba ũcio gũtiumĩte kũrĩ ũrĩa wamwĩtire.
This persuasion comes not of him that calls you.
9 “Ndawa nini tu ya kũimbia mĩgate nĩĩtũmaga mũtu ũrĩa mũkande nayo wothe ũimbe.”
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
10 Nĩndĩhokete thĩinĩ wa Mwathani atĩ inyuĩ mũtikũgarũrũka mũgĩe na meciiria mangĩ. Ũrĩa ũramũtururia nĩwe ũkaaherithio o na angĩkorwo arĩ ũ.
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that all of you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11 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.
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12 No nyende andũ acio mamũthĩĩnagia mathiĩ na mbere o nginya mehakũre.
I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13 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.
For, brethren, all of you have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love (agape) serve one another.
14 Tondũ-rĩ, ũhoro wothe wa watho ũhingagio nĩ rĩathani rĩĩrĩ rĩmwe: “Enda mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩendete wee mwene.”
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, (logos) even in this; You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
15 No rĩrĩ, mũngĩrũmana mũkĩrĩĩanaga-rĩ, mwĩmenyererei mũtikaniinane inyuĩ ene.
But if all of you bite and devour one another, take heed that all of you be not consumed one of another.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nguuga atĩrĩ, thiiagai mũtongoretio nĩ Roho, na mũtirĩhingagia merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, (pneuma) and all of you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 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.
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, (pneuma) and the Spirit (pneuma) against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that all of you cannot do the things that all of you would.
18 No rĩrĩ, mũngĩtongorio nĩ Roho, inyuĩ mũtingĩkorwo mũgĩathwo nĩ watho.
But if all of you be led of the Spirit, (pneuma) all of you are not under the law.
19 Na rĩrĩ, maũndũ marĩa mekagwo nĩ mwĩrĩ nĩmoĩo, namo nĩ: ũmaraya, na meciiria mooru, na ũmaramari,
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 na kũhooya mĩhianano, na kũrogana, na ũthũ, na kũũgitana, na ũiru, na mangʼũrĩ, na kwĩyenda, na nyamũkano, na ngarari,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, worldy jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 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.
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 No rĩrĩ, maciaro ma Roho nĩ wendani, na gĩkeno, na thayũ, na gũkirĩrĩria, na kũiguanĩra tha, na gũtugana, na kwĩhokeka,
But the fruit of the Spirit (pneuma) is love, (agape) joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 na ũhooreri, na kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ. Macio-rĩ, gũtirĩ watho wa kũgiria mekagwo.
Meekness, wilful restrain: against such there is no law.
24 Nao andũ arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩmambithĩtie mĩĩrĩ yao mũtĩ-igũrũ hamwe na thuti ciayo na merirĩria mayo.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 Angĩkorwo tũtũire muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa Roho-rĩ, kĩrekei tũtongoragio nĩ Roho.
If we live in the Spirit, (pneuma) let us also walk in the Spirit. (pneuma)
26 Rekei tũtige gwĩtĩĩa, na kũũgitana, o na kũiguanagĩra ũiru.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
