Ndị Galeshịa 5
1 Kraịst emeela ka anyị pụọ nʼohu, nʼihi anyị inwere onwe anyị. Ya mere, gbalịanụ ịhụ na unu e nyeghị onwe unu nʼọnọdụ ohu ọzọ.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage.
2 Geenụ m ntị, mụ onwe m bụ Pọl na-agwa unu nke a. Ọ bụrụ na unu anabata obibi ugwu, Kraịst agaghị abara unu uru ọbụla.
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 Ka m kwuokwa ya ọzọ, onye ọbụla kweere ka e bie ya ugwu ji ụgwọ idebezu iwu niile ahụ.
And I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to the whole law.
4 E kewapụla unu nʼebe Kraịst nọ, unu ndị a ga-agụnye na ndị ezi omume site nʼiwu. Unu adapụla nʼamara ya.
Christ is become nothing to you, whosoever of you are seeking to be justified by the law: ye are fallen from the grace of the gospel.
5 Nʼihi na anyị onwe anyị nwere olileanya na site nʼike nke Mmụọ Nsọ, a ga-agụ anyị na ndị ezi omume site nʼokwukwe anyị.
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 Nʼihi nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, obibi ugwu maọbụ ebighị ugwu abaghị uru. Ihe dị mkpa bụ okwukwe nke na-egosi onwe ya site nʼịhụnanya.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.
7 Unu na-agbabu ọsọ nke ọma, onye gbochiri unu ikwenyere eziokwu ahụ?
Ye did run well: who hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 Ụdị nkwagide ahụ esiteghị nʼebe Onye ahụ kpọrọ unu bịa.
This persuasion came not from him that called you: but a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.
9 Nwantịntị ihe na-eko achịcha na-eme ka ogbe ụtụ ọka a gwọrọ agwọ koo.
I have confidence in you however through the Lord,
10 Enwere m ntụkwasị obi nʼime Onyenwe anyị na unu agaghị eche echiche nʼụdị a ọzọ, ma ikpe ọmụma ga-adịrị onye ọbụla na-eduhie unu ọzọ.
that ye will not think otherwise: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgement, whosoever he be.
11 Ụmụnna m, ọ bụrụ nʼezie na m na-ekwusa mkpa obibi ugwu dị, gịnị mere e ji nọgide na-akpagbu m? Ọ bụrụ na m mee otu ahụ, ewepụla m ihe ọdachi ahụ dị nʼobe.
And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted by the Jews? for then the offence of the cross is ceased.
12 Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma ọ bụrụ na ndị ahụ na-esogbu unu ga-eme onwe ha ndị onozi.
I wish they were even cut off from your communion, that make such disturbance amongst you.
13 Nʼihi na e meela ka unu nwere onwe unu, ụmụnna m, ma unu ekwela ka mnwere onwe unu bụrụ ohere nye anụ ahụ unu, kama werenụ ịhụnanya na-agbara ibe unu odibo.
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only abuse not this liberty for an occasion to indulge the flesh, but by mutual love serve one another.
14 Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na a chịkọta iwu niile nʼotu, ihe iwu niile na-ekwu bụ nke a, “Na-ahụnụ ndị ọzọ nʼanya dịka unu si hụ onwe unu nʼanya.”
For all the law is fulfilled in one precept, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 Ọ bụrụ na unu na-akọcha ibe unu, na-eji ọnụ unu na-ekwutọ ha, kpacharanụ anya ka unu hapụ ịla onwe unu nʼiyi.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not destroyed by one another.
16 Ana m agwa unu nke a: na-adịnụ ndụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-achị, unu anọkwala nʼọchịchọ nke anụ ahụ.
I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the desire of the flesh:
17 Nʼihi na ihe anụ ahụ chọrọ dị iche nʼihe Mmụọ Nsọ chọrọ. Ihe Mmụọ Nsọ chọrọ dịkwa iche nʼihe anụ ahụ chọrọ. Ịgba mgba dị nʼetiti ha na-eme ka ị hapụ inwe ike mee ihe ị chọrọ ime.
for the flesh desireth things contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit things contrary to the flesh: and these are opposite to each other; so that ye do not those things which ye would.
18 Ma ọ bụrụ na Mmụọ Nsọ na-edu unu, unu anọkwaghị nʼokpuru iwu.
But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Ugbu a, ọrụ nke anụ ahụ pụtara ihe: ịkwa iko, adịghị ọcha na agụụ ịkwa iko.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, such as, adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
20 Ikpere arụsị, iri amụsụ, ibu iro nʼobi, na ịlụ ọgụ, ekworo na iwe, ịkpa iche iche, nkewa, ịhọ otu.
lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strifes, emulations, animosities, contentions, divisions,
21 Ịkpọ asị, igbu ọchụ, ịṅụbiga mmanya oke, oke oriri na ihe ndị ọzọ yiri ha. Ana m adọ unu aka na ntị dịka m gwara unu nʼoge gara aga, ndị na-eme ihe dị otu a agaghị abanye nʼalaeze Chineke.
heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also told you before, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 Ma mkpụrụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ bụ, ndụ ịhụnanya, na ọṅụ, na udo, na ogologo ntachiobi, na obiọma, na ịdị mma, na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
23 ịdị nwayọọ, na ijide onwe. Ọ dịkwaghị iwu na-emegide ihe ndị a.
gentleness, goodness, fidelity, meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law.
24 Ma ndị niile bụ ndị Kraịst Jisọs akpọgidela anụ ahụ ha, ya na ọchịchọ ha nʼelu obe.
And they, that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with it's passions and desires.
25 Ọ bụrụ na anyị na-ebi ndụ mmụọ, ka nzọ ụkwụ anyị bụrụ nke mmụọ na-eduzi.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Ka anyị ghara ịbụ ndị mpako si otu a na-akpali iwe na ekworo nʼetiti anyị.
Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
