Wagalatia 5
1 Ulwa khuva u Klisite atupile uvudehe pu tuve vadehe pwu mwemage nu uvugolofu msite ukhwibatiwa nu uvwusuhiwa.
Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty with which the Messiah hath made us free; and be not subjected again to the yoke of bondage.
2 Lola ne Paulo, nihovavola ukhuta mngaheketiwe, Klisite sahavatange khu njila yoyoni.
Behold, I Paul say to you, That if ye become circumcised, the Messiah is of no advantage to you.
3 Pwu nihovavola ukhuta hela angosi uveaheketiwe ukhuta yilondiwa akonganage nu lulagilo lwoni.
And again, I testify to every one who becometh circumcised, that he is bound to fulfill the whole law.
4 Mtengiwe khutali nu Klisite, voni “avivaliwa uvogolofu wa ndagilo, mgwile hutali nu lusayo.
Ye have renounced the Messiah, ye who seek justification by the law: and ye have apostatized from grace.
5 Ulwakhuva hu njila ya mepo, nu luhungu tugulela uvujimu wa lweli.
For we, through the Spirit, which is from faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
6 Khwa Klisite Yesu uhukeketiwa nu ukhusitakeketwa sahulenamaana gogoni. Ulwedeho lwene lulovomba embombo ukhugenela ndu gaano, pwu hiva khenu.
For, in the Messiah Jesus, circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcision, but the faith that is perfected by love.
7 Muhanyilaga imbelo vononu, veni akhavabenchinche ukhwedeka elweli?
Ye did run well: who hath interrupted you, that ye acquiesce not in the truth?
8 Uwosongeleji uva khuvombe incho sawukhomane nu mwene yaywa avelangile umwe.
The bias of your mind is not from him who called you.
9 Ekhelunchi hedebe khiluncha pa vuvakha.
A little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.
10 Nelenulohovohelo numwe mwa Nkuludeva ukhuta samhasage khu njila eyenge. Uyunge uvuyaheva ihovayacha yigega uhuhegiwa khwa mwene.
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.
11 Valokolo inave mpilagela ukhuheketa, khehi nigatanchiwa? Khu kherwekhehivekha ukhusiga ekidaming'ani khinangiwa.
And I, my brethren, if I still preached circumcision, why should I suffer persecution? Hath the offensiveness of the cross ceased?
12 Vunogwe vwango ukhuta vavo vikhuvalongoncha fivi vikhelamia vavo.
But I would, that they who disquiet you, were actually cut off.
13 U Nguluve avelangile umwe, valokolo, khu vudehe. Msite ukhuvovombela uvudehe wenyo insekhe gwa mbele.
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.
14 Hulugano mvombelanilage yomwe khwa yomwe. Ulwakhuva indagilo nzoni nzigolwike mbu lulagilo lumo yinogiwa uhogana unino ndu weganile uve.”
For the whole law is fulfilled in one sentence; in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
15 Leno mkalumanage nu hulichana, mwelolelage ukhuta samhenangania yomwe khuva yomwe.
But if ye bite and devour one another, beware, lest ye be consumed one by another.
16 Nihovavola ukhuta, mgendage mu mepo, samlavulekha uvonogwe wa mbele.
And I say: Walk ye in the Spirit; and never follow the cravings of the flesh.
17 Ulwakhuva umbele kule nu uvonogwe vuvaha ulemehana ne numbula, ne numbula yele nuvonogwe vuvaha ukhulemehana nu mbele. Inchi chilemehana eyenge ne nine. Pu yehomile ukhuta samuvomba ifinu ifyo mwinogwa ukhuvivomba.
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.
18 Engave e numbula yikho valongoncha umwe, samwiva ndolagelo.
But if ye are guided by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Leno imbombo incha mbele inchivonekha, uvwuligu, uvwulami, uwvulyasi,
For the works of the flesh are known, which are whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness,
20 inyesayo incha fikhwani, uvwuhavi, uvwuvivi, imbancha, amasago amavivi, elyoyo, ukhulemehana, ukhulehehana,
idol-worship, magic, malice, contention, rivalry, wrath, strife, divisions, discords,
21 Ehetule, uvwuganchi, akhyoyona agange ndaga. Nikhovavonga umwe, ndu vavongile pavwutanchi, ukhuta vavovivomba ndago savahapate uvwukhale ndu deva lwa Nguluve.
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.
22 Isekhe incha numbula ulugano, uluhekelo, luhungu, ukhweyumelencha, uwipa, ikhisa, ulwidikho, Uvwudehe, ne pavwudebe.
But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, long suffering, suavity, kindness, fidelity, modesty, patience.
23 Losikhuli ululagilo ulululemekihana nancho.
Against these there standeth no law.
24 Vwala avwa Klisite Yesu vwakhegiwe umbele nu uvonogwe vwa vene uvwuvivi.
And they who are of the Messiah, have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its cravings.
25 Tungatamage nu mepo, nukhugenda ne mepo.
Let us therefore live in the Spirit; and let us press on after the Spirit.
26 Tusite ukhuva nu kweginio, tusite ukhukalanchana khela munu nu nine, tusite ukhuva ne khetuule.
And let us not be vain-glorious, despising one another, and envying one another.
