Agalatiya 5

1 Tuba wani intukuluho ku zwililila kwa Jesu kreste ya va tulukululi. Linu muve vakolete mi sanzi mu wondwa hape kwi joko lya vuvi.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

2 Muvone, Ime, Paulusi niti kwenu haiva ni muya ku mupato, Kreste kese na mihe mupuzo munzila i mwi ne imwi.

Listen, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

3 Hape ni paka mukwame zumwi ni zumwi mukwame ya va yendi ku mupato linu uswanela kukuteka ni kwi chilila mulao wonse.

Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 Inwe mukauhenye ku “zwililila” kwa krest. muvonse mu va wani ku shemuviwa cha mulao. Muva wilile kule ni chisemo.

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

5 Kuzwililila ku Luhuho, che ntumelo, linu tulivelele che nsempo ni ku shiyama.

For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

6 Cha Jesu Kereste nanga cha mupato kapa cha kusaya ku mupato kutolokwa chintu chimwina. Kwande ntumelo iseveza che lato nji yiine tuso.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

7 Zile mutiya hande. Njeni ya va mizimiki ku kuteka buniti?

You were running well. Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

8 Ku susuwezwa ku tenda vulyo, ka ku zwili kwali uzo ya va misumpi.

This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

9 Chi vilisa chi nini chi tende muñende kufunduluka.

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

10 Ni na nsepo kwenu che Reeza kuti ke se muhupule kusanduka munzila imwi ne imwi. Uzo yo milyanganise u swanela inkatulo ya kwe, iye mwine.

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

11 Va kwangu, heva ni ni si kutaza za mupato, chi nzi hani sinyandiswa? Che yo nzila chi sitataliso cha chifano ka chi shinyiwe.

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

12 Ni lakaleza avo va mi lyanganisa ka vali kawule avo vene.

I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

13 Chokuti Ireeza ava misumpi, vakwangu, kwi ntukuluho. Sanzi mu sevelisi intukuluho yenu sina ha mu wanina ze nyama. Ni hakuvavulyo che lato mutusana ha mwina.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only do not use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

14 Chokuti mulawo wonse wi zuzilikizwe cha mulawo wumwina, “Mu swanela kusaka va mu vambene navo sina mu mu lisakila inwe mu vene.”

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."

15 Kono heva ni musumana ni kulisana ha mwina, mutokomele kuti ka mu liholofazi ha mwina.

But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you do not consume one another.

16 Niti, muyende cha Luhuho, mi ke se mwi zuzilikize intakazo ze nyama.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

17 Chokuti inyama ine ntakazo nkando yi lwisa Luhuho, mi Luhuho lwine ntakazo nkando kuhite nyama. Chokuti inzi zi lwisanisa izo ziine. Inkalabo yi chokuti ka muwoli kutenda chintu chi mulakaza kutenda.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

18 Kono heva Luhuho lu miyendisa, ka musina mwi konde lya mulawo.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Linu misevezi ye nyama i bwenekete. Vena vuvuki, vahule, vasa njolwele, ve takazo zihitilize,

Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

20 ni kulapela vazimu, ni vulozi, ni kuli toya, ni kuli fwila muna, ni kuwamba cha kukalimela,

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

21 ne fufa, ni muna ni vundakwa, ni vulyavi, ni zimwi zi fosahele. Ni mi kalimela, sina muni va mi kalimeleli ku tanzi, kuti avo va tundamena izo zintu ke se ni va yole muvuso we Reeza.

envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

22 Linu zichelantu za Luhuho i laato, yi ntavo, inkonzo, inkulo inde, chisemo, vulotu, ni tumelo,

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 ni kulishuwa ni kuliyeleza. Linu kakwina mulawo ulwisa nisana nezo zintu.

gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

24 Kwavo vena kwa Jesu Kereste vava kokotelwa ni takanzo ze nyama ni hamwina ni ntakazo zi fosahele.

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

25 Heva tu hala cha Luhuho, tu swanela lyaho ku yenda cha Luhuho.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

26 Sanzi tu saki ku vuvekwa ku sene ntuso, kuli shemayeta kapa kuli fwila muna.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
