Bagalatia 5
1 Ezali mpo ete tozala bansomi nde Klisto akangolaki biso. Yango wana, botelema ngwi mpe bozonga lisusu na bowumbu te.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Ngai Polo, nazali koloba na bino ete soki bokatisi ngenga, Klisto akozala lisusu na tina te epai na bino.
Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 Nazali koyebisa lisusu na moto nyonso oyo akatisi ye moko ngenga ete asengeli kotosa makambo nyonso oyo Mobeko etindaka.
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Bino oyo bolukaka kokoma sembo na nzela ya kotosa mibeko, bozali ya kokabwana na Klisto, bozali lisusu na se ya ngolu ya Nzambe te.
Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; ye have fallen from grace.
5 Kasi biso, na lisungi ya Molimo, tozali kozela na elikya kokoma sembo na nzela ya kondima.
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 Pamba te, kati na Yesu-Klisto, likambo ya tina ezali: kozala na kondima oyo esalaka na nzela ya bolingo; ezali te: kokatama ngenga to kokatama ngenga te.
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7 Bozalaki kopota mbangu malamu! Bongo nani apengwisi bino mpo ete botika kotosa bosolo?
Ye did run well, who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?
8 Likanisi ya boye ewuti te epai ya Ye oyo abengaki bino.
This persuasion [cometh] not from him that calleth you.
9 Mwa levire moke evimbisaka potopoto nyonso ya mapa.
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10 Ngai nandimisami mpo na bino kati na Nkolo ete bokotikala kozala na makanisi mosusu te; mpe ete moto oyo azali kotia mobulu kati na makanisi na bino akozwa etumbu, ezala ata nani.
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be.
11 Bandeko na ngai, soki nazalaki nanu koteya tina ya kokatisa ngenga, mpo na nini nanyokolama lisusu? Soki ezali bongo, mateya ya ekulusu elingaki lisusu kobetisa bato mabaku te.
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then hath the offense of the cross ceased.
12 Boye tika ete bato oyo bazali kotia mobulu kati na bino bamilongola ata banzoto ya mibali!
I would they were even cut off who trouble you.
13 Bandeko na ngai, Nzambe abenga bino mpo ete bozala bansomi. Kasi tika ete bonsomi yango ekoma te mpo na bino libaku malamu ya kotambola kolanda baposa ya nzoto. Nzokande, na nzela ya bolingo, bosunganaka bino na bino.
For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 Pamba te Mobeko nyonso ekokisami kati na liloba kaka moko: « Linga moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka. »
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
15 Soki bozali kotukana mpe kozokisana, bosala keba ete bobomana te bino na bino.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one by another.
16 Boye, tala makambo oyo nazali koloba na bino: Botambola kolanda baposa ya Molimo, mpe bokokokisa te baposa ya bomoto na bino.
[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 Pamba te baposa ya bomoto ebundisaka baposa ya Molimo, mpe baposa ya Molimo ebundisaka baposa ya bomoto. Nyonso mibale ebundisanaka mpo ete bolonga te kosala makambo oyo bolingi kosala.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 Kasi soki Molimo atambolisi bino, bokozala na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te.
But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Tala misala ya bomoto: kindumba, misala ya bosoto, pite,
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these], Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 kosambela bikeko, kindoki, koyinana, koswana, zuwa, kanda, bombanda, bokabwani, koboyana,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 likunya, milangwa, lokoso ya kolia, mpe makambo mosusu ya lolenge oyo. Nazali komiyebisela bino, ndenge nasalaki liboso: bato oyo basalaka makambo ya lolenge oyo bakokota te na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 Kasi mbuma ya Molimo ezali: bolingo, esengo, kimia, kokanga motema, bondeko, kosala bolamu, kondima,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 boboto mpe komikanga. Mibeko epekisaka te makambo ya lolenge oyo.
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 Bato oyo bazali kati na Yesu-Klisto babaka na ekulusu bomoto na bango elongo na baposa mpe bilulela na yango.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts.
25 Lokola tozali kobika bomoi na biso na nzela ya Molimo, totambola mpe na lisungi ya Molimo.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Tozala bato ya lolendo te, totumbolana te mpe toyokelana zuwa te.
Let us not be desirous of vain-glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
