Karatia 5
1 Na te Karaiti i wewete te here i a tatou: na reira kia u te tu, kei mau hoki ki roto ki te ioka pononga.
Stand firm therefore in the liberty in which Christ freed us, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
2 Nana, tenei ahau, a Paora te mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kotia koutou, e kore koutou e whai pai i a te Karaiti.
Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ will benefit you nothing.
3 He whakaatu tuarua tenei naku ki nga tangata katoa e kotia ana, kua mau ratou i te ture kia mahia katoatia.
And I solemnly declare again to every man who is circumcised, that he is obligated to do the whole law.
4 Kua wehea atu koutou i a te Karaiti, e te hunga e whakatikaia ana e te ture, kua taka iho koutou i runga i te aroha noa.
Ye were discharged from the Christ, ye who are made righteous by law. Ye have fallen from grace.
5 Ko tatou hoki, na te Wairua ta tatou tatari ki te tika e tumanakohia atu nei, e ahu mai nei i te whakapono:
For we through Spirit, from faith, wait for a hope of righteousness.
6 I roto hoki i a Karaiti Ihu kahore o te kotinga wahi, kahore o te kotingakore; engari ko te whakapono e mahi ana i runga i te aroha.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
7 I pai ta koutou oma; na wai koutou i whakaware, i kore ai koutou e rongo ki te pono?
Ye were running well. Who hindered you, not to obey the truth?
8 Ehara tenei whakaaro i te mea na te kaikaranga i a koutou.
This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
9 He iti te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
10 E whakapono ana ahau ki a koutou i roto i te Ariki, e kore e rere ke o koutou whakaaro: ko te kaiwhakararu ia i a koutou, ahakoa ko wai, mana ano tona whakawakanga e pikau.
I have confidence toward you in the Lord, that ye will think no other thing. But the man who troubles you will bear the verdict, whoever he may be.
11 Me ahau ano, e oku teina, ki te mea he kauwhau tonu nei taku i te kotinga, he aha ahau ka whakatoia tonutia ai? penei kua kore to te ripeka tutukitanga waewae.
But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the cross has been abolished.
12 Pai kau ki ahau me i motuhia atu te hunga e whakararu na i a koutou.
O that those who trouble you would even cut it all off.
13 Kua karangatia nei hoki koutou, e oku teina, ki te tikanga herekore; kaua ia ta koutou tikanga herekore e waiho hei whakaoho i te kikokiko, engari me mahi koutou tetahi ki tetahi i runga i te aroha.
For ye, brothers, were called to liberty, only not liberty for an opportunity to the flesh, but be servants to each other through love.
14 E takoto topu ana hoki te ture katoa i roto i te kupu kotahi, ara, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
15 Ki te ngau ia koutou, ki te kai tetahi i tetahi, kia tupato kei pareho tetahi i tetahi.
But if ye bite and devour each other, watch out that ye be not consumed by each other.
16 Ko taku kupu ia tenei, Haere i roto i te Wairua, a e kore e whakaritea e koutou te hiahia o te kikokiko.
But I say, walk in Spirit and ye will, no, not fulfill a lust of flesh.
17 E hiahia ana hoki te kikokiko tika ke i te Wairua, me te Wairua tika ke i te kikokiko: e whawhai ana hoki enei tetahi ki tetahi: te taea nga mea i hiahia ai koutou.
For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit is against the flesh. For these are hostile to each other, so that whatever these things are ye may want, ye may not do.
18 Ki te arahina ia koutou e te Wairua, kahore koutou i raro i te ture.
But if ye are led by Spirit ye are not under law.
19 Na e kitea ana nga mahi a te kikokiko, ara he moe tahae, he poke, he hiahia taikaha,
Now the works of the flesh are apparent, which are, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
20 He karakia whakapakoko, he makutu, he pakanga, he totohe, he hae, he riri, he wawahi, he wehewehe, he titore,
idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strifes, jealousies, wraths, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,
21 He hao, he haurangi, he kakai, me nga mea e rite ana ki enei: me korero wawe e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, me pera me taku i korero ai i mua, ko te hunga e mahi ana i nga mea penei, e kore e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
envyings, murders, intoxications, revelings, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, as I also did forewarn, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 Ko te hua ia o te Wairua, he aroha, he hari, he rangimarie, he manawanui, he ngawari, he ngakau pai, he whakapono,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 He ngakau mahaki, he ngakau kua taea te pehi: kahore he ture e riria ai enei mea.
meekness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Ko te hunga ia o te Karaiti, kua ripekatia e ratou te kikokiko, me ona hihiritanga, me ona hiahia.
And those of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and the lusts.
25 Ki te mea e ora ana tatou i roto i te Wairua, kia haere ano tatou i roto i te Wairua.
If we live in Spirit, we should also march in Spirit.
26 Kei whaia e tatou te kororia huakore, te whakapataritari tetahi ki tetahi, te hae tetahi ki tetahi.
Let us not become conceited, provoking each other, envying each other.
