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 fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again in the 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 unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit 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 testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to 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.
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 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 the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
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 availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.
7 I pai ta koutou oma; na wai koutou i whakaware, i kore ai koutou e rongo ki te pono?
Ye did run well: who hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 Ehara tenei whakaaro i te mea na te kaikaranga i a koutou.
This persuasion came not from him that called you: but a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.
9 He iti te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa.
I have confidence in you however through the Lord,
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.
that ye will not think otherwise: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgement, whosoever he 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.
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 Pai kau ki ahau me i motuhia atu te hunga e whakararu na i a koutou.
I wish they were even cut off from your communion, that make such disturbance amongst you.
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, 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 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 all the law is fulfilled in one precept, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour 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 one another, take heed that ye be not destroyed by one another.
16 Ko taku kupu ia tenei, Haere i roto i te Wairua, a e kore e whakaritea e koutou te hiahia o te kikokiko.
I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the desire of the 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 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 Ki te arahina ia koutou e te Wairua, kahore koutou i raro i te ture.
But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the 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 manifest, such as, adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
20 He karakia whakapakoko, he makutu, he pakanga, he totohe, he hae, he riri, he wawahi, he wehewehe, he titore,
lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strifes, emulations, animosities, contentions, divisions,
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.
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 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, long-suffering,
23 He ngakau mahaki, he ngakau kua taea te pehi: kahore he ture e riria ai enei mea.
gentleness, goodness, fidelity, meekness, temperance: 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 they, that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with it's passions and desires.
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 the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Kei whaia e tatou te kororia huakore, te whakapataritari tetahi ki tetahi, te hae tetahi ki tetahi.
Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
