Bhagalatia 5
1 A Kilishitu bhashikutugombola kopoka muutumwa nkupinga tubhe tubhangwana kaje. Bhai nnjimangane ukoto nnaibhikanje kabhili muutumwa.
Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.
2 Mpilikananje, nne a Pauli ngunakunnugulilanga kuti, nkali nnjalukangaga nngabha kuti a Kilishitu shibhannjangutilanje shindu.
Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
3 Kabhili nguti nnei, mundu jojowe apingaga kujaluka papinjikwa kukagulila Shalia jowe ja a Musha.
For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law.
4 Bhai monaga nnapinganga mmonekanje mmambonenji nkukagulila Shalia ja a Musha, bhai penepo nshikwiembuyanga na a Kilishitu, numbe gwangali nema ja a Nnungu.
You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace.
5 Pabha uwe tunakulupalila kupegwa aki jetu kwa ngulupai ya Mmbumu jwa a Nnungu.
For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice.
6 Pabha kujaluka na ungajaluka nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu, kukajenjesheya shindu, ikabhe shindu sha mmbone ni kukola ngulupai jiikamula liengo nkupingana.
For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.
7 Pakuti mwatendaga kagulilanga ukoto! Bhai gani ang'ibhililenje nnakundanje ya kweli.
You have run well. So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?
8 Bhantendilenje nneyo, nngabha a Nnungu bhanshemilenje.
This kind of influence is not from him who is calling you.
9 Gene majiganyo ga unamiga ni malinga ngedule shishoko shikombola kushashamiya utandi gwanngwinji!
A little leaven corrupts the whole mass.
10 Nne ngunakulupalila kuti nkulundana na Bhakulungwa bhetu, nkailundanga na ng'aniyo ina ikalandana na yangu. Ikabhe jwene akunshumbuyangajo, shaukumulwe nkali abhe gani.
I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will accept nothing of the kind. However, he who disturbs you shall bear the judgment, whomever he may be.
11 Kwa nneyo ashaalongo ajangunji, ibhaga ntenga gungunnungushiyanga gunataya indu ya jaluka, bhai, kwa nndi ngunashumbuywa? Monaga nneyo, ntenga gungulunguya ga ligongo lya nshalabha gwa a Yeshu ukanakole shigwegwe.
And as for me, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still suffering persecution? For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.
12 Bhakunshumbuyangabho mbaya bhakaiunilenje ntonga ashayenenji.
And I wish that those who disturb you would be torn away.
13 Mmanganyanji ashaalongo ajangunji, kunshemwilwenje kuungwana. Ikabheje gwene ungwanago unabhe shiumilo sha mundu kukagulila indu yapinga nyene, ikabhe nnjangutane kwa pingana.
For you, brothers, have been called to liberty. Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead, serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.
14 Pabha shalia yowe ya a Musha ishikamulilwa na lilobhe limo, numbe alino. “Mumpinje nnongo nnjenu malinga shinkwiipinga mmayene.”
For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
15 Ikabheje nnumanangaga na taunana malinga bhannyama, mwiteiganje nnabhulagananga mwashaayenenji!
But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another!
16 Bhai nguti nnei, itendi yenunji ilongoywe naka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, penepo nkakagulilanga ilokoli ya shiilu.
So then, I say: Walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.
17 Pabha ilokoli ya shiilu inakanana naka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, najwalakwe Mbumu anakanana na ilokoli ya shiilu, pabha yenei inakanana, nikuntendanga nnakombolanje tenda inkupinganga.
For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And since these are against one another, you may not do whatever you want.
18 Ikabheje nnongoywangaga naka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, bhai nkalongoywanga kabhili na Shalia ja a Musha.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Bhai itendi ya shiilu ilimanyika numbe ni aino, kulabhalabha na jajaatika na kwetela,
Now the works of the flesh are manifest; they are: fornication, lust, homosexuality, self-indulgence,
20 kutindibhalila yanamu na uwabhi na lupimililo na mpwai na shilokoli na nnjimwa na shienga na mitau na lekana
the serving of idols, drug use, hostility, contentiousness, jealousy, wrath, quarrels, dissensions, divisions,
21 shipepo na nnjimwa na kushumiya indu ya unami na kukolelwa na kudoka na itendi ina ilandana na yeneyo. Kwa yeneyo ngunakummalanjilanga shangupe, malinga shinammalanjilenje kuti, bhandu bhatendanga itendi ya nneyo, bhakajinjilanga muupalume gwa a Nnungu.
envy, murder, inebriation, carousing, and similar things. About these things, I continue to preach to you, as I have preached to you: that those who act in this way shall not obtain the kingdom of God.
22 Ikabheje shiepo shika Mbumu jwa a Nnungu ni, kupingana na kuangalala na ulele na kwiiluma ntima na uguja na ntuka na kulupalika,
But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance,
23 kwiitimalika na kwiiluma ntima. Kupunda genega, jakwa Shalia ja a Musha jikanana na genega.
meekness, faith, modesty, abstinence, chastity. There is no law against such things.
24 Na bhalinginji na a Yeshu Kilishitu bhashilimbiyanga iilu yabhonji inakunde ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone na ilokoli ya nyata.
For those who are Christ’s have crucified their flesh, along with its vices and desires.
25 Tutamaga nkulongoywa na Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, na tukamule genego gutulongoywa naka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu.
If we live by the Spirit, we should also walk by the Spirit.
26 Bhai tunaipune akuno tulitandubhana na bhonelana.
Let us not become desirous of empty glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
