Vagalatia 5
1 Kilisitu atilekekisi muuvanda, aganili tisigalila valekekeswa. Hinu ndi mkangamala kuyima ndi mkoto kuyidakila kavili kuvya pahi ya lingolingoli la uvanda.
In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free — stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;
2 Myuwanila! Ndi nene Pauli mwenijova na nyenye! Ngati muyidakili kudumuliwa jandu, Kilisitu yati iwonekana chindu lepi kwinu.
lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;
3 Nijova kavili hotohoto, mundu yoyoha mweiyidakila kudumula jandu yikumgana kuyidakila Malagizu goha ga Musa.
and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;
4 Ngati mwilinga kuhengewa gabwina mu njila ya malagizu, ndi mujibagwili kutali na Kilisitu, muvi kutali na ubwina wa Chapanga.
ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;
5 Nambu tete kwa upandi witu, tilindila kwa huvalila ya makakala ga Mpungu Msopi tukitiwa vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga mu njila ya sadika.
for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,
6 Ndava muni tiwungini na Kilisitu Yesu, kudumuliwa jandu amala changadumuliwa chindu lepi, chechiganikiwa sadika yeyilangiswa kwa kuganana.
for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.
7 Lugendu lwinu lwa bwina! Yani, hinu mweavabesili kuuyidakila uchakaka?
Ye were running well; who did hinder you — not to obey the truth?
8 Mweahengili chindu chenicho lepi Chapanga mweavakemili.
the obedience [is] not of him who is calling you!
9 “Mawuliwu aga ga udese ngati ngemeku yidebe lelitutumusa lilundu loha la uhembe,”
a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;
10 Ndava ya kuwungana kwitu nihuvalila pavaha kuvya nyenye nakuvya na usindimala wa namuna yingi. Ndi mundu yeyoha mweakuvang'aha yati iamuliwa na Chapanga.
I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
11 Nambu muupandi wangu, valongo vangu, ngati kwakona nikokosa kuwuya yikuvagana kudumuliwa jandu, ndava kyani hinu nakona ninyagiwa? Kuvya ago, makokosa gangu ndava ya msalaba wa Kilisitu yagileta mtahu.
And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;
12 Nilola chabwina vala vevakuvang'aha kudumuliwa jandu kwa makakala mbanga ngavajitenili vene!
O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!
13 Valongo vangu nyenye, mwakemeliwi mlekekeswa. Nambu kulekekeswa kwenuko kukoto kuvya chidetelu cha kulanda mnogo uhakau wemuvelikwi nawu, nambu yikuvagana kutumikila kwa uganu.
For ye — to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,
14 Muni malagizu goha gitimiliswa mukuyidakila amuli yeniyi yimonga, “Mgana muyaku ngati cheukujigana wamwene.”
for all the law in one word is fulfilled — in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'
15 Nambu ngati mdakulana na kulumana ngati hinyama ya kudahi mjiyangalila mkoto kuyongomesana vene kwa vene!
and if one another ye do bite and devour, see — that ye may not by one another be consumed.
16 Hinu nijova naha: Mpungu Msopi alongosa wumi winu, ndi mwavene nakulonda kavili mnogo wa pamulima.
And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;
17 Muni mnogo uhakau wipingana na maganu ga Mpungu Msopi, na maganu ga Mpungu Msopi wa Chapanga. Mambu gavili genago giwanangana lepi, ndava ya yeniyo nakuhotola kuhenga gala gemkugagana mwavene.
for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will — these ye may not do;
18 Nambu mwakalongoswa na Mpungu nakuvya kavili pahi ya ulongosi wa malagizu.
and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.
19 Hinu, matendu gegihuma na mnogo uhakau wa higa, ndi kukita ugoni na mambu gahakau kugana vindu vyamahele,
And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 kugundamila chimong'omong'o na uhavi na umakoko na luhonda na wihu ligoga na unotani, mhutanu na mpechenganu,
idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,
21 lingele na kugala uhutulu na mambu gangi gegiwanangana na ago. Nikuvajovela kavili genamali kujova, vandu vevihenga mambu ago vihala lepi Unkosi wa Chapanga.
envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.
22 Nambu mundu mweilongoswa na Mpungu wa Chapanga ivya na uganu na luheku na uteke na usindimala na ubwina na mtima wabwina na usadikika,
And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 ungolongondi na kujilongosa vene. Kawaka malagizu gegihotola kubesa mambu ago.
meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;
24 Ndi vala vevavi na Kilisitu Yesu vavambiwi pamonga na Kilisitu na kuleka mambu gahakau gavahengayi.
and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;
25 Mukutama kwa kulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi, ndi tihengayi gala geigana.
if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;
26 Hinu timekela na luhonda amala kulolelana wihu.
let us not become vain-glorious — one another provoking, one another envying!
