Bagalatia 5

1 Jalo he, Keresete o re golotse. Jaanong tlhomamisang gore lo nne lo golotswe mme lo seka lwa golegelwa lotlhe gape mo dikeetaneng tsa botlhanka tsa melao le mediro ya Sejuta.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

2 Ntheetsang ka tlhawaafalo, gonne se ga se dinyana: fa e le gore lo ikaegile mo go rupisiweng ebile lo tshegetsa melao ya Sejuta go lo siamisa mo Modimong, jalo Keresete ga a kake a lo boloka.

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

3 Ke ipoeletsa gape ka re: le fa e le mang yo o lekang go nna botsalano le Modimo ka go rupisiwa o tshwanetse go obamela molao mongwe le mongwe wa Sejuta malatsi otlhe e seng jalo a nyelele.

Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 Keresete ga a na thuso epe mo go lona fa lo ganelela mo go phimoleng molato wa lona kwa Modimong ka go tshegetsa melao eo: lo latlhegile mo tshegofatsong ya Modimo.

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

5 Mme rona ka thuso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo re ikaegile mo losong lwa ga Keresete go phimola dibe tsa rona le go re siamisa mo Modimong.

For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

6 Le gone rona ba Keresete a re neetseng botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ga go tlhokege gore re tshwenyege ka gore a re rupisitswe kgotsa nnyaa; kgotsa gore a re obamela mediro ya Sejuta kgotsa nnyaa; gonne gotlhe mo re go tlhokang ke tumelo e e dirang ka lorato.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.

7 Lo ne lo direla Modimo sentle thata. Yo o lo kgoreleditseng a lo busetsa kwa morago mo go saleng boammaaruri morago ke mang?

You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

8 Tota ga se Modimo o o dirileng jalo, gonne ke one o o lo bileditseng mo kgololesegong mo go Keresete.

This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

9 Mme motho a le mongwe fela yo o sa siamang mo gare ga lona o siamolola ba bangwe botlhe.

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

10 Ke ikanya Morena go lo busetsa mo go dumeleng jaaka ke dumela kaga dilo tse. Modimo o tlaa atlhola mosiamolodi yoo, le fa e ka ne e le mang, yo o ntseng a lo tshwenya ebile a lo tlhakatlhakanya ditlhogo.

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

11 Batho bangwe ba re Nna tota ke rera gore thupiso le melao ya Sejuta di tlhokega mo leanong la poloko. Jalo he, fa e le gore ke rerile jalo, ke ka bo ke sa tlhole ke bogisiwa, gonne molaetsa oo ga o kgopise ope. Lebaka le ke santseng ke bogisiwa ka lone, le supa gore ke santse ke rera poloko ka tumelo mo mokgorong wa ga Keresete a le nosi.

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

12 Ke eletsa fela gore baruti ba, ba ba batlang gore lo ikgaole ka go rupisiwa ba ikgaole mo go lona ba lo tlogele!

I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

13 Gonne bakaulengwe, lo neetswe kgololesego: e seng kgololesego ya go dira bosula, mme e leng kgololesego ya go ratana le go direlana.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

14 Gonne Molao otlhe o ka khutshwafalediwa mo taolong e e reng: “Rata ba bangwe jaaka o ithata.”

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

15 Mme fa mo boemong jwa gore lo supe kgolagano ya lorato mo go lona, malatsi otlhe lo buana bosula lo rumolana, itlhokomeleng! Itiseng mo go koafatsaneng.

But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you do not consume one another.

16 Ke lo gakolola gore lo obamele ditaolo tsa Mowa O O Boitshepo fela. O tlaa lo bolelela gore lo ye kae le gore lo dire eng; jalo ga lo na go dira dilo tse di sa siamang malatsi otlhe tse tlholego ya lona e e bosula e batlang lo di dira.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

17 Gonne ka tlholego re rata go dira dilo tse di bosula tse e leng gore ke dilo di sele fela mo dilong tse Mowa O O Boitshepo o re bolelelang gore re di dire; mme dilo tse di molemo tse re batlang go di dira fa Mowa O O Boitshepo o re kaela tsela ke dilo di sele mo dithatong tsa rona tsa tlholego. Dinonofo tse pedi tse, tse di mo go rona, di tsweletse ka go lwela go re laola, mme dikeletso tsa rona ga di a gololesega mo dikgatelelong tsa tsone.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

18 Mme fa lo gogwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo ga go sa tlhole go tlhokega gore lo ipateletse go obamela melao ya Sejuta.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Mme fa lo sala morago dithato tsa lona tse di bosula, matshelo a lona a tlaa ungwa maungo a a bosula a: megopolo e e leswe le keletso ya dithato tsa senama,

Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

20 go rapela medimo ya disetwa, mewa e e maswe (ke gore go kgothatsa tiriso ya badimo), kilo le go lwa, lefufa le kgakalo, go ikgagapela, dingongorego le go buana bosula, maikutlo a gore mongwe le mongwe o phoso fa e se ba ba mo setlhopheng sa gago fela, gape go tlaa nna thuto e e seng ya boammaaruri,

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

21 bopelotshetlha, go bolaya, botagwa, botlhapelwa le gotlhe fela moo. Mmang ke lo bolelele gape jaaka pele, gore le fa e le mang yo o tshelang botshelo jo bo ntseng jalo ga a kitla a rua bogosi jwa Modimo.

envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

22 Mme fa Mowa O O Boitshepo o laola matshelo a rona o tlaa ungwa loungo lwa mofuta o mo go rona: lorato, boitumelo, kagiso, bopelotelele, bopelonomi, bomolemo, boikanyego,

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

23 tshiamo le boitshwaro; mme fa ga gona kgogakgogano le melao ya Sejuta.

gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

24 Ba e leng ba ga Keresete ba kokotetse dithato tse di bosula tsa bone tsa tlholego mo mokgorong wa gagwe ba di bapola gone foo.

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

25 Fa e le gore jaanong re tshela ka nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo, a re gogweng ke Mowa O O Boitshepo mo tokololong nngwe le nngwe ya matshelo a rona.

If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

26 Mme ga re na go tlhokana le go ipatlela tlotlo le go itsege mo go gogelang kwa lefufeng le mo go tsholaneng ka dipelo.

Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
