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 fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the 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 say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall 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.

For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, 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.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen 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 wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

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 Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by 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?

Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye 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 cometh not of him that calleth you.

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

A little leaven leaveneth 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 in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

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.

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

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 would they were even cut off which trouble you.

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

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

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

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

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 ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of 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.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil 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 lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

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 ye be led of the Spirit, ye 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 works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

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, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, 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.

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

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, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

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

Meekness, temperance: against such 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.

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections 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 in the Spirit, let us also walk in 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 us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
