Bagalatiya 5
1 Klistu walatulubula kwambeti tube basunguluka nditu. Lino kamwimana cituloba mukusunguluka kwenu, kayi kamutasuminanga kusungwa mubusha.
In the freedom, then, with which Christ made you free—stand, and do not be held fast again by a yoke of servitude.
2 Lino kamunyumfwishisha, ame Paulo ndamwambilingeti mwasumina kumupalulwa ekwambeti Klistu liyawa ncito kuli njamwe napacepe sobwe.
Behold! I, Paul, say to you, that if you are [to be] circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing;
3 Kayi ndabweshengaponga kwambila muntu uliyense wapalulwa, kwambeti welela kukonkela Milawo yonse ya Mose.
and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;
4 Amwe mwense muleleshenga kuba balulama pakukonkela Milawo iyo, mulalifunyu mwenka kuli Klistu. Neco mulaba kunsa kwa kwinamoyo kwa Lesa.
you were voided from the Christ, you who are declared righteous in law; you fell away from grace;
5 Lino afwe kupembelela kwetu nikwakwambeti Lesa nakatululamike, ico encotulapembelelenga mungofu sha Mushimu Uswepa ulasebensenga kupitila mu lushomo lwetu.
for we by the Spirit, by faith, wait for a hope of righteousness,
6 Pakwinga pacindi mpotwekatana ne Klistu Yesu, kupalulwa nambi kutapalulwa byonse biliyawa ncito, cilayandikinga nikwambeti muntu abe ne lushomo ulo lukute kusebensa kupitila mu lusuno.
for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
7 Mwalikwinsa cena. Nomba walamukanisha niyani kukonka cancinencine? Nomba walacikonsha aconi kumukanisha?
You were running well; who hindered you [so as] not to obey the truth?
8 Ibi bintu walabinsa nteyo Lesa walamukuwa sobwe.
The persuasion [is] not of Him who is calling you!
9 “Tweshikufufumisha tung'anowa tukute kufufumusha shinkwa ense.”
A little leaven leavens the whole lump;
10 Ndashometi pacepo ca kwikatana ne Mwami nteshi mukabe ne miyeyo yapusana ne yakame. Nsombi muntu uliyense lamufulunganyanga nambi niyani, Lesa nakamupe cisubulo.
I have confidence in regard to you in the LORD that you will not be otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
11 Nomba ame mobanse bame, na mpitilisha kukambauketi kupalulwa kulayandikinga, nomba ndapengelenga cani? Makani awa nali akubinga ekwambeti kukambauka kwakame sha lusanda lwa Yesu nshinga ne kulabulunga kukalalishowa Bayuda.
And I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the Cross has been done away [with];
12 Ngankondwa kwambeti abo balamufulunganyanga kabatabowa bapalulwa, nsombi kwambeti babelimo ngomwa.
O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!
13 Lino amwe mobanse, Lesa walakuweti mube bantu basunguluka. Nsombi kamuchenjela kwambeti kusunguluka kwenu kakutaba mwakuyubila bwikalo bwenu bwa lunkumbwa lwakuyanda kwinsa byaipa. Nsombi amwe kamunyamfwananga mulusuno.
For you were called to freedom, brothers, only the freedom [is] not for an occasion to the flesh, but serve one another through the love,
14 Pakwinga Milawo ya Lesa yonse yalabikwa mu Mulawo umo usa wakwambeti, “Usune munobe mbuli ncolisuni omwine.”
for all the Law is fulfilled in one word—in this: “You will love your neighbor as yourself”;
15 Nomba na mutatika kulingana ne kulumana, mbuli banyama, cenjelani ngamupwa kushinana.
and if you bite and devour one another, see that you may not be consumed by one another.
16 Lino ncondambanga nici, lekani Mushimu Uswepa wendeleshe buyumi bwenu, mwenseco nteshi mukakonkele bintu bya lunkumbwa lwa bwikalo bwaipa bwa kusemwa nabo.
And I say, walk in the Spirit, and you may not fulfill the desire of the flesh;
17 Pakwinga bwikalo bwaipa bwa kusemwa nabo bukute kuyanda bintu Mushimu Uswepa mbyotasuni, kayi mbyosuni Mushimu Uswepa, bwikalo bwaipa bwakusemwa nabo nkaubisuni. Ibi bintu bibili byapelana cakwinseti nkamwela kwinsa bintu mbyomulandanga.
for the flesh desires contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed to one another, that the things that you may will—these you may not do;
18 Nsombi na Mushimu Uswepa eulamutangunininga nkamwela kubapo basha ba Milawo ya Mose sobwe.
and if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19 Lino bintu bya bwikalo bwaipa bwakusemwa nabo bikute kubonekela patuba. Bintu ibyo nibi; Bufule ne kwinsa byaipa, ne kutalikanisha
And the works of the flesh are also evident, which are: adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, licentiousness,
20 ne kukambilila tumbwanga ne buloshi ne kupatana ne kupusana ne minyono ne kupya moyo ne kulisuna ne kutekatishana ne kusalululana
idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strife, jealousy, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,
21 ne kukumbwila ne bucakolwa ne kwinsa byaipa pa malyalya kayi ne bintu nabimbi. Neco ndamucenjeshenga mbuli ncondalensa kendi, kwambeti bantu bakute kwinsa bintu byamushoboyu nteshi bakatambuleko Bwami bwa Lesa sobwe.
envyings, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22 Nomba bisepo bya Mushimu Uswepa nibi; Lusuno ne kukondwa ne lumuno ne moyonteka ne kwina moyo ne kwina ne kushomeka,
And the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 ne kubomba moyo kayi ne kulikanisha. Kuliyawa mulawo wela kubikanisha bintu ibi.
meekness, [and] self-control. Against such there is no law;
24 Abo bantu bakendi Yesu Klistu, bapopa pa lusanda bwikalo bwaipa bwakusemwa nabo pamo ne mbyokute kuyanda, kayi ne lunkumbwa lwaipa lonse.
and those who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the affections and the desires;
25 Mushimu Uswepa walatupa buyumi, neco katulekani wendeleshe buyumi bwetu.
if we may live in the Spirit, we may also walk in the Spirit;
26 Katutaba beshi kulitukumuna, nambi beshikukalalishana, nambi ba minyono umo ne munendi.
let us not become vainglorious—provoking one another, envying one another!
