Wagalatia 5
1 Ni kwa sababu Kristo alitupa uhuru ili tuwe huru. Hivyo, simameni imara wala msinaswe tena katika kongwa la utumwa.

2 Tazama, Mimi Paulo, ninawaambia kwamba ikiwa mtatahiriwa, Kristo hatawafaidia kwa njia yoyote ile.

3 Tena, namshuhudia kila mwanaume aliyetahiriwa kwamba anapaswa kuwajibika kwa sheria yote.

4 Mmetengwa mbali na Kristo, wale wote “mnaohesabiwa haki” kwa sheria. Mmeanguka mbali na neema.

5 Maana kwa njia ya Roho, kwa imani tunasubiri ujasiri wa haki.

6 Katika Kristo Yesu kutahiriwa au kutokutahiriwa hakuna maana yoyote. Ni imani pekee inayofanya kazi kupitia upendo ndiyo humaanisha kitu.

7 Mlikuwa mnapiga mbio vizuri. Nani aliwazuia kutokuitii kweli?
pUrvvaM yUyaM sundaram adhAvata kintvidAnIM kena bAdhAM prApya satyatAM na gR^ihlItha?
8 Ushawishi wa kufanya hivyo hautoki kwake yeye anayewaita ninyi.

9 Chachu kidogo huathiri donge zima.

10 Nina matumaini na ninyi katika Bwana kwamba hamtafikiri kwa njia nyingine yoyote. Yeyote yule atakayewapotosha atabeba hukumu yake yeye mwenyewe, yeyote yule.

11 Ndugu, kama naendelea kutangaza tohara, kwanini bado ninateswa? Kwa suala hilo kile ambacho ni kizuizi cha msalaba kitaweza kuharibiwa.
parantu he bhrAtaraH, yadyaham idAnIm api tvakChedaM prachArayeyaM tarhi kuta upadravaM bhu njiya? tatkR^ite krushaM nirbbAdham abhaviShyat|
12 Ni matakwa yangu kuwa wale wanaowaongoza vibaya watajihasi wenyewe.

13 Mungu amewaiteni ninyi, ndugu, kwenye uhuru. Ila msiutumie uhuru wenu kama fursa kwa mwili. Badala yake kwa upendo mhudumiane ninyi kwa ninyi.

14 Kwa kuwa sheria yote imekamilika katika amri moja; nayo ni “Ni lazima umpende jirani yako kama wewe mwenyewe.”
yasmAt tvaM samIpavAsini svavat prema kuryyA ityekAj nA kR^itsnAyA vyavasthAyAH sArasaMgrahaH|
15 Lakini kama mkiumana na kulana, jiangalieni kwamba msijiharibu ninyi kwa ninyi.

16 Nasema, tembeeni kwa roho, na wala hamtazitimiza tamaa za mwili.
ahaM bravImi yUyam AtmikAchAraM kuruta shArIrikAbhilAShaM mA pUrayata|
17 Kwa kuwa mwili una tamaa kubwa dhidi ya Roho, na Roho ina tamaa kubwa dhidi ya mwili. Hizi zinapingana kila moja na nyingine. Matokeo ni kwamba hamfanyi vitu mnavyotamani kuvifanya.

18 Lakini kama Roho anawaongoza ninyi, hamko chini ya sheria.

19 Sasa matendo ya mwili yanaonekana. Nayo ni uasherati, uchafu, ufisadi,
aparaM paradAragamanaM veshyAgamanam ashuchitA kAmukatA pratimApUjanam
20 ibada ya sanamu, uchawi, uadui, ugomvi, husuda, kuwaka hasira, ushindani, faraka, mgawanyiko wa madhehebu,

21 wivu, ulevi, ulafi na mambo mengine kama haya. Nawaonya ninyi, kama nilivyowaonya mwanzoni, kwamba wale wanaofanya mambo kama hayo hawataurithi ufalme wa Mungu.

22 Lakini tunda la Roho ni upendo, furaha, amani, uvumilivu, ukarimu, utu wema, imani,

23 upole, na kiasi. Hakuna sheria dhidi ya mambo kama hayo.

24 Wale walio wa Kristo Yesu wameusulubisha mwili pamoja na shauku na tamaa zao mbaya.

25 Kama tukiishi kwa Roho, pia tutembee kwa Roho.

26 Tusiwe wa kujivuna, tusichokozane kila mmoja na mwenzake, wala tusioneane wivu.
