< Galatians 5 >

1 Nítorí náà, ẹ dúró ṣinṣin nínú òmìnira náà èyí tí Kristi fi sọ wá di òmìnira, kí ẹ má sì ṣe tún fi ọrùn bọ̀ àjàgà ẹrú mọ́.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage.
2 Kíyèsi i, èmi Paulu ni ó wí fún yín pé, bí a bá kọ yín nílà abẹ́, Kristi kì yóò lérè fún yín ní ohunkóhun.
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 Mo sì tún sọ fún olúkúlùkù ènìyàn tí a kọ ní ilà pé, ó di ajigbèsè láti pa gbogbo òfin mọ́.
And I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to the whole law.
4 A ti yà yín kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Kristi, ẹ̀yin tí ń fẹ́ kí a dá yín láre nípa òfin; pé ẹ ti ṣubú kúrò nínú oore-ọ̀fẹ́.
Christ is become nothing to you, whosoever of you are seeking to be justified by the law: ye are fallen from the grace of the gospel.
5 Nítorí nípa Ẹ̀mí àwa ń fi ìgbàgbọ́ dúró de ìrètí òdodo.
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 Nítorí nínú Kristi Jesu, ìkọlà kò jẹ́ ohun kan, tàbí àìkọlà; ṣùgbọ́n ìgbàgbọ́ ti ń ṣiṣẹ́ nípa ìfẹ́.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.
7 Ẹ̀yin ti ń sáré dáradára. Ta ni dí yin lọ́wọ́ láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí òtítọ́?
Ye did run well: who hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 Ìyípadà yìí kò ti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó pè yín wá.
This persuasion came not from him that called you: but a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.
9 Ìwúkàrà díẹ̀ ní í mú gbogbo ìyẹ̀fun wú.
I have confidence in you however through the Lord,
10 Mo ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé sí yín nínú Olúwa pé, ẹ̀yin kì yóò ní èrò ohun mìíràn; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń yọ yín lẹ́nu yóò ru ìdájọ́ tirẹ̀, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó wù kí ó jẹ́.
that ye will not think otherwise: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgement, whosoever he be.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n, ará, bí èmi bá ń wàásù ìkọlà síbẹ̀, kín ni ìdí tí a fi ń ṣe inúnibíni sí mi síbẹ̀? Ǹjẹ́ ìkọ̀sẹ̀ àgbélébùú ti kúrò.
And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted by the Jews? for then the offence of the cross is ceased.
12 Èmi ìbá fẹ́ kí àwọn tí ń yọ yín lẹ́nu tilẹ̀ gé ẹ̀yà ara wọn kan kúrò.
I wish they were even cut off from your communion, that make such disturbance amongst you.
13 Nítorí a ti pè yín sí òmìnira, ará kìkì pé kí ẹ má ṣe lo òmìnira yín bí àǹfààní sípa ti ara, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa fi ìfẹ́ sin ọmọnìkejì yín.
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only abuse not this liberty for an occasion to indulge the flesh, but by mutual love serve one another.
14 Nítorí pé a kó gbogbo òfin já nínú èyí pé, “Ìwọ fẹ́ ọmọnìkejì rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ.”
For all the law is fulfilled in one precept, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin bá ń bu ara yín ṣán, tí ẹ sì ń jẹ ara yín run, ẹ kíyèsára kí ẹ má ṣe pa ara yín run.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not destroyed by one another.
16 Ǹjẹ́ mo ní, ẹ máa rìn nípa ti Ẹ̀mí, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì mú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ti ara ṣẹ.
I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the desire of the flesh:
17 Nítorí ti ara ń ṣe ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ lòdì sí Ẹ̀mí, àti Ẹ̀mí lòdì sí ara, àwọn wọ̀nyí sì lòdì sí ara wọn; kí ẹ má ba à lè ṣe ohun tí ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́.
for the flesh desireth things contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit things contrary to the flesh: and these are opposite to each other; so that ye do not those things which ye would.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n bí a bá ń ti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí ṣamọ̀nà yín, ẹ̀yin kò sí lábẹ́ òfin.
But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Ǹjẹ́ àwọn iṣẹ́ tí ara farahàn, tí í ṣe wọ̀nyí; panṣágà, àgbèrè, ìwà èérí, wọ̀bìà,
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, such as, adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
20 Ìbọ̀rìṣà, oṣó, ìkórìíra, ìjà, ìlara, ìbínú, ìmọ-tara-ẹni nìkan, ìyapa, ẹ̀kọ́ òdì.
lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strifes, emulations, animosities, contentions, divisions,
21 Àrankàn, ìpànìyàn, ìmutípara, ìréde òru, àti irú ìwọ̀nyí; àwọn ohun tí mo ń wí fún yín tẹ́lẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti wí fún yín tẹ́lẹ̀ rí pé, àwọn tí ń ṣe nǹkan báwọ̀nyí kì yóò jogún ìjọba Ọlọ́run.
heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also told you before, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n èso ti Ẹ̀mí ni ìfẹ́, ayọ̀, àlàáfíà, ìpamọ́ra, ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́, ìṣoore, ìgbàgbọ́,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
23 ìwà tútù, àti ìkóra-ẹni níjanu, òfin kan kò lòdì sí irú wọ̀nyí,
gentleness, goodness, fidelity, meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law.
24 Àwọn tí í ṣe ti Kristi Jesu ti kan ara wọn mọ́ àgbélébùú pẹ̀lú ìfẹ́ àti ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀.
And they, that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with it's passions and desires.
25 Bí àwa bá wà láààyè sípa ti Ẹ̀mí, ẹ jẹ́ kí a sì máa rìn nípa ti Ẹ̀mí.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí a máa ṣe ògo asán, kí a má mú ọmọnìkejì wa bínú, kí a má ṣe ìlara ọmọnìkejì wa.
Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
