Galatians 5
1 Christ set us free so we could have real freedom. So stand firm and don't get burdened down again by a yoke of slavery.
ⲁ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲁⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ. ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲁϩⲃⲉϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ·
2 Let me, Paul, tell you bluntly: if you rely on the way of circumcision, Christ will be of absolutely no benefit to you.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ.
3 Let me repeat: every man who is circumcised has to keep the whole of the law.
ⲅ̅ϯⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
4 Those of you who think you can be made right by the law are cut off from Christ—you have abandoned grace.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ.
5 For through the Spirit we trust and wait in hope to be made right.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
6 For in Christ Jesus being circumcised or uncircumcised doesn't achieve anything; it's only trust working through love that matters.
ⲋ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
7 You were doing so well! Who got in the way and prevented you from being convinced by the truth?
ⲍ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲏⲧ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲡⲉ. ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲉ.
8 This “persuasion” certainly isn't from the one who calls you.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
9 You only need a little bit of yeast to raise the whole batch of dough.
ⲑ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲃ ⲧⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲱϣⲙ̅ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϥⲓ.
10 I'm confident in the Lord that you won't change the way you think, and that the one who is confusing you will face the consequences, whoever he is.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲧⲏⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉϭⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲉⲧϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁϥⲓⲡⲉⲕⲣⲓⲙⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ·
11 As for me, brothers and sisters, if I were still advocating circumcision—why am I still persecuted? If that was true, it would remove the issue of the cross that offends people so much.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲉⲓⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲁϩⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲥⲉⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲉⲓ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅.
12 If only those who are causing you trouble would go even further than circumcision and castrate themselves!
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲁⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϭⲱϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅.
13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to freedom! Just don't use your freedom as an excuse to indulge your sinful human nature—instead serve one another in love.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ. ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
14 For the whole law is summed up in this one command, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲉⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕϩⲉ.
15 But if you attack and tear into one other, watch out that you don't completely destroy yourselves!
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲱⲕⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ. ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲱϫⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ·
16 My advice is to walk by the Spirit. Don't satisfy the desires of your sinful human nature.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲟⲕⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
17 For the desires of the sinful nature are opposed to the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are opposed to the sinful nature. They fight one another, so you don't do what you want to do.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲥⲉϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲁⲩ.
18 But if the Spirit leads you, you're not under the law.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ.
19 It's clear what the sinful human nature produces: sexual immorality, indecency, sensuality,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ. ⲛ̅ϫⲱϩⲙ̅. ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲱϥ.
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, rivalry, jealousy, anger, selfish ambition, dissension, heresy,
ⲕ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϫⲁϫⲉ. ⲛ̅ϯⲧⲱⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲕⲱϩ. ⲛ̅ϭⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϯⲧⲱⲛ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲣϫ. ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲓⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ.
21 envy, drunkenness, feasting, and similar things. As I warned you before so I warn you again: nobody who behaves like this will inherit the kingdom of God.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲗⲁ. ⲛ̅ϯϩⲉ. ⲛ̅ϫⲏⲣ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲛⲉϯϣⲣⲡ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲣⲡ̅ϫⲟⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ·
22 But the Spirit produces fruit such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trust,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ. ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
23 gentleness, self-control—and there's no law against these kinds of things!
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ. ⲧⲉⲅⲕⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed to the cross their sinful human nature, together with all their sinful passions and desires.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲑⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ.
25 If we live in the Spirit we should also walk in the Spirit.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲛϩ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲁϩⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅.
26 Let's not become boastful, or irritate and envy one another.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ. ⲉⲛⲡⲣⲟⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲉⲛⲫⲑⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
