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.
Kale nga Kristo bwe yatufuula ab’eddembe, bwe mutyo munywerere mu ddembe eryo muleme kusibwa nate mu kikoligo ky’obuddu.
2 Let me, Paul, tell you bluntly: if you rely on the way of circumcision, Christ will be of absolutely no benefit to you.
Ka mbategeeze nze Pawulo: Bwe mukomolebwa, nga Kristo taliiko ky’abagasa.
3 Let me repeat: every man who is circumcised has to keep the whole of the law.
Era nziramu okutegeeza buli muntu akomolebwa nti alina ebbanja okutuukiriza amateeka gonna.
4 Those of you who think you can be made right by the law are cut off from Christ—you have abandoned grace.
Mwava mu Kristo mmwe abanoonya okufuna obutuukirivu olw’amateeka. Mwava mu kisa.
5 For through the Spirit we trust and wait in hope to be made right.
Kubanga ffe, ffe ku bw’Omwoyo olw’okukkiriza tulindirira n’essuubi obutuukirivu.
6 For in Christ Jesus being circumcised or uncircumcised doesn't achieve anything; it's only trust working through love that matters.
Kubanga mu Kristo Yesu, okukomolebwa oba obutakomolebwa, tekulina maanyi, wabula okukkiriza kukola olw’okwagala.
7 You were doing so well! Who got in the way and prevented you from being convinced by the truth?
Mwali mutambula bulungi. Ani eyabasendasenda n’abaggya ku kugondera amazima?
8 This “persuasion” certainly isn't from the one who calls you.
Okusendebwasendebwa okwo, si kw’oyo eyabayita.
9 You only need a little bit of yeast to raise the whole batch of dough.
Ekizimbulukusa ekitono kizimbulukusa ekitole kyonna.
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.
Mbeesiga mu Mukama waffe nga temujja kulowooza kintu kirala kyonna. Naye oyo abateganya alisalirwa omusango ne bw’aliba ani.
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.
Naye nze abooluganda, oba nga nkyayigiriza okukomolebwa, lwaki njigganyizibwa? Kale enkonge ey’omusaalaba evuddewo.
12 If only those who are causing you trouble would go even further than circumcision and castrate themselves!
Nnandyagadde abo abaabateganya beeraawe.
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.
Kubanga mmwe abooluganda mwayitibwa lwa ddembe, noolwekyo eddembe teribawa bbeetu kugoberera bya mubiri. Naye olw’okwagala buli omu abeerenga muweereza wa munne.
14 For the whole law is summed up in this one command, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Kubanga amateeka gonna gatuukirizibwa mu tteeka lino nti: “Yagalanga muntu munno nga bwe weeyagala wekka.”
15 But if you attack and tear into one other, watch out that you don't completely destroy yourselves!
Naye obanga muneneŋŋana mwegendereze muleme okwezikiriza.
16 My advice is to walk by the Spirit. Don't satisfy the desires of your sinful human nature.
Mbagamba nti, mutambulirenga mu Mwoyo, mu ngeri yonna, mulemenga kutuukiriza kwegomba kwa mubiri.
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.
Kubanga okwegomba kw’omubiri kulwanagana n’Omwoyo, n’Omwoyo n’alwanagana n’omubiri; kubanga bino byombi bikontana, mulemenga okukola bye mwagala.
18 But if the Spirit leads you, you're not under the law.
Naye bwe muluŋŋamizibwa Omwoyo, olwo nga temukyafugibwa mateeka.
19 It's clear what the sinful human nature produces: sexual immorality, indecency, sensuality,
Ebikolwa by’omubiri bya lwatu, bye bino: obwenzi, obukaba, obugwenyufu,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, rivalry, jealousy, anger, selfish ambition, dissension, heresy,
Okusinza bakatonda abalala, obufumu, obulabe, okuyomba, obuggya, obusungu, okwekuluntaza, okweyawula, okwesalamu,
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.
ettima, obutamiivu, ebinyumu, n’ebirala ebiri ng’ebyo. Ka mbategeeze nate nga bwe nasooka okubabuulira nti buli akola ebyo talina mugabo mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.
22 But the Spirit produces fruit such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trust,
Naye ebibala eby’Omwoyo bye bino: okwagala, essanyu, emirembe, obugumiikiriza, ekisa, obulungi, obwesigwa,
23 gentleness, self-control—and there's no law against these kinds of things!
obuwombeefu, okwefuga; awali ebyo tewali tteeka libiwakanya.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed to the cross their sinful human nature, together with all their sinful passions and desires.
N’abo aba Kristo Yesu baakomerera omubiri n’okwegomba kwagwo, n’omululu gwagwo.
25 If we live in the Spirit we should also walk in the Spirit.
Kale bwe tuba abalamu ku bw’Omwoyo, tugobererenga okuluŋŋamizibwa kw’Omwoyo.
26 Let's not become boastful, or irritate and envy one another.
Tulemenga okwemanya, n’okunyizaganya, n’okukwatiragananga obuggya.
