Galatians 5
1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Kraịst emeela ka anyị pụọ nʼohu, nʼihi anyị inwere onwe anyị. Ya mere, gbalịanụ ịhụ na unu e nyeghị onwe unu nʼọnọdụ ohu ọzọ.
2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
Geenụ m ntị, mụ onwe m bụ Pọl na-agwa unu nke a. Ọ bụrụ na unu anabata obibi ugwu, Kraịst agaghị abara unu uru ọbụla.
3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Ka m kwuokwa ya ọzọ, onye ọbụla kweere ka e bie ya ugwu ji ụgwọ idebezu iwu niile ahụ.
4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
E kewapụla unu nʼebe Kraịst nọ, unu ndị a ga-agụnye na ndị ezi omume site nʼiwu. Unu adapụla nʼamara ya.
5 For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
Nʼihi na anyị onwe anyị nwere olileanya na site nʼike nke Mmụọ Nsọ, a ga-agụ anyị na ndị ezi omume site nʼokwukwe anyị.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
Nʼihi nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, obibi ugwu maọbụ ebighị ugwu abaghị uru. Ihe dị mkpa bụ okwukwe nke na-egosi onwe ya site nʼịhụnanya.
7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
Unu na-agbabu ọsọ nke ọma, onye gbochiri unu ikwenyere eziokwu ahụ?
8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
Ụdị nkwagide ahụ esiteghị nʼebe Onye ahụ kpọrọ unu bịa.
9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
Nwantịntị ihe na-eko achịcha na-eme ka ogbe ụtụ ọka a gwọrọ agwọ koo.
10 I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
Enwere m ntụkwasị obi nʼime Onyenwe anyị na unu agaghị eche echiche nʼụdị a ọzọ, ma ikpe ọmụma ga-adịrị onye ọbụla na-eduhie unu ọzọ.
11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
Ụmụnna m, ọ bụrụ nʼezie na m na-ekwusa mkpa obibi ugwu dị, gịnị mere e ji nọgide na-akpagbu m? Ọ bụrụ na m mee otu ahụ, ewepụla m ihe ọdachi ahụ dị nʼobe.
12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma ọ bụrụ na ndị ahụ na-esogbu unu ga-eme onwe ha ndị onozi.
13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
Nʼihi na e meela ka unu nwere onwe unu, ụmụnna m, ma unu ekwela ka mnwere onwe unu bụrụ ohere nye anụ ahụ unu, kama werenụ ịhụnanya na-agbara ibe unu odibo.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na a chịkọta iwu niile nʼotu, ihe iwu niile na-ekwu bụ nke a, “Na-ahụnụ ndị ọzọ nʼanya dịka unu si hụ onwe unu nʼanya.”
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
Ọ bụrụ na unu na-akọcha ibe unu, na-eji ọnụ unu na-ekwutọ ha, kpacharanụ anya ka unu hapụ ịla onwe unu nʼiyi.
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Ana m agwa unu nke a: na-adịnụ ndụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-achị, unu anọkwala nʼọchịchọ nke anụ ahụ.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
Nʼihi na ihe anụ ahụ chọrọ dị iche nʼihe Mmụọ Nsọ chọrọ. Ihe Mmụọ Nsọ chọrọ dịkwa iche nʼihe anụ ahụ chọrọ. Ịgba mgba dị nʼetiti ha na-eme ka ị hapụ inwe ike mee ihe ị chọrọ ime.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Ma ọ bụrụ na Mmụọ Nsọ na-edu unu, unu anọkwaghị nʼokpuru iwu.
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
Ugbu a, ọrụ nke anụ ahụ pụtara ihe: ịkwa iko, adịghị ọcha na agụụ ịkwa iko.
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
Ikpere arụsị, iri amụsụ, ibu iro nʼobi, na ịlụ ọgụ, ekworo na iwe, ịkpa iche iche, nkewa, ịhọ otu.
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.
Ịkpọ asị, igbu ọchụ, ịṅụbiga mmanya oke, oke oriri na ihe ndị ọzọ yiri ha. Ana m adọ unu aka na ntị dịka m gwara unu nʼoge gara aga, ndị na-eme ihe dị otu a agaghị abanye nʼalaeze Chineke.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
Ma mkpụrụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ bụ, ndụ ịhụnanya, na ọṅụ, na udo, na ogologo ntachiobi, na obiọma, na ịdị mma, na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi,
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
ịdị nwayọọ, na ijide onwe. Ọ dịkwaghị iwu na-emegide ihe ndị a.
24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
Ma ndị niile bụ ndị Kraịst Jisọs akpọgidela anụ ahụ ha, ya na ọchịchọ ha nʼelu obe.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
Ọ bụrụ na anyị na-ebi ndụ mmụọ, ka nzọ ụkwụ anyị bụrụ nke mmụọ na-eduzi.
26 Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
Ka anyị ghara ịbụ ndị mpako si otu a na-akpali iwe na ekworo nʼetiti anyị.
