1 S tand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Na te Karaiti i wewete te here i a tatou: na reira kia u te tu, kei mau hoki ki roto ki te ioka pononga.

2 I ndeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

Nana, tenei ahau, a Paora te mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kotia koutou, e kore koutou e whai pai i a te Karaiti.

3 A nd I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.

He whakaatu tuarua tenei naku ki nga tangata katoa e kotia ana, kua mau ratou i te ture kia mahia katoatia.

4 Y ou have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

Kua wehea atu koutou i a te Karaiti, e te hunga e whakatikaia ana e te ture, kua taka iho koutou i runga i te aroha noa.

5 F or we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Ko tatou hoki, na te Wairua ta tatou tatari ki te tika e tumanakohia atu nei, e ahu mai nei i te whakapono:

6 F or in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. Love Fulfills the Law

I roto hoki i a Karaiti Ihu kahore o te kotinga wahi, kahore o te kotingakore; engari ko te whakapono e mahi ana i runga i te aroha.

7 Y ou ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

I pai ta koutou oma; na wai koutou i whakaware, i kore ai koutou e rongo ki te pono?

8 T his persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.

Ehara tenei whakaaro i te mea na te kaikaranga i a koutou.

9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

He iti te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa.

10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

E whakapono ana ahau ki a koutou i roto i te Ariki, e kore e rere ke o koutou whakaaro: ko te kaiwhakararu ia i a koutou, ahakoa ko wai, mana ano tona whakawakanga e pikau.

11 A nd I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.

Me ahau ano, e oku teina, ki te mea he kauwhau tonu nei taku i te kotinga, he aha ahau ka whakatoia tonutia ai? penei kua kore to te ripeka tutukitanga waewae.

12 I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!

Pai kau ki ahau me i motuhia atu te hunga e whakararu na i a koutou.

13 F or you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Kua karangatia nei hoki koutou, e oku teina, ki te tikanga herekore; kaua ia ta koutou tikanga herekore e waiho hei whakaoho i te kikokiko, engari me mahi koutou tetahi ki tetahi i runga i te aroha.

14 F or all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

E takoto topu ana hoki te ture katoa i roto i te kupu kotahi, ara, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.

15 B ut if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Walking in the Spirit

Ki te ngau ia koutou, ki te kai tetahi i tetahi, kia tupato kei pareho tetahi i tetahi.

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Ko taku kupu ia tenei, Haere i roto i te Wairua, a e kore e whakaritea e koutou te hiahia o te kikokiko.

17 F or the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

E hiahia ana hoki te kikokiko tika ke i te Wairua, me te Wairua tika ke i te kikokiko: e whawhai ana hoki enei tetahi ki tetahi: te taea nga mea i hiahia ai koutou.

18 B ut if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Ki te arahina ia koutou e te Wairua, kahore koutou i raro i te ture.

19 N ow the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

Na e kitea ana nga mahi a te kikokiko, ara he moe tahae, he poke, he hiahia taikaha,

20 i dolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

He karakia whakapakoko, he makutu, he pakanga, he totohe, he hae, he riri, he wawahi, he wehewehe, he titore,

21 e nvy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

He hao, he haurangi, he kakai, me nga mea e rite ana ki enei: me korero wawe e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, me pera me taku i korero ai i mua, ko te hunga e mahi ana i nga mea penei, e kore e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

22 B ut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Ko te hua ia o te Wairua, he aroha, he hari, he rangimarie, he manawanui, he ngawari, he ngakau pai, he whakapono,

23 g entleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

He ngakau mahaki, he ngakau kua taea te pehi: kahore he ture e riria ai enei mea.

24 A nd those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Ko te hunga ia o te Karaiti, kua ripekatia e ratou te kikokiko, me ona hihiritanga, me ona hiahia.

25 I f we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Ki te mea e ora ana tatou i roto i te Wairua, kia haere ano tatou i roto i te Wairua.

26 L et us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Kei whaia e tatou te kororia huakore, te whakapataritari tetahi ki tetahi, te hae tetahi ki tetahi.
