1For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
1 Kirist a nu daggal sunu buumi njaam, ngir goreel nu. Kon dëgërleen ci seen ngor te bañ a delluwaat ci njaam.
2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
2 Dégluleen! Man Pool maa leen koy wax: bu ngeen itteelee xaraf, kon Kirist dootu leen jariñ dara.
3Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
3 Te maa ngi dellu di waxaat ne, képp kuy farataal xaraf, fàww nga sàmm lépp lu yoon wi santaane.
4Ye are severed from Christ, ye would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.
4 Yéen ñiy fexee jub fa kanam Yàlla ci kaw sàmm yoon, tàggalikoo ngeen ak Kirist; dëddu ngeen yiwu Yàlla.
5For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
5 Waaye njub, gi nu Yàlla dencal ëllëg, nu ngi koy séentu ci kaw ngëm ak ci ndimbalu Xelum Yàlla.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
6 Ndaxte bu nu bokkee ci Kirist Yeesu, xaraf ak bañ a xaraf, dara amu ci solo; li am solo mooy ngëm, giy jëf ci mbëggeel.
7Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?
7 Ni ngeen jógtee woon de baax na! Waaw ku leen dog, ba ngeen bañ a déggal dëgg?
8This persuasion [came] not of him that calleth you.
8 Li ñu leen xiir jógewul ci Yàlla, mi leen woo.
9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
9 Dees na ne: «Tuuti lawiir day tax tooyalu fariñ bépp funki.»
10I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
10 Waaye teewul Boroom bi jox na ma kóolute ci yéen. Biral na ma ne, dingeen bokk ak man xalaat. Léegi nag, kiy nëxal seen xel, ku mu man a doon, Yàlla dina ko mbugal.
11But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.
11 Man nag bokk yi, bu ma doon faaydaal xaraf ci sama waare, kon duñu ma fitnaale nii; te it li may yégle ci deewu Kirist ca bant ba dootul naqari kenn.
12I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.
12 Ñi farataal xaraf te di leen dëpp, nañu gën a sore ci seen réer: bu yaboo sax ñu dagg seen ngóora, ba dara du ci des!
13For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only [use] not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.
13 Yéen nag bokk yi, Yàlla woo na leen, ngeen nekk i gor. Waaye nag buleen ci sukkandiku, bay topp seen nafsu, waaye dimbaleenteleen ci kaw mbëggeel.
14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
14 Ndaxte yoon wépp, ndigal lii a ko tënk: «Nanga bëgg sa moroom, ni nga bëgge sa bopp.»
15But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
15 Waaye moytuleen! Bu ngeen dee màttante ak a lekkante, dingeen yàqante.
16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
16 Li ma leen di wax mooy lii: dundleen ci Xelum Yàlla, kon dungeen topp seen nafsu.
17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.
17 Ndaxte sunu nafsu am na ay bëgg-bëgg yu mengoowul ak yu Xelum Yàlla. Te Xelum Yàlla itam am na ay bëgg-bëgg yu mengoowul ak yu sunu nafsu. Ñoom ñaar dañoo juuyoo ci bépp fànn, ba tax lépp lu ngeen bëggoon a def, dungeen ko man.
18But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
18 Waaye bu ngeen toppee Xelum Yàlla, nekkatuleen ci kilifteefu yoon wi.
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19 Kuy topp sa nafsu, nii ngay jëfe: njaaloo, xalaat yu bon, def i ñaawteef ak say cér,
20idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,
20 xërëm, luxus, noonoo ak xuloo, ñeetaane, xadar, diiroo mbagg, féewaloo ak xaajaloo,
21envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
21 kiñaan, màndite ak xawaare ak yeneen yu ni mel. Léegi nag maa ngi leen di artu, ni ma ko defe woon: ñiy jëfe noonu duñu am cér ci nguuru Yàlla.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
22 Waaye li Xelu Yàlla mi di meññ mooy: mbëggeel, mbég, jàmm, muñ, laabiir, mbaax, kóllëre,
23meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.
23 lewetaay ak maandute. Yoon wi terewul yu ni mel.
24And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
24 Léegi ñi bokk nag ci Yeesu Kirist, daaj nañu seen nafsu ca bant ba, wacc ko fa, moom ak ay xemmemam ak ay bëgg-bëggam.
25If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.
25 Gannaaw nag nu ngi dund léegi ci Xelum Yàlla, kon nanu ko topp.
26Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
26 Bu nu tiitaru di dëkkante, di iñaanante.
