1Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
1¶ 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.
2Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
2Nana, tenei ahau, a Paora te mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kotia koutou, e kore koutou e whai pai i a te Karaiti.
3And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
3He whakaatu tuarua tenei naku ki nga tangata katoa e kotia ana, kua mau ratou i te ture kia mahia katoatia.
4Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
4Kua 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.
5For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
5Ko tatou hoki, na te Wairua ta tatou tatari ki te tika e tumanakohia atu nei, e ahu mai nei i te whakapono:
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
6I 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.
7Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
7I pai ta koutou oma; na wai koutou i whakaware, i kore ai koutou e rongo ki te pono?
8The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
8Ehara tenei whakaaro i te mea na te kaikaranga i a koutou.
9A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
9He iti te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa.
10*I* have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.
10E 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.
11But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
11Me 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.
12I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
12Pai kau ki ahau me i motuhia atu te hunga e whakararu na i a koutou.
13For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
13¶ 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.
14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
14E takoto topu ana hoki te ture katoa i roto i te kupu kotahi, ara, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.
15but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
15Ki te ngau ia koutou, ki te kai tetahi i tetahi, kia tupato kei pareho tetahi i tetahi.
16But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
16Ko taku kupu ia tenei, Haere i roto i te Wairua, a e kore e whakaritea e koutou te hiahia o te kikokiko.
17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;
17E 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.
18but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
18Ki te arahina ia koutou e te Wairua, kahore koutou i raro i te ture.
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
19Na e kitea ana nga mahi a te kikokiko, ara he moe tahae, he poke, he hiahia taikaha,
20idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
20He karakia whakapakoko, he makutu, he pakanga, he totohe, he hae, he riri, he wawahi, he wehewehe, he titore,
21envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.
21He 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.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
22Ko te hua ia o te Wairua, he aroha, he hari, he rangimarie, he manawanui, he ngawari, he ngakau pai, he whakapono,
23meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
23He ngakau mahaki, he ngakau kua taea te pehi: kahore he ture e riria ai enei mea.
24But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
24Ko te hunga ia o te Karaiti, kua ripekatia e ratou te kikokiko, me ona hihiritanga, me ona hiahia.
25If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.
25Ki te mea e ora ana tatou i roto i te Wairua, kia haere ano tatou i roto i te Wairua.
26Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
26Kei whaia e tatou te kororia huakore, te whakapataritari tetahi ki tetahi, te hae tetahi ki tetahi.
