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.

¹In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free — stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

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.

²lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

³He whakaatu tuarua tenei naku ki nga tangata katoa e kotia ana, kua mau ratou i te ture kia mahia katoatia.

³and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

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.

⁴ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

⁵Ko tatou hoki, na te Wairua ta tatou tatari ki te tika e tumanakohia atu nei, e ahu mai nei i te whakapono:

⁵for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,

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.

⁶for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

⁷I pai ta koutou oma; na wai koutou i whakaware, i kore ai koutou e rongo ki te pono?

⁷Ye were running well; who did hinder you — not to obey the truth?

⁸Ehara tenei whakaaro i te mea na te kaikaranga i a koutou.

⁸the obedience [is] not of him who is calling you!

⁹He iti te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa.

⁹a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;

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.

¹⁰I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

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.

¹¹And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;

¹²Pai kau ki ahau me i motuhia atu te hunga e whakararu na i a koutou.

¹²O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

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.

¹³For ye — to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,

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.

¹⁴for all the law in one word is fulfilled — in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;`

¹⁵Ki te ngau ia koutou, ki te kai tetahi i tetahi, kia tupato kei pareho tetahi i tetahi.

¹⁵and if one another ye do bite and devour, see — that ye may not by one another be consumed.

¹⁶Ko taku kupu ia tenei, Haere i roto i te Wairua, a e kore e whakaritea e koutou te hiahia o te kikokiko.

¹⁶And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;

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.

¹⁷for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will — these ye may not do;

¹⁸Ki te arahina ia koutou e te Wairua, kahore koutou i raro i te ture.

¹⁸and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.

¹⁹Na e kitea ana nga mahi a te kikokiko, ara he moe tahae, he poke, he hiahia taikaha,

¹⁹And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

²⁰He karakia whakapakoko, he makutu, he pakanga, he totohe, he hae, he riri, he wawahi, he wehewehe, he titore,

²⁰idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,

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.

²¹envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.

²²Ko te hua ia o te Wairua, he aroha, he hari, he rangimarie, he manawanui, he ngawari, he ngakau pai, he whakapono,

²²And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

²³He ngakau mahaki, he ngakau kua taea te pehi: kahore he ture e riria ai enei mea.

²³meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;

²⁴Ko te hunga ia o te Karaiti, kua ripekatia e ratou te kikokiko, me ona hihiritanga, me ona hiahia.

²⁴and those who are Christ`s, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

²⁵Ki te mea e ora ana tatou i roto i te Wairua, kia haere ano tatou i roto i te Wairua.

²⁵if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;

²⁶Kei whaia e tatou te kororia huakore, te whakapataritari tetahi ki tetahi, te hae tetahi ki tetahi.

²⁶let us not become vain-glorious — one another provoking, one another envying!
