5:1
Τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἡμᾶς Χριστὸς ἠλευθέρωσεν. στήκετε οὖν καὶ μὴ πάλιν ζυγῷ δουλίας ἐνέχεσθε.
State, et nolite iterum jugo servitutis contineri.
ቁሙ እንከ ወኢትሑሩ ዳግመ ውስተ አርዑተ ቅኔ።
Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
5:2
Ἴδε ἐγὼ Παῦλος λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε, Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει.
Ecce ego Paulus dico vobis : quoniam si circumcidamini, Christus vobis nihil proderit.
ናሁ አነ ጳውሎስ እብለክሙ እምከመ ትትገዘሩ በኀበ ክርስቶስ ኢይበቍዐክሙ ምንተኒ።
Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
5:3
μαρτύρομαι δὲ πάλιν παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ περιτεμνομένῳ ὅτι ὀφειλέτης ἐστὶν ὅλον τὸν νόμον ποιῆσαι.
Testificor autem rursus omni homini circumcidenti se, quoniam debitor est universae legis faciendae.
ወካዕበ አሰምዕ ለኵሉ ብእሲ ግዙር ከመ ይደልዎ ይግበር ኵሎ ሕገ ኦሪት።
Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
5:4
κατηργήθητε ἀπὸ Χριστοῦ οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε, τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε.
Evacuati estis a Christo, qui in lege justificamini : a gratia excidistis.
ተስዕርክሙ እምክርስቶስ እለ በኦሪት ተኀሥሡ ትጽደቁ ወወደቅሙ እምጸጋሁ።
You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
5:5
ἡμεῖς γὰρ πνεύματι ἐκ πίστεως ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.
Nos enim spiritu ex fide, spem justitiae exspectamus.
ወንሕነሰ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ወበአሚን ንሴፎ ንጽደቅ።
For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
5:6
ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ πίστις δι’ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη.
Nam in Christo Jesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet, neque praeputium : sed fides, quae per caritatem operatur.
እስመ በኀበ እግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ተገዝሮሂ ኢይበቍዕ ወኢተገዝሮሂ ኢያሰልጥ ዘእንበለ ዳእሙ በአሚን ወበተፋቅሮ።
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
5:7
Ἐτρέχετε καλῶς· τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψεν ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι;
Currebatis bene : quis vos impedivit veritati non obedire ?
ትካትሰ ሠናየ ሮጽክሙ።
You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
5:8
ἡ πεισμονὴ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς.
persuasio haec non est ex eo, qui vocat vos.
መኑ አዕቀፈክሙ ከመ ኢትእመኑ በጽድቅ እስመ ዝ ሩፀትክሙ ኢኮነ ኀበ ውእቱ ዘጸውዐክሙ።
This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
5:9
μικρὰ ζύμη ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ.
Modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit.
አኮኑ ኅዳጥ ብሑእ ብዙኀ ሐሪጸ ያብሕእ።
A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
5:10
ἐγὼ πέποιθα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο φρονήσετε· ὁ δὲ ταράσσων ὑμᾶς βαστάσει τὸ κρίμα, ὅστις ἐὰν ᾖ.
Ego confido in vobis in Domino, quod nihil aliud sapietis : qui autem conturbat vos, portabit judicium, quicumque est ille.
አንሰ ተአመንኩክሙ በእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ከመ ኢተኀልዩ ባዕደ ወዘሰ የሀውከክሙ ይጸውር ደይኖ መኑሂ ዘኮነ ከዊኖ።
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.
5:11
ἐγὼ δέ, ἀδελφοί, εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω, τί ἔτι διώκομαι; ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ.
Ego autem, fratres, si circumcisionem adhuc praedico : quid adhuc persecutionem patior ? ergo evacuatum est scandalum crucis.
ወአንሰ አኀውየ ለእመ ግዝረተ እሰብክ ዓዲ ለምንትኑ እንከ እዴገን ተስዕረኑ እንከ ትዕይርተ መስቀሉ ለክርስቶስ።
But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
5:12
ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς.
Utinam et abscindantur qui vos conturbant.
ርቱዕ ይንትጉ እለ የሀውኩክሙ።
I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
5:13
Ὑμεῖς γὰρ ἐπ’ ἐλευθερίᾳ ἐκλήθητε, ἀδελφοί· μόνον μὴ τὴν ἐλευθερίαν εἰς ἀφορμὴν τῇ σαρκί, ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης δουλεύετε ἀλλήλοις.
Vos enim in libertatem vocati estis, fratres : tantum ne libertatem in occasionem detis carnis, sed per caritatem Spiritus servite invicem.
ወአንትሙሰ ለግዕዛን ተጸዋዕክሙ አኀውየ ወዳእሙ ኢትግበሩ ላቲ ምክንያተ ለግዕዛንክሙ በፍትወተ ሥጋክሙ ወበተፋቅሮ ተቀነዩ ለቢጽክሙ።
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.
5:14
ὁ γὰρ πᾶς νόμος ἐν ἑνὶ λόγῳ πεπλήρωται, ἐν τῷ ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.
Omnis enim lex in uno sermone impletur : Diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
እስመ አሐዱ ቃል ይፌጽሞ ለኵሉ ሕግ አፍቅር ቢጸከ ከመ ነፍስከ።
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
5:15
εἰ δὲ ἀλλήλους δάκνετε καὶ κατεσθίετε, βλέπετε μὴ ὑπ’ ἀλλήλων ἀναλωθῆτε.
Quod si invicem mordetis, et comeditis : videte ne ab invicem consumamini.
ወእመሰ በበይናቲክሙ ትትባልዑ ወትትናሰኩ ተኃልቆ ተርፈክሙ።
But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
5:16
Λέγω δέ, πνεύματι περιπατεῖτε καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν σαρκὸς οὐ μὴ τελέσητε.
Dico autem : Spiritu ambulate, et desideria carnis non perficietis.
እብለክሙ በመንፈስ ሑሩ ወፍትወተ ሥጋክሙ ኢትግበሩ።
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
5:17
ἡ γὰρ σὰρξ ἐπιθυμεῖ κατὰ τοῦ πνεύματος, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα κατὰ τῆς σαρκός· ταῦτα γὰρ ἀλλήλοις ἀντίκειται, ἵνα μὴ ἃ ἐὰν θέλητε ταῦτα ποιῆτε.
Caro enim concupiscit adversus spiritum, spiritus autem adversus carnem : haec enim sibi invicem adversantur, ut non quaecumque vultis, illa faciatis.
እስመ ሥጋኒ ይፈቱ ዘኢይፈቱ መንፈስ ወመንፈስኒ ይፈቱ ዘኢይፈቱ ሥጋ ወይትኣበዩ በበይናቲሆሙ ከመ ኢትግበሩ ዘትፈቅዱ።
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.
5:18
εἰ δὲ πνεύματι ἄγεσθε, οὐκ ἐστὲ ὑπὸ νόμον.
Quod si Spiritu ducimini, non estis sub lege.
ወእመሰ ዘመንፈስ ትተልዉ ወፃእክሙ እምኦሪት።
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
5:19
φανερὰ δέ ἐστιν τὰ ἔργα τῆς σαρκός, ἅτινά ἐστιν πορνεία, ἀκαθαρσία, ἀσέλγεια,
Manifesta sunt autem opera carnis, quae sunt fornicatio, immunditia, impudicitia, luxuria,
ወይትዐወቅ ምግባሩ ለሥጋ ዝሙት ርኵስ ወምርዓት።
Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
5:20
εἰδωλολατρία, φαρμακεία, ἔχθραι, ἔρις, ζῆλος, θυμοί, ἐριθείαι, διχοστασίαι, αἱρέσεις,
idolorum servitus, veneficia, inimicitiae, contentiones, aemulationes, irae, rixae, dissensiones, sectae,
አጣዕዎ ሥራይ ጽልእ ትዝኅርት ትውዝፍት ቅንአት መዓት ኑፋቄ ተቃሕዎ ተሓምሞ ተቃትሎ ስክረት ወዘአምሳሊሁ ለዝንቱ።
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
5:21
φθόνοι, μέθαι, κῶμοι, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια τούτοις, ἃ προλέγω ὑμῖν καθὼς προεῖπον ὅτι οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντες βασιλείαν θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν.
invidiae, homicidia, ebrietates, comessationes, et his similia, quae praedico vobis, sicut praedixi : quoniam qui talia agunt, regnum Dei non consequentur.
በከመ አቅደምኩ ነጊሮተክሙ ዘዘንተ ይገብር ኢይሬኢ መንግሥተ እግዚአብሔር።
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.
5:22
ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη, χαρά, εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία, χρηστότης, ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις,
Fructus autem Spiritus est caritas, gaudium, pax, patientia, benignitas, bonitas, longanimitas,
ወፍሬሁሰ ለመንፈስ ቅዱስ ተፋቅሮ ፍሥሓ ሰላም ትዕግሥት ምጽዋት ኂሩት ሃይማኖት የውሀት ኢዘምዎት።
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
5:23
πραΰτης, ἐγκράτεια· κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος.
mansuetudo, fides, modestia, continentia, castitas. Adversus hujusmodi non est lex.
አልቦ ዘይኄይስ እምዝ ሕግ።
gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
5:24
οἱ δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σὺν τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις.
Qui autem sunt Christi, carnem suam crucifixerunt cum vitiis et concupiscentiis.
ወእለሰ በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ሰቀሉ ሥጋሆሙ ምስለ ፍትወት ወምስለ ኀጢአት።
Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
5:25
εἰ ζῶμεν πνεύματι, πνεύματι καὶ στοιχῶμεν.
Si Spiritu vivimus, Spiritu et ambulemus.
ወይእዜሰ በመንፈስ ንሕየው ወዘመንፈስ ንግበር።
If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
5:26
μὴ γινώμεθα κενόδοξοι, ἀλλήλους προκαλούμενοι, ἀλλήλοις φθονοῦντες.
Non efficiamur inanis gloriae cupidi, invicem provocantes, invicem invidentes.
ወኢንኩን ዝኁራነ ወኢትትሓመዩ በበይናቲክሙ ወኢትትኃሠሡ በበይናቲክሙ።
Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
