Galatiyawa 3

1 Biyi Galatiyawa ruru! Ahi nha ka meme mre yo ni yiwu? Ana Yesu Kristi wa ba kpa wu ni kunkro ba tsro ni shishi mbi na?

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been clearly set forth, crucified among you?

2 Mi son ndi mi toh kpe i he ni yi ni kangrji bi kpa Ibrji tsatsarka ni tu ndu doka, ko nitu njanji wa bi wo?

This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

3 Ruru mbi a gbugbuwu nakima? ni mumle bi kpa Ruhu ndindi'a, nakima zizan'a bi k'ma hi ni mi kpa.

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

4 Bi toh kpi gbugbuwu migyen, hra me a migyen?

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it is yet in vain.

5 To wawu wa a no yi Ruhu tsatsraka ni ndu bi ikoh ni tsutsu mbi, atie ni tu ndu tron, ko ni wo ni njanji?

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he this by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

6 Ibrahim a kpa njanji u Irji, u ba bla yo ni matsiyi ndindima,

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

7 Ni nkoh yi bi toh biwa ba kpa njanji, ba mri Ibrahim.

Know ye therefore that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 Itre Irji a guchi ya hi ni ko shishi ni njanji Irji ni kpa bi kora chu wo, ba du bi tre ni Ibrahim ni sen mu: Ni mi me bi kora wawu ba kpa lulu.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 Nakima bi wa ba kpa njanji ba bi lulu ni Ibrahim me wa wu'a hi njani.

So then they who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 Ba hla biwa ba kpa nyime ni ndu tron, ba nha zi ni mi imbe u tron, ndi ba hla indji wa ana kri nitu kpe wa ba nha ni mi imbe u tron na, kuma nda tie ba wawu'u na ani kpa mre meme ma.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 Zizan'a ahe ni kpan Irji na kpa ndji chuwo nitu tron na, naki indji u ndindi ni son nitu njanji.

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

12 Doka na rji ni mi njani na, nakima inde wawu wa asi tie kpie biyi ni mi tron, ani son ni mi tron.

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live by them.

13 Kristi a chu ta rju ni lah tron, nda k'ma tie na ba hla wu ni tu mbu, na ba nha zi'a, ba hla wa ba klo ni kunkro.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 Nakima lulu wa ahe ni mi Ibrahim aye ni bi kora nimi Kristi Yesu don duta kpa yo yiwu Ruhu ndindi nimi njanji.

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Mri yayi, mi si tre nitu ka'idodin di, inde indji ba kpanyime ba indji wa ani wru hlega ko baka sru tia.

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it is but a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no man setteth it aside, or addeth to it.

16 Zizan'a ba hla lulu ni Ibrahim baba kutra kahlan ma. Mina tre kahlan na ni mre gbugbuwu, nakima ahi riri ni kangrji ma ni kutra kahlan me wawu hi Kristi.

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

17 Zizan'a mi hla wayi itron wa aye ise 430 ni kogon ana wru chu yuu Ibrahim wa a hla ni sen mu.

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before by God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot set it aside, that it should make the promise of no effect.

18 Don inde gadon ye ni tron, nakima ana ye nitu chu yuu na. Nakima Irji a ban no Ibrahim migyen ni tu chu yu'u.

For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no more by promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 Angye sa ba no tron, ba sru tia ni tu lahtre, se kutra kahlan Ibrahim aye ni biwa ba chu yu'u ni bawu. Ba kaddamar ni gbengblen tron ni tu Maleku ni wo tsutsu.

What purpose then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

20 Zizan de u tsutsu ni yi nufi indji gbugbu'u ana riri na nakima Irji riri.

Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

21 Itron ani sen nyu'u ni chu yu'u Irji nakima? Ana he nakina! Inde ba no tron wa ani iya no dri, gbigbi ndindi ani ye ni tron i.

Is the law then against the promises of God? By no means: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 Nakima imbe a tsro kpi ba wawu'u ni mi lahtre. Irji tie kima du chu nyu ma u kpa chuwo mbu ni njanji nimi Yesu Kristi ano biwa ba kpa nyime.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 Nakima njanji nimi Almasihu aye, ba tro ta nda krju ta ni tron ye ni rah najinji.

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Nakima itron a guchi hra se Kristi a ye, du ba kpa ta chuwo ni njanji.

Therefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 Zizan njanji a ye, kina na lah he ni mi guchi.

But after faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26 Wawu'u mbi bi mri Irji ni njanji nimi Kristi Yesu.

For ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 Wawu'u mbi wa ba ngla yi nimi Kristi, ban Kristi sru ni kpa mbi.

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28 Bayahudi ni Bahelini ni gran ko wa ana gra na, ba lilon ka iwa, wawu mbi, bi riri me ni mi Kristi Yesu.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 Inde bi wu Kristi, bi u kutra kahlen Ibrahim kena, bi gado ni chu yu'u.

And if ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
