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?

Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Yeshua the Messiah was openly portrayed among you as crucified?

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?

I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by 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 you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

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

Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed 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 who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

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

Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

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

Know therefore that those who are of faith are 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.

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”

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

So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the 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 a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the scroll of the Torah, 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.

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will 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.

The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will 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.

Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs 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 Messiah Yeshua, 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.

Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds 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 the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Messiah.

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

Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Messiah, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to 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 of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted 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.

Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by 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 between 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? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of 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 imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Yeshua the Messiah might be given to those who 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 in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

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

So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Messiah, that we might be justified by faith.

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

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

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

For you are all children of God, through faith in Messiah Yeshua.

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

For as many of you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah.

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 slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua.

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

If you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
