Galatians 3
1 Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified?
OH Gálatas insensatos! ¿quién os fascinó, para no obedecer á la verdad, ante cuyos ojos Jesu-Cristo fué ya descrito [como] crucificado entre vosotros?
2 I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Esto solo quiero saber de vosotros: ¿Recibisteis el Espíritu por las obras de la ley, ó por el oir de la fé?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
¿Tan necios sois? ¿Habiendo comenzado por el Espíritu, ahora os perfeccionais por la carne?
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
¿Tantas cosas habeis padecido en vano? si empero en vano.
5 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?
Aquel, pues, que os daba el Espíritu; y obraba maravillas entre vosotros, ¿[hacíalo] por las obras de la ley, ó por el oir de la fé?
6 Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
Como Abraham creyó á Dios, y le fué imputado á justicia.
7 Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.
Sabeis por tanto que los que son de fé, los tales son hijos de Abraham.
8 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.”
Y viendo ántes la escritura, que Dios por la fé habia de justificar los Gentiles, evangelizó ántes á Abraham, [diciendo: ] En tí serán benditas todas las naciones.
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
Luego los de la fé son [los] benditos con el creyente Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
Porque todos los que son de las obras de la ley, están bajo de maldicion. Porque escrito está: Maldito todo aquel que no permaneciere en todas las cosas que están escritas en el libro de la ley para hacerlas.
11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
Mas por cuanto por la ley ninguno se justifica para con Dios, queda manifiesto: Que el justo por la fé vivirá.
12 The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
La ley tambien no es de la fé, sino: El hombre que los hiciere, vivirá en ellos.
13 Christ 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,”
Cristo nos redimió de la maldicion de la ley, hecho por nosotros maldicion; (porque está escrito: Maldito cualquiera que es colgado en madero: )
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Para que la bendicion de Abraham fuese sobre los Gentiles en Cristo Jesus; para que por la fé recibamos la promesa del Espíritu.
15 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.
Hermanos, hablo como hombre: Aunque un pacto [sea] de hombre, con todo [siendo] confirmado, nadie [lo] cancela, ó le añade.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He does not say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.
A Abraham fueron hechas las promesas, y á su simiente. No dice: Y á las simientes, como de muchos, sino como de uno. Y á tu simiente, la cual es Cristo.
17 Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
Esto pues digo: Que el contrato confirmado de Dios para con Cristo, la ley que fué hecha cuatrocientos y treinta años despues, no lo abroga, para invalidar la promesa.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
Porque si la herencia es por la ley, ya no [será] por la promesa; empero Dios por la promesa hizo la donacion á Abraham.
19 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.
¿Pues de qué [sirve] la ley? Fué puesta por causa de las rebeliones, hasta que viniese la simiente á quien fué hecha la promesa; ordenada [aquella] por los ángeles en la mano de un mediador.
20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
Y el mediador no es de uno, pero Dios es uno.
21 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.
Luego ¿la ley [es] contra las promesas de Dios? En ninguna manera: porque si la ley dada pudiera vivificar, la justicia fuera verdaderamente por la ley.
22 But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Mas encerró la escritura todo debajo de pecado, para que la promesa fuese dada á los creyentes por la fé de Jesu-Cristo.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Empero ántes que viniese la fé estábamos guardados debajo de la ley, encerrados para aquella fé que habia de ser descubierta.
24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
De manera que la ley nuestro ayo fué para [llevarnos] á Cristo, para que fuésemos justificados por la fé.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Mas venida la fé, ya no estamos debajo del ayo.
26 For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
Porque todos sois hijos de Dios por la fé en Cristo Jesus.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Porque todos los que habeis sido bautizados en Cristo, de Cristo estais vestidos.
28 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 Christ Jesus.
No hay Judío, ni Griego; no hay siervo, ni libre; no hay varon, ni hembra: porque todos vosotros sois uno en Cristo Jesus.
29 If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
Y si vosotros [sois] de Cristo, ciertamente la simiente de Abraham sois, y conforme á la promesa los herederos.
