Galatians 4
1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
Ikabheje nne nguti nnei, alishi abhaga akanabhe kula, pakwibhela malinga ntumwa, nkali ali nnyene indu yowe.
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
Ikabhe bhaagoyanga indu ika mwana na kunnela, mpaka pushigaishile mobha gabhishilwe na ainagwe.
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
Na uwe puyaliji nneyo peyo, putwaliji malinga bhana, nibha bhatumwa mmashili ga ikubho ya bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo.
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
Ikabheje gakaishileje mobha gubhapanjile a Nnungu, gubhantumile Mwana gwabho, abhelekwe na jwankongwe, gwatemi kwa Shalia ja a Musha,
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
nkupinga abhagombolanje bhene bhalinginji mmashili ga Shalia ja a Musha na uwe tubhe tubhana bha a Nnungu.
6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
Kwa nneyo mmanganyanji nnaino pabha nshibhanganga bhana bha a Nnungu, bhai a Nnungu bhashikuntuma Mbumu juka Mwana gwabho mmitima jetu, Mbumu ashema alinkuti, “Abha” Malombolelo gakwe, “Atati”.
7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Bhai monaga nneyo, mmwe nngabha mmatumwa kabhili, ikabhe mmana. Bhai ibhaga mmana, shimposhele yowe a Nnungu ibhaabhishilenje ashibhana bhabho.
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
Pabha bhukalago nkaamanyangaga a Nnungu, kwa nneyo mwashinkwaakamulilanga liengo ashimaoka bhalinginji nngabha a Nnungu bha kweli.
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
Bhai pabha nnaino mwamanyinji a Nnungu, eu tujile nnimanyikanga na a Nnungu, igala nkukombolanga bhuli kugabhujila kabhili majiganyo gangali ga mmbone nkupinga mmanganje bhatumwa kabhili?
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
Nnakagulilanga mobha na miei na malanga na yaka.
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
Nguna kwiijogopela kuti liengo lininkamulilenje linabha lyayoyo!
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
Ashaalongo ajangunji nguna kunshondelesheyanga mmanganje malinga nne gwangali kamulila shalia ya Shiyaudi kabhili, pabha na nne puni malinga mmanganyanji kwa nngatama nshalia ya Shiyaudi. Mwangandendelanga shindu shoshowe sha nyata.
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
Ikabhe mmumanyinji kuti gwantai nannungushiyenje Ngani ja Mmbone akuno nililwala.
14 That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you did not despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Mwashinkulingwanga kwa ligongo lya lwala kwangu, nkali nneyo mwanganyegayanga wala kungana, ikabhe nshinkumboshelanga malinga malaika jwa a Nnungu, eu malinga a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene.
15 What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
Shikoposhele nndi shantendilenje nnekanje nkali kuangalala kwenunnji? Pabha nne nguti nnei, gegala mobha gala kaliji nkaishoshiyenje nitenda indu kwa ligongo lyangu nne, nkakombolenje nkali kumba meyo genunji.
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Bhuli, nnaino njibha nampwai nnjenunji ga bheleketa ya kweli?
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
Bhene bhananji bhanakwiitemba kumpinganga, nngabha kwa kumpinjilanga ya mmbone. Ikabhe bhanaapinganga kunnekanyanga na nne, nkupinga mwaatendelanje liengo bhene bhanganyabho.
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
Ni shammbone mobha gowe kutenda ya mmbone, wala nngabha mobha gungubha na mmanganyanjipe.
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
Ashibhanangu, inamboteka malinga bhakongwe bhakwete shitumbo, nneyo peyo shingupotekwa kwa ligongo lyenunji mpaka pushinnandananje na a Kilishitu mmitima jenunji.
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Kaliji nnaino ngaaliji na mmanganyanji, nkamweninji shinguti bheleketa! Pabha ngunakola lipamba kwa ligongo lyenunji!
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do not you listen to the law?
Nnugulilanje mmanganyanji Mmagalatia, nkupinganga kagulila Shalia ja a Musha, bhuli, nkapilikananga shijilugula Shaliajo?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
Pabha ishijandikwa kuti, a Bhulaimu bhashinkukola bhana bhabhili, jumo abhelekwe na bhakongwe bhaliji bhatumwa bhabho, na jwabhili abhelekwe na akongobhabho.
23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
Mwana abhelekwe na bhakongwe bhaliji bhatumwa bhala, pabhelekwe nngabha kwa miadi jojowe ja a Nnungu, ikabhe mwana abhelekwe na akongobhabho, pabhelekwe kwa miadi na a Nnungu.
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
Genega gashibha nnandanyo, pabha bhene bhanabhakongwe bhabhilibha bhashibhanganga malinga malagano gabhili, limo kukoposhela kushitumbi sha Shinai, litepo lya a Ajili libhelekwele muutumwa.
25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
Pabha a Ajili pubhali malinga shitumbi sha ku Shinai sha ku Alabhia, gushilandana na ku Yelushalemu ja nnaino, pabha Shinai muuli muutumwa pamo na ashibhanagwe.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Kwa nneyo Yelushalemu ja kunani ja ungwana, numbe ni anyina bhetu.
27 For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who do not bear. Break out and shout, you who do not travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
Pabha ishijandikwa, “Mwinonyele mwe anannii, nkaabheleka bhana, nng'utiye lilobhe mwe nkanabhe kola shitumbo, pabha bhana bha bhakongwe bhaleshilwe, bhabhagwinjinji, kupunda bhakwete bhalume.”
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, na uwe ni bhana a Nnungu kwa ligongo ja miadi malinga ja a Ishaka.
29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Ikabheje ni malinga gene mobha gala, mwana abhelekwe na bhatumwa shanshimile jwene abhelekwe kwa Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, nneyo peyo shiili nnaino.
30 However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
Bhai majandiko gakuti bhuli? Gakuti “Mwaabhinganje bhakongwe bhatumwa naka mwana gwabho, pabha mwana jwa bhatumwa akaapata ulishi pamo naka mwana abhelekwe na bhakongwe bhangwana.”
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
Kwa nneyo ashaalongo ajangu, uwe nngabha bhana bha bhakongwe bhatumwa, ikabheje bhana bha bhakongwe bhangwana.
