Galatians 3

1 O thoughtless Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been plainly set forth crucified?

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?

2 This only I wish to learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

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?

3 Are you so thoughtless? After having begun in Spirit, do you make an end in flesh?

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

4 Have you suffered so many things in vain? if, indeed, it be in vain.

Bi toh kpi gbugbuwu migyen, hra me a migyen?

5 He that supplies to you the Spirit, and works mighty deeds among you, does he this by works of law or by the hearing of faith?

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?

6 even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

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

7 Know, therefore, that those who are of faith are the sons of Abraham.

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

8 For the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached beforehand the gospel to Abraham, saying: In you shall all the nations be blessed.

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.

9 So, then, those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

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

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

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.

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

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

12 The law, indeed, is not of faith; but he that does these things shall live by them.

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

13 Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: )

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.

14 in order that the blessing of Abraham may come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

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

15 Brethren, I speak of things common among men: No one sets a covenant aside, or enjoins any thing additional after it is confirmed, though it be a man’s covenant.

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

16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring; he does not say: And to offsprings, as if he spoke of many; but as of one, And to your offspring, which is Christ.

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.

17 And this I affirm, that the covenant which had been before confirmed by God with respect to Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, could not annul so as to make the promise of no effect.

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

18 For if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise: but God bestowed it on Abraham by promise.

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.

19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added on account of transgressions, (till the offspring should come, to whom the promise was made, ) having been appointed through the service of angels, in the hand of a mediator.

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.

20 Now, a mediator for one is impossible; but God is one.

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

21 Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It can not be. For if a law had been given which could have given life, surely righteousness would have been by law.

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.

22 But the scripture has shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Christ Jesus may be given to those who believe.

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.

23 But before the faith came, we were kept under law, being shut up to the faith which was to be revealed.

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

24 So, then, the law was our pedagogue that led us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

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

25 But since the faith has come, we are no longer under a pedagogue:

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

26 for you are all the sons of God, by faith in Christ Jesus:

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

27 for as many of you as have been immersed into Christ, have put on Christ.

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

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondman nor freeman, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

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

29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s posterity, and heirs according to the promise.

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