Galatians 4
1 But I say, that the heir, as long as he is a minor, differs in no respect from a servant, though he is owner of all;
nijova kuuti ulwakuva umwimilisi ghwe mwana, aling'ine nu m'bombi, nambe ulwakuva ghwe nyakyuma kyoni.
2 but is under guardians and managers till the time appointed by the father.
pe lino alipasi pavalolelesi kuhanga unsiki ghuno ghuvikilule nu viise ghwake.
3 So, also, we, when we were minors, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world.
pe pano najusue pano tulyale vaanha, tukakolelivue mu vuvombi vwa vutavike vwa kwanda vwa iisi.
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
neke unsiki ghuno ghunoghile yeghufikile, uNguluve akansung'ha unswambe, umuholua ghwa n'dala, umuholua mu ndaghilo.
5 that he might buy off those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption.
akavombile ndikio neke kukuvapoka vano valyale mundaghilo, neke kuti twupile mu sa kuuva hwene vaanha.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
ulwakuva umue muli vaanha, uNguluve akan'sung'ile uMhepo ghwa nswambe n'kate ja numbula siitu, uMhepo juno ikemhelua “Abba, Nhaata”.
7 So, then, you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, an heir also of God, through Christ.
mu ulu usue natulivavombi kange looli vaanha. ndeve ve vaanha pe tulivimilisi kukilila uNguluve.
8 But, then, because you knew not God, you were enslaved to those who, by nature, are not gods:
nambe unsiki ghuno namukan'kagwile uNguluve, mulywale vavombi ku vala vano muvwandilo naihwani fya Nguluve.
9 now, however, after having known God, rather indeed having been known by God, how is it that you are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments, to which you desire again to be in bondage, as at first?
neke lino ulwakuva mukun'kagula uNguluve, nambe kuuti mukagulika kwa Nguluve kiki mugomoka kange muvutavike uvuvotevote uvwa kwanda kange vusila lutalama? pe munoghelua kuva vavombi kanhe?
10 You observe days and months and times and years.
mukukikola ku vulolesi ikoghono ikitavike kukong'ana kwa mwesi, na maka. nikwoghopa vwimila jinu.
11 fear for you, lest I have bestowed labor upon you in vain.
nikwoghopa kuuti mu lumonga mukipumwisie vuvule.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; because I was as you are. You have injured me in nothing.
nikuvasuuma vanyalukolo muvisaghe ndavule nilivuo,
13 You know that through weakness of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first:
ulwakuva kange nili ndavule nilivuo. namukanihokie. pe mukagula kuuti, looli vulyale vutamy vwa m'bili kuuti nulyadalikile ilivangili kulyumue ulwa kwanda.
14 and my trial, which was in my flesh, you did not despise or loathe; but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
nambe uvwumi vwango vwa m'bili vulyale mu g'helo, namukanibenapwile nambe kukunikana. pepano mukanyipile hwene Mhepo ghwa Nguluve, ilyale hwene ghwe Kilisite jujuo.
15 How great, then, was your blessedness! For I testify for you, that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes, and have given them to me.
pe lino, muhovokela kiki? ulwakuva nikusagha kulyumue kuuti, ndejiwesekana muvusie amaaso ghinu na kukumhela une.
16 Have I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
neke lino pe nili mulugu ghwinu ulwakuva nikuvavula uvulweli?
17 They are ardently attached to you, but not honorably; indeed, they desire to exclude us, that you may be ardently attached to them.
vikuvalonda kwa kunoghua, kange navagholou. vilonda kukuvavika lubale nune, neke muvalutile.
18 It is honorable to be ardently attached always, in what is honorable, and not only when I am present with you.
ke kanono jaatu kuva nu lunoghelua ku vufumbue vuno vunono, nakwekuuti lwene pano milipalikimo nune looli ifighono fyoni.
19 My little children, for whom I again suffer the pains of gestation, till Christ be formed in you,
vanango vadebe nivavua uvutungu vwimila jiinu kange kuhanga uKilisite avumbike n'kate jiinu.
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am in doubt concerning you.
lino nale ninoghelua kuva palikimo numue na kusyetulania isavuti jango, ulwakuva nanili nu lutengano numue.
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not understand the law?
mumbule umue mwevano munoghua kuva pasi pa ndaghilo, namupulika kange indaghilo pano jiti?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons; one by a bondmaid, and one by a free woman.
ulwakuva jilembilue kuuti uAbulahamu alyale na vaanha vaviliavadimi, jumo kwa n'dala um'bombi nu junge kwa n'dala huru,
23 But the one by the bondmaid was born according to the flesh; the other, by the free woman, was by promise.
nambe nahele, ughwa akaholilue m'bombi akaholilue mu lwa m'bili lwene. loli jula ughwa n'dala huru akaholilue ku lufingo.
24 These things are allegorized: for these women are the two covenants; the one from the Mount Sinai that brings forth for bondage, which is Hagar.
isi ndeponu sijovua kwakutulila ikuhwani, ulwakuva avadla ava vilingana na mapuling'ano ghavili. ghamo kuhula ku kidunda Sinai. kihola avaanha vano avombi. uju ghwe Hajili.
25 For Hagar represents Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in bondage with her children.
lino uHajili kwe kidunda Sinai kino kili ku Arabuni. kiling'anisivua ni Yelusalemu ija lino, ulwakuva ve vavombi palikimo na vaanha vaake.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free; and she is the mother of us all.
pe iYelusalemu jino jili nkyanya jili huru, iji je mama jitu.
27 For it is written: Rejoice you barren, that do not bear: break forth and cry aloud, you that travail not: for many more are the children of the deserted, than of her that had the husband of the deserted.
ulwakuva jilembilue, “hovoka, uve ghwe n'dala juno naghuhola. tosia isavuti kukyanya na kuhovoka, uve ghwe juno numanyile kuhola. ulwakuva vinga ve vaanha va juno naihola, kukila vala vala vajuno ali numughosi.
28 We, indeed, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
lino vanyalukolo ndavule u Isaka, umue mulivaanha va lufingo,
29 But as then, he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was born according to the Spirit, so even now.
mu n'siki ghula ghuno umuunhu ghweni juno akaholilue ku vutavike vwa m'bili akampumwisie jula juno akaholilue ku vutavike vwa Mhepo. na lino vwe vulevule.
30 But what says the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free-woman.
amalembe ghiti ndani? m'busie un'dala um'bombi palikimo nu n'swambe. ulwakuva un'swambe ghwa n'dala um'bombi naililololela palikimo nu mwanha ghwa n'dala huru.'
31 Therefore, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free-woman.
pe lino vanyalukolo usue natuli vaanha va n'dala um'bombi, looli va n'dala huru.
