Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
| ܐܘ ܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܓܠܛܝܐ ܡܢܘ ܚܤܡ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܡܨܪ ܨܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܨܠܝܒ |
2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
| ܗܕܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܕܥ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܤܒܬܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܫܡܥܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ |
3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
| ܗܟܢܐ ܤܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܫܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܡܫܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ |
4 Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
| ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܝܩܐ ܤܝܒܪܬܘܢ ܘܐܫܬܘܦ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܩܐ |
5 Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
| ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܒܟܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܤܥܪ ܒܟܘܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܫܡܥܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ |
6 So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܬܚܫܒܬ ܠܗ ܠܙܕܝܩܘ |
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
| ܕܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ |
8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
| ܡܛܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܩܕܡ ܝܕܥ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܙܕܕܩܝܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܩܕܡ ܤܒܪ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܡܪ ܟܬܒܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܟ ܢܬܒܪܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ |
9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
| ܡܕܝܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܡܬܒܪܟܝܢ ܒܐܒܪܗܡ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ |
10 All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܟܠܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܟܠ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܢܐ |
11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
| ܕܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܐܢܫ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܕܐ ܓܠܝܐ ܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܢܚܐ |
12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
| ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܝܒܢ ܒܗ ܢܚܐ ܒܗܝܢ |
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
| ܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܙܒܢܢ ܡܢ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܚܠܦܝܢ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܟܠܡܢ ܕܡܬܬܠܐ ܒܩܝܤܐ |
14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
| ܕܒܥܡܡܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܘܪܟܬܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܚܢܢ ܢܤܒ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ |
15 Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
| ܐܚܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܤܠܐ ܐܘ ܡܫܚܠܦ ܒܗ ܡܕܡ |
16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
| ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܟ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܘܠܙܪܥܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܠܙܪܥܝܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܙܪܥܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܚܕ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
17 What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.
| ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܐܪܒܥ ܡܐܐ ܘܬܠܬܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܤܠܝܗ ܘܢܒܛܠ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ |
18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
| ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܝ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ |
19 Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.
| ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܤܛܝܢܘܬܐ ܐܬܬܘܤܦ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܙܪܥܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܗܘܐ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܗܘ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܒܝܕ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܨܥܝܐ |
20 A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
| ܡܨܥܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܗܘ |
21 Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
| ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܤ ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ |
22 But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
| ܐܠܐ ܚܒܫ ܟܬܒܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܬܚܝܬ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ |
23 Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
| ܥܕܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܐܬܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܟܕ ܚܒܝܫܝܢܢ ܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܬܓܠܝܘ |
24 So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
| ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܪܐܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܢܙܕܕܩ |
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
| ܟܕ ܐܬܬ ܕܝܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܬܪܐܐ |
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
| ܟܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡܕܬܘܢ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܒܫܬܘܢ |
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
| ܠܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܠܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܪ ܚܐܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܬܐ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܚܕ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
| ܘܐܢ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܟܝܠ ܙܪܥܗ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܝܪܬܐ ܒܡܘܠܟܢܐ |
