Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
O Galaad yab i pia yama yaa ŋma bɔndi i nuga kaa ki bi baa kpa yesu?!
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?
Diimani mi bua buali ki bandi yaala: l tie yiko tuona nni kiden gaa foŋama bii l dandanli tundli?
3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
yima galati yaaba bii yanluom yoo yin den cili yeni u tienu fuoŋama nani mɔla yi baa ki juodi yeni yi ya muandli.
4 Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
Yin den la ya yema l dandanli nni naani lden tie fanma fanma po yoo laa tie fanma fanma po kaa
5 Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
U tienu yua puuni u foŋam ki tieni isiiga m banciama yeni o tiendi la kelima i tiendi l balimaama n bil yaala bii? kelima i den gbadi o laabaaliŋamo ki daani.
6 So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
yi kpaagi mani Abraham po u den daani u Tienu ke u Tienu mo den cuadi opo la kiml tie tiegima
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
Mɔla l bua waani ki yaabi n pia l dandanli n tie Abraham puolipoŋuani.
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.”
I diani l den tuodi ki wani k u tienu baa saa bi nilamba po momɔni kilema bi dandanli po lan ya po u den tuodi ki wani Abrahameya laabaŋamo n tie na: «i nibuoli kuli baa l seli kelima a yapo.
9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
yeni ya pon daaani u Tienu naniAbrahami yeni baataani yeni o ki ba l seli.
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.”
Yaaba n dugi yiko tuona po ye ñɔpola nni kelima li diani «sola yua ke o yenma yeni u tuona ki tie nani li bali tili nni ṅ yedi maama».
11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
O baa kan baa i mɔmoni U Tienu nintuali kelima li bali maama yapo, o nimɔno baa ya ye ki fuo li dandanli yapo.
12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
Li balmaama naa taa yeni li dandanli, ama mi yedi«ya nilo ṅ tiendi likuli baa ya ye kelima li yapo».
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.”
Krisiti dn daa ki faabi ti yeni li balmaama ya ṇɔpola den tua ŋɔpola ti yapo, kelima li diani«sola yua ke bi jonni o ku daagu po kuli».
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.
Li den tua yeni ke bi nilanba baa Abrahama seli kelima Jesu krisiti yapo ke ti kuli baa U Tienu ṅ den puoni ti yaala kelima li dandanli yapo, lani ṅ tie fuoma.
15 Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
N kpiiba, cedi manni mi taa yaala n tiendi a nisaala siiga ki dogdi min bua yedi yaala. O nilo ya ŋaa ñɔbu bonli po, oba kuli kan borinla bi ki pugni li po.
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.
Mɔla, U Tienu den puoni Abrahama yeni o puoliŋuamu a ñɔpola. Laa o puoliŋuamu nani li tie boncianla yeni, ama yendi bebe yeni o puoliŋuani, lani ṅ tie krisiti.
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.
Songi mani min bua yedi yaala nne: U Tienu ṅ den bogni ki bili yaala ki puoni ke o bua kubi la yeni li balimaama yaama n den yuandi ki cuo kobina n bina piita puoli kan fidi ki cua yeni ñɔniamu ti po.
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.
U Tienu ŋalmani baadi kelima li libalmaama kubma yapo, lan go tie u ñɔniamu yapo yo ke U Tienu den puni Abrahama o ŋanbli.
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.
Lanwani be yapo ke li balimaama ye? Min den pundi ki dɔdgi bi niba tuonbiadi, U Tienu den niani u ñɔniamu yua yaapo n baa cua. Malekinba den dɔgdi ma.
20 A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
O candnbaalo kan ya ye niyendo baba yapo. Ama U Tienu wan tie yendo.
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.
Naani ke li balimaama nia yeni U Tienu ñɔniani bi? kalama. Li ya tie ke li den pia ya balmaama n baa fidi ki pa li miali, lanwani, li balmaama den baa fidi ki cua yeni li mɔmɔsaali.
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.
Ama i Diani dɔgdi ke bi nisaaliba kuli ye ti tuonbiadi buadi nni. Ama yaaba ṅ daani kuli ñ baa U Tienu ṅ niani ya ñɔnianu kelima li dandanli Jesu Krisiti yapo.
23 Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
Hali ke li dandanli maama daa den ki cua, li balmaama den kubi ti nani li kpaadidieli nni yeni hali ke U Tienu n baa dɔgdi ti laa dandanli.
24 So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Lanwani, li balmaama den tie nani o biyuolo yeni ki gobidi ki gedini Krisiti kani ke ti baa li mɔmonsaali kelima li dandanli yapo.
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
Mɔla ke li dandanli maama cua laa biyualo naa go die ti.
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Kelima yikuli tua U Tienu bijaba kelima li dandanli Jesu Krisiti nni yapo.
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Yinba, yaaba n den batisi Krisiti nni, yi la wani Krisiti nani i liadli yeni.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Bi gagidma naa go ye sufinba yeni nilanba siiga, i yonbi yeni yaaba n die bi yula siiga bi jaba yeni bi puoba siiga, kelima yikuli tie yenma Jesu Krisiti nni.
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
Yi ya tie Krisiti yaaba, i tie nani Abrahama puolŋuani ki baa baa U Tienu ṅ den niani yaa ŋalmani.
