Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
he nirbbodhā gālātilokāḥ, yuṣmākaṁ madhye kruśe hata iva yīśuḥ khrīṣṭo yuṣmākaṁ samakṣaṁ prakāśita āsīt ato yūyaṁ yathā satyaṁ vākyaṁ na gṛhlītha tathā kenāmuhyata?
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?
ahaṁ yuṣmattaḥ kathāmekāṁ jijñāse yūyam ātmānaṁ kenālabhadhvaṁ? vyavasthāpālanena kiṁ vā viśvāsavākyasya śravaṇena?
3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
yūyaṁ kim īdṛg abodhā yad ātmanā karmmārabhya śarīreṇa tat sādhayituṁ yatadhve?
4 Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
tarhi yuṣmākaṁ gurutaro duḥkhabhogaḥ kiṁ niṣphalo bhaviṣyati? kuphalayukto vā kiṁ bhaviṣyati?
5 Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
yo yuṣmabhyam ātmānaṁ dattavān yuṣmanmadhya āścaryyāṇi karmmāṇi ca sādhitavān sa kiṁ vyavasthāpālanena viśvāsavākyasya śravaṇena vā tat kṛtavān?
6 So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
likhitamāste, ibrāhīma īśvare vyaśvasīt sa ca viśvāsastasmai puṇyārthaṁ gaṇito babhūva,
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
ato ye viśvāsāśritāsta evebrāhīmaḥ santānā iti yuṣmābhi rjñāyatāṁ|
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.”
īśvaro bhinnajātīyān viśvāsena sapuṇyīkariṣyatīti pūrvvaṁ jñātvā śāstradātā pūrvvam ibrāhīmaṁ susaṁvādaṁ śrāvayana jagāda, tvatto bhinnajātīyāḥ sarvva āśiṣaṁ prāpsyantīti|
9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
ato ye viśvāsāśritāste viśvāsinebrāhīmā sārddham āśiṣaṁ labhante|
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.”
yāvanto lokā vyavasthāyāḥ karmmaṇyāśrayanti te sarvve śāpādhīnā bhavanti yato likhitamāste, yathā, "yaḥ kaścid etasya vyavasthāgranthasya sarvvavākyāni niścidraṁ na pālayati sa śapta iti|"
11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
īśvarasya sākṣāt ko'pi vyavasthayā sapuṇyo na bhavati tada vyaktaṁ yataḥ "puṇyavān mānavo viśvāsena jīviṣyatīti" śāstrīyaṁ vacaḥ|
12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
vyavasthā tu viśvāsasambandhinī na bhavati kintvetāni yaḥ pālayiṣyati sa eva tai rjīviṣyatītiniyamasambandhinī|
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.”
khrīṣṭo'smān parikrīya vyavasthāyāḥ śāpāt mocitavān yato'smākaṁ vinimayena sa svayaṁ śāpāspadamabhavat tadadhi likhitamāste, yathā, "yaḥ kaścit tarāvullambyate so'bhiśapta iti|"
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.
tasmād khrīṣṭena yīśunevrāhīma āśī rbhinnajātīyalokeṣu varttate tena vayaṁ pratijñātam ātmānaṁ viśvāsena labdhuṁ śaknumaḥ|
15 Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
he bhrātṛgaṇa mānuṣāṇāṁ rītyanusāreṇāhaṁ kathayāmi kenacit mānavena yo niyamo niracāyi tasya vikṛti rvṛddhi rvā kenāpi na kriyate|
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.
parantvibrāhīme tasya santānāya ca pratijñāḥ prati śuśruvire tatra santānaśabdaṁ bahuvacanāntam abhūtvā tava santānāyetyekavacanāntaṁ babhūva sa ca santānaḥ khrīṣṭa eva|
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.
ataevāhaṁ vadāmi, īśvareṇa yo niyamaḥ purā khrīṣṭamadhi niracāyi tataḥ paraṁ triṁśadadhikacatuḥśatavatsareṣu gateṣu sthāpitā vyavasthā taṁ niyamaṁ nirarthakīkṛtya tadīyapratijñā loptuṁ na śaknoti|
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.
yasmāt sampadadhikāro yadi vyavasthayā bhavati tarhi pratijñayā na bhavati kintvīśvaraḥ pratijñayā tadadhikāritvam ibrāhīme 'dadāt|
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.
tarhi vyavasthā kimbhūtā? pratijñā yasmai pratiśrutā tasya santānasyāgamanaṁ yāvad vyabhicāranivāraṇārthaṁ vyavasthāpi dattā, sā ca dūtairājñāpitā madhyasthasya kare samarpitā ca|
20 A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
naikasya madhyastho vidyate kintvīśvara eka eva|
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.
tarhi vyavasthā kim īśvarasya pratijñānāṁ viruddhā? tanna bhavatu| yasmād yadi sā vyavasthā jīvanadānesamarthābhaviṣyat tarhi vyavasthayaiva puṇyalābho'bhaviṣyat|
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.
kintu yīśukhrīṣṭe yo viśvāsastatsambandhiyāḥ pratijñāyāḥ phalaṁ yad viśvāsilokebhyo dīyate tadarthaṁ śāstradātā sarvvān pāpādhīnān gaṇayati|
23 Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
ataeva viśvāsasyānāgatasamaye vayaṁ vyavasthādhīnāḥ santo viśvāsasyodayaṁ yāvad ruddhā ivārakṣyāmahe|
24 So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
itthaṁ vayaṁ yad viśvāsena sapuṇyībhavāmastadarthaṁ khrīṣṭasya samīpam asmān netuṁ vyavasthāgratho'smākaṁ vinetā babhūva|
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
kintvadhunāgate viśvāse vayaṁ tasya vineturanadhīnā abhavāma|
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
khrīṣṭe yīśau viśvasanāt sarvve yūyam īśvarasya santānā jātāḥ|
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
yūyaṁ yāvanto lokāḥ khrīṣṭe majjitā abhavata sarvve khrīṣṭaṁ parihitavantaḥ|
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
ato yuṣmanmadhye yihūdiyūnānino rdāsasvatantrayo ryoṣāpuruṣayośca ko'pi viśeṣo nāsti; sarvve yūyaṁ khrīṣṭe yīśāveka eva|
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
kiñca yūyaṁ yadi khrīṣṭasya bhavatha tarhi sutarām ibrāhīmaḥ santānāḥ pratijñayā sampadadhikāriṇaścādhve|
