Galatians 3
1 O senseless Galatians, who has so fascinated you that you would not obey the truth, even though Jesus Christ has been presented before your eyes, crucified among you?
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 I wish to know only this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the 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 foolish that, though you began with the Spirit, you would now end with the 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 been suffering so much without a reason? If so, then it is in vain.
Bi toh kpi gbugbuwu migyen, hra me a migyen?
5 Therefore, does he who distributes the Spirit to you, and who works miracles among you, act by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the 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 It is just as it was written: “Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.”
Ibrahim a kpa njanji u Irji, u ba bla yo ni matsiyi ndindima,
7 Therefore, know that those who are of faith, these are the sons of Abraham.
Ni nkoh yi bi toh biwa ba kpa njanji, ba mri Ibrahim.
8 Thus Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold to Abraham: “All nations shall be blessed in you.”
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 And so, those who are of faith shall be 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 a curse. For it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things that have been written in the book of the Law, so as 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 And, since in the law no one is justified with God, this is manifest: “For the just man lives by faith.”
Zizan'a ahe ni kpan Irji na kpa ndji chuwo nitu tron na, naki indji u ndindi ni son nitu njanji.
12 But the law is not of faith; instead, “he who 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 redeemed us from the curse of the law, since he became a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is anyone who hangs from 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 This was so that the blessing of Abraham might reach the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, in order that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through 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 Brothers (I speak according to man), if a man’s testament has been confirmed, no one would reject it or add to it.
Mri yayi, mi si tre nitu ka'idodin di, inde indji ba kpanyime ba indji wa ani wru hlega ko baka sru tia.
16 The promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. He did not say, “and to descendents,” as if to many, but instead, as if to one, he said, “and to your offspring,” who 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 But I say this: the testament confirmed by God, which, after four hundred and thirty years became the Law, does not nullify, so as to make the promise empty.
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 is of the law, then it is no longer of the promise. But God bestowed it to Abraham through the 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 Why, then, was there a law? It was established because of transgressions, until the offspring would arrive, to whom he made the promise, ordained by Angels through 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 is not of one, yet God is one.
Zizan de u tsutsu ni yi nufi indji gbugbu'u ana riri na nakima Irji riri.
21 So then, was the law contrary to the promises of God? Let it not be so! For if a law had been given, which was able to give life, truly justice would be of the 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 Scripture has enclosed everything under sin, so that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might 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 arrived, we were preserved by being enclosed under the law, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
Nakima njanji nimi Almasihu aye, ba tro ta nda krju ta ni tron ye ni rah najinji.
24 And so the law was our guardian in Christ, in order 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 now that faith has arrived, we are no longer under a guardian.
Zizan njanji a ye, kina na lah he ni mi guchi.
26 For you are all sons of God, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Wawu'u mbi bi mri Irji ni njanji nimi Kristi Yesu.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have become clothed with 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 servant nor free; 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 are you the offspring of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
Inde bi wu Kristi, bi u kutra kahlen Ibrahim kena, bi gado ni chu yu'u.
