Galatians 4
1 Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all;
Nambo une nguti yeleyi, juchajigale indu iŵagosele, aŵaga mwanache akuŵa mpela kapolo namuno ali nsyene ipanje.
2 but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father.
Katema kose ko jwelejo ali paasi pa ulamusi wa ŵandu ŵakunlela ni ŵakwajimilila ipanje yakwe mpaka katema kakaŵichikwe ni atatigwe.
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles of the world;
Iyoyo noweji patwaliji ngatukuumanyilila usyene twaliji achikapolo ŵa masoka gagakutawala pachilambo.
4 but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,
Nambo pakaichile katema kakaŵichikwe, Akunnungu ŵannajisye Mwanagwe, ŵaŵapagwile ni jwankongwe ni kulongoswa ni Malajisyo,
5 that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.
kuti ŵawombole aŵala ŵakulongoswa ni Malajisyo kuti uwe tukombole kutendekwa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
6 But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Ni pakuŵa ndi achiŵanagwe, Akunnungu ŵannajisye Mbumu jwa Mwanagwe mmitima jetu, Mbumu jwakuŵilanga, “Aba”, malumbo gakwe “Atati!”
7 So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.
Nipele mmwe nganimma kapolo sooni, nambo mwana ni pakuŵa mmwe ndi mwana, Akunnungu champe indu yose yaŵisile chilanga kwa achiŵanagwe.
8 But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;
Kalakala pamwaliji ngakwamanyilila Akunnungu, mwaliji achikapolo ŵa minungu jangalimate.
9 but now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage?
Nambo sambano nkwamanyilila Akunnungu pane nkumanyika ni Akunnungu, kwa chichi nkugaujilila sooni majiganyo gandanda gagali gakulepetela ni gamapunguchilwe? Nkusaka kugatumichila sooni?
10 Ye observe days and months and times and years.
Kwa chichi nkuchenjeuka ni kukamulisya masyoŵelelo genu ga moŵa ni miesi ni katema ni yaka?
11 I am afraid of you, lest indeed I have laboured in vain as to you.
Ngwete lipamba nkati ŵanyamwe, pakuŵa ikukomboleka kuti nalisawisye pangali chindu kwa ligongo lyenu.
12 Be as I [am], for I also [am] as ye, brethren, I beseech you: ye have not at all wronged me.
Achalongo achinjangu, ngunchondelela mmeje mpela une, pakuŵa namose une naliji mpela ŵanyamwe. Nganimumbanganyichisya ungalimate wauli wose.
13 But ye know that in weakness of the flesh I announced the glad tidings to you at the first;
Nkumanyilila kuti ulwele uwasimene wambele lipesa lya kunlalichila Ngani Jambone kaandanda.
14 and my temptation, which [was] in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
Namuno ulwele wangu waliji mpela malagasyo gamakulungwa kukwenu, nganimunyelusya namose kuungana, nambo mwambochele mpela katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Akunnungu ni mwambochele mpela nkumpochela Kilisito Yesu nsyene.
15 What then [was] your blessedness? for I bear you witness that, if possible, plucking out your own eyes ye would have given [them] to me.
Ŵanyamwe mwaliji ŵakusengwa! Sambano chinsimene chichi? Pakuŵa ngunsalila umboni usyene kuti pa moŵa gala ikakomboleche, nkatyosisye meeso genu ni kuumba une.
16 So I have become your enemy in speaking the truth to you?
Ana, une mele jwammagongo jwenu ligongo ngunsalila yaili ya usyene?
17 They are not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out [from us], that ye may be zealous after them.
Ŵele ŵandu akulosya kuti akunchenjeuchila ŵanyamwe, nambo nningwa wao nganiuŵa wambone. Ŵanyawo akusaka ŵanyamwe ni une tutindane kuti nkombole kwachenjeuchila.
18 But [it is] right to be zealous at all times in what is right, and not only when I am present with you —
Ili yambone kukola lung'wanu kupanganya indu yambone moŵa gose, ngaŵa katema pangutama ni ŵanyamwe pe.
19 my children, of whom I again travail in birth until Christ shall have been formed in you:
Achiŵanangu ŵangunnonyela, mpela jwankongwe yakuti pakukola chilungusi pakuligopola, none iyoyo, ngunkolela chilungusi sooni mpaka pachimme ni uŵele wa Kilisito nkati mwenu.
20 and I should wish to be present with you now, and change my voice, for I am perplexed as to you.
Ngasachile kuŵa nomwe sambano, kuti mechete ni ŵanyamwe kwa kulitimalika. Pakuŵa ngwete lipamba kwa ligongo lyenu.
21 Tell me, ye who are desirous of being under law, do ye not listen to the law?
Musalile ŵanyamwe ŵankusaka kulongoswa ni Malajisyo, ana ngankumanyilila igakuti kusala Malajisyo?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maid servant, and one of the free woman.
Ilembekwe muitabu ya Malajisyo kuti che Iblahimu ŵakwete achiŵanagwe ŵaŵili, jumo ŵapagwile ni jwankongwe kapolo ni jwine ŵapagwile ni ŵankwakwe juŵalombele.
23 But he [that was] of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he [that was] of the free woman through the promise.
Juŵapagwile ni jwankongwe kapolo jula ŵapagwile mpela yakuti pakupagwa ŵandu ŵane ni juŵapagwile ni ŵankwakwe jula ŵapagwile kwa chilanga cha Akunnungu.
24 Which things have an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to bondage, which is Hagar.
Maloŵe ga gali mpela chitagu, ŵele achakongwe ŵaŵili ali chitagu cha malangano gaŵili. Lilangano lyaandanda lili lyelila lilyatendekwe pa chitumbi cha Sinai lyalikungamba che Hajili ni achiŵanagwe ŵaŵapagwile mu ukapolo.
25 For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which [is] now, for she is in bondage with her children;
Che Hajili akulandanywa ni chitumbi cha Sinai chachili mu chilambo cha Alabia, nombe chili chitagu cha musi wa Yelusalemu ja sambano, pakuŵa weleu uli musi wauli mu ukapolo pamo ni ŵakutama mwelemo.
26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother.
Nambo Yelusalemu ja kwinani uli musi waulechelelwe, ni musi wo uli achikulu ŵetu.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than [those] of her that has a husband.
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Nsengwe, mmwe ŵangankuŵeleka, nlulute mmwe ŵanganimmeleche mwanache, Pakuŵa ŵanache ŵa jwankongwe jwalekangene ni ŵankwawo ali achajinji, kupunda ŵanache ŵa jwankongwe jwakwete ŵalume.”
28 But ye, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise.
Nipele achalongo achinjangu, ndi ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ŵampagwile kutyochela mu chilanga chao mpela yaili ku che Isaka.
29 But as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him [that was born] according to Spirit, so also [it is] now.
Nambo mpela ila moŵa gala, ajula mwanache juŵapagwile mpela yakuti pakupagwa ŵandu ŵane ŵanlagesye ajula juŵapagwile kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, iyoyo ni yaili mpaka sambano.
30 But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.
Nambo ana Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti uli? Gakuti, “Mumminje jwankongwe kapolo jo ni mwanagwe, ligongo mwanagwe kapolo ngaapochela yaigosekwe pamo ni mwanache jwa jwankongwe jwalechelelwe.”
31 So then, brethren, we are not maid servant's children, but [children] of the free woman.
Nipele achapwanga, uwe nganituŵa ŵanache ŵa jwankongwe kapolo jula, nambo tuli ŵanache ŵa jwankongwe jwalechelelwe.
