Galatians 3
1 O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?
Nou menm moun peyi Galasi, ala sòt nou sòt! Kilès nou kite pran tèt nou konsa, nou menm ki te konnen tout ti detay sou jan Kris la te mouri sou kwa a?
2 This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Mwen ta renmen nou reponn yon sèl ti keksyon sa a ban mwen: Eske se paske nou te fè tou sa lalwa a te mande kifè nou te resevwa Lespri Bondye a, osinon èske se paske nou te tande bon nouvèl la?
3 Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
Ki jan nou fè egare konsa? Nou konmanse ak pouvwa Lespri Bondye a, koulye a nou vle fini ak pwòp fòs kouraj nou?
4 Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
Eske se pou gremesi nou te fè esperyans sa yo? Non, se pa vre, se pa ka pou gremesi.
5 He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you; doth he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?
Lè Bondye ban nou Lespri l', lè li fè mirak sa yo nan mitan nou, èske li fè sa paske nou fè sa lalwa mande, osinon paske nou mete konfyans nou nan li lè nou tande bon nouvèl la?
6 As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la menm: Abraram te mete konfyans li nan Bondye. Se poutèt sa Bondye te fè l' gras.
7 Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Konsa, se pou nou konprann sa byen: Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Bondye, se yo menm ki pitit Abraram.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Moun ki te ekri nan Liv la te wè davans Bondye t'ap fè moun ki pa jwif yo gras tou poutèt konfyans yo ta gen nan li. Se konsa li bay Abraram bon nouvèl sa a davans tou: Gremesi ou, tout nasyon sou latè va jwenn benediksyon.
9 Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
Se paske Abraram te mete konfyans li nan Bondye kifè Bondye te beni li. Konsa, tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Bondye va resevwa benediksyon Bondye a ansanm ak Abraram.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one, that abideth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Moun ki mete nan lide yo lalwa a ka sove yo, yo anba madichon. Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Madichon pou tout moun ki pa fè tou sa ki ekri nan Liv lalwa a tout tan.
11 But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
Lalwa pa kapab fè Bondye fè pesonn gras. Se bagay ki klè. Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Moun Bondye fè gras paske yo gen konfyans nan li, se yo menm ki va gen lavi.
12 But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.
Lalwa pa gen anyen pou l' wè ak lafwa. Okontrè, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Moun k'ap fè tou sa lalwa mande a va jwenn lavi ladan l'.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Kris la delivre nou anba madichon lalwa lè li te pran madichon an nan plas nou. Se konsa sa te ekri nan Liv la: Madichon pou moun yo pandye sou bwa a.
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
Sa te fèt konsa pou moun ki pa jwif yo te ka rive resevwa benediksyon Bondye te pwomèt Abraram lan gremesi Jezikri, pou nou tout te ka resevwa Lespri Bondye te pwomèt la, paske nou te mete konfyans nou nan li.
15 Brethren (I speak after the manner of man, ) yet a man’s testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth, nor addeth to it.
Frè m' yo, mwen pral pran egzanp sou yon bagay ki rive chak jou: Lè yon moun fè testaman l' byen fèt, pesonn pa ka kase l', ni pesonn pa ka ajoute anyen ladan li.
16 To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Enben, Bondye te fè pwomès sa yo pou Abraram ak pitit pitit li a. Yo pa t' ekri: ak pitit pitit li yo, tankou si yo te vle pale sou anpil moun, men yo ekri: ak pitit pitit ou a. Yo t'ap pale sou yon sèl moun, moun sa a se te Kris la.
17 Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.
Men sa mwen vle di: Bondye te fè testaman sa a, epi li te pwomèt li t'ap kenbe li. Lalwa a menm te vini katsantrant (430) an apre sa. Se sak fè, lalwa a pa kapab kase testaman sa a, ni li pa kapab fè pwomès la tonbe.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Paske, si kado Bondye bay la te chita sou lalwa Moyiz la, se pa ta yon pwomès ankò kado a ta ye. Men, Bondye te bay Abraram favè sa a paske li te pwomèt li sa.
19 Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Poukisa yo te bay lalwa a menm? Yo te ajoute lalwa a pou l' te ka fè nou konnen bagay ki kont volonte Bondye. Lalwa a te fèt pou l' te la toutotan pitit pitit Abraram lan pa t' ankò vini, paske se pou li Bondye te fè pwomès la. Se zanj Bondye yo ki te bay lalwa, epi se yon nonm ki te sèvi entèmedyè.
20 Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
Lè yon moun pou kont li, li pa bezwen entèmedyè. Bondye pou kont li.
21 Was the law then against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.
Eske lalwa Moyiz la kont pwomès Bondye yo? Men non. Si zanj yo te bay yon lalwa ki te kapab bay moun lavi, enben, lalwa sa a ta kapab fè Bondye fè moun gras.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
Men, Liv la di: Tout bagay anba pouvwa peche a. Konsa, moun ki gen lafwa, se yo ki va resevwa kado Bondye te pwomèt yo, paske yo te mete konfyans yo nan Jezikri.
23 But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
Anvan lè a te rive pou n' te ka gen konfyans, lalwa te kenbe nou prizonye anba men l', jouk tan pou Bondye te devwale kalite konfyans sa a.
24 Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Konsa, lalwa te tankou yon moun ki la pou veye nou, jouk lè Kris la te gen pou vini pou n' te ka kwè nan li pou Bondye te fè nou gras.
25 But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
Men koulye a, lè a rive pou nou gen konfyans nan Kris la; nou pa anba men moun ki t'ap veye nou an ankò.
26 For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
Se paske nou gen konfyans nan Jezikri kifè nou se pitit Bondye.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.
Nou tout, nou te resevwa batèm pou n' te ka viv ansanm ak Kris la, nou mete sou nou kalite ki nan Kris yo.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Koulye a pa gen diferans ant moun ki jwif ak moun ki pa jwif, pa gen diferans ant moun ki esklav ak moun ki pa esklav, ant fanm ak gason. Nou tout nou fè yonn nan Jezikri.
29 And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
Si ou se moun Kris la, enben ou se pitit pitit Abraram. Ou gen pou resevwa eritaj Bondye te pwomèt la.
