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?
Abhagalatia abhamumu, ni lisoki lijabhi linu lyabhanyamuye? Angu Yesu Kristo atelesibhwe lwo mubhambwa mu meso gemwe?
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?
Anye enenda okumenya gunu okusoka kwemwe. Angu mwalamiye Omwoyo mu bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo amwi kulwo kwikilisha jinu mwonguwe?
3 Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
Angu emwe muli bhamumu kutiki? Emwe mwambile mu mwoyo koleleki mumalishe mu mubhili?
4 Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
Emwe mwanyakile mu misango myanfu kutyela, jakabhee chimali jaliga ja kutyela?
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?
Angu oyo kasosha Omwoyo kwemwe no kukola ebhikolwa bhya managa mwimwe kakola mu bhilagilo amwi kulwo kungwa amwi no kwikilisha?
6 As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
Abrahamu “Ekilisishe Nyamuanga nabhalilwa kubha wo bhulengelesi”.
7 Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Kulwejo mumenye ati abho abhekilisha ni bhana bha Abrahamu.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Elyandiko lyalotele ati Nyamuanga akabhabhalie obhulengelesi abhanu bha maanga mu njila yo kwikilisha. Iinjili yalasibhwe okwamba ku Abrahamu: “mwawe amaanga gone abhesibhwa amabhando”.
9 Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
Koleleki mpola abho abhekilisha bhesibhwe amabhando lwa Abrahamu, unu aliga ali no kwikilisha.
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.
Abho abheikanya ebhikolwa bhye bhilagilo bhali emwalo ye chiimo. Kulwo kubha jandikilwe, “Eimilwe bhuli munu unu atagwatene ne misango jinu jandikilwe mu chitabho che bhilagilo, ojikola jone.”
11 But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
Wolyanu jili abhwelu ati Nyamuanga atakumubhalila obhulengelesi nolwo umwi kulwe bhilagilo, kwo kubha “Omulengelesi kekala kulwo kwikilisha”.
12 But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.
Echilagilo chitakusoka mu likilisha, mbe nawe “Unu kakola emisango ejo mu bhilagilo, kekala mu bhilagilo.”
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:
Kristo achigululuye eswe okusoka mu chiimo che bhilagilo mukatungu kanu akolelwe chiimo kulwe swe. Kwo kubha jandikilwe, “Afumilisibhwe bhuli munu unu kabhambwa kwiti.”
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.
Okene bhwaliga bhuli ati amabhando ganu galiga gali ku Ibrahimu gakejile ku bhanu bha maanga mu Kristo Yesu, koleleki chitule okulamila omulago gwo Mwoyo mu likilisha.
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.
Bhaili, eniloma mu chinyamubhili. Nolwo mu katungu kanu omulago gwo chinyamubhili gwamalile okulumatanyibhwa, atalio unu katula okugugaya nolwo okugwongesha.
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.
Wolyanu omulago gwaikilwe ku Ibrahimu no lwibhulo lwaye. Itakwaika, “ku nyibhulo,” okwelesha obhwanfu, kulyejo elesha ati ni umwi ela, “kulwo lwibhulo lwao,” unu ali Kristo.
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.
Wolyanu enaika ati, echilagilo echo chejile myaka 430 imbele, chitakusoshao lilagano lya inyuma linu lyateyweo na Nyamuanga.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Kwo kubha labha omwandu chibha gwijile mu njila ye bhilagilo, gutakejile lindi mu njila yo mulago. Nawe Nyamuanga agusosishe ku Ibrahimu kwa injila yo mulago.
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.
Okubhaki woli ebhilagilo bhyasosibhwe? Yaletelwe kulwe bhikayo, kukingila olwibhulo lwa Ibrahimu luje ku bhanu bhaliga bhalagilwe. Ebhilagilo bhyateyweo mu managa mu kubhoko kwo mugwatanya.
20 Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
Wolyanu omugwatanya eyelesha ingulu yo munu umwi, mbe nawe Nyamuanga ni umwi enyele ela.
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.
Kulwejo angu ebhilagilo bhitasikene no mulago gwa Nyamuanga? Na katyali uli! Lwa kutyo ebhilagilo bhyaliga bhisosibhwe bhwaliga no bhutulo bhwo kuleta obhuanga, obhulengelesi bhwakabhonekene mu bhilagilo.
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.
Mbe nawe, elyandiko libhoyele amagambo gone emwalo ye bhibhibhi. Nyamuanga akolele ati koleleki omulago gwaye ogwo kuchikisha eswe mu likilisha ku Yesu Kristo itule okubhonekana ku bhanu abhekilisha.
23 But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
Mbe nawe anu elikilisha lyaliga lichali kuja elya Kristo, chaliga chibhoyelwe chili emwalo ye bhilagilo kukingila okuja kwe likilisha.
24 Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Ku lwejo ebhilagilo bhyakolelwe mutangasha weswe kukingila Kristo anu ejile, koleleki chibhalilwe obhulengelesi kulwo kwikilisha.
25 But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
Mbe woli kwo kubha elikilisha lyejile, chitachali emwalo yo mwangalisi.
26 For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
Kwo kubha emwe bhone muli bhana bha Nyamuanga mu kwikilisha mu njila ya Kristo Yesu.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.
Bhone bhanu mubhatijibhwe mu Kristo mwifafishe Kristo.
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.
Atalio Muyaudi nolwo Muyunani, mugaya nolwo huru, mulume nolwo mugasi, kwo kubha emwe bhone muli umwi mu Kristo Yesu.
29 And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
Labha emwe muli bha Kristo, mbe muli lwibhulo lwa Ibrahimu, abhali bhwo mwandu lwa kutyo omulago ogwaika.
