Galatians 4
1 Then I say, that the heire as long as hee is a childe, differeth nothing from a seruant, though he be Lord of all,
Ni wamba kuti ya te na yole chanda nji muhwile, iye kakwina ha chinchanela ni muhikana, ni hakuva kuti nji mwine wa chivaka chonse.
2 But is vnder tutours and gouernours, vntil the time appointed of the Father.
Ni hakuvavulyo, u siina mwikonde lya muvavaleli ni kusepwa kusikila inako i vatomwa kwe vesi.
3 Euen so, we when wee were children, were in bondage vnder the rudiments of the world.
Cwale ni iswe vulyo, ne tusili tuvahwile, tuvakwina muvuhikana bwe intuto zamulao we fasi.
4 But when the fulnesse of time was come, God sent forth his Sonne made of a woman, and made vnder the Lawe,
Kono inako yina hande haisika, Ireeza ni chatuma Mwanakwe, ya va pepwa kumwanakazi, ya vapepelwa mwikonde lya Mulao.
5 That hee might redeeme them which were vnder the Law, that we might receiue the adoption of the sonnes.
A vatendi vuti chamulao kulukulula a vo va vena muikonde lya mulao, kuti tuamuhele kuañulwa sina tuvana.
6 And because ye are sonnes, God hath sent foorth the Spirit of his Sonne into your heartes, which crieth, Abba, Father.
Kakuti muvana, Ireeza a vatumini Luhuho lwamwanakwe mwinkulo zetu, Luhuho lusumpa, “Abba, Ndanda!”
7 Wherefore, thou art no more a seruant, but a sonne: now if thou be a sone, thou art also the heire of God through Christ.
Cheli ivaka kosili umuhikana kono u mwana. Haiva u mwana, linu nawe koyole cha Ireeza.
8 But euen then, when ye knewe not God, yee did seruice vnto them, which by nature are not gods:
Mwisule, ne museni kwiziva Ireeza mu vali mu vahikana kwavo vasali vavali va milimu
9 But now seeing ye knowe God, yea, rather are knowen of God, howe turne ye againe vnto impotent and beggerly rudiments, whereunto as from the beginning ye wil be in bondage againe?
Kono hanu ha chimwizi Ireeza, kapa, hanu ha chimwizivitwe kwa Ireeza, chinzi ha chimuvolela hape nkwintuto za matangilo, zi fokola, zi satusi chimwi? Muchisaka ku va vehikana konse hape.
10 Ye obserue dayes, and moneths, and times and yeeres.
Inwe chakutokomela mulolelo mazuva a vutokwa, kutasa kwa myezi, inako, ni zilimo.
11 I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed on you labour in vaine.
Ni tiya chako. Ni tiya kuti hamwi ni va misevelezi ne kusena intuso.
12 Be ye as I (for I am euen as you) brethren, I beseech you: ye haue not hurt me at all.
Ni mikumbila, vaakwaangu, mube mo niikalile, name ni ve mo mu mwikalile. Kana mu va ni fosekezi.
13 And ye know, how through infirmitie of the flesh, I preached ye Gospel vnto you at the first.
Kono mwizi kuti ivali ivaka lya kulwala mumuvili chingi ni va wambi inzwi kwenu che tanzi.
14 And the trial of me which was in my flesh, ye despised not, neither abhorred: but ye receiued me as an Angel of God, yea, as Christ Iesus.
Nihaike mayemo amuvili wangu a va miviki he ntatubo, kana mu vanihindiki kapa ku ni kaana. Kono muvaniamuheli sina ingeloi lye Ireeza, i mi ivali njime Jesu Kelesite i ye mwiine.
15 What was then your felicitie? for I beare you recorde, that if it had bene possible, ye would haue plucked out your owne eyes, and haue giuen them vnto me.
Kuhi, chiingi, hanu cheli intavo yenu? Chingi ni paka kwenu kuti, kambe kuwoleka, ne chi muvatuloli menso enu ni kuaniha.
16 Am I therefore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth?
Ili kuti, chi ni vavi ni chila chenu kakuli ni miwambila vuniti?
17 They are ielous ouer you amisse: yea, they woulde exclude you, that ye shoulde altogether loue them.
Va tukufalelwe kumigana, kono ne kusena zilotu. Vasaka kumizwisa kwangu kuti muvecililie.
18 But it is a good thing to loue earnestly alwayes in a good thing, and not onely when I am present with you,
Inako yonse kushiyeme ku va ni ilato cha mavaka ena siinte, isinyi feela heva nina nenwe.
19 My litle children, of whome I trauaile in birth againe, vntill Christ be formed in you.
Vana vangu vanini, ni nyandiswa kucisa kwakupepa kwenu hape kutwala Kelesite cha vumbwa kwenu.
20 And I would I were with you nowe, that I might change my voyce: for I am in doubt of you.
Ni tabela kukava ko nanwe haho ni kukachincha muwambilo wangu, kokuti ni ziyelehete kwamana nanwe.
21 Tell me, ye that will be vnder the Law, doe ye not heare the Lawe?
Mu ni wambile, inwe mulakaza ku ba mwikonde lya mulao, Kamuzuwi mulao zo wamba?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, one by a seruant, and one by a free woman.
Kuñoletwe kuti Abrahama a vena vana vovele, zumwi i vali wa mwanakazi wa muhikana mi zumwi wa mwanakazi yo lukuluhite.
23 But he which was of the seruant, was borne after the flesh: and he which was of the free woman, was borne by promise.
Kokuti, u zu wa muhikana a va pepwa feela chenyama, kono u zu wa mwanakazi yo lukuluhite a va pepwa che sepiso.
24 By the which things another thing is meant: for these mothers are the two testaments, the one which is Agar of mount Sina, which gendreth vnto bondage.
Izi zintu ziwoleka kutolokwa cha kusevelisa inguli, Cwale a vo vanakazi vaswana sina intumelelano zo vele. Yimwi yazo i zwa he Lundu la Sinai. U pepa vaana va va hikana. U zo nji Hagare.
25 (For Agar or Sina is a mountaine in Arabia, and it answereth to Hierusalem which nowe is) and she is in bondage with her children.
Hanu Hagare nji Ilundu la Sinai, mwa Arabia. Chisupo chi zimanina Jerusalema wa suunu, i ye nji muvuhikana ni vaana vakwe.
26 But Hierusalem, which is aboue, is free: which is the mother of vs all.
Kono Jerusalema ina mwiulu i lukuluhite, uzo nji, nyinetu.
27 For it is written, Reioyce thou barren that bearest no children: breake forth, and cry, thou that trauailest not: for the desolate hath many moe children, then she which hath an husband.
Kakuti kuñoletwe, “Tave, i we mwanakazi wa muumba, iwe yo sa pepi. Luluweze mi uhuwe nce tabo, iwe yo sezi kupepwa kwa mwana. Vungi bwa vahwile vaana va muumba, kuhita vakwe uzo wina mukwame.”
28 Therefore, brethren, wee are after the maner of Isaac, children of the promise.
Hanu inwe, vaakwaangu, kuswana ni Isaaka, nji vahwile ve sepiso.
29 But as then hee that was borne after the flesh, persecuted him that was borne after the Spirit, euen so it is nowe.
Cheina inako zuna ya vapepwa chakuya kenyama a va nyandisi ya vapepwa cha Luhuho. Kuswana bulyo nahanu.
30 But what sayth the Scripture? Put out the seruant and her sonne: for the sonne of the seruant shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman.
Chinzi chiwambwa mwiñolo? “Mutwale kule muhikana wa mwanakazi ni mwaanakwe. chokuti mwaana wamwanakazi wamuhikana kete nayole chaanda hamwina ni mwaana wa mwanakazi yo lukuluhite.”
31 Then brethren, we are not children of the seruant, but of the free woman.
Chovulyo, vaakwaangu, ka tuvana va mwanakazi wa muhikana, kono wa mwanakazi yo lukuluhite.
