Galatians 3
1 O INFATUATED Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth? To whom Jesus Christ has been described, as before your eyes, crucified among you.
Nyenye Vagalatia vayimu! Ndi yani mweavahavili? Malovi ga kuvambiwa Yesu Kilisitu gajoviwi hotohoto palongolo yinu.
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or from hearing of the faith?
Nigana kumanya chindu chimonga kuhuma kwa nyenye, wu, mwapokili Mpungu wa Chapanga ndava ya kuyidakila malagizu amala ndava ya kuyuwana kusadika Lilovi la Bwina?
3 Are ye so senseless? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the flesh?
Uyimu winu uvi wuli? Nyenye mwatumbwili goha kwa utangatila wa Mpungu wa Chapanga, wuli hinu mwigana kumalakisa kwa makakala ginu mwavene?
4 have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
Wu, mambu goha gegavakolili nyenye gawaka? Nakuhotoleka!
5 He therefore who ministereth to you a supply of the Spirit, and powerfully worketh miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?
Wu, Chapanga avapelili Mpungu waki na kukita chinamtiti pagati yinu ndava mwilanda malagizu, amala ndava mwiyuwana Lilovi la Bwina na kusadika?
6 as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Mlola luhumu lwa Ibulahimu ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, mwene amsadiki Chapanga, ndi mwene awonikini mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
7 Know then that they who are of faith, these are the children of Abraham.
Hinu mumanya kuvya vala vevakumsadika Chapanga ndi chakaka vana va Ibulahimu.
8 And the scripture foreseeing that by faith God would justify the Gentiles, preached the gospel before unto Abraham, saying, that “In thee shall all the nations be blessed.”
Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova kuhuma kadeni kuvya Chapanga yati akuvavalangila vandu vangali Vayawudi kuvya vabwina palongolo yaki mu njila ya sadika. Ndava Chapanga amkokosili hoti Lilovi la Bwina Ibulahimu, “Vandu va milima yoha yati vimotisiwa ndava ya veve.”
9 Wherefore they who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
Hinu, vala vevisadika yati vimotisiwa pamonga na Ibulahimu mweisadika.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse: for it is written, “Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the things written in the book of the law to do them.”
Ndava muni vandu voha vevihuvalila kuyidakila gegiganikiwa na malagizu, vavi mulikoto muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Yoyoha mwangakamula goha gegayandikwi muchitabu cha malagizu ndi avili mulikoto.”
11 But that by the law no man is justified before God is evident: because “The just by faith shall live.”
Ndi hotohoto kuvya kawaka mundu mweivalangiwa kulolekana mbwina palongolo kwa malagizu, ndava muni mweilolekana mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga yati itama kwa sadika.
12 Now the law is not by faith: but “The man that doeth these things shall live by them.”
Nambu malagizu yihumila lepi kusadika, nambu Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mweiyidakila gegiganikiwa mu Malagizu yati itama.”
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 who is hanged on a tree:”
Kilisitu atigombwili tete kuhuma mulikoto la malagizu, mukujitolela likoto ndava yitu, muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mundu yeyoha mweavambiwi pamkongo ana likoto.”
14 that unto the Gentiles the benediction pronounced on Abraham might come by Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
Lijambu lenili lahengiki muni mota yeapewili Ibulahimu yivahikila vandu vangali Vayawudi mu njila ya Kilisitu Yesu, muni musadika timpokela Mpungu Msopi mweatilagazili Chapanga.
15 Brethren, I speak humanly; to use a similitude, a man’s testament, if it be passed in legal form, no man can vacate, or add thereunto.
Valongo vangu, yati nikuvapela luhumu lwa wumi witu wa magono goha, vandu vavili vakakita lilaganu kwa kulapa, kawaka mundu kudenya amala kuyonjokesa chindu mu lilaganu lenilo.
16 But to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, To seeds, as unto many persons; but as to an individual, and to thy seed, which is Christ.
Hinu, Ibulahimu alagaziwi na Chapanga, mwene pamonga na “Vachiveleku vaki mayandiku gijova lepi, na chiveleku chaki,” Yani ndi mmonga ndi Kilisitu.
17 Now this I say, the covenant confirmed of God to Christ, the law, which was given three hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, so as to vacate the promise.
Chenichi ndi chenijova, Chapanga avikili lilaganu laki na Ibulahimu. Payapitili malagizu miyaka miya mcheche na selasini ndi malagizu peyaletiwi. Malagizu genago nakuhotola kulidenya amala kuhungula lilagizu la Chapanga.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more by promise; but to Abraham God gave it freely by promise.
Ngati njombi yeniyi ya Chapanga ngayihuvalili uyidakila wa Malagizu, hinu njombi yeniyo ngayihuvalili lepi lilaganu la Chapanga. Nambu Chapanga kwa ubwina waki ampelili Ibulahimu njombi yeniyi ndava ya lilaganu leampeli Ibulahimu.
19 To what end then was the law given? It was given on account of transgressions, until that seed should come to whom the promise was made, being delivered through the ministry of angels into the hand of a mediator.
Hinu malagizu gana lihengu loki? Yayonjokiswi muni kulangisa kubuda, mbaka peibwela chiveleku cha Ibulahimu yula mweapewili lilaganu lila. Malagizu gegaletiwi na mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga muchiwoko cha mtepulanisi Musa.
20 But the mediator of the one seed he is not, though God is one.
Nambu mtepulanisi iganikiwa lepi ngati lijambu lene likumvala mundu mmonga, na Chapanga ndi mmonga.
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which was capable of procuring life, verily righteousness would have been by the law.
Wu, malagizu gibelana na lilaganu la Chapanga? Lepi hati padebe! Muni kuvya uhumili mu malagizu gegakuvapela vandu wumi, ndi ngatiwonikini vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga kwa kuyidakila malagizu.
22 But the scripture hath shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Nambu lepi, Mayandiku Gamsopi gamali kujova kuvya mulima woha uvi uvanda wa kumbudila Chapanga. Muni vevisadika vapewayi njombi yila yeavalagazili Chapanga, mukumsadika Yesu Kilisitu.
23 But before the faith came, we were in ward under the law, shut up together for the faith that should be revealed.
Nambu kwakona kubwela sadika yila, nambu takungiwi na mhilu ngati vafungwa mbaka payabweli sadika yigubukuliwayi.
24 Wherefore the law was our conductor, as of children, to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Hinu malagizu gavi na makakala panani yitu mbaka pahaikili Kilisitu, muni tilolekana vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
25 But when faith was come, we were no longer under a paedagogue.
Nambu ndava sadika yimali kubwela, tete nakuvya kavili pahi ya uhotola panani yitu.
26 For ye are all the sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Mu njila ya sadika nyenye mwavoha ndi vana va Chapanga mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.
27 For as many of you as have been baptised into Christ, have been invested with Christ.
Muni mwavoha nyenye mwemubatiziwi na kujiwunga na Kilisitu, mutama ngati Kilisitu cheigana mutama.
28 There is no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Kawaka kavili mbagulanu pagati ya Vayawudi amala Vandu vangali Vayawudi, vavanda amala vandu mwemlekekiwi, kawaka mgosi amala mdala, muni mwavoha ndi mwavamonga mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.
29 But if ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Ngati nyenye ndi vandu va Kilisitu ndi chiveleku cha Ibulahimu ndi yati mwipewa lilaganu lila leajovili Chapanga.
