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.
Mo Galatifoɔ adwenemherɛfoɔ! Hwan na ɔdanee mo adwene saa? Mo ara mo anim na wɔkyerɛɛ mu pefee sɛ wɔbɔɔ Yesu Kristo asɛnnua mu.
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or from hearing of the faith?
Mommua me saa asɛm yi: Moyɛɛ deɛ Mmara no hwehwɛ sɛ monyɛ ansa na Onyankopɔn Honhom no reba mo so? Anaasɛ motiee Asɛmpa no gye diiɛ ansa?
3 Are ye so senseless? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the flesh?
Saa na mo adwene mu yɛ herɛ? Mode Onyankopɔn Honhom firii aseɛ; afei mopɛ sɛ mode mo ara mo tumi wie?
4 have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
Mo suahunu yi nyinaa ho amma mfasoɔ biara? Mennye nni saa.
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?
Onyankopɔn nam mmara no so na ɔde ne Honhom no maa mo anaa? Anaasɛ ɔnam mmara no so na ɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ wɔ mo mu anaa? Ɛnyɛ asɛm no gye a mogye diiɛ nti?
6 as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Atwerɛsɛm no kaa Abraham ho asɛm sɛ, “Ɔgyee Onyankopɔn diiɛ na ɛsiane ne gyidie enti, Onyankopɔn gyee no sɛ onipa tenenee.”
7 Know then that they who are of faith, these are the children of Abraham.
Enti ɛsɛ sɛ mote aseɛ sɛ, nnipa a wɔwɔ gyidie no na wɔyɛ Abraham asefoɔ turodoo.
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.”
Atwerɛsɛm no dii ɛkan hunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nam gyidie so bɛbu amanamanmufoɔ no bem. Yei enti, Atwerɛsɛm no dii ɛkan kaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Ɛnam wo so na Onyankopɔn bɛhyira nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa.”
9 Wherefore they who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
Abraham gye diiɛ, na wɔhyiraa no, na wɔn a wɔgye di nyinaa nso, wɔahyira wɔn sɛdeɛ wɔhyiraa no no.
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.”
Wɔadome obiara a ɔde ne ho bɛto ne nnwuma a ɛfiri mmara no mu so. Ɛfiri sɛ wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “Wɔadome obiara a wankɔ so anni deɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mmara Nwoma mu no nyinaa so.”
11 But that by the law no man is justified before God is evident: because “The just by faith shall live.”
Afei, akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ obiara rentumi mfa mmara no so die nsɔ Onyankopɔn ani. Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɛnam gyidie so na ɔteneneeni bɛnya nkwa.”
12 Now the law is not by faith: but “The man that doeth these things shall live by them.”
Mmara no nnyinasoɔ nnyɛ gyidie; ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatwerɛ sɛ, deɛ ɔdi mmara no so bɛnya nkwa.
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:”
Ɛno enti na Kristo agye yɛn afiri nnome a Mmara no de brɛɛ yɛn no mu. Wayɛ nnome ama yɛn sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Obiara a wɔbɛsɛn no dua so no hyɛ Onyankopɔn nnome ase.”
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.
Kristo gyee yɛn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nhyira a wɔhyiraa Abraham no nam Kristo so bɛba amanamanmufoɔ so, na yɛnam gyidie so anya Honhom a wɔhyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ no.
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.
Anuanom, mede yɛn asetena mu asɛm bi bɛyɛ nhwɛsoɔ: Sɛ nnipa baanu bi pene asɛm bi so na wɔyɛ ho apam a, obiara rentumi mmu apam no so na wɔrentumi mfa biribi nka ho.
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.
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Abraham ne nʼaseni bɔ. Atwerɛsɛm no nnka sɛ, “Wo ne wʼasefoɔ” a ɛkyerɛ nnipa bebree. Ɛka sɛ, “Wo ne wʼaseni” a ɛkyerɛ sɛ onipa baako a ɔno ne Kristo no.
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.
Mekyerɛ sɛ: Onyankopɔn yɛɛ apam na ɔhyɛɛ bɔ sɛ ɔbɛdi so. Mmara no a ɛbaa akyire no ntumi nsesa anaa ɛrentumi ntwa bɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ mfirinhyia ahanan ne aduasa ansa na ɔde Mmara no maaeɛ, no mu.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more by promise; but to Abraham God gave it freely by promise.
Na sɛ nhyira a Onyankopɔn de maaeɛ no gyina Mmara so a, ɛnneɛ na ɛnyɛ bɔhyɛ bio. Nanso Onyankopɔn firi nʼadom mu, nam bɔhyɛ so de agyapadeɛ no maa Abraham.
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.
Ɛnneɛ na Mmara no ho mfasoɔ ne sɛn? Wɔde maa akyire no de kyerɛɛ sɛ yɛyɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ kɔsi sɛ Aseni no a wɔhyɛɛ ne ho bɔ no bɛba. Abɔfoɔ no na wɔde Mmara no maa Mose, na ɔno nso yɛɛ Onyankopɔn ne nnipa no ntamgyinafoɔ.
20 But the mediator of the one seed he is not, though God is one.
Yɛnim sɛ ntamgyinafoɔ ho hia ma nnipa baanu anaa deɛ ɛboro saa, nanso Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ baako amfa ntamugyinafoɔ ɛberɛ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham bɔ no.
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.
Yei kyerɛ sɛ Mmara no tia Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ no anaa? Dabi! Sɛ mmara bi wɔ hɔ a ɛtumi ma nnipa nkwa a, ɛnneɛ anka onipa nam saa mmara no so bɛtumi atene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
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.
Nanso, Atwerɛsɛm no aka sɛ, ewiase nyinaa hyɛ bɔne tumi ase. Ɛno enti, akyɛdeɛ a wɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ no, wɔnam Yesu Kristo so nko ara de bɛma wɔn a wɔgye di no.
23 But before the faith came, we were in ward under the law, shut up together for the faith that should be revealed.
Ansa na gyidie no reba no, Mmara no too yɛn mpɔkyerɛ kɔsii sɛ wɔbɛdaa gyidie no adi.
24 Wherefore the law was our conductor, as of children, to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Enti, Mmara no na ɛhyɛɛ yɛn so kɔsii sɛ Kristo baeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔnam gyidie so bɛbu yɛn bem.
25 But when faith was come, we were no longer under a paedagogue.
Afei a berɛ aduru sɛ yɛgye Kristo di no, Mmara no nni yɛn so tumi bio.
26 For ye are all the sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Ɛnam gyidie so enti na mo nyinaa yɛ Onyankopɔn mma a mo ne Kristo Yesu aka abom no.
27 For as many of you as have been baptised into Christ, have been invested with Christ.
Wɔbɔɔ mo asu hyɛɛ Kristo mu enti, moafa Kristo mu nnepa no ato mo ho so.
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.
Yɛnni Yudani anaa Helani, yɛnni akoa anaa ɔdehyeɛ, yɛnni ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa, na mo nyinaa yɛ onipa korɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
29 But if ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Enti sɛ moyɛ Kristo dea a, na moyɛ Abraham asefoɔ, na bɔhyɛ no enti, moyɛ adedifoɔ nso.
