Galatians 4
1 NOW I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Mme gakologelwang se, gore fa rrabana a a swa a bo a tlogelela morwawe yo mmotlana khumo e ntsi, ngwana yoo ga a botoka ka gope go na le motlhanka go fitlhelela a gola le fa tota sengwe le sengwe se rraagwe a neng a na naso e le sa gagwe.
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
O tshwanetse go dira se batlhokomedi ba gagwe le batlamedi ba mmolelelang gore a se dire, go fitlhelela a nna dingwaga tse rraagwe a di beileng.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Mme le mo go rona go ne go ntse fela jalo pele ga Keresete a tla. Re ne re le batlhanka ba melao ya Sejuta le mekgwa ya Sejuta gonne re ne re ithaya re re di ka re boloka.
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Mme erile fa nako e e tshwanetseng e sena go tla, nako e Modimo o neng o e beile, wa roma Morwaone, a tsetswe ke mosadi, a tsetswe e le Mojuta,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
go re rekela kgololesego, rona ba re neng re le batlhanka ba molao gore a tle a re godise re le bana ba gagwe tota.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Mme e re ka re le bana ba one, Modimo o rometse Mowa wa Morwa-one mo dipelong tsa rona, gore re nne le tshiamelo ya go bua ka Modimo re re ke Rraa rona yo o rategang.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Jaanong ga re sa tlhole re le batlhanka, re bana ba Modimo tota. Mme ere ka re le bana ba one, sengwe le sengwe se o nang naso ke sa rona, gonne ke ka fa go rulagantsweng ke Modimo ka teng.
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Pele ga lona Badichaba lo itse Modimo lo ne lo le batlhanka ba medimo e le gone e iseng e ke e be e nne mo tlholegong.
9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Mme jaanong ka lo bonye Modimo (kgotsa a ke re, ka Modimo o lo setse) go diragala jang gore lo batle go boela kwa morago gape go nna batlhanka mo tumelong nngwe ya lehuma, e e bokoa, e e senang molemo, ya go leka go ya legodimong ka go obamela melao ya Modimo?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Lo leka go nna botsalano le Modimo ka se lo se dirang kgotsa se lo sa se direng mo malatsing mangwe kgotsa mo dikgweding kgotsa mo dipa-keng tsa ngwaga kgotsa mo dingwageng.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Ke a tshoga ka lona. Ke tshaba gore tiro ya me ya bonatla e ke e lo diretseng e ne e le lefela mo go lona.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ke a lo kopa gore lo nne fela jaaka nna kaga dilo tse, gonne ke gololesegile mo dikeetaneng tse jaaka lo kile lwa bo lo ntse. Ga lo a ka lwa nnyatsa ka lobaka loo fa ke lo rerela lwa ntlha,
13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
ntswa ke ne ke lwala fa ke simolola go lo rerela Mafoko a a Molemo a ga Keresete.
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Mme le fa bolwetse jwa me bo ne bo lo tena, ga lo a ka lwa nkgana lwa nteleka. Nnyaa, lo ne lwa nkamogela lwa ba lwa ntlhokomela jaaka ekete ke moengele yo o tswang kwa Modimong, kgotsa Jesu Keresete ka sebele.
15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
Mowa ole wa boitumelo o re neng re na nao o kae jaanong? Gonne mo malatsing ao ke itse gore lo ka bo lo ne lwa ikgonya matlho ka boitumelo lwa a nnaya mo boemong jwa a me fa mo go ne go ka nthusa.
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
Baruti bao ba tsietso ba ba ratang thata go lo gapa maikutlo ga ba dire jalo gore go lo solegele molemo. Se ba lekang go se dira ke go lo kgaoganya le nna gore lo tle lo beye maikutlo thata mo go bone.
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
Ke selo se se molemo fa batho ba go siametse ka maikaelelo a a molemo le dipelo tse di ikanyegang, segolo bogolo fa ba sa dire fela jalo fa ke na le lona.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Ao, bana ba me, kana lo nkutlwisa-botlhoko thata jang! Ke sa ntse ke lo bogela gape ke le mo ditlha-bing tse di tshwanang le tsa mmangwana a letile ngwana wa gagwe go tsholwa, ke tlhologeletswe lobaka lo mo go lone e tlaa reng lwa bofelo lo bo lo tladitswe ka Keresete.
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
Ke eletsa thata jang ekete ke ka bo ke na le lona koo gone gompieno, ke sa akantshanye le lona jaana, gonne ka ntlha ya go katologana mo ga rona, ga ke itse gore ke ka reng.
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
Ntheetsang, lona ditsala tse di gopolang gore lo tshwanetse go obamela melao ya Sejuta gore lo bolokwe: ke eng fa lo sa batlisise tota se se rerwang ke melao eo?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Gonne go kwadilwe gore Aberahame o ne a na le bana ba basimane ba le babedi, yo mongwe o ne a tsetswe ke mosadi wa gagwe wa lelata mme yo mongwe o ne a tshotswe ke mosadi wa gagwe yo e leng ngwana wa motse.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Go ne go sena sepe se se sa tlwaelesegang kaga go tsholwa ga losea lwa mosadi wa lelata. Mme losea lwa mosadi yo e leng ngwana wa motse lo ne lwa tsholwa fela morago ga Modimo o solofetsa tota gore lo tlaa tsholwa.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Jaanong polelo e e boammaaruri e, ke setshwantsho kaga ditsela tse pedi tsa Modimo tsa go thusa batho. Tsela e nngwe e ne e le go ba neela melao ya one gore ba e obamele. O dirile jaana mo Thabeng ya Senai, fa o neela Moshe Melao e e Some. Thaba ya Senai, kana tota, e bidiwa “Thaba ya Hagare” ka Searabia,
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
mme mo setshwantshong se ke se ntshitseng mosadi wa ga Aberahame Hagare, wa lelata, o emetse Jerusalema, mma-motse wa Bajuta, modi wa tsela ele ya go leka go itumedisa Modimo ka go leka go obamela Melao; mme Bajuta, ba ba lekang go sala morago tsela eo, ke bana ba one ba batlhanka.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Mme mma-motse wa rona ke Jerusalema wa selegodimo, ebile ga se motlhanka wa melao ya Sejuta.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Ke sone se Isaia a neng a se raya fa a porofesa a re, “Jaanong o ka itumela, wena mosadi yo o senang le fa e le ngwana; o ka goeletsa ka boitumelo le fa o ise o ke o nne le ngwana pele. Gonne ke ya go go naya bana le ba bantsi, ba le bantsi go gaisa ba mosadi wa lelata.”
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Nna le lona, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, re bana ba Modimo o ba solofeditseng, fela jaaka Isake a ne a solofeditswe.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Jalo he, rona ba re tsetsweng ke Mowa O O Boitshepo re a bogisiwa jaanong ke ba ba batlang re tshegetsa melao ya Sejuta, fela jaaka Isake ngwana wa tsholofetso a ne a bogisiwa ke Ishemaele ngwana wa mosadi wa lelata.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Mme Dikwalo tsa re Modimo o ne wa raya Aberahame wa re a leleke mosadi wa gagwe wa lelata le morwawe, gonne ngwana wa mosadi wa lelata o ne a ka seka a rua boswa jwa ga Aberahame ebong legae le masimo mmogo le ngwana wa mosadi wa motse.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ga re bana ba batlhanka, ba ba golegeletsweng mo melaong ya Sejuta, re bana ba mosadi yo e leng ngwana wa motse, re amogelesega kwa Modimong ka ntlha ya tumelo.
