Galatians 3
1 O thoughtless Galatians, who bewitched you, not to obey the truth—before whose eyes [it] was previously written [about] Jesus Christ having been crucified?
E nga Karatia whakaarokore, na wai koutou i whaiwhaia, i whakakitea nuitia na a Ihu Karaiti ki o koutou kanohi, he mea ripeka?
2 I only wish to learn this from you: did you receive the Spirit by works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith?
Heoi taku e mea ana kia whakaakona mai e koutou, No nga mahi ranei o te ture i riro mai ai te Wairua i a koutou, na te mea ranei ka rongo ki te whakapono?
3 Are you so thoughtless? Having begun in the Spirit, do you now end in the flesh?
Ha, kia pena koutou te whakaarokore? i runga i te Wairua ta koutou timatanga, a me whakaoti ranei e koutou i runga i te kikokiko?
4 So many things you suffered in vain! If, indeed, even in vain.
He huakore noa iho ranei o koutou matenga maha? ki te mea ra he mea huakore.
5 He, therefore, who is supplying the Spirit to you and working mighty acts among you—[is it] by works of law or by the hearing of faith?
Na, ko te kaiwhakawhiwhi i a koutou ki te Wairua, e mahi nei hoki i nga merekara i roto i a koutou, no nga mahi ranei o te ture tana, no te rongo ranei ki te whakapono?
6 According as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;
Ka rite hoki ki a Aperahama i whakapono ki te Atua, a whakairia ana ki a ia hei tika.
7 know, then, that those of faith—these are sons of Abraham,
Na, kia matau koutou, ko te hunga o te whakapono, he tamariki enei na Aperahama.
8 and the Writing, having foreseen that God declares righteous the nations by faith, foretold the good news to Abraham:
A, i te kitenga o te karaipiture i mua, he whakapono ta te Atua hei whakatika mo nga tauiwi, ka kauwhautia wawetia te rongopai ki a Aperahama, Mau ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa.
9 “All the nations will be blessed in you”; so that those of faith are blessed with the believing Abraham,
Ina, ko te hunga o te whakapono, e manaakitia ngatahitia ana me Aperahama i whakapono ra.
10 for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it has been written: “Cursed [is] everyone who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Scroll of the Law—to do them,”
Ko te hunga katoa hoki o nga mahi o te ture, kei raro ratou i te kanga: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka kanga nga tangata katoa kahore e mau ki nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o te ture, hei mahi ma ratou.
11 and [it] is evident that in law no one is declared righteous with God, because “The righteous will live by faith”;
He hanga marama ano tenei, e kore e tika i te ture tetahi tangata ki te aroaro o te Atua: Ma te whakapono hoki e ora ai te tangata tika.
12 and the Law is not by faith, rather, “The man who did them will live in them.”
He teka hoki no te whakapono te ture: engari, Ki te mahia aua mea e te tangata, ma aua mea ia e ora ai.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us, for it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who is hanging on a tree,”
Kua hokona tatou e te Karaiti i roto i te kanga a te ture, i a ia nei i meinga hei kanga mo tatou: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, He mea kanga nga tangata katoa e whakairia ki runga ki te rakau:
14 that the blessing of Abraham may come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Kia tae ai ki nga tauiwi te manaaki o Aperahama i roto i a Karaiti Ihu; kia riro mai ai i a tatou te kupu homai o te Wairua, he mea ma roto i te whakapono.
15 Brothers, I say [it] as a man, no one even makes void or adds to a confirmed covenant of man,
E oku teina, he kupu tangata taku nei; Ahakoa he kawenata na te tangata, ki te mea ka oti te whakau, kahore he tangata hei turaki, hei tapiri ranei.
16 and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his Seed; He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” which is Christ;
Na, i korerotia nga kupu whakaari ki a Aperahama, ki tana whanau ano hoki. Kihai ia i mea, Ki nga whanau, me te mea he tokomaha; engari me te mea he kotahi, Ki tau whanau, ko te Karaiti hoki ia.
17 and this I say, a covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the Law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, does not set aside, to make void the promise,
Na ko taku kupu tenei; Ko te kawenata i whakaukia e te Atua i mua ra, e kore e ahei te ture, no muri iho nei o nga tau e wha rau e toru tekau i tae mai ai, ki te turaki, hei whakakahore i te kupu whakaari.
18 for if the inheritance [is] by law, [it is] no longer by promise, but God granted [it] to Abraham through promise.
Mehemea hoki na te ture i riro mai ai te kainga, heoi ehara i te mea na te kupu whakaari; otira i na runga mai i te kupu whakaari ta te Atua homaitanga ki a Aperahama.
19 Why, then, the Law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the Seed might come to which the promise has been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator—
Hei aha ra te ture? I tapiritia mai mo nga pokanga ketanga, kia tae mai ra ano te whanau mona nei te kupu whakaari; he mahinga na nga anahera, i roto i te ringa o te takawaenga.
20 and the mediator is not of one, but God is one.
Na, he teka mo te kotahi te takawaenga; kotahi ia te Atua.
21 [Is] the Law, then, against the promises of God? Let it not be! For if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly there would have been righteousness by law,
He turaki ranei ta te ture i a te Atua kupu whakaari? Kahore rapea: me i homai hoki he ture, he mea kaha ki te whakaora, ina kua puta ake te tika i te ture.
22 but the Writing shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.
Heoi kua kopania nga mea katoa e te karaipiture ki raro o te hara, kia homai ai ki te hunga e whakapono ana te mea i whakaaria mai i runga i te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti.
23 And before the coming of faith, we were being kept under law, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,
I mua ia o te taenga mai o te whakapono, e puritia ana tatou i raro i te ture, he mea kopani, kia taea ra ano te whakapono e whakapuakina nei i muri.
24 so that the Law became our tutor—to Christ, that we may be declared righteous by faith,
Heoi kua meinga nei te ture hei kaiwhakaako mo tatou, hei arahi ki a te Karaiti, kia tika ai tatou i te whakapono.
25 and faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor,
Otira ka tae mai nei te whakapono, mutu ake to tatou meatanga mai e te kaiwhakaako.
26 for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
He tamariki katoa hoki koutou na te Atua, he mea na te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu.
27 for as many as were immersed into Christ put on Christ;
Ko te hunga katoa hoki o koutou kua iriiria ki roto ki a te Karaiti, kua kakahuria e koutou a te Karaiti.
28 there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither servant nor freeman, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus;
Kahore he Hurai, kahore he Kariki, kahore he pononga, kahore he rangatira, kahore he tane, wahine ranei; he tangata kotahi tonu hoki koutou katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
29 and if you [are] of Christ then you are seed of Abraham, and heirs according to promise.
A ki te mea na te Karaiti koutou, he whanau na Aperahama, mo koutou hoki te kainga i runga i te kupu whakaari.
