Galatians 4
1 Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth in no respect from a bond-servant, though he is lord of all;
Su ntakula vinu, muhala pakawera kankali mwana mdidini hapeni kaweri ntambu yingi na mumanda tembera ulunda woseri uwera wakuwi.
2 but is under guardians and stewards, until the time appointed by the father.
Mweni kawera pasi pa walera wakuwi na yawalolera ulunda wakuwi mpaka shipindi sha kuhala shashitulitwi na tati gwakuwi.
3 So also we, when we were children, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world;
Ntambu iraa ayi twenga patuweriti handa twankali wana wadidini tuweriti wamanda wa vintu vyaviwera na uwezu vyavikolamlima pasipanu.
4 but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
Kumbiti shipindi shilii shashitulitwi pashisokiti, Mlungu kamtumiti mwana gwakuwi yakayiwukiti kwa mdala, yomberi kiwukiti pasi pa Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa,
5 to redeem those under the Law, that we might be adopted as sons.
kapati kuwalopoziya wantu woseri yawawera pasi pa Malagaliru, su tupati kutendwa wana wa Mlungu.
6 And to show that ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father!
Toziya vinu mwenga mwawana wakuwi, Mlungu kamtumiti Rohu gwa Mwana gwakuwi mumyoyu mwenu, Rohu yakashema “Aba” mana yakuwi “Tati.”
7 So then thou art no longer a bond-servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
Su gwenga gwa mumanda ndiri kayi, kumbiti gwamwana na gwenga paguwera mwana, su haguwanki goseri Mlungu gakawatuliriti wana wakuwi.
8 But at that time, indeed, when ye knew not God, ye were in slavery to those who in their nature are not gods;
Makashu pamumumaniti ndiri Mlungu, muweriti wamanda wa vilii vyaviwera ndiri milungu nakaka.
9 but now, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how is it that ye are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments to which ye wish to be again in bondage?
Kumbiti vinu mumumana Mlungu ama nongi mumanikana na Mlungu, iwera hashi mwankuviwuyira vintu legilegi na vyavihera shintu, vintu vilii vyavikolamlima pasipanu, kwa vintu avi mfira kuwera wamanda kayi?
10 Do ye observe days, and months, and times, and years?
Mwenga mwankali mwankugakola nentu mashaka na myezi na vipindi vya vinja na vinja!
11 I fear for you, lest I may have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
Neni ntira kuusu mwenga, pamonga lihengu lyantenditi kwa mwenga lyagamira hera.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as ye are; ye injured me in nothing.
Walongu wangu, nuwahiga muweri gambira neni, toziya neni wera gambira mwenga. Muntendera ndiri shidoda shoseri.
13 Nay, ye know that it was on account of an infirmity of the flesh that I preached the gospel to you the former time,
Mwenga muvimana kuwera toziya ya ulweli wangu, neni mpatiti lupenu lwa kuwera na mwenga na kuwabwelera Shisoweru Shiwagira kwa mala ya kwanja.
14 and my trial which was in my flesh ye did not despise nor spurn; but received me as an angel of God, yea, as Christ Jesus.
Tembera ulweli wangu uwatuliti mumajeru, mwenga mumbeziyiti ndiri ama kumonera shinyakali. Kumbiti mwenga munankiti gambira neni ndo ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mlungu, gambira neni ndo Kristu Yesu mweni.
15 How great then was your boasting of happiness! for I bear you witness, that if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and have given them to me.
Ntambu ya nemeleru yamuweriti nayu igenda koshi? Neni weza kupitawulira, shipindi shilii memuwezi kugakolopola masu genu na kumpanani neni.
16 So then, have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
Hashi, neni nwera mngondu gwenu kwa kuwagambira unakaka?
17 They show a zeal for you, but not in honesty; yea, they wish to exclude you, that ye may be zealous for them.
Wantu walii yawagolokera kuwera mfati Malagaliru, walanguziya handa wankuwashera mwenga, kumbiti nfiru zyawu ziherepa ndiri. Shintu shawafira ndo kuwalekenaziya mwenga na twenga su mpati kuwera kwa womberi.
18 But it is good to be an object of zeal in what is good always, and not only when I am present with you.
Iherepa kuwera na bidii ya kutenda vitwatira viherepa kila shipindi. Neni pawera na mwenga, na shipindi shilii neni pawera ndiri pamuhera na mwenga.
19 My children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you, —
Wana wangu! Gambira utama wa kwiwura mwana, neni mpata kayi utama toziya ya mwenga mpaka pamuwera na ntambu ya Kristu mngati mwenu.
20 I could wish indeed to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am in perplexity about you.
Neni menfiri kuwera na mwenga shipindi shilaa ashi, pamonga meng'alambuli liziwu lyangu. Neni nkolwa na lyoga kuusu mwenga!
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law, do ye not hear the Law?
Mung'ambiri, mwenga yamufira kukolwamlima na Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa, hashi mwenga muvimana ndiri yagatakula Malagaliru?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons; the one by the bondwoman, the other by the freewoman.
Toziya ilembwa Mumalembu Mananagala kuwera Aburahamu kaweriti na wana wawili, mwana yumu kiwukiti kwa mawu mmanda na yumonga kiwukiti kwa mawu mlekeziwa.
23 But the one by the bondwoman was born after the flesh; while the one by the freewoman was through the promise.
Kumbiti mwana yakayiwukiti kwa mawu mmanda, kiwukiti kwa ntambu ya mafiliru ga muntu, kumbiti mwana ulii yakayiwukiti kwa mawu mlekeziwa, kiwukiti kulawirana na lagilu lya Mlungu.
24 Which things are written allegorically; for these women are two covenants; the one from Mount Sinai, who beareth children into bondage, which is Hagar;
Vitwatira avi viweriti mfanu wa ujumbi tunga. Toziya wamawu wawili awa wawera ndo mfanu gwa malinganiru mawili. Hajiri, wana wakuwi wayiwukiti muntambu ya umanda. Agu ndo mfanu wa lipatanu lyalitendikiti kulugongu lwa Sinayi.
25 for the word Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; and she corresponds to the Jerusalem now existing, for she is in bondage with her children;
Vinu Hajiri kankulinganiziwa na lugongu lwa Sinayi lwaluwera Arabiya na luwera mfanu gwa lushi lwa vinu lwa Yerusalemu yayiwera vinu muumanda pamuhera na wana wakuwi.
26 but the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Kumbiti Yerusalemu yayiwera kumpindi yagambira mdala mlekeziwa na yomberi ndo mawu gwetu.
27 For it is written: “Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for many are the children of the desolate one, rather than of her who hath the husband.”
Toziya Malembu Mananagala galembwa, “Gunemeleri gwenga yaguwera mpendi, gwenga yagwiwura ndiri! Gubotangi na gutagi lusheka gwenga yagumana ndiri utama wa kwiwura mwana. Toziya wana wa ulii yakalekitwi ndo wavuwa kuliku wana wa ulii yakaweriti na mpalu.”
28 But ye, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of a promise.
Vinu mwenga walongu wangu muwera wana wa lagilu gambira Isaka.
29 But as at that time he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born through the Spirit, so it is now.
Kumbiti handa yayiweriti mashaka galii ulii yakayiwukiti kwa mafiliru ga muntu kamtabisiyiti ulii yakayiwukiti kwa mafiliru ga Rohu wa Mlungu, ndo ntambu yayiwera ata vinu.
30 But 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.”
Kumbiti Malembu Mananagala galonga hashi? Galonga, “Gumuwingi mawu mmanda pamuhera na mwana gwakuwi, toziya mwana gwa mmanda hapeni kahali pamuhera na mwana gwa mawu mlekeziwa.”
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the freewoman.
Su walongu wangu, twenga twawana ndiri wa mawu mmanda kumbiti twawana wa mawu mlekeziwa.
