Galatians 3
1 Foolish Galatians! Who has been enchanting you – you before whose eyes Jesus Christ was depicted on the cross?
Hinttenoo, akeeki baynna Galaatiya asato, hintte ayfiyaa sinthan Kiristtoosi masqale bolla kaqettida misileda qonccidi benttees. Yaatin, tumaas hintte kiitettonna mela hinttena bitiday oonee?
2 Here is the one thing that I want to find out from you – Did you receive the Spirit as the result of obedience to Law, or of your having listened with faith?
Ta issibaa eranaw koyays; hintte Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkiday higge naagidiyye woykko hintte si7ida Wonggelaa ammanidi ekkideti?
3 Can you be so foolish? After beginning with what is spiritual, do you now end with what is external?
Hintte hessa mela eeye? Hintte Xoossaa Ayyaanan doomidi, ha77i wolqqan polanaw koyeetii?
4 Did you go through so much to no purpose? – if indeed it really was to no purpose!
Hintte Wonggelaa gaason daro waayettiday melee? He waaye ubbay coo gididee?
5 He who supplies you abundantly with his Spirit and endows you with such powers – does he do this as the result of obedience to Law? Or as the result of your having listened with faith?
Xoossay hinttew Geeshsha Ayyaana immeynne hintte giddon malaatata oothey, hintte higge naagida gishoyye woykko Wonggelaa si7idi ammanida gisho?
6 It is just as it was with Abraham – he had faith in God, and his faith was regarded by God as righteousness.
Ane Abrahaame be7ite, “I Xoossaa ammanis; Xoossay iyaw hessa xillotethi oothidi ekkis” geetettidi xaafettis.
7 You see, then, that those whose lives are based on faith are the sons of Abraham.
Hiza, ammaneyssati Abrahaame nayta gideyssa erite.
8 And scripture, foreseeing that God would pronounce the Gentiles righteous as the result of faith, foretold the good news to Abraham in the words – “Through you all the Gentiles will be blessed.”
Xoossay Ayhude gidonna asaa ammanon xillisanayssa Geeshsha Maxaafay be7idi, “Kawotetha ubbay nenan anjjettana” yaagidi, Wonggelaa Abrahames kasetidi odis.
9 And, therefore, those whose lives are based on faith share the blessings bestowed on the faith of Abraham.
Hessa gisho, ammaniyaa ubbay ammanida Abrahamera issife anjjettidosona.
10 All who rely on obedience to Law are under a curse, for scripture says – “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all that is written in the book of the Law, and do it.”
Higge naagidi xillana giya oonikka qanggettidayssa. Ays giikko, Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Higge maxaafan xaafettida ubbaa naagonna oonikka qanggettidayssa gido” geetettidi xaafettis.
11 Again, it is evident that no one is pronounced righteous before God through Law, for we read – “Through faith the righteous will find life.”
“Xilloy ammanon daana” geetettidi xaafettida gisho, oonikka Xoossaa sinthan higge naagidi xillonnayssi erettidabaa.
12 But the Law is not based on faith; no, its words are – “Those who practice these precepts will find life through them.”
Higgey ammanon zemppenna. Shin, “Higgiya naagiya oonikka higgiyan de7on daana” yaagees.
13 Christ ransomed us from the curse pronounced in the Law, by taking the curse on himself for us, for scripture says – “Cursed is anyone who is hanged on a tree.”
“Mitha bolla kaqettidi hayqqiya oonikka qanggettidayssa” geetetti xaafettida gisho, Kiristtoosi nu gisho qanggettidayssa gididi, nuna higge qanggethafe wozis.
14 And this he did that the blessing given to Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through their union with Jesus Christ; that so, through our faith, we also might receive the promised gift of the Spirit.
Xoossay Abrahames immida anjjoy, Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara Ayhude gidonna asaa gakkana melanne Xoossay immana gida Geeshsha Ayyaana nuuni ammanon ekkana mela hessa oothis.
15 To take an illustration, friends, from daily life – No one sets aside even an agreement between two people, when once it has been confirmed, nor do they add conditions to it.
Ta ishato, ta hinttew asa de7on meeze gididi de7iyabaa leemiso oothada odays. Asi caaqqida caaqoy minnidaappe guye, oonikka he caaquwa shaaranaw woykko iya bolla haraa gujjanaw dandda7enna.
16 Now it was to Abraham that the promises were made, “and to his offspring.” It was not said “to his offsprings,” as if many persons were meant, but the words were “to your offspring,” showing that one person was meant – and that was Christ.
Xoossay he keeke qaalaa Abrahamesinne iya zerethaas immis. Geeshsha Maxaafay, daro asas odiyada, “Ne zerethatas” geenna. Shin issi asas odiyada, “Ne zerethaas” yaagees; ikka Kiristtoosa.
17 My point is this – An agreement already confirmed by God cannot be canceled by the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to cause the promise to be set aside.
Taani gey hayssa; oyddu xeetanne hasttamu laythafe guye imettida higgey, koyro Xoossay minthida caaquwa shaaridi ufayssa qaala dhayssanaw dandda7enna.
18 If our heritage is the result of Law, then it has ceased to be the result of a promise. Yet God conferred it on Abraham by a promise.
Xoossay immiya laatay higgen ekettiyabaa gidiyakko Xoossay immida ufayssaa baggara gideyssi attees. Shin Xoossay ba aadho keehatethan laata Abrahames ufayssa qaala baggara immis.
19 What, then, you ask, was the use of the Law? It was a later addition, to make people conscious of their wrongdoings, and intended to last only until the coming of that offspring to whom the promise had been made; and it was delivered through angels by a mediator.
Yaatin, higgey ays imettidee? Higgey imettiday, Abrahames ufayssa qaali imettida zerethay yaana gakkanaw iita oosoy aybeekko erisanaassa. Higgey kiitanchchota baggara imettidi, gido gididi sigethiya issi asa baggara ooso bolla pee7is.
20 Now mediation implies more than one person, but God is one only.
Giddo gididi sigethiya uray issi asa xalaalas gidenna, shin Xoossay issino.
21 Does that set the Law in opposition to God’s promises? Heaven forbid! For, if a Law had been given capable of bestowing life, then righteousness would have actually owed its existence to Law.
Yaatin, higgey Xoossaa ufayssa qaalara eqettiyye? Akkay, gidenna! Higgey imettiday asas de7o immanaw gidiyakko, xillotethi higge baggara benttanashin.
22 But the words of scripture represent the whole world as being in bondage to sin, so that the promised blessing, dependent, as it is, on faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who have faith in him.
Shin Yesuus Kiristtoosa ammanin benttiya ufayssa qaalay ammaneyssatas imettana mela kumetha alamey nagaras haarettidi de7eyssa Geeshsha Maxaafay odees.
23 Before the coming of faith, we were kept under the guard of the Law, in bondage, awaiting the faith that was destined to be revealed.
Shin ammanoy yaanappe kase higgey nuna qachchi wothis. He ammanoy qonccana gakkanaw higgey nu bolla gorddi wothis.
24 Thus the Law has proved a guide to lead us to Christ, in order that we may be pronounced righteous as the result of faith.
Hessa gisho, nuuni ammanon xillana mela Kiristtoosi yaana gakkanaw higgey na7a naagiya asa mela nuna naageyssa gidis.
25 But now that faith has come we no longer need a guide.
Shin ha77i ammanoy yida gisho, higgey hizappe guye na7a naagiya asa mela nuna naageyssi attis.
26 For you are all sons of God, through your faith in Christ Jesus.
Hintte ubbay Yesuus Kiristtoosa ammanidi Xoossaa nayta gidideta.
27 For all of you who were baptized into union with Christ clothed yourselves with Christ.
Kiristtoosara issino gidanaw xammaqettida ubbay Kiristtoosa ma7oda ma77ideta.
28 All distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, have vanished; for in union with Christ Jesus you are all one.
Hintte ubbay Kiristtoosan issino gidiya gisho, Ayhude asaa giddoninne Girike asaa giddon, aylle giddoninne womaanno giddon, adde giddoninne maccasa giddon dummatethi baawa.
29 And, since you belong to Christ, it follows that you are Abraham’s offspring and, under the promise, sharers in the inheritance.
Hiza, hintte Kiristtoosabaa gidikko hintte Abrahaame zare. Xoossaa ufayssa qaalada hintte laatteyssata.
