Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you to keep you from obeying the truth? In your presence, before your very eyes, Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.
Ŵanyamwe Ŵagalatia ŵakuloŵela! Ana ŵaani annosile ŵanyamwe? Ntekusalilwa pangasisika nkati chiwa chi Che Yesu Kilisito, kuti ŵaŵambikwe pansalaba mpela ila mwachinsyene intite pakulola kwa meeso genu.
2 Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?
Ngusaka kuchimanyilila chindu chimo kutyochela kukwenu, ana mwampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya kutendekanya yaikusachilwa ni Malajisyo pane kwa ligongo lya kujipilikanila ni kujikulupilila Ngani Jambone?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now trying to be perfected by the flesh?
Ana ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakuloŵela kwanti yelei? Ŵanyamwe mwatandite yose kwa ukamuchisyo wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, sambano nkusaka kumalichisya kwa machili genu mwachinsyene?
4 Did you suffer so much in vain?—if indeed it was in vain.
Ana, malagasyo gamwalasile ŵanyamwe galiji gangalimate? Ngaikomboleka!
5 Does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you because you perform the works of the law or because you hear with faith?
Ana, Akunnungu akumpanga Mbumu jwakwe ni kupanganya yakusimonjeka kukwenu kwa ligongo nkupanganya yaikusachilwa ni Malajisyo, pane kwa ligongo nkujipilikanila Ngani Jambone ni kujikulupilila?
6 Remember, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
Munnole che Iblahimu, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala “Che Iblahimu ŵaakulupilile Akunnungu, ni kwachikulupi cho ŵatendekwe kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.”
7 Therefore you must understand that those who have faith are the sons of Abraham.
Nipele sambano, mmanyilile kuti ŵandu wose ŵakwakulupilila Akunnungu, ŵelewo ali ŵanache ŵa usyene ŵa che Iblahimu.
8 Now the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in yoʋ.”
Malembelo ga Akunnungu galongolele kulosya kuti, Akunnungu chiŵatende ŵambone paujo pao ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kwa litala lya chikulupi. Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵansalile kaje che Iblahimu Ngani Jambone ji achitiji, “Kwalitala lyenu, ngosyo syose chisikole upile.”
9 So then, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Nipele, ŵakwete chikulupi akukola upile pamo ni che Iblahimu ŵaŵakulupilile.
10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
Nambo ŵanawose ŵakukulupilila pe kupanganya yaikusachilwa ni Malajisyo alweseche. Pakuŵa, Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Jwalijose jwangakukamulisya ni kupanganya yose yailembekwe mchitabu cha Malajisyo, jwele jwanlweseche.”
11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, because “the righteous will live by faith.”
Sambano ikulosya kuti Malajisyo ngagakuntenda mundu aŵe jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu chatame kwa chikulupi.”
12 But the law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The person who does these things will live by them.”
Nambo Malajisyo ngagakukulupilila chikulupi, nambo Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwakupanganya yaikusachilwa ni Malajisyo chatame kwa Malajisyo go.”
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.”
Kilisito ŵatuwombwele kutyochela pa malweso ga Malajisyo kwa kulijigalila malweso go kwa ligongo lyetu, pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Alweseche mundu jwalijose jwaŵichikwe pa chitela.”
14 He redeemed us so that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Chiwombosyo cho chatendekwe kuti upile wapegwilwe che Iblahimu watuluchile ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kwa litala lya Kilisito Yesu, ni kuti kwa litala lya chikulupi tumpochele Mbumu juŵatulanjile Akunnungu.
15 Brothers, let me give an example from everyday life: When a man-made covenant is ratified, no one annuls it or adds to it.
Achalongo achinjangu, chinampe chitagu kutyochela mu umi wetu wa lyuŵa ni lyuŵa. Iŵaga ŵandu ŵaŵili aŵichilene malangano kwa kulumbilila, ni ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kupungusya pane kujonjechesya chindu mu gele malangano.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say, “And to his descendants,” referring to many, but referring to one man it says, “And to yoʋr descendant,” who is Christ.
Nipele, Akunnungu ŵampele che Iblahimu chilanga ni uŵelesi wao. Malembelo ga Akunnungu ngagakusala, “Ni iŵelesi yao” nambo gakuti, “Ni uŵelesi wao,” yaani jumo pe, ni jwelejo ali Kilisito.
17 My point is this: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul a covenant previously ratified by God to Christ, so as to invalidate the promise.
Chingusaka kuŵecheta ni achi, Akunnungu ŵatesile lilangano lyakwe, ŵaŵechete isyene. Malajisyo gaiche payapite yaka machila ncheche ni makumi gatatu. Malajisyo go ngagakukombola kulityosya lilangano lya Akunnungu namose kuchitema chilanga.
18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by the promise; but God granted it to Abraham by a promise.
Pakuŵa, chilanga cha Akunnungu chikakulupilile kugajitichisya Malajisyo, nipele, ntuuka wo ngaukakombole kukulupilila chilanga cha Akunnungu. Nambo Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya wema wakwe, ŵapele ntuuka che Iblahimu, kwa ligongo lya lilangano lyo.
19 Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the descendant should come to whom the promise had been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Sambano Malajisyo gana masengo gachi? Malajisyo gajonjechekwe pelepo ligongo lya kulosya sambi sili chindu chachi, mpaka pataiche ajula uŵelesi u che Iblahimu juŵapele chilanga chila. Malajisyo gaiche ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani kwa litala lya che Musa juŵaliji jwakwilanya.
20 Now a mediator does not represent just one party, but God is one.
Nambo jwakwilanya ngakusachilwa kwa ligongo lya chindu chachikungamba mundu jumo, ni Akunnungu ali ŵamo pe.
21 Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, truly righteousness would have come through the law.
Uli, Malajisyo gakukanilana ni chilanga cha Akunnungu? Ngwamba! Pakuŵa, naga gakakopweswe malajisyo gagakukombola kwapa ŵandu umi, nipele, tukakombwele kutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya kugajitichisya malajisyo.
22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, so that the promise might be given on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.
Nambo, Malembelo ga Akunnungu gamasile kuŵecheta kuti chilambo chose chili paasi pa ulamusi wa sambi, kwayele, aŵala ŵaakukulupilila apegwe ntuuka waulanjile Akunnungu, kwa kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito.
23 Now before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
Nambo chikanaiche chikulupi, twataŵikwe ni Malajisyo nti ŵataŵikwe, mpaka chikulupi cho pachichiunukulikwe.
24 The law, then, was our guardian until Christ came, so that we could be justified by faith.
Nipele, Malajisyo galiji ni ulamusi pachanya uwe mpaka paŵaiche Kilisito, kuti kwa litala lya chikulupi tukundikwe kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,
Nambo pakuŵa chikulupi chiiche, malajisyo nganigakola ulamusi pachanya petu.
26 for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Kwa litala lya chikulupi, ŵanawose ndi ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito.
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe wose umwabatiswe ni kulumbikana ni Kilisito, ntame mpela yakuti pakusaka Kilisito.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Kwayele ngapagwa sooni kutindana pasikati ja Myahudi ni jwangaŵa Myahudi, kapolo ni jwalechelelwe, jwankongwe ni jwannume. Ŵanawose ndi chindu chimo kwa kulumbikana ni Che Yesu Kilisito.
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants and heirs according to the promise.
Iŵaga ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵakwe Kilisito, sambano ndi uŵelesi u che Iblahimu, chimpochele achila chalanjile Akunnungu.
