< Galatians 3 >

1 You [fellow believers who live in] Galatia are very foolish! (Someone must have put an evil spell on you!/Did someone put an evil spell on you?) [RHQ] I clearly explained to you [SYN] [what] Jesus Christ [accomplished when] he was crucified {he died on the cross}.
Hagi tamagra neginagi Galesia vahere, Nagra Jisasima rugeka zafare ahageno fri'nea kea ko huama hugeta antahi'nazanagi, ina ne'mo antahintahitamia tamazeri savrira nehie?
2 [So], I want you to tell me one thing: [Do you think that] it was because you obeyed the laws God gave Moses that you received the [Holy] Spirit? [Do you not know that] [RHQ] it was because [when you] heard [the good message concerning Christ, you] trusted in him?
Nagra mago'za tamagripintira kena erifore hu'za hue. Tamagrama Ruotge Avamuma eri'nazana, kasegemofo erizanteti eri'nazafi, ke nentahita tamentinti nehuta eri'naze.
3 (You are acting so foolishly/Why are you being so foolish?) [RHQ]! You first [became Christians] as a result of God’s Spirit [enabling you]. So, (you should not now think that it is by what you yourselves do that you will continue [to grow spiritually]/do you now think it is by your own human efforts that you will continue [to grow spiritually?]!) [RHQ]
Tamagra negi nenazafi? Avamumo eri agafa hu'nea eri'zana, tamagratami hanavereti erivagare'za nehazo?
4 Keep in mind that [if what God has done for you was because of your obeying the laws that God gave to Moses and] not because of trusting in Christ, when others caused you to suffer, you suffered many things needlessly! [RHQ] [I certainly hope that you did not suffer like that] needlessly.
Tamagrama ko'ma knazama eri'nazana, amane eri'nazo? Nagrama nagesa antahuana amne knazana e'ori'naze.
5 [When God now] generously gives to you his Spirit and performs miracles among you, [do you think that it is] [RHQ] because you obey the laws [that God gave to Moses? Surely you know that] it is because when you heard [the good message about Christ], you trusted in him [RHQ]!
Anumzamo'ma Ruotge Avamu'a neramamino, kaguvazama tamagripima erifore hu'neana, Mosese kasege avaririzageno anara hu'nefi? Anumzamofo ke nentahita, Agrite tamamentinti hazageno anara hu'ne?
6 [What you have experienced is] as [Moses wrote in the Scriptures about] Abraham. [He wrote that Abraham] trusted God, and as a result, he was considered as being righteous {[God] erased the record of his sins}.
Avontafemo'a anage hu'ne, Abrahamu'a amentinti higeno, Anumzamo'a fatgo nere huno agrikura hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 15:6)
7 You must realize, therefore, that it is those who trust [in what Christ has done who] are [like] Abraham’s descendants [MET] [because they trust in God as Abraham did].
E'ina hu'negu antahita ketama hanazana, zamentintima haza vahe'mo'zage, Abrahamu mofavre mani'naze.
8 Furthermore, God planned beforehand that it was [when] non-Jews trusted [him] that he would erase the record of their sins. [Moses wrote in] the Scriptures [PRS] this good message that God told Abraham: “Because of [what] you [did], I will bless [people in] [MTY] all nations.”
Avontafepina anage huno krente'ne, Anumzamo'a megi'a vahera zmentinti hanageno zmavregahie huno hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo'a anage huno Abrahamuna Knare Musenkea asmino, Maka mopafi vahe'mo'za kagripinti asomura erigahaze huno hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 12:3)
9 So, [we can conclude that] it is those who trust [in what Christ has done] whom [God] blesses. That includes [all non-Jews and Jews who trust him], along with Abraham, the one who trusted him [long ago].
E'ina hu'negu iza'o amentintima hanimo'a, amentinti ne'ma Abrahamuma ami'nea asomura erigahie.
10 That is, God will eternally punish all those who [mistakenly] think [that God will erase the record of their sins] as a result of their [obeying] the laws [that God gave to Moses]. What is written in the Scriptures is that [God] will eternally punish everyone who does not continuously and completely obey all the laws [that Moses wrote].
Na'ankure kasegema avaririzante Anumzamo'a muse hunantegahie hanimo'a, kazusifi mani'ne. Anumzamofo avontafepina anage hu'ne, Mika vahe'mo'za mika kasegema amage'ma ontesnamo'za kazusifi manigahaze hu'ne. (Diu-Kas 27:26)
11 But God has declared that if he erases the record of anyone’s sins, it will not be as a result of their obeying the laws God gave Moses. [This is evident because the Scriptures say], “Every person whose record of sins God erases because that person trusts God will live [spiritually].”
Hagi mago vahe'mo'e huno kasegema amage'ma antezampintira Anumzamofo avufina fatgo vahera omanigahie. Na'ankure Fatgo vahera zamentintima hanagu manigahaze. (Haba 2:4)
12 But [when God gave] his laws [to the Jews, he did] not [say that a person must] trust [him]. Instead, [God said that] it is those who obey [all God’s laws, continuously and completely], who will live.
E'inahukna hianagi, kasegemo'a amentinti hu'zana omnene, Iza'zo e'inahu hu'za kasegemofo amage'ma nentesazamo'za, ana kasegere manigahaze. (Lev-Pri 18:5.)
13 Even though we humans have not continuously and completely obeyed God’s laws, Christ rescued us from [God] punishing us eternally. Christ rescued us by his being [the one God condemned] instead of God condemning us. What is written {[someone/Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] shows that this is true. It is written {[He] wrote}, “[God] has cursed anyone [whom people have executed for his crimes and whose body they] have hung on a tree.”
Kasegemofo kazusifintira Kraisi'a mizaseranteno taza hu'neankino, ana kazusia Agra'a erino taza hu'ne. Na'ankure anage huno avontafepina krentene, Maka vahe'mo'za keka zafare'ma hanti'nesamo'za kazusifi mani'naze hu'ne. (Diu-Kas 21:22, 23)
14 Jesus Christ rescued us in order that as a result of what he [has done, God might bless the non-Jews, in a way similar to the way] God blessed Abraham. He also desired that as a result of our trusting [Christ], we [all] might receive the Spirit [whom God] promised to [give to] us.
E'ina hu'negu Abrahamuma huhamprinte'nea asomumo'a, Krais Jisasimpinti megia vahepina nevanigeta, tagra huvempa hu'nea Avamura tamentinti hanuta erigahune.
15 My fellow believers, I will now [illustrate] by referring to human [relationships. After an agreement is confirmed by two people] {[two people have signed] an agreement}, no one can reject it or add to it.
Hagi nenfugate, Nagra vahe'mo'zama maka knama nehaza zmavuzmavate hunte'na tamasamiza hue, vahe'mo'za'ma mago'zama hu'naku mago zamarimpama hu'za kema hagerafinesaza kea, mago vahe'mo'a rugea huntege, eri atrege osugahie.
16 [God] declared to Abraham and his descendant that he was promising [to give blessings to Abraham]. [The words that God spoke were not “and your] descendants.” [He was not] referring to many persons. Instead, he was referring to one person, who is Christ, [because the words that God spoke were], “and your descendant.”
Korapara Anumzamo'a Abrahamunku'ene agripinti fore'ma hania mofavregura huvempa kea hunte'ne. Agra kagri mofavreramine huno osu'ne. Agra rama'a mofavreraminkura osu'ne. Magoke mofavregu huno anage hu'ne, Kagripinti fore'ma hanimo'ema hu'neana, e'i Kraisinku hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 17:7)
17 This is what I am saying: [Since God] gave the laws [to the Jews] 430 years after [he declared to Abraham what he was promising to do for Abraham], those laws do not cancel that agreement [with] Abraham that God himself had previously agreed about [PRS].
Hanki nagrama nehuana amanage nehue, esera Anumzamo'a Abrahamu'ene huvempa hutegeno, 430'a kafuzage evutegeno, henka kasegea efore hu'neankino, kasegemo'a Anumzamo'ma huvempama hu'nea kea eri otregahie.
18 Remember that if it is because [we obey God’s] laws [that he gives to us] what [he has] promised [to give to us], then it is not [just] because he [has] promised [that he would give those things to us]. God freely gave to Abraham [what he had promised to give to him, just] because [God had] promised [that he would give it to him. Similarly, it is not because we obey God’s laws that God gives to us what he has promised to give to us].
Na'ankure erisanti haregahaze hunesia zamo kasegefima manenesiana, huvempa hu'nea kefina omanesine. Hianagi Anumzamo'a Abrahamuna huvempa hunte'ne.
19 So, [if someone should ask], “Why [did God later give] his laws [to Moses?” I would reply that] it was in order that [people might realize] how sinful they were. [Those laws were valid] until [Jesus came. He was] the descendant that God [was referring to when he made] the promises to Abraham. [The laws] were given {[God] gave [his laws]} [to Moses] by God’s causing angels to [speak to him. Moses was the] mediator, [the one who told the laws to the people].
E'inama hu'nesiana, na'a agafare kasegea ami'ne? Kasegema zami'neana vahe'mo'za kefozama nehazaza keama hanazegu zami'ne. Hianagi ama ana kasegema avaririzamo'a memevuno, Anumzamo'ma huvempama hu'nea Mofavrema esia knare ome vagaregahie. E'i anazamo'a mago'ane ruzahu hu'ne. Anumzamo'a ankero vahera kasegea zamige'za, Anumzane, vahe'mofone amuno ne' Mosese ami'naze.
20 Now, [when] a mediator [functions], one [person] is not [speaking with another] directly; but God himself [made his promises directly to Abraham].
Tare vahe'moke kema hagerafinaku'ma hanakeno'a, amuno ne' mani'nenkene anara hugaragi, Anumzamo Agra'a huvempa Abrahamuna hunte'ne.
21 [If someone should ask, “When God gave his] laws [to Moses] long [after he told Abraham] what he was promising [to give to him, was he] changing his mind?” [I would reply that God] certainly did not [change his mind when he did that]! If God had given a law that could enable people to live [eternally], then it actually would be because of people [obeying that] law that God would erase the record of their sins.
Kasegemo'a Anumzamo huvempa hu'nea kene mago zanarimpa osu'napi? A'o, anara osu'ne! Hagi maka kasegemo'ma kasefa tasimuma tamisiana, tagra ana kasegege amage'nenteta Anumzamofo avurera fatgo vahera manusine.
22 But instead, [what we read in] the Scriptures [PRS] is that God [caused all people to be unable to escape being punished for] their [sins] [MET], just like [people] in prison [are unable to escape] [PRS, MET]. [God did that in order that he might give what he promised to those who trust Jesus Christ, just] because they trust him.
Hianagi Anumzamofo avontafemo'a anage hu'ne, Kumi'mo'a maka vahera kina huzmante'negu, Anumzamo'ma huvempa hu'neazama erisazana magoke kana, Jisas Kraisinte zamentinti hanamo'za erigahaze.
23 Before [God revealed the good message about] trusting [in Christ], the laws [PRS] that God gave to Moses were [confining/imprisoning us Jews] [MET], [as] a prisoner [in jail is] confined. [We] were unable to escape [obeying those] [MET] [laws]. This happened in order that [we might believe] the good message [concerning Christ, the message that God would] reveal [later].
Hianagi amentintima hu'zama omenegeno, kasegemo kina rerantegeta manita neonkeno tamentinti hu'zana efore hu'ne.
24 [Like a father supervises his immature son by appointing a] servant to take care of him [MET], [God] was supervising us [by] his laws [MET, PRS] until Christ came. [He did this] in order that he might erase the record of our sins [only] because we trust [Christ].
E'ina hu'negu kasegemo'a kvagriranteno Jisas Kraisi knare ehanati'neankita, tagrama tamentinti hanuta Anumzamofo avurera fatgo vahera manigahune.
25 But [now that God] has revealed the message [about trusting in Christ], the laws [that God gave to Moses] are no longer supervising us [Jews] [PRS, MET].
Hianagi tamentinti hu'zamo fore'ma hu'nea knafi mani'nonankino, kasegemo'a kegava kriorantegahie.
26 Now all of you [Jews and] non-Jews are [as though you are] God’s children because you trusted Christ Jesus.
Na'ankure tamagra maka'mota Jisas Kraisinte'ma tamentintima nehuta, Anumzamofo mofavre mani'naze.
27 That is, you who [began a relationship] with Christ when you were baptized identified yourselves [MET] with Christ.
Na'ankure tamagra maka'mota Jisas Kraisinte mono tina nefreta, Kraisina kukena hiaza nehaze.
28 [If you are believers, it does] not [matter to God if you are] Jews or non-Jews; slaves or ones [who are] not slaves; males or females, because all of you are [as] one [sort of person because of your relationship] with Christ Jesus.
Hanki Jiu vahero Griki vahera omanita, kazokzo vahe'ene amne vahera omanita, veo aro omani'naze. Na'ankure tamagra maka'mota Krais Jisasimpina magoke mani'naze.
29 Furthermore, since you belong to Christ, you are [like] Abraham’s descendants [because you trust God as Abraham did], and you will possess/receive all that God has promised [MET].
Hagi tamagrama Kraisi vahe'ma mani'nenuta, tamagra Abrahamu negehogata mani'neta, erisanti haregahazema huno Anumzamo'ma huvempa hunte'nea vahera mani'naze.
