Galatians 3
1 Foolish Galatians! Who has been fascinating you — you before whose very eyes Jesus Christ was depicted upon the cross?
Bhagalatia bhajinga, lihu leleku la uovu lalibhahalibu? Je Yesu Kristu alasibhu lepi katya msulubibwa palongolo pa mihu gha yhomo?
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?
Nene nilonda tu kumanya ele kuhomela kwa muenga. Je mwapokili Roho kwa matendo gha Sheria au ndo mwaamini kela kamwapeliki?
3 Can you be so foolish? After beginning with what is spiritual, do you now end with what is external?
Ko, muenga ni bhajinga kiasi ekhe? ko mwayandili mu Roho ili mmalai mu mbhele?
4 Did you go through so much to no purpose? — if indeed it really was to no purpose!
Ko mwatesiki kwa mambo mingi mebhwa, katya kueli ghayele gha mebhwa?
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?
Ko muene yaipisya Roho kwa muenga ni kubhomba matendo gha nghofo kwa yhomo iketa kwa matendo gha sheria au kwa kup'etela pamonga ni imani?
6 It is just as it was with Abraham — ‘He had faith in God, and his faith was regarded by God as righteousness.’
Abraham “Amwamini K'yara ahesabibhu kujo mwenye haki”.
7 You see, then, that those whose lives are based on faith are the Sons of Abraham.
Kwa namna yela yela muyelewahi ya ndabha, bhala bhabhiamini yakuwa ni bhana bha Abraham.
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 thee all the Gentiles shall be blessed.’
Liyandiku latabilibhu yakuwa K'yara ngabhahesabili haki bhanu bha mataifa kwa njela ya imani. Injili yahubilibhu hosi kwa Abraham:”Kwa bhebhe mataifa ghoa ghibalikibhwa”.
9 And, therefore, those whose lives are based on faith share the blessings bestowed upon the faith of Abraham.
Ili kabhele bhabhayele niimani bhabalikibhuayi pamonga ni Abraham, yaayele ni imani.
10 All who rely upon obedience to Law are under a curse, for Scripture says — ‘Cursed is every one who does not abide by all that is written in the Book of the Law, and do it.’
Bhala bhoa bhabhitegemela matendo gha sheria bhayele pasi mu laana. Kwa ndabha iyandikibhu, “Alanibhu kila munu yaishikamanahee ni mambo ghoa ghaghayandikibhu mukitabu ka sheria, kughabhomba ghoa.”
11 Again, it is evident that no one is pronounced righteous before God through Law, for we read — ‘Through faith the righteous man shall find Life.’
Henu ndo bhuasi yakuwa K'yara akamwesabilahee haki hata immonga musheria, kwa ndabha, “Yaayele ni haki alaishi ki imani”
12 But the Law is not based on faith; no, its words are — ‘Those who practice these precepts will find Life through them.’
Sheria yihomelahe ni imani, Badala yaki “Yaifwanyai mambo agha kup'etela sheria, alaishi kisheria”.
13 Christ ransomed us from the curse pronounced in the Law, by taking the curse on himself for us, for Scripture says — ‘Cursed is any one who is hanged on a tree.’
istu atukombhuili tete kuhomela mu laana ya sheria yapayafwanyikai laana kwajia yhoto. Kwa ndabha iyandikibhu, “Alanibhuayi” kila munu yaibinai munani mulibehe.”
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.
Lilengo layele ya ndabha, baraka ambasyo sasa yele kwa Ibrahimu ngasaidai kwa bhanu bhamataifa kup'etela Yesu Kristu, yakuwa tubhwesyai kuyhopa ahadi ya Roho kup'etela imani.
15 To take an illustration, Brothers, from daily life — No one sets aside even an agreement between two men, when once it has been confirmed, nor does he add conditions to it.
Ndongo, nikabhajobhela na kibinadamu. Kabhele magono ambapo agano la kibinadamu palimalikai kubhekibhwa imara, ayelepi yaibhwesyai kupuuza au kuyongesela.
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 thy offspring,’ showing that one person was meant — and that was Christ.
Henu ahadi sajobhibhu kwa Ibrahimu ni kizazikya muene. Yijobhahee, “Kwa vizazi,” kumaanisya bhingi, badala yaki kwa mmonga yumuene, “Kwa kizazi kyako,” ambaye ndo Kristu.
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.
Henu nijobha nah, sheria ya yahidili miaka 430 badaye, yibhosya lepi agano la kunyuma lalibheki bhusima ni K'yara.
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.
Yandabha kujo ulisi ngawahidili ki njela ya sheria, ngaiyelepi kabhele kuhida kwa njela ya ahadi. Ndabha K'yara apisili mebhwa kwa Ibrahimu kwa njela ya ahadi.
19 What, then, you ask, was the use of the Law? It was a later addition, to make men conscious of their wrong-doings, and intended to last only till the coming of that ‘offspring’ to whom the promise had been made; and it was delivered through angels by a mediator.
Kwandayakiki henu sheria yapisibhu? Yayongisibhu ndabha ya makosa, mpaka mzao wa Ibrahimu ulota kwa bhala ambabho kwa bhene amalili kuhaidibhwa. Sheria yabhekibhu ki shinikizo kup'etela malaika kwa kibhoko Kya kupatanisya.
20 Now mediation implies more than one person, but God is one only.
Henu mpatanishi imaanisya zaidi ya munu mmonga, ndo K'yara yumuene.
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.
Kwa ele ko sheria iyele kinyume ni ahadi sa K'yara? La hasha! kwa ndabha sheria yaiyele ipisibhu iyele ni ubhueso wa kuleta usima, haki ngaipatikene kwa sheria.
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, upon faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who have faith in him.
Badala yaki, liyandiku lifungili mambo ghoa pasi mu thambi. K'yara aketili naa ili ya ndabha ahadi ya muene ya kutookola tete kwa imani kup'etela Yesu Kristu lbhuesyai kupatikana kwa bhala bhabhiamini.
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.
Kabula ya imani ya Kristu kuhida, twayele tufungibhu ni kuya pasi pa sheria hadi pawihidai ufunuo was imani.
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.
Kwa ele sheria yafwanyiki kwa kiongozi wa yhoto hadi Kristu pahaaidayi, ndabha tuhesabibhuayi mu haki ni mwimani.
25 But now that faith has come we no longer need a guide.
Henu yandabha imani ihidili, tuyelepi kabhele pasi pabha angalizi.
26 For you are all Sons of God, through your faith in Christ Jesus.
Kwa ndabha muenga mwabhoa ndo bhana bha K'yara kup'etela imani ni Kristu Yesu.
27 For all of you who were baptized into union with Christ clothed yourselves with Christ.
Mwabhoa bhambatizibhu kup'etela Kristu mmjifwekili Kristu.
28 All distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and freeman, male and female, have vanished; for in union with Christ Jesus you are all one.
Ayelepi Myaudi wala Myunani, n'tumwa wala huru, bhagosi wala bhadala, kwandabha muenga mwabhoa n'do bhamonga kup'etela Kristu Yesu.
29 And, since you belong to Christ, it follows that you are Abraham’s offspring and, under the promise, sharers in the inheritance.
Kama muenga ndo bha Kristu, basi ndo uzao wa Ibrahimu, bharithi mu jibu wa ahadi.
