Galatians 4
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he is lord of all;
nijova kuuti ulwakuva umwimilisi ghwe mwana, aling'ine nu m'bombi, nambe ulwakuva ghwe nyakyuma kyoni.
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father.
pe lino alipasi pavalolelesi kuhanga unsiki ghuno ghuvikilule nu viise ghwake.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
pe pano najusue pano tulyale vaanha, tukakolelivue mu vuvombi vwa vutavike vwa kwanda vwa iisi.
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
neke unsiki ghuno ghunoghile yeghufikile, uNguluve akansung'ha unswambe, umuholua ghwa n'dala, umuholua mu ndaghilo.
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
akavombile ndikio neke kukuvapoka vano valyale mundaghilo, neke kuti twupile mu sa kuuva hwene vaanha.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
ulwakuva umue muli vaanha, uNguluve akan'sung'ile uMhepo ghwa nswambe n'kate ja numbula siitu, uMhepo juno ikemhelua “Abba, Nhaata”.
7 Therefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
mu ulu usue natulivavombi kange looli vaanha. ndeve ve vaanha pe tulivimilisi kukilila uNguluve.
8 However then, when ye knew not God, ye did service to them which by nature are no gods.
nambe unsiki ghuno namukan'kagwile uNguluve, mulywale vavombi ku vala vano muvwandilo naihwani fya Nguluve.
9 But now, after ye have known God, or rather are known by God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage?
neke lino ulwakuva mukun'kagula uNguluve, nambe kuuti mukagulika kwa Nguluve kiki mugomoka kange muvutavike uvuvotevote uvwa kwanda kange vusila lutalama? pe munoghelua kuva vavombi kanhe?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
mukukikola ku vulolesi ikoghono ikitavike kukong'ana kwa mwesi, na maka. nikwoghopa vwimila jinu.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
nikwoghopa kuuti mu lumonga mukipumwisie vuvule.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
nikuvasuuma vanyalukolo muvisaghe ndavule nilivuo,
13 Ye know that in infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first.
ulwakuva kange nili ndavule nilivuo. namukanihokie. pe mukagula kuuti, looli vulyale vutamy vwa m'bili kuuti nulyadalikile ilivangili kulyumue ulwa kwanda.
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
nambe uvwumi vwango vwa m'bili vulyale mu g'helo, namukanibenapwile nambe kukunikana. pepano mukanyipile hwene Mhepo ghwa Nguluve, ilyale hwene ghwe Kilisite jujuo.
15 What then was the blessedness ye spoke of? for I bear you witness, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
pe lino, muhovokela kiki? ulwakuva nikusagha kulyumue kuuti, ndejiwesekana muvusie amaaso ghinu na kukumhela une.
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
neke lino pe nili mulugu ghwinu ulwakuva nikuvavula uvulweli?
17 They zealously seek you, but not for good; for, they would exclude you, that ye may seek them.
vikuvalonda kwa kunoghua, kange navagholou. vilonda kukuvavika lubale nune, neke muvalutile.
18 But it is good to be zealously sought always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
ke kanono jaatu kuva nu lunoghelua ku vufumbue vuno vunono, nakwekuuti lwene pano milipalikimo nune looli ifighono fyoni.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
vanango vadebe nivavua uvutungu vwimila jiinu kange kuhanga uKilisite avumbike n'kate jiinu.
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I stand in doubt of you.
lino nale ninoghelua kuva palikimo numue na kusyetulania isavuti jango, ulwakuva nanili nu lutengano numue.
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
mumbule umue mwevano munoghua kuva pasi pa ndaghilo, namupulika kange indaghilo pano jiti?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.
ulwakuva jilembilue kuuti uAbulahamu alyale na vaanha vaviliavadimi, jumo kwa n'dala um'bombi nu junge kwa n'dala huru,
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
nambe nahele, ughwa akaholilue m'bombi akaholilue mu lwa m'bili lwene. loli jula ughwa n'dala huru akaholilue ku lufingo.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which beareth children for bondage, which is Hagar.
isi ndeponu sijovua kwakutulila ikuhwani, ulwakuva avadla ava vilingana na mapuling'ano ghavili. ghamo kuhula ku kidunda Sinai. kihola avaanha vano avombi. uju ghwe Hajili.
25 For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
lino uHajili kwe kidunda Sinai kino kili ku Arabuni. kiling'anisivua ni Yelusalemu ija lino, ulwakuva ve vavombi palikimo na vaanha vaake.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
pe iYelusalemu jino jili nkyanya jili huru, iji je mama jitu.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she who hath an husband.
ulwakuva jilembilue, “hovoka, uve ghwe n'dala juno naghuhola. tosia isavuti kukyanya na kuhovoka, uve ghwe juno numanyile kuhola. ulwakuva vinga ve vaanha va juno naihola, kukila vala vala vajuno ali numughosi.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
lino vanyalukolo ndavule u Isaka, umue mulivaanha va lufingo,
29 But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
mu n'siki ghula ghuno umuunhu ghweni juno akaholilue ku vutavike vwa m'bili akampumwisie jula juno akaholilue ku vutavike vwa Mhepo. na lino vwe vulevule.
30 Nevertheless 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.
amalembe ghiti ndani? m'busie un'dala um'bombi palikimo nu n'swambe. ulwakuva un'swambe ghwa n'dala um'bombi naililololela palikimo nu mwanha ghwa n'dala huru.'
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
pe lino vanyalukolo usue natuli vaanha va n'dala um'bombi, looli va n'dala huru.
