Galatians 4
1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
Wanni ani jedhu kana; dhaaltuun yoo qabeenyi hundi kan isaa taʼe iyyuu inni hamma daaʼima taʼee jirutti garba irraa adda miti.
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
Inni hamma guyyaan abbaan isaa murteesse sun gaʼutti warra isa eeganii fi warra isa guddisan jala jira.
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
Nus akkasuma bara daaʼimman turretti garbummaa sirna addunyaa jala turre.
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
Yommuu yeroon murteeffame sun gaʼetti garuu Waaqni Ilma isaa isa dubartii irraa dhalate, kan seera jalatti dhalate sana erge;
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
kunis akka nu mirga ilmummaa argannuuf warra seera jala jiran furuuf.
6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
Sababii isin ilmaan taataniifis Waaqni Hafuura Ilma isaa kan, “Aabbaa, yaa Abbaa” jedhee waamu sana gara keessa garaa keenyaatti erge.
7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Messiah.
Kanaaf ati siʼachi ilma malee garba miti; erga ilma taatee immoo Waaqni dhaaltuu si taasiseera.
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
Isin utuu Waaqa hin beekiniin dura, waaqota uumama isaaniitiin waaqota hin taʼiniif garboomtanii turtan.
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
Amma garuu isin erga Waaqa beektanii, keessumattuu erga Waaqa biratti beekamtanii booddee akkamitti gara sirnoota dadhaboo fi sirnoota faayidaa hin qabneetti deebitu ree? Isin ammas isaaniif garboomuu barbaadduu?
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
Isin guyyoota, jiʼoota, waqtiilee fi waggoota addaa kabajju!
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labour for you.
Ani akkasumaan isinitti dadhabe jedheen isiniif sodaadha.
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
Yaa obboloota, akkuma ani isin fakkaadhe, isinis akka na fakkaattan isin kadhadha. Isin balleessaa tokko illee natti hin hojjenne.
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
Yeroo jalqabaatti akka ani sababii dhukkubaatiin wangeela isinitti lallabe ni beektu;
14 That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Messiah Yeshua.
yoo dhukkubni koo qoramsa isinitti taʼe iyyuu, isin akka waan ani ergamaa Waaqaa taʼeetti, akka waan ani Kiristoos Yesuus matuma isaa taʼeetti na simattan malee na hin tuffanne yookaan na hin balfine.
15 What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
Eebbi keessan sun hundi eessa jira? Utuu dandaʼamee ija keessan illee akka of keessaa baaftanii naa kennuun fedhii keessan ture ani dhugaa baʼuu nan dandaʼa.
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Egaa ani waan dhugaa isinitti himeef diina keessan taʼee ree?
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
Namoonni sun ofitti isin deebisuuf hinaafu; garuu waan gaariif miti. Isaan akka isin isaaniif hinaaftaniif nurraa gargar isin baasuu barbaadu.
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
Yeroo ani isin bira jiru qofa utuu hin taʼin yeroo hundumaa kaayyoo gaariif hinaaffaa qabaachuun gaarii dha.
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Messiah is formed in you—
Yaa ijoollee ko, ani hamma Kiristoos isin keessatti mulʼatutti ammas isiniif jedhee nan ciniinsifadha;
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
ani waaʼee keessaniif waan shakkii keessa jiruuf utuu isin biratti argamee sagalee koo geeddaradhee akkam hawwan ture!
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
Warri seera jala jiraachuu barbaaddan mee natti himaa; isin waan seerri jedhu hin dhageenyee?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
“Abrahaam ilmaan lama qaba ture; tokko dubartii garbittii irraa, kaan immoo dubartii birmaduu irraa dhalate” jedhamee barreeffameeraatii.
23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
Ilmi isaa inni dubartii garbittii irraa dhalate akka fedhii fooniitti dhalate; inni dubartii birmaduu irraa dhalate immoo akka waadaatti dhalate.
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
Kunis akka fakkeenyaatti fudhatamuu dandaʼa; dubartoonni kunneen kakuuwwan lamaan argisiisu. Kakuun tokko kan Tulluu Siinaa ti; kunis garbummaaf ijoollee horti; isheenis Aggaar.
25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
Egaa Aggaar akka Tulluu Siinaa isa biyya Arabaa keessaa ti; isheenis magaalaa Yerusaalem ishee yeroo ammaatti fakkeeffamti; magaalaan kun ijoollee ishee wajjin garbummaa keessa jirtiitii.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Yerusaalem isheen samii irraa garuu birmaduu dha; isheenis haadha keenya.
27 For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
Akkana jedhamee barreeffameeraatii: “Yaa dubartii dhabduu kan ijoollee tokko illee hin daʼin ati gammadi; atis kan ciniinsifattee hin beekne guddisiitii ililchi; ijoollee dubartii dhirsa qabduu caalaa, ijoolleen dubartii gatamtee ni baayʼatu.”
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Yaa obboloota, isinis akkuma Yisihaaq ijoollee waadaa ti.
29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Yeroo sana ilmi akka fedhii fooniitti dhalate sun ilma humna Hafuuraatiin dhalate ariʼate. Amma illee akkasuma.
30 However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
Garuu Katabbiin Qulqulluun maal jedha? “Garbittii sanaa fi ilma ishee ariʼi; ilmi garbittii sun ilma dubartittii birmaduu wajjin hin dhaaluutii” jedha.
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
Kanaafuu yaa obboloota, nu ilmaan dubartii birmaduu sanaati malee ilmaan garbittii miti.
