Agalatia 3

1 Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ Agalatia aya akĩĩgu! Mũrogetwo nũũ? O inyuĩ muonirio wega Jesũ Kristũ arĩ mwambe mũtĩ igũrũ.

O inconsiderate Galatians! who has deceived you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ crucified, was evidently represented among you?

2 No nyende kũmenya ũndũ ũmwe tu kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ: Mwaheirwo Roho nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho, kana nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia ũhoro ũrĩa mwaiguire?

This, only, I wish to learn from you, did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by obedience of faith?

3 Kaĩ mũrĩ akĩĩgu atĩa? Mwambĩrĩirie na Roho wa Ngai, na rĩu mũrenda kũrĩkĩrĩria na hinya wa mwĩrĩ?

Are you so inconsiderate that, having begun in Spirit, you are now made perfect in flesh?

4 Anga mwathĩĩnirio na maũndũ maingĩ ũguo o tũhũ, angĩkorwo ũhoro ũcio wothe warĩ wa tũhũ?

Have you suffered so many things in vain? if, indeed, it is in vain?

5 Wee Ngai amũheaga Roho wake na akaringaga ciama gatagatĩ kanyu nĩ ũndũ wanyu gwathĩkĩra watho, kana nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia ũhoro ũrĩa mwaiguire?

He, then, who ministered to you the Spirit, and wrought miracles among you, did he these by works of law, or by a hearing of faith?

6 Ta ririkanai ũhoro wa Iburahĩmu, Maandĩko moigĩte atĩrĩ: “Etĩkirie Ngai, nake Ngai akĩmũtua mũthingu.”

even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness;

7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩmenyei atĩ andũ arĩa metĩkĩtie nĩo ciana cia Iburahĩmu.

know, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

8 Na tondũ Maandĩko marĩa matheru nĩmooigĩte o mbere atĩ Ngai nĩagatua andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ athingu na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia-rĩ, na Maandĩko macio nĩmahunjĩirie Iburahĩmu Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega o kabere, makiuga atĩrĩ: “Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩikaarathimwo nĩ ũndũ waku.”

For the scripture, foreshowing that God would justify the nations by faith, formerly announced the gospel to Abraham, saying, "Surely in you shall all the nations be blessed."

9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa metĩkĩtie nĩmarathimanagĩrio hamwe na Iburahĩmu, mũndũ ũcio warĩ mwĩtĩkia.

Wherefore, they who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

10 Andũ arĩa othe mehokaga ũhoro wa gwathĩkĩra watho-rĩ, marĩ na kĩrumi, nĩgũkorwo Maandĩko moigaga atĩrĩ, “Kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi nĩ mũndũ o wothe ũtahingagia maũndũ marĩa mothe mandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Watho.”

But as many as are of works of law, are under the curse: for it is written, "Accursed is every one who continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

11 Nĩtũũĩ wega atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩtuuo mũthingu mbere ya Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho, tondũ Maandĩko moigĩte atĩrĩ: “Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu agaatũũra muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia.”

Besides, that by law no one is justified before God is manifest: "For the just by faith shall live."

12 No watho-rĩ, nduumanĩte na ũhoro wa gwĩtĩkia; handũ ha ũguo Maandĩko moigaga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa wathĩkagĩra maũndũ ma watho agaatũũrio muoyo nĩ mo.”

Now, the law is not of faith; but he who does these things, shall live by them.

13 Nake Kristũ nĩatũkũũrire agĩtũruta kĩrumi-inĩ kĩa watho na ũndũ wake mwene gũtuĩka kĩrumi ithenya riitũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi nĩ mũndũ o wothe wambĩtwo mũtĩ-igũrũ.”

Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: (for it is written, "Accursed is every one who is hanged on a tree": )

14 Aatũkũũrire nĩguo kĩrathimo kĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aarathimĩtwo nakĩo gĩkinyĩre andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ na ũndũ wa Kristũ Jesũ, nĩguo atĩ na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia twamũkĩre Roho ũrĩa weranĩirwo.

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the nations through Christ Jesus; and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, rekei ndĩmuonie na ngerekano yumanĩte na maũndũ marĩa mũũĩ. O ta ũrĩa gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kweheria ũndũ kana kuongerera ũndũ harĩ kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩthondeketwo nĩ mũndũ-rĩ, no taguo ũhoro ũyũ ũtariĩ.

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: no one sets aside, or alters a man's Will, after it is ratified.

16 Maũndũ marĩa meranĩirwo, meerĩirwo Iburahĩmu na mbeũ yake. Maandĩko matiugĩte “mbeũ ciake”, taarĩ ũhoro wa andũ aingĩ, no moigĩte “na mbeũ yake”, ũguo nĩ kuuga mũndũ ũmwe, na nĩwe Kristũ.

Now, to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He does not say, "And in seeds," as concerning many; but as concerning one person, "And in your see," who is Christ.

17 Ũrĩa ndĩrenda kuuga nĩ atĩrĩ: Watho, ũcio wokire thuutha wa mĩaka 430, ndũngĩeheria kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩekĩrĩtwo ho nĩ Ngai mbere ĩyo, na ndũngĩtũma kĩĩranĩro kĩu gĩtuĩke gĩa tũhũ.

Wherefore, this I affirm, that the Will which was before ratified by God concerning Christ, the law, which was made four hundred and thirty years after can not annul, so as to abolish the promise.

18 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, angĩkorwo igai rĩngĩoneka nĩ ũndũ wa watho-rĩ, rĩtikiumanĩte na kĩĩranĩro; no Ngai, nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake, nĩaheire Iburahĩmu igai na ũndũ wa kĩĩranĩro.

Besides, if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise. But God bestowed it freely on Abraham by promise.

19 Watho-rĩ, wakĩrĩ wa bata ũrĩkũ? Wongereirwo kũrĩ kĩĩranĩro nĩguo wonanagie mahĩtia o nginya rĩrĩa mbeũ ĩrĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩeranĩire ĩgooka. Watho ũcio wathanirwo nĩ araika ũkĩnengererio andũ na guoko kwa mũiguithania.

Why, then, the law? It was added on account of transgression, till the seed should come to whom it was promised; being ordained by messengers, in the hand of a Mediator;

20 No rĩrĩ, mũiguithania ndakoragwo arũgamĩrĩire o mwena ũmwe; no Ngai nĩ ũmwe.

and the Mediator is not one party; but God is one party.

21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, kaĩ watho ũreganĩte na ciĩranĩro cia Ngai? Aca ti ũguo! Tondũ korwo kwarĩ na watho waheanirwo nĩguo andũ magĩe na muoyo-rĩ, ti-itherũ o naguo ũthingu nĩ ũngĩakĩrehirwo nĩ watho.

Is the law, then, contrary to the promise of God? By no means. For if there had been a law given, which was able to make alive, certainly righteousness would have been by law.

22 No Maandĩko moigaga atĩ andũ a thĩ nĩ mohetwo nĩ mehia, nĩgeetha kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa kĩheanagwo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Jesũ Kristũ kĩheagwo o arĩa metĩkĩtie.

But the scripture has shut up together all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 Ũhoro wa gwĩtĩkia ũtanooka-rĩ, twarĩ ohe nĩ watho, tũkahingĩrĩrio o nginya wĩtĩkio ũkaaguũranĩrio.

Wherefore, before faith came, we were kept in durance under law, shut up together to the faith, which should afterward be revealed.

24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio watho nĩguo waheirwo ũhoti wa gũtũtwara kũrĩ Kristũ, nĩguo tũtuuo athingu na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia.

So that the law has become our instructor to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 Na rĩrĩ, kuona atĩ rĩu ũhoro wa gwĩtĩkia nĩmũkinyu, tũtingĩcooka kũrũgamĩrĩrwo nĩ watho.

But faith being come, we are no longer under this instructor.

26 Inyuothe mũrĩ ciana cia Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Kristũ Jesũ,

For you are all the sons of God through the faith by Christ Jesus.

27 nĩgũkorwo inyuothe arĩa mwabatithirio thĩinĩ wa Kristũ nĩmwĩhumbĩte Kristũ.

Besides, as many of you have been immersed into Christ, have put on Christ.

28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtingĩcooka gũthuuranio Mũyahudi kana Mũyunani, na gũtirĩ ngombo kana mũndũ ũtarĩ ngombo, na gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja, nĩgũkorwo inyuothe mũrĩ ũmwe ki thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondman nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 Angĩkorwo mũrĩ a Kristũ-rĩ, mũkĩrĩ a mbeũ ya Iburahĩmu, na mũrĩ agai a kũgaya kũringana na kĩĩranĩro kĩu kĩĩranĩirwo.

And if you are Christ's, certainly you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
