Galasi 3
1 Nou menm moun peyi Galasi, ala sòt nou sòt! Kilès nou kite pran tèt nou konsa, nou menm ki te konnen tout ti detay sou jan Kris la te mouri sou kwa a?
O thoughtless Galatians, who bewitched you, not to obey the truth—before whose eyes [it] was previously written [about] Jesus Christ having been crucified?
2 Mwen ta renmen nou reponn yon sèl ti keksyon sa a ban mwen: Eske se paske nou te fè tou sa lalwa a te mande kifè nou te resevwa Lespri Bondye a, osinon èske se paske nou te tande bon nouvèl la?
I only wish to learn this from you: did you receive the Spirit by works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Ki jan nou fè egare konsa? Nou konmanse ak pouvwa Lespri Bondye a, koulye a nou vle fini ak pwòp fòs kouraj nou?
Are you so thoughtless? Having begun in the Spirit, do you now end in the flesh?
4 Eske se pou gremesi nou te fè esperyans sa yo? Non, se pa vre, se pa ka pou gremesi.
So many things you suffered in vain! If, indeed, even in vain.
5 Lè Bondye ban nou Lespri l', lè li fè mirak sa yo nan mitan nou, èske li fè sa paske nou fè sa lalwa mande, osinon paske nou mete konfyans nou nan li lè nou tande bon nouvèl la?
He, therefore, who is supplying the Spirit to you and working mighty acts among you—[is it] by works of law or by the hearing of faith?
6 Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la menm: Abraram te mete konfyans li nan Bondye. Se poutèt sa Bondye te fè l' gras.
According as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;
7 Konsa, se pou nou konprann sa byen: Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Bondye, se yo menm ki pitit Abraram.
know, then, that those of faith—these are sons of Abraham,
8 Moun ki te ekri nan Liv la te wè davans Bondye t'ap fè moun ki pa jwif yo gras tou poutèt konfyans yo ta gen nan li. Se konsa li bay Abraram bon nouvèl sa a davans tou: Gremesi ou, tout nasyon sou latè va jwenn benediksyon.
and the Writing, having foreseen that God declares righteous the nations by faith, foretold the good news to Abraham:
9 Se paske Abraram te mete konfyans li nan Bondye kifè Bondye te beni li. Konsa, tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Bondye va resevwa benediksyon Bondye a ansanm ak Abraram.
“All the nations will be blessed in you”; so that those of faith are blessed with the believing Abraham,
10 Moun ki mete nan lide yo lalwa a ka sove yo, yo anba madichon. Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Madichon pou tout moun ki pa fè tou sa ki ekri nan Liv lalwa a tout tan.
for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it has been written: “Cursed [is] everyone who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Scroll of the Law—to do them,”
11 Lalwa pa kapab fè Bondye fè pesonn gras. Se bagay ki klè. Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Moun Bondye fè gras paske yo gen konfyans nan li, se yo menm ki va gen lavi.
and [it] is evident that in law no one is declared righteous with God, because “The righteous will live by faith”;
12 Lalwa pa gen anyen pou l' wè ak lafwa. Okontrè, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Moun k'ap fè tou sa lalwa mande a va jwenn lavi ladan l'.
and the Law is not by faith, rather, “The man who did them will live in them.”
13 Kris la delivre nou anba madichon lalwa lè li te pran madichon an nan plas nou. Se konsa sa te ekri nan Liv la: Madichon pou moun yo pandye sou bwa a.
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us, for it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who is hanging on a tree,”
14 Sa te fèt konsa pou moun ki pa jwif yo te ka rive resevwa benediksyon Bondye te pwomèt Abraram lan gremesi Jezikri, pou nou tout te ka resevwa Lespri Bondye te pwomèt la, paske nou te mete konfyans nou nan li.
that the blessing of Abraham may come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 Frè m' yo, mwen pral pran egzanp sou yon bagay ki rive chak jou: Lè yon moun fè testaman l' byen fèt, pesonn pa ka kase l', ni pesonn pa ka ajoute anyen ladan li.
Brothers, I say [it] as a man, no one even makes void or adds to a confirmed covenant of man,
16 Enben, Bondye te fè pwomès sa yo pou Abraram ak pitit pitit li a. Yo pa t' ekri: ak pitit pitit li yo, tankou si yo te vle pale sou anpil moun, men yo ekri: ak pitit pitit ou a. Yo t'ap pale sou yon sèl moun, moun sa a se te Kris la.
and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his Seed; He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” which is Christ;
17 Men sa mwen vle di: Bondye te fè testaman sa a, epi li te pwomèt li t'ap kenbe li. Lalwa a menm te vini katsantrant (430) an apre sa. Se sak fè, lalwa a pa kapab kase testaman sa a, ni li pa kapab fè pwomès la tonbe.
and this I say, a covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the Law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, does not set aside, to make void the promise,
18 Paske, si kado Bondye bay la te chita sou lalwa Moyiz la, se pa ta yon pwomès ankò kado a ta ye. Men, Bondye te bay Abraram favè sa a paske li te pwomèt li sa.
for if the inheritance [is] by law, [it is] no longer by promise, but God granted [it] to Abraham through promise.
19 Poukisa yo te bay lalwa a menm? Yo te ajoute lalwa a pou l' te ka fè nou konnen bagay ki kont volonte Bondye. Lalwa a te fèt pou l' te la toutotan pitit pitit Abraram lan pa t' ankò vini, paske se pou li Bondye te fè pwomès la. Se zanj Bondye yo ki te bay lalwa, epi se yon nonm ki te sèvi entèmedyè.
Why, then, the Law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the Seed might come to which the promise has been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator—
20 Lè yon moun pou kont li, li pa bezwen entèmedyè. Bondye pou kont li.
and the mediator is not of one, but God is one.
21 Eske lalwa Moyiz la kont pwomès Bondye yo? Men non. Si zanj yo te bay yon lalwa ki te kapab bay moun lavi, enben, lalwa sa a ta kapab fè Bondye fè moun gras.
[Is] the Law, then, against the promises of God? Let it not be! For if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly there would have been righteousness by law,
22 Men, Liv la di: Tout bagay anba pouvwa peche a. Konsa, moun ki gen lafwa, se yo ki va resevwa kado Bondye te pwomèt yo, paske yo te mete konfyans yo nan Jezikri.
but the Writing shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.
23 Anvan lè a te rive pou n' te ka gen konfyans, lalwa te kenbe nou prizonye anba men l', jouk tan pou Bondye te devwale kalite konfyans sa a.
And before the coming of faith, we were being kept under law, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,
24 Konsa, lalwa te tankou yon moun ki la pou veye nou, jouk lè Kris la te gen pou vini pou n' te ka kwè nan li pou Bondye te fè nou gras.
so that the Law became our tutor—to Christ, that we may be declared righteous by faith,
25 Men koulye a, lè a rive pou nou gen konfyans nan Kris la; nou pa anba men moun ki t'ap veye nou an ankò.
and faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor,
26 Se paske nou gen konfyans nan Jezikri kifè nou se pitit Bondye.
for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
27 Nou tout, nou te resevwa batèm pou n' te ka viv ansanm ak Kris la, nou mete sou nou kalite ki nan Kris yo.
for as many as were immersed into Christ put on Christ;
28 Koulye a pa gen diferans ant moun ki jwif ak moun ki pa jwif, pa gen diferans ant moun ki esklav ak moun ki pa esklav, ant fanm ak gason. Nou tout nou fè yonn nan Jezikri.
there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither servant nor freeman, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus;
29 Si ou se moun Kris la, enben ou se pitit pitit Abraram. Ou gen pou resevwa eritaj Bondye te pwomèt la.
and if you [are] of Christ then you are seed of Abraham, and heirs according to promise.
