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 inconsiderate Galatians! who has deceived you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ crucified, was evidently represented among you?
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?
This, only, I wish to learn from you, did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by obedience 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 inconsiderate that, having begun in Spirit, you are now made perfect in flesh?
4 Eske se pou gremesi nou te fè esperyans sa yo? Non, se pa vre, se pa ka pou gremesi.
Have you suffered so many things in vain? if, indeed, it is 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, 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 Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la menm: Abraram te mete konfyans li nan Bondye. Se poutèt sa Bondye te fè l' gras.
even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted 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, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same 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.
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 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.
Wherefore, they who are of faith are blessed with 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.
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 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.
Besides, that by law no one is justified before God is manifest: "For the just by faith shall live."
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'.
Now, the law is not of faith; but he who does these things, shall live by 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 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 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 might come on the nations through Christ Jesus; and that we might 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.
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: no one sets aside, or alters a man's Will, after it is ratified.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Besides, if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise. But God bestowed it freely on Abraham by 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 transgression, till the seed should come to whom it was promised; being ordained by 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 one party; but God is one party.
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, 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 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 scripture has shut up together all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
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.
Wherefore, before faith came, we were kept in durance under law, shut up together to the faith, which should afterward 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 has become our instructor to Christ, that we might be justified 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.
But faith being come, we are no longer under this instructor.
26 Se paske nou gen konfyans nan Jezikri kifè nou se pitit Bondye.
For you are all the sons of God through the faith by 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.
Besides, as many of you have been immersed into Christ, have 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 bondman nor freeman, there is neither male nor 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 Christ's, certainly you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
