Galasi 3
1 O nou menm moun Galatie ensanse yo! Kilès ki gen tan mete wanga sou nou konsa, pou nou refize laverite a? Nou menm devan zye a kilès, Jésus Kri te piblikman prezante kòm krisifye a?
Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Yeshua the Messiah was openly portrayed amongst you as crucified?
2 Sèl bagay ke m vle konnen de nou; Èske nou te resevwa Lespri a pa zèv Lalwa yo, oubyen pa tande avèk lafwa?
I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
3 Èske nou si tèlman ensanse? Èske nou te kòmanse avèk Lespri a, epi koulye a nou ap vin pafè pa lachè?
Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
4 Èske nou te soufri tout bagay sa yo anven—si vrèman se te anven?
Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
5 Alò, èske Sila ki founi nou avèk Lespri a e ki te fè zèv mirak pami nou yo, te fè li pa zèv Lalwa yo, oubyen pa tande ak lafwa.
He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles amongst you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
6 Malgre sa “Abraham te kwè Bondye, e sa te konte pou Li kòm ladwati.”
Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
7 Konsa, se pou nou asire ke se sila ki nan lafwa yo ki se fis Abraham.
Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.
8 Lekriti sen an, ki te prevwa ke Bondye ta jistifye pèp etranje yo pa lafwa, te preche levanjil la davans a Abraham. Konsa, li te di: “Tout nasyon yo va beni nan ou”.
The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
9 Alò sila ki nan lafwa yo, beni pa Abraham, kwayan an.
So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
10 Paske tout sa ki nan zèv Lalwa yo anba yon madichon. Paske sa ekri: “Modi se tout moun ki pa respekte tout bagay ki ekri nan liv Lalwa a, pou fè yo.”
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the scroll of the Torah, to do them.”
11 Alò, li klè ke pèsòn pa jistifye pa Lalwa devan Bondye, paske “Moun jis la va viv pa lafwa”.
Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
12 Sepandan, Lalwa a pa selon lafwa; okontrè: “Sila ki pratike yo a va viv pa yo menm.”
The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
13 Kris te delivre nou de madichon Lalwa a, akoz Li te devni yon madichon pou nou—paske sa ekri: “Modi se tout moun ki pann sou yon bwa.”
Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”
14 Pouke nan Kris Jésus, benediksyon Abraham yo ta kapab vini pou pèp etranje yo, pou nou ta kapab resevwa pwomès a Lespri Sen an pa lafwa.
that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Messiah Yeshua, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 Frè m yo mwen pale nan tèm relasyon moun ak moun; menm si se sèlman yon akò moun, depi li fin etabli, nanpwen moun k ap mete l sou kote oubyen ajoute kondisyon ladann.
Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds to it.
16 Alò, pwomès yo te pale a Abraham ak posterite li. Li pa t di, “a posterite ou yo”, kòm referans a anpil moun, men de preferans a yon sèl moun: “E a posterite ou”, sa se Kris.
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Messiah.
17 Sa ke m vle di a se sa: Lalwa, ki te vini kat-san-trant ane pita a, pa anile akò sa ki te deja etabli pa Bondye, kòmsi pou anile pwomès la.
Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Messiah, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
18 Paske si eritaj la baze sou lalwa, li pa baze sou yon pwomès ankò; men Bondye te bay li a Abraham pa mwayen de yon pwomès.
For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
19 Alò, poukisa Lalwa a? Li te ajoute akoz de transgresyon yo, ki te òdone atravè zanj yo pa ajans a yon medyatè, jiskaske semans lan ta kapab rive a Sila pwomès la te fèt la.
Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 Alò yon medyatè pa pou yon sèl pati, tandiske Bondye se yon sèl.
Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
21 Konsa, èske Lalwa a vin kont pwomès a Bondye yo. Ke sa pa ta janm fèt! Paske si te gen yon lwa ki ta kapab bay lavi, alò, ladwati ta vrèman baze sou Lalwa.
Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
22 Men Lekriti sen an anchene tout bagay anba peche, pou pwomès la, pa lafwa nan Jésus Kri a, ta kapab bay a sila ki kwè yo.
But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Yeshua the Messiah might be given to those who believe.
23 Men avan lafwa te vini, nou te kenbe kòm yon depandan anba Lalwa, sans akse a lafwa ki t ap vin revele pita.
But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Konsa, Lalwa te devni pwofesè lekòl nou, pou mennen nou a Kris, pou nou ta kapab jistifye pa lafwa.
So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Messiah, that we might be justified by faith.
25 Men koulye a, ke lafwa rive, nou pa anba yon pwofesè lekòl ankò.
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26 Paske nou tout se fis a Bondye pa lafwa nan Kris Jésus.
For you are all children of God, through faith in Messiah Yeshua.
27 Paske nou tout ki te batize nan Kris la te abiye tèt nou avèk Kris.
For as many of you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah.
28 Pa gen ni Grèk, ni Jwif, ni esklav, ni lib, pa gen ni mal ni femèl; paske nou tout se youn nan Kris Jésus.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua.
29 Epi si nou apatyen a Kris, nou se desandan a Abraham, eritye selon pwomès la.
If you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
