Galesia 3

1 Hagi tamagra neginagi Galesia vahere, Nagra Jisasima rugeka zafare ahageno fri'nea kea ko huama hugeta antahi'nazanagi, ina ne'mo antahintahitamia tamazeri savrira nehie?

Foolish Galatians! Who has been fascinating you — you before whose very eyes Jesus Christ was depicted upon the cross?

2 Nagra mago'za tamagripintira kena erifore hu'za hue. Tamagrama Ruotge Avamuma eri'nazana, kasegemofo erizanteti eri'nazafi, ke nentahita tamentinti nehuta eri'naze.

Here is the one thing that I want to find out from you — Did you receive the Spirit as the result of obedience to Law, or of your having listened with faith?

3 Tamagra negi nenazafi? Avamumo eri agafa hu'nea eri'zana, tamagratami hanavereti erivagare'za nehazo?

Can you be so foolish? After beginning with what is spiritual, do you now end with what is external?

4 Tamagrama ko'ma knazama eri'nazana, amane eri'nazo? Nagrama nagesa antahuana amne knazana e'ori'naze.

Did you go through so much to no purpose? — if indeed it really was to no purpose!

5 Anumzamo'ma Ruotge Avamu'a neramamino, kaguvazama tamagripima erifore hu'neana, Mosese kasege avaririzageno anara hu'nefi? Anumzamofo ke nentahita, Agrite tamamentinti hazageno anara hu'ne?

He who supplies you abundantly with his Spirit and endows you with such powers — does he do this as the result of obedience to Law? or as the result of your having listened with faith?

6 Avontafemo'a anage hu'ne, Abrahamu'a amentinti higeno, Anumzamo'a fatgo nere huno agrikura hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 15:6)

It is just as it was with Abraham — ‘He had faith in God, and his faith was regarded by God as righteousness.’

7 E'ina hu'negu antahita ketama hanazana, zamentintima haza vahe'mo'zage, Abrahamu mofavre mani'naze.

You see, then, that those whose lives are based on faith are the Sons of Abraham.

8 Avontafepina anage huno krente'ne, Anumzamo'a megi'a vahera zmentinti hanageno zmavregahie huno hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo'a anage huno Abrahamuna Knare Musenkea asmino, Maka mopafi vahe'mo'za kagripinti asomura erigahaze huno hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 12:3)

And Scripture, foreseeing that God would pronounce the Gentiles righteous as the result of faith, foretold the Good News to Abraham in the words — ‘Through thee all the Gentiles shall be blessed.’

9 E'ina hu'negu iza'o amentintima hanimo'a, amentinti ne'ma Abrahamuma ami'nea asomura erigahie.

And, therefore, those whose lives are based on faith share the blessings bestowed upon the faith of Abraham.

10 Na'ankure kasegema avaririzante Anumzamo'a muse hunantegahie hanimo'a, kazusifi mani'ne. Anumzamofo avontafepina anage hu'ne, Mika vahe'mo'za mika kasegema amage'ma ontesnamo'za kazusifi manigahaze hu'ne. (Diu-Kas 27:26)

All who rely upon obedience to Law are under a curse, for Scripture says — ‘Cursed is every one who does not abide by all that is written in the Book of the Law, and do it.’

11 Hagi mago vahe'mo'e huno kasegema amage'ma antezampintira Anumzamofo avufina fatgo vahera omanigahie. Na'ankure Fatgo vahera zamentintima hanagu manigahaze. (Haba 2:4)

Again, it is evident that no one is pronounced righteous before God through Law, for we read — ‘Through faith the righteous man shall find Life.’

12 E'inahukna hianagi, kasegemo'a amentinti hu'zana omnene, Iza'zo e'inahu hu'za kasegemofo amage'ma nentesazamo'za, ana kasegere manigahaze. (Lev-Pri 18:5.)

But the Law is not based on faith; no, its words are — ‘Those who practice these precepts will find Life through them.’

13 Kasegemofo kazusifintira Kraisi'a mizaseranteno taza hu'neankino, ana kazusia Agra'a erino taza hu'ne. Na'ankure anage huno avontafepina krentene, Maka vahe'mo'za keka zafare'ma hanti'nesamo'za kazusifi mani'naze hu'ne. (Diu-Kas 21:22, 23)

Christ ransomed us from the curse pronounced in the Law, by taking the curse on himself for us, for Scripture says — ‘Cursed is any one who is hanged on a tree.’

14 E'ina hu'negu Abrahamuma huhamprinte'nea asomumo'a, Krais Jisasimpinti megia vahepina nevanigeta, tagra huvempa hu'nea Avamura tamentinti hanuta erigahune.

And this he did that the blessing given to Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through their union with Jesus Christ; that so, through our faith, we also might receive the promised gift of the Spirit.

15 Hagi nenfugate, Nagra vahe'mo'zama maka knama nehaza zmavuzmavate hunte'na tamasamiza hue, vahe'mo'za'ma mago'zama hu'naku mago zamarimpama hu'za kema hagerafinesaza kea, mago vahe'mo'a rugea huntege, eri atrege osugahie.

To take an illustration, Brothers, from daily life — No one sets aside even an agreement between two men, when once it has been confirmed, nor does he add conditions to it.

16 Korapara Anumzamo'a Abrahamunku'ene agripinti fore'ma hania mofavregura huvempa kea hunte'ne. Agra kagri mofavreramine huno osu'ne. Agra rama'a mofavreraminkura osu'ne. Magoke mofavregu huno anage hu'ne, Kagripinti fore'ma hanimo'ema hu'neana, e'i Kraisinku hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 17:7)

Now it was to Abraham that the promises were made, ‘and to his offspring.’ It was not said ‘to his offsprings,’ as if many persons were meant, but the words were ‘to thy offspring,’ showing that one person was meant — and that was Christ.

17 Hanki nagrama nehuana amanage nehue, esera Anumzamo'a Abrahamu'ene huvempa hutegeno, 430'a kafuzage evutegeno, henka kasegea efore hu'neankino, kasegemo'a Anumzamo'ma huvempama hu'nea kea eri otregahie.

My point is this — An agreement already confirmed by God cannot be canceled by the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to cause the promise to be set aside.

18 Na'ankure erisanti haregahaze hunesia zamo kasegefima manenesiana, huvempa hu'nea kefina omanesine. Hianagi Anumzamo'a Abrahamuna huvempa hunte'ne.

If our heritage is the result of Law, then it has ceased to be the result of a promise. Yet God conferred it on Abraham by a promise.

19 E'inama hu'nesiana, na'a agafare kasegea ami'ne? Kasegema zami'neana vahe'mo'za kefozama nehazaza keama hanazegu zami'ne. Hianagi ama ana kasegema avaririzamo'a memevuno, Anumzamo'ma huvempama hu'nea Mofavrema esia knare ome vagaregahie. E'i anazamo'a mago'ane ruzahu hu'ne. Anumzamo'a ankero vahera kasegea zamige'za, Anumzane, vahe'mofone amuno ne' Mosese ami'naze.

What, then, you ask, was the use of the Law? It was a later addition, to make men conscious of their wrong-doings, and intended to last only till the coming of that ‘offspring’ to whom the promise had been made; and it was delivered through angels by a mediator.

20 Tare vahe'moke kema hagerafinaku'ma hanakeno'a, amuno ne' mani'nenkene anara hugaragi, Anumzamo Agra'a huvempa Abrahamuna hunte'ne.

Now mediation implies more than one person, but God is one only.

21 Kasegemo'a Anumzamo huvempa hu'nea kene mago zanarimpa osu'napi? A'o, anara osu'ne! Hagi maka kasegemo'ma kasefa tasimuma tamisiana, tagra ana kasegege amage'nenteta Anumzamofo avurera fatgo vahera manusine.

Does that set the Law in opposition to God’s promises? Heaven forbid! For, if a Law had been given capable of bestowing Life, then righteousness would have actually owed its existence to Law.

22 Hianagi Anumzamofo avontafemo'a anage hu'ne, Kumi'mo'a maka vahera kina huzmante'negu, Anumzamo'ma huvempa hu'neazama erisazana magoke kana, Jisas Kraisinte zamentinti hanamo'za erigahaze.

But the words of Scripture represent the whole world as being in bondage to sin, so that the promised blessing, dependent, as it is, upon faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who have faith in him.

23 Hianagi amentintima hu'zama omenegeno, kasegemo kina rerantegeta manita neonkeno tamentinti hu'zana efore hu'ne.

Before the coming of faith, we were kept under the guard of the Law, in bondage, awaiting the Faith that was destined to be revealed.

24 E'ina hu'negu kasegemo'a kvagriranteno Jisas Kraisi knare ehanati'neankita, tagrama tamentinti hanuta Anumzamofo avurera fatgo vahera manigahune.

Thus the Law has proved a guide to lead us to Christ, in order that we may be pronounced righteous as the result of faith.

25 Hianagi tamentinti hu'zamo fore'ma hu'nea knafi mani'nonankino, kasegemo'a kegava kriorantegahie.

But now that faith has come we no longer need a guide.

26 Na'ankure tamagra maka'mota Jisas Kraisinte'ma tamentintima nehuta, Anumzamofo mofavre mani'naze.

For you are all Sons of God, through your faith in Christ Jesus.

27 Na'ankure tamagra maka'mota Jisas Kraisinte mono tina nefreta, Kraisina kukena hiaza nehaze.

For all of you who were baptized into union with Christ clothed yourselves with Christ.

28 Hanki Jiu vahero Griki vahera omanita, kazokzo vahe'ene amne vahera omanita, veo aro omani'naze. Na'ankure tamagra maka'mota Krais Jisasimpina magoke mani'naze.

All distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and freeman, male and female, have vanished; for in union with Christ Jesus you are all one.

29 Hagi tamagrama Kraisi vahe'ma mani'nenuta, tamagra Abrahamu negehogata mani'neta, erisanti haregahazema huno Anumzamo'ma huvempa hunte'nea vahera mani'naze.

And, since you belong to Christ, it follows that you are Abraham’s offspring and, under the promise, sharers in the inheritance.
