Wagalatia 3
1 Bhagalatia bhajinga, lihu leleku la uovu lalibhahalibu? Je Yesu Kristu alasibhu lepi katya msulubibwa palongolo pa mihu gha yhomo?
You Galatians, you've lost your heads! Who has put you under a spell? The death of Jesus Christ on a cross was clearly presented to you so you could see!
2 Nene nilonda tu kumanya ele kuhomela kwa muenga. Je mwapokili Roho kwa matendo gha Sheria au ndo mwaamini kela kamwapeliki?
So tell me—did you receive the Spirit by keeping the law, or by placing your trust in what you heard?
3 Ko, muenga ni bhajinga kiasi ekhe? ko mwayandili mu Roho ili mmalai mu mbhele?
You really have lost your heads! You began living in the Spirit. Do you really think you can now make yourselves perfect by your own human efforts?
4 Ko mwatesiki kwa mambo mingi mebhwa, katya kueli ghayele gha mebhwa?
Did you go through so much suffering for nothing? (It really wasn't for nothing was it?)
5 Ko muene yaipisya Roho kwa muenga ni kubhomba matendo gha nghofo kwa yhomo iketa kwa matendo gha sheria au kwa kup'etela pamonga ni imani?
Let me ask you: does God give you the Spirit and do so many miracles among you because you keep the law, or is it because you trust in what you heard?
6 Abraham “Amwamini K'yara ahesabibhu kujo mwenye haki”.
It's just like Abraham who “trusted God, and was considered to be right.”
7 Kwa namna yela yela muyelewahi ya ndabha, bhala bhabhiamini yakuwa ni bhana bha Abraham.
So you should acknowledge that those who trust in God are the children of Abraham.
8 Liyandiku latabilibhu yakuwa K'yara ngabhahesabili haki bhanu bha mataifa kwa njela ya imani. Injili yahubilibhu hosi kwa Abraham:”Kwa bhebhe mataifa ghoa ghibalikibhwa”.
In Scripture it's foreseen that God would make right the foreigners who trusted in him. The good news is revealed to Abraham beforehand with the words, “Through you all the nations will be blessed.”
9 Ili kabhele bhabhayele niimani bhabalikibhuayi pamonga ni Abraham, yaayele ni imani.
Consequently those who trust in God are blessed along with Abraham who trusted God.
10 Bhala bhoa bhabhitegemela matendo gha sheria bhayele pasi mu laana. Kwa ndabha iyandikibhu, “Alanibhu kila munu yaishikamanahee ni mambo ghoa ghaghayandikibhu mukitabu ka sheria, kughabhomba ghoa.”
All those who rely on keeping the law are under a curse, for as Scripture says, “Cursed is everyone who doesn't carefully obey everything that's written in the book of the law.”
11 Henu ndo bhuasi yakuwa K'yara akamwesabilahee haki hata immonga musheria, kwa ndabha, “Yaayele ni haki alaishi ki imani”
Clearly nobody is made right with God by attempting to keep the law, for “Those who are made right will live by trusting God.”
12 Sheria yihomelahe ni imani, Badala yaki “Yaifwanyai mambo agha kup'etela sheria, alaishi kisheria”.
Obedience to the law has nothing to do with trusting God. Scripture only says, “You will live if you observe everything the law requires.”
13 istu atukombhuili tete kuhomela mu laana ya sheria yapayafwanyikai laana kwajia yhoto. Kwa ndabha iyandikibhu, “Alanibhuayi” kila munu yaibinai munani mulibehe.”
Christ has rescued us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. As Scripture says, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
14 Lilengo layele ya ndabha, baraka ambasyo sasa yele kwa Ibrahimu ngasaidai kwa bhanu bhamataifa kup'etela Yesu Kristu, yakuwa tubhwesyai kuyhopa ahadi ya Roho kup'etela imani.
so that through Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham could come to the foreigners as well, and we could receive the promise of the Spirit by trusting God.
15 Ndongo, nikabhajobhela na kibinadamu. Kabhele magono ambapo agano la kibinadamu palimalikai kubhekibhwa imara, ayelepi yaibhwesyai kupuuza au kuyongesela.
Brothers and sisters, here's an example from daily life. If a contract is drawn up and agreed, signed and sealed, nobody can ignore it or add to it.
16 Henu ahadi sajobhibhu kwa Ibrahimu ni kizazikya muene. Yijobhahee, “Kwa vizazi,” kumaanisya bhingi, badala yaki kwa mmonga yumuene, “Kwa kizazi kyako,” ambaye ndo Kristu.
Now the promises were given to Abraham, and to his son. It doesn't say, “sons” as if plural, but singular: “and to your son,” meaning Christ.
17 Henu nijobha nah, sheria ya yahidili miaka 430 badaye, yibhosya lepi agano la kunyuma lalibheki bhusima ni K'yara.
Let me explain. The law, coming four hundred and thirty years later, doesn't cancel the previous agreement that God made, breaking the promise.
18 Yandabha kujo ulisi ngawahidili ki njela ya sheria, ngaiyelepi kabhele kuhida kwa njela ya ahadi. Ndabha K'yara apisili mebhwa kwa Ibrahimu kwa njela ya ahadi.
If the inheritance is derived from obedience to the law, it no longer comes from the promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham by means of the promise.
19 Kwandayakiki henu sheria yapisibhu? Yayongisibhu ndabha ya makosa, mpaka mzao wa Ibrahimu ulota kwa bhala ambabho kwa bhene amalili kuhaidibhwa. Sheria yabhekibhu ki shinikizo kup'etela malaika kwa kibhoko Kya kupatanisya.
What was the point of the law, then? It was added to show what wrongdoing really is, until the son came to whom the promise had been made. The law was put in place by angels through the hand of a mediator.
20 Henu mpatanishi imaanisya zaidi ya munu mmonga, ndo K'yara yumuene.
But a mediator isn't needed when there's only one person involved. And God is one!
21 Kwa ele ko sheria iyele kinyume ni ahadi sa K'yara? La hasha! kwa ndabha sheria yaiyele ipisibhu iyele ni ubhueso wa kuleta usima, haki ngaipatikene kwa sheria.
So does the law work against God's promises? Of course not! For if there was a law that could give life, then we could be made right by keeping it.
22 Badala yaki, liyandiku lifungili mambo ghoa pasi mu thambi. K'yara aketili naa ili ya ndabha ahadi ya muene ya kutookola tete kwa imani kup'etela Yesu Kristu lbhuesyai kupatikana kwa bhala bhabhiamini.
But Scripture tells us that we all are prisoners of sin. The only way we can receive God's promises is by trusting in Jesus Christ.
23 Kabula ya imani ya Kristu kuhida, twayele tufungibhu ni kuya pasi pa sheria hadi pawihidai ufunuo was imani.
Before we trusted in Jesus we remained in the custody of the law until this way of trusting was revealed.
24 Kwa ele sheria yafwanyiki kwa kiongozi wa yhoto hadi Kristu pahaaidayi, ndabha tuhesabibhuayi mu haki ni mwimani.
The law was our guardian until Christ came, so that we could be made right by trusting him.
25 Henu yandabha imani ihidili, tuyelepi kabhele pasi pabha angalizi.
But now this way of trusting Jesus has come, we no longer need such a guardian.
26 Kwa ndabha muenga mwabhoa ndo bhana bha K'yara kup'etela imani ni Kristu Yesu.
For you are all God's children through your trust in Christ Jesus.
27 Mwabhoa bhambatizibhu kup'etela Kristu mmjifwekili Kristu.
All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 Ayelepi Myaudi wala Myunani, n'tumwa wala huru, bhagosi wala bhadala, kwandabha muenga mwabhoa n'do bhamonga kup'etela Kristu Yesu.
There's no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female—you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 Kama muenga ndo bha Kristu, basi ndo uzao wa Ibrahimu, bharithi mu jibu wa ahadi.
If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's children, and you are heirs of the promise!
