Agalatiya 3

1 Zihole za Magalata! Menso aani mavilala avamileteli inkonzi? Kana kuti Jesu Krisite ava swaniswe na hanzikwitwe habusu bwa menso enu? Kuti kanzi mukuteki initi?

Foolish Galatians, who has cunningly deceived you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth as crucified?

2 Nisa kulituta izi kwenu. Chumuva amuhela luhuho lujola cha musebezi wamulao kapa chakuzumina chimubazuwi?

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 Muzihole ahulu? Muvatangi mu luhuho feela ni kumana hanu mwi nyama?

Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

4 Kana muvavi ni nzivo ingi isena chimwi-Heba cheniti ni kusena?

Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

5 Lunu iye yomiha luhuho ni ku panga imakazo zikolete mukati kanu uzipanga cha mulao kapa cha kuzuwa che tumelo?

He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

6 Abrahama “A vazumine kwa Ireeza mi a vazumininwa cha kuluka kwakwe.”

Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."

7 Mwinzila iswana, kuzuwisisa, linu, kuti avo va zumina vaana va Abrahama.

Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

8 Mi iñolo chakuvona kuti Ireeza kachenise valichava che intumelo. Inzwii nilya wambailwa che ntanzi kwa Abrahama: “Mwaako mishovao yonse ye nkanda kayi itonolofazwe.”

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the non-Jews by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "Through you all the nations will be blessed."

9 Kuti linu, avo veena itumelo va tonolofezwe ni Abrahama, yavena intumelo.

So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

10 Avo vahalila ha musebezi wa mulao vena mwikonde lya chikuto. Kakuli ku ñoletwe, va kutitwe vantu vonse vasechilili zintu ziñoletwe mwi mbuka yamulao, kuzipanga zonse.”

For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."

11 Hanu kuvoneka cwale kuti Ireeza kachenisi muntu cha mulao, kakuti “Valukite muvahale che intumelo.”

Now it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, for, "The righteous will live by faith."

12 Mulao kawuzwi kwintumelo, kono nihakuva vulyo, “Iye yo panga izi zintu chamulao mwahale cho milao.”

The law is not of faith, but, "The one who does them will live by them."

13 Kresite ava tuhazi kuchikuto cha mulao heza kuba chikuto chetu. Kakuti kuñoletwe, “Yo kutitwe muntu yense yo dengelela kwi samu.”

Christ 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 Vutokwa ivali kuti imboyoti ivena kwa Abrahama pona chikeza ku chicaba chaa Jesu Keresite. Ili kuti chitutambula insepiso yaluhuho che intumelo.

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the non-Jews through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Vaakwaangu, niwamba cha mukwa wa muntu. Nihaike chilikani cha bantu chicha kolela, ka kwina yowola kuchikani kapa kuchi ekeza.

Brothers, I am speaking in human terms. Though it is only a human covenant, once it has been ratified, no one annuls it or adds to it.

16 Hanu insepiso ziva zivawamba kwa Abrahama ni lusika lwakwe. Kakuwambi kuti, “kulusika lwakwe,” kuvoza kuvaangi, kono nihakuba bulyo kumuntu yenke, “nikulusika lwenu,” yeli nji Keresite.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He does not say, "And to offsprings," as of many, but as of one, "And to your offspring," which is Christ.

17 Hanu ni wamba izi. Mulao, uvekezi mwaaka yina miyanda yone ne makumi otatwe ku masule aho, kaikanisi chilikani chibapangwa kuma masule ni Ireeza.

Now I say this: the law, which came four hundred thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to cancel the promise.

18 Kakuti chifumu chibakezi cho mulao, ni chisena chibakezi che nzila ye sepiso. Kono Ireeza chakulukuluha ava chihi Abrahama che isepiso.

For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

19 Chinzi linu mulao ha u vahewa? Uva ekezwa che baka lya mafosisa, mbwita valusika lwa Abrahama lu vakwiza kwavo vavasepiswe. Mulao uva vikwa cha mañiloi che yanza lya muzimanini.

What then is 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 Linu muzimanini uzimanina bantu bahitilila muntu yenke, kono Ireeza yenke bulyo.

Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

21 Kana mulao ulwisanisa insepo ya Ireeza? Sanzi kuwamba vulyo! Cwale mulao heva u bahewa u va kuwola kuha buhalo, valukite vava kuswanela cheniti kwiza cha mulao.

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not. For if there had been a law given which could give life, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

22 Kono nihakuba bulyo, iñolo lisuminine zintu zonse mwikonde lya chivi. Ireeza ava tendi izi kuti insepiso yakwe itutuse che ntumelo mi Jesu Kresite pona cho hewa kwa vo vazumina.

But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

23 Kono intumelo ni seni kusika cha Keresite, tuva suminwe ni ku lyatililwa cha mulao kusikila hakuvezili insinulo ya ntumelo.

But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Cwale linu mulao chi wa keza kuba Muvavaleli wetu kusikila Jesu hasika, ili kuti tu tucheniswe che ntumelo.

So that the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 Hanu intumelo hachiya keza, katusina mwi konde lya muvavaleli.

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

26 Kakuti muvonse muvana ve Ireeza mwi intumelo cha Jesu Keresite.

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

27 Muvonse mu kolovezwa cha Kresite muvalizwatiki Kresite muvene.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28 Kakusina kuti uzu mu Juda kapa Mu Gerike, muhikana kapa mulukuluhi, mukwame kapa mwanakazi, kakuti muvonse muchintu chonke kwa Jesu Keresite.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 Haiva muva Kresite, Linu muva lusika lwa Abrahama, mikamuyole kakuya che nsepiso.

If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.
