Abaggalatiya 3
1 Mmwe Abaggalatiya abatalina magezi ani eyabaloga, so nga nabannyonnyola bulungi Yesu Kristo eyakomererwa ku musaalaba ne mukitegeera?
O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?
2 Kino kyokka kye njagala muntegeeze; mwaweebwa Mwoyo lwa bikolwa eby’amateeka, nantiki lwa kuwulira kwa kukkiriza?
This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Muyinza mutya obutaba na magezi kutuuka awo, abaatandikira mu Mwoyo, kaakano mutuukirizibwa mu mubiri?
Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
4 Okubonaabona kwonna kwe mwabonaabona kwali kwa bwereere? Bwe kuba nga ddala kwa bwereere.
Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
5 Abawa Omwoyo n’abawa n’okukola eby’amaanyi mu mmwe, akola lwa bikolwa by’amateeka oba lwa kuwulira olw’okukkiriza?
He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you; doth he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?
6 Ibulayimu yakkiriza Katonda ne kimubalirwa okuba obutuukirivu.
As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
7 Kale mumanye nti abo abakkiriza be baana ba Ibulayimu.
Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 Olw’okuba nga baategeera ebiribaawo n’ekyawandiikibwa, ng’olw’okukkiriza, Katonda aliwa amawanga obutuukirivu, Enjiri kyeyava ebuulirwa Ibulayimu edda nti, “Mu ggwe amawanga gonna mwe galiweerwa omukisa.”
And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 Noolwekyo abo abakkiriza bagabanira wamu omukisa ne Ibulayimu eyakkiriza.
Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 Naye abo abafugibwa ebikolwa eby’amateeka, bafugibwa kikolimo; kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “Buli ataagobererenga byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu kitabo ky’amateeka, akolimiddwa.”
For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one, that abideth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 Kimanyiddwa bulungi nti tewali n’omu Katonda gw’awa butuukirivu olw’okukuuma amateeka, kubanga abatuukirivu banaabeeranga balamu lwa kukkiriza,
But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
12 naye amateeka tegeesigama ku kukkiriza, naye anaagagobereranga anaabeeranga mulamu mu go.
But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.
13 Kristo yatununula okuva mu kikolimo ky’amateeka, bwe yafuuka ekikolimo ku lwaffe, kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “Akolimiddwa buli awanikiddwa ku muti.”
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 Kale kaakano amawanga gaweebwe omukisa gwa Ibulayimu, mu Kristo Yesu, tulyoke tuweebwe ekyasuubizibwa eky’Omwoyo olw’okukkiriza.
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
15 Abooluganda njogera mu buntu; endagaano bw’eba ng’ekakasibbwa, tewabaawo agiggyawo newaakubadde agyongerako.
Brethren (I speak after the manner of man, ) yet a man’s testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth, nor addeth to it.
16 Katonda yasuubiza Ibulayimu n’Omwana we, naye tekigamba nti n’abaana be ng’abangi, naye yayogera ku omu, oyo ye Kristo.
To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 Kye ŋŋamba kye kino: endagaano eyakakasibwa Katonda nga wayiseewo emyaka ebikumi bina mu asatu n’efuuka etteeka, teyadibya ekyo ekyasuubizibwa.
Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.
18 Kuba oba ng’obusika bwesigamye ku mateeka, buba tebukyali bwa kisuubizo; naye yabuwa Ibulayimu olw’okusuubiza.
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Kale lwaki amateeka gaateekebwawo? Gaagattibwa ku kisuubizo olw’aboonoonyi okutuusa ezzadde eryasuubizibwa lwe lirikomawo, nga lyawulibbwa mu bamalayika olw’omukono gw’omutabaganya.
Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Naye omutabaganya si w’omu, naye Katonda ali omu.
Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
21 Amateeka galwanagana n’ebyo Katonda bye yasuubiza? Kikafuuwe. Kubanga singa amateeka gaali galeeta obulamu, ddala ddala amateeka gandituwadde obutuukirivu.
Was the law then against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.
22 Naye ebyawandiikibwa bitegeeza nti ebintu byonna bifugibwa kibi, ekyasuubizibwa kiryoke kiweebwe abakkiriza olw’okukkiriza mu Yesu Kristo.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
23 Naye okukkiriza nga tekunnajja, twafugibwanga mateeka, nga tusibibwa olw’okukkiriza okugenda okubikkulwa;
But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
24 ge gaali gatukuuma, amateeka galyoke gatutuuse eri Kristo, tulyoke tuweebwe obutuukirivu olw’okumukkiriza.
Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 Naye okukkiriza bwe kwajja, ng’olwo tetukyetaaga mateeka kutukuuma.
But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
26 Kubanga kaakano mwenna muli baana ba Katonda olw’okukkiriza Yesu Kristo,
For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
27 kubanga abaabatizibwa bonna mu Kristo, baayambala Kristo.
For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.
28 Tewakyali kusosola wakati wa Muyudaaya na Muyonaani, wakati wa muddu na wa ddembe, wakati wa musajja na mukazi, kubanga mwenna muli omu mu Kristo Yesu.
There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 Kale kaakano nga bwe muli aba Kristo, muli zadde lya Ibulayimu, ng’ekisuubizo ky’abasika bwe kiri.
And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
