1 Mmwe Abaggalatiya abatalina magezi ani eyabaloga, so nga nabannyonnyola bulungi Yesu Kristo eyakomererwa ku musaalaba ne mukitegeera?
Hawu maGalathiya ayizithutha, ngubani oliloyileyo ukuze lingalaleli iqiniso, lina abekwa obala phambi kwamehlo enu uJesu Kristu, ebethelwe phakathi kwenu?
2 Kino kyokka kye njagala muntegeeze; mwaweebwa Mwoyo lwa bikolwa eby’amateeka, nantiki lwa kuwulira kwa kukkiriza?
Yilokhu kuphela engithanda ukukufunda kini ukuthi: Lemukela uMoya ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, loba ngokuzwa kokholo?
3 Muyinza mutya obutaba na magezi kutuuka awo, abaatandikira mu Mwoyo, kaakano mutuukirizibwa mu mubiri?
Kanti liyizithutha kangaka? Liqale ngoMoya selipheleliswa ngenyama yini?
4 Okubonaabona kwonna kwe mwabonaabona kwali kwa bwereere? Bwe kuba nga ddala kwa bwereere.
Lahlupheka izinto ezinengi kangaka ngeze yini? Uba-ke ngitsho ngeze.
5 Abawa Omwoyo n’abawa n’okukola eby’amaanyi mu mmwe, akola lwa bikolwa by’amateeka oba lwa kuwulira olw’okukkiriza?
Ngakho yena olinika uMoya losebenza imisebenzi yamandla phakathi kwenu, kungaba ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, kumbe ngokuzwa kokholo?
6 Ibulayimu yakkiriza Katonda ne kimubalirwa okuba obutuukirivu.
NjengoAbrahama wakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa-ke kuye ukuthi yikulunga.
7 Kale mumanye nti abo abakkiriza be baana ba Ibulayimu.
Ngakho liyazi ukuthi labo abangabokholo, bona bangabantwana bakaAbrahama.
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.”
Lombhalo, ubona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulungisisa abezizwe ngokholo, watshumayela ivangeli ngaphambili kuAbrahama wathi: Izizwe zonke zizabusiswa kuwe.
9 Noolwekyo abo abakkiriza bagabanira wamu omukisa ne Ibulayimu eyakkiriza.
Ngakho abangabokholo babusiswa kanye loAbrahama okholwayo.
10 Naye abo abafugibwa ebikolwa eby’amateeka, bafugibwa kikolimo; kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “Buli ataagobererenga byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu kitabo ky’amateeka, akolimiddwa.”
Ngoba bonke abemisebenzi yomlayo bangaphansi kwesiqalekiso; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke ongaqhubeki kukho konke okulotshiweyo encwadini yomlayo ukukwenza.
11 Kimanyiddwa bulungi nti tewali n’omu Katonda gw’awa butuukirivu olw’okukuuma amateeka, kubanga abatuukirivu banaabeeranga balamu lwa kukkiriza,
Kodwa kusobala ukuthi ngomlayo kakulamuntu olungisiswayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ngoba: Olungileyo uzaphila ngokholo;
12 naye amateeka tegeesigama ku kukkiriza, naye anaagagobereranga anaabeeranga mulamu mu go.
kodwa umlayo kawusiwo wokholo, kodwa kuthiwa: Umuntu owenza lezizinto uzaphila kuzo.
13 Kristo yatununula okuva mu kikolimo ky’amateeka, bwe yafuuka ekikolimo ku lwaffe, kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “Akolimiddwa buli awanikiddwa ku muti.”
UKristu wasihlenga kusiqalekiso somlayo, esenziwe waba yisiqalekiso esikhundleni sethu; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke olenga esihlahleni;
14 Kale kaakano amawanga gaweebwe omukisa gwa Ibulayimu, mu Kristo Yesu, tulyoke tuweebwe ekyasuubizibwa eky’Omwoyo olw’okukkiriza.
ukuze kuthi isibusiso sikaAbrahama sifike kwabezizwe ngoKristu Jesu, ukuze semukele isithembiso sikaMoya ngokholo.
15 Abooluganda njogera mu buntu; endagaano bw’eba ng’ekakasibbwa, tewabaawo agiggyawo newaakubadde agyongerako.
Bazalwane, ngikhuluma njengokomuntu; ngitsho isivumelwano somuntu esiqinisiweyo, kakho osichithayo loba osengezelelayo.
16 Katonda yasuubiza Ibulayimu n’Omwana we, naye tekigamba nti n’abaana be ng’abangi, naye yayogera ku omu, oyo ye Kristo.
Njalo izithembiso zakhulunywa kuAbrahama lenzalweni yakhe. Katsho ukuthi: Lezinzalweni, njengokungathi zinengi, kodwa njengokungathi ngeyodwa ukuthi: Lenzalweni yakho, enguKristu.
17 Kye ŋŋamba kye kino: endagaano eyakakasibwa Katonda nga wayiseewo emyaka ebikumi bina mu asatu n’efuuka etteeka, teyadibya ekyo ekyasuubizibwa.
Lalokho ngiyakutsho: Umlayo oweza emva kweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu kawusesuli isivumelwano esaqiniswa nguNkulunkulu kuKristu ngaphambili, ukuze usenze isithembiso sibe yize.
18 Kuba oba ng’obusika bwesigamye ku mateeka, buba tebukyali bwa kisuubizo; naye yabuwa Ibulayimu olw’okusuubiza.
Ngoba uba ilifa livela emlayweni, alisaveli esithembisweni; kodwa uNkulunkulu walinika uAbrahama ngesithembiso.
19 Kale lwaki amateeka gaateekebwawo? Gaagattibwa ku kisuubizo olw’aboonoonyi okutuusa ezzadde eryasuubizibwa lwe lirikomawo, nga lyawulibbwa mu bamalayika olw’omukono gw’omutabaganya.
Pho, umlayo uyini? Wengezwa ngenxa yeziphambeko, kuze kufike inzalo eyanikwa isithembiso; wamiswa ngezingilosi esandleni somlamuli.
20 Naye omutabaganya si w’omu, naye Katonda ali omu.
Kodwa umlamuli kayisuye woyedwa, kodwa uNkulunkulu munye.
21 Amateeka galwanagana n’ebyo Katonda bye yasuubiza? Kikafuuwe. Kubanga singa amateeka gaali galeeta obulamu, ddala ddala amateeka gandituwadde obutuukirivu.
Pho umlayo uphambene lezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu yini? Phinde! Ngoba uba wawunikiwe umlayo olamandla okuphilisa, isibili ukulunga ngabe kuvela ngomlayo.
22 Naye ebyawandiikibwa bitegeeza nti ebintu byonna bifugibwa kibi, ekyasuubizibwa kiryoke kiweebwe abakkiriza olw’okukkiriza mu Yesu Kristo.
Kodwa umbhalo uvalele konke ngaphansi kwesono, ukuze isithembiso ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu siphiwe abakholwayo.
23 Naye okukkiriza nga tekunnajja, twafugibwanga mateeka, nga tusibibwa olw’okukkiriza okugenda okubikkulwa;
Kodwa kungakafiki ukholo, sasilondolozwe ngaphansi komlayo, sivalelwe kuze kube sekholweni obeluzakwembulwa.
24 ge gaali gatukuuma, amateeka galyoke gatutuuse eri Kristo, tulyoke tuweebwe obutuukirivu olw’okumukkiriza.
Ngakho umlayo wawungumeluleki wethu kuKristu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokholo;
25 Naye okukkiriza bwe kwajja, ng’olwo tetukyetaaga mateeka kutukuuma.
kodwa selufikile ukholo, kasisekho ngaphansi kukameluleki.
26 Kubanga kaakano mwenna muli baana ba Katonda olw’okukkiriza Yesu Kristo,
Ngoba lonke lingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngokholo kuKristu Jesu.
27 kubanga abaabatizibwa bonna mu Kristo, baayambala Kristo.
Ngoba lonke elabhabhathizelwa kuKristu, lembethe uKristu;
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.
kakukho umJuda lomGriki, kakukho obotshiweyo lokhululekileyo, kakukho owesilisa lowesifazana; ngoba lina lonke limunye kuKristu Jesu.
29 Kale kaakano nga bwe muli aba Kristo, muli zadde lya Ibulayimu, ng’ekisuubizo ky’abasika bwe kiri.
Uba-ke lingabakaKristu, ngakho liyinzalo kaAbrahama, njalo liyizindlalifa njengokwesithembiso.
