Karatia 3

1 E nga Karatia whakaarokore, na wai koutou i whaiwhaia, i whakakitea nuitia na a Ihu Karaiti ki o koutou kanohi, he mea ripeka?

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the trueth, to whome Iesus Christ before was described in your sight, and among you crucified?

2 Heoi taku e mea ana kia whakaakona mai e koutou, No nga mahi ranei o te ture i riro mai ai te Wairua i a koutou, na te mea ranei ka rongo ki te whakapono?

This only would I learne of you, Receiued ye the Spirit by the workes of the Lawe, or by the hearing of faith preached?

3 Ha, kia pena koutou te whakaarokore? i runga i te Wairua ta koutou timatanga, a me whakaoti ranei e koutou i runga i te kikokiko?

Are ye so foolish, that after ye haue begun in the Spirit, ye would now be made perfect by the flesh?

4 He huakore noa iho ranei o koutou matenga maha? ki te mea ra he mea huakore.

Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if so be it be euen in vaine.

5 Na, ko te kaiwhakawhiwhi i a koutou ki te Wairua, e mahi nei hoki i nga merekara i roto i a koutou, no nga mahi ranei o te ture tana, no te rongo ranei ki te whakapono?

He therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it through the workes of the Law, or by the hearing of faith preached?

6 Ka rite hoki ki a Aperahama i whakapono ki te Atua, a whakairia ana ki a ia hei tika.

Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes.

7 Na, kia matau koutou, ko te hunga o te whakapono, he tamariki enei na Aperahama.

Knowe ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 A, i te kitenga o te karaipiture i mua, he whakapono ta te Atua hei whakatika mo nga tauiwi, ka kauwhautia wawetia te rongopai ki a Aperahama, Mau ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa.

For the Scripture foreseeing, that God would iustifie the Gentiles through faith, preached before the Gospel vnto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

9 Ina, ko te hunga o te whakapono, e manaakitia ngatahitia ana me Aperahama i whakapono ra.

So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham.

10 Ko te hunga katoa hoki o nga mahi o te ture, kei raro ratou i te kanga: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka kanga nga tangata katoa kahore e mau ki nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o te ture, hei mahi ma ratou.

For as many as are of the workes of the Lawe, are vnder the curse: for it is written, Cursed is euery man that continueth not in all things, which are written in the booke of the Law, to doe them.

11 He hanga marama ano tenei, e kore e tika i te ture tetahi tangata ki te aroaro o te Atua: Ma te whakapono hoki e ora ai te tangata tika.

And that no man is iustified by the Law in the sight of God, it is euident: for the iust shall liue by faith.

12 He teka hoki no te whakapono te ture: engari, Ki te mahia aua mea e te tangata, ma aua mea ia e ora ai.

And the Lawe is not of faith: but the man that shall doe those things, shall liue in them.

13 Kua hokona tatou e te Karaiti i roto i te kanga a te ture, i a ia nei i meinga hei kanga mo tatou: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, He mea kanga nga tangata katoa e whakairia ki runga ki te rakau:

Christ hath redeemed vs from the curse of the Lawe, made a curse for vs, (for it is written, Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree)

14 Kia tae ai ki nga tauiwi te manaaki o Aperahama i roto i a Karaiti Ihu; kia riro mai ai i a tatou te kupu homai o te Wairua, he mea ma roto i te whakapono.

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Iesus, that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirite through faith.

15 E oku teina, he kupu tangata taku nei; Ahakoa he kawenata na te tangata, ki te mea ka oti te whakau, kahore he tangata hei turaki, hei tapiri ranei.

Brethren, I speake as men do: though it be but a mans couenant, when it is confirmed, yet no man doeth abrogate it, or addeth any thing thereto.

16 Na, i korerotia nga kupu whakaari ki a Aperahama, ki tana whanau ano hoki. Kihai ia i mea, Ki nga whanau, me te mea he tokomaha; engari me te mea he kotahi, Ki tau whanau, ko te Karaiti hoki ia.

Nowe to Abraham and his seede were the promises made. Hee saith not, And to the seedes, as speaking of many: but, And to thy seede, as of one, which is Christ.

17 Na ko taku kupu tenei; Ko te kawenata i whakaukia e te Atua i mua ra, e kore e ahei te ture, no muri iho nei o nga tau e wha rau e toru tekau i tae mai ai, ki te turaki, hei whakakahore i te kupu whakaari.

And this I say, that the couenant that was confirmed afore of God in respect of Christ, the Lawe which was foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres after, can not disanull, that it shoulde make the promise of none effect.

18 Mehemea hoki na te ture i riro mai ai te kainga, heoi ehara i te mea na te kupu whakaari; otira i na runga mai i te kupu whakaari ta te Atua homaitanga ki a Aperahama.

For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise.

19 Hei aha ra te ture? I tapiritia mai mo nga pokanga ketanga, kia tae mai ra ano te whanau mona nei te kupu whakaari; he mahinga na nga anahera, i roto i te ringa o te takawaenga.

Wherefore then serueth the Law? It was added because of the transgressions, til the seed came, vnto the which the promise was made: and it was ordeined by Angels in the hande of a Mediatour.

20 Na, he teka mo te kotahi te takawaenga; kotahi ia te Atua.

Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one.

21 He turaki ranei ta te ture i a te Atua kupu whakaari? Kahore rapea: me i homai hoki he ture, he mea kaha ki te whakaora, ina kua puta ake te tika i te ture.

Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: For if there had bene a Lawe giuen which coulde haue giuen life, surely righteousnes should haue bene by the Lawe.

22 Heoi kua kopania nga mea katoa e te karaipiture ki raro o te hara, kia homai ai ki te hunga e whakapono ana te mea i whakaaria mai i runga i te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti.

But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be giuen to them that beleeue.

23 I mua ia o te taenga mai o te whakapono, e puritia ana tatou i raro i te ture, he mea kopani, kia taea ra ano te whakapono e whakapuakina nei i muri.

But before faith came, we were kept vnder the Law, as vnder a garison, and shut vp vnto that faith, which should afterward be reueiled.

24 Heoi kua meinga nei te ture hei kaiwhakaako mo tatou, hei arahi ki a te Karaiti, kia tika ai tatou i te whakapono.

Wherefore the Lawe was our scholemaster to bring vs to Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.

25 Otira ka tae mai nei te whakapono, mutu ake to tatou meatanga mai e te kaiwhakaako.

But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster.

26 He tamariki katoa hoki koutou na te Atua, he mea na te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu.

For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus.

27 Ko te hunga katoa hoki o koutou kua iriiria ki roto ki a te Karaiti, kua kakahuria e koutou a te Karaiti.

For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ.

28 Kahore he Hurai, kahore he Kariki, kahore he pononga, kahore he rangatira, kahore he tane, wahine ranei; he tangata kotahi tonu hoki koutou katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

There is neither Iewe nor Grecian: there is neither bonde nor free: there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Iesus.

29 A ki te mea na te Karaiti koutou, he whanau na Aperahama, mo koutou hoki te kainga i runga i te kupu whakaari.

And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise.
