KwabaseGalathiya 3
1 Hawu maGalathiya ayizithutha, ngubani oliloyileyo ukuze lingalaleli iqiniso, lina abekwa obala phambi kwamehlo enu uJesu Kristu, ebethelwe phakathi kwenu?
Mo Galatifoɔ adwenemherɛfoɔ! Hwan na ɔdanee mo adwene saa? Mo ara mo anim na wɔkyerɛɛ mu pefee sɛ wɔbɔɔ Yesu Kristo asɛnnua mu.
2 Yilokhu kuphela engithanda ukukufunda kini ukuthi: Lemukela uMoya ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, loba ngokuzwa kokholo?
Mommua me saa asɛm yi: Moyɛɛ deɛ Mmara no hwehwɛ sɛ monyɛ ansa na Onyankopɔn Honhom no reba mo so? Anaasɛ motiee Asɛmpa no gye diiɛ ansa?
3 Kanti liyizithutha kangaka? Liqale ngoMoya selipheleliswa ngenyama yini?
Saa na mo adwene mu yɛ herɛ? Mode Onyankopɔn Honhom firii aseɛ; afei mopɛ sɛ mode mo ara mo tumi wie?
4 Lahlupheka izinto ezinengi kangaka ngeze yini? Uba-ke ngitsho ngeze.
Mo suahunu yi nyinaa ho amma mfasoɔ biara? Mennye nni saa.
5 Ngakho yena olinika uMoya losebenza imisebenzi yamandla phakathi kwenu, kungaba ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, kumbe ngokuzwa kokholo?
Onyankopɔn nam mmara no so na ɔde ne Honhom no maa mo anaa? Anaasɛ ɔnam mmara no so na ɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ wɔ mo mu anaa? Ɛnyɛ asɛm no gye a mogye diiɛ nti?
6 NjengoAbrahama wakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa-ke kuye ukuthi yikulunga.
Atwerɛsɛm no kaa Abraham ho asɛm sɛ, “Ɔgyee Onyankopɔn diiɛ na ɛsiane ne gyidie enti, Onyankopɔn gyee no sɛ onipa tenenee.”
7 Ngakho liyazi ukuthi labo abangabokholo, bona bangabantwana bakaAbrahama.
Enti ɛsɛ sɛ mote aseɛ sɛ, nnipa a wɔwɔ gyidie no na wɔyɛ Abraham asefoɔ turodoo.
8 Lombhalo, ubona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulungisisa abezizwe ngokholo, watshumayela ivangeli ngaphambili kuAbrahama wathi: Izizwe zonke zizabusiswa kuwe.
Atwerɛsɛm no dii ɛkan hunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nam gyidie so bɛbu amanamanmufoɔ no bem. Yei enti, Atwerɛsɛm no dii ɛkan kaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Ɛnam wo so na Onyankopɔn bɛhyira nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa.”
9 Ngakho abangabokholo babusiswa kanye loAbrahama okholwayo.
Abraham gye diiɛ, na wɔhyiraa no, na wɔn a wɔgye di nyinaa nso, wɔahyira wɔn sɛdeɛ wɔhyiraa no no.
10 Ngoba bonke abemisebenzi yomlayo bangaphansi kwesiqalekiso; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke ongaqhubeki kukho konke okulotshiweyo encwadini yomlayo ukukwenza.
Wɔadome obiara a ɔde ne ho bɛto ne nnwuma a ɛfiri mmara no mu so. Ɛfiri sɛ wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “Wɔadome obiara a wankɔ so anni deɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mmara Nwoma mu no nyinaa so.”
11 Kodwa kusobala ukuthi ngomlayo kakulamuntu olungisiswayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ngoba: Olungileyo uzaphila ngokholo;
Afei, akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ obiara rentumi mfa mmara no so die nsɔ Onyankopɔn ani. Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɛnam gyidie so na ɔteneneeni bɛnya nkwa.”
12 kodwa umlayo kawusiwo wokholo, kodwa kuthiwa: Umuntu owenza lezizinto uzaphila kuzo.
Mmara no nnyinasoɔ nnyɛ gyidie; ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatwerɛ sɛ, deɛ ɔdi mmara no so bɛnya nkwa.
13 UKristu wasihlenga kusiqalekiso somlayo, esenziwe waba yisiqalekiso esikhundleni sethu; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke olenga esihlahleni;
Ɛno enti na Kristo agye yɛn afiri nnome a Mmara no de brɛɛ yɛn no mu. Wayɛ nnome ama yɛn sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Obiara a wɔbɛsɛn no dua so no hyɛ Onyankopɔn nnome ase.”
14 ukuze kuthi isibusiso sikaAbrahama sifike kwabezizwe ngoKristu Jesu, ukuze semukele isithembiso sikaMoya ngokholo.
Kristo gyee yɛn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nhyira a wɔhyiraa Abraham no nam Kristo so bɛba amanamanmufoɔ so, na yɛnam gyidie so anya Honhom a wɔhyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ no.
15 Bazalwane, ngikhuluma njengokomuntu; ngitsho isivumelwano somuntu esiqinisiweyo, kakho osichithayo loba osengezelelayo.
Anuanom, mede yɛn asetena mu asɛm bi bɛyɛ nhwɛsoɔ: Sɛ nnipa baanu bi pene asɛm bi so na wɔyɛ ho apam a, obiara rentumi mmu apam no so na wɔrentumi mfa biribi nka ho.
16 Njalo izithembiso zakhulunywa kuAbrahama lenzalweni yakhe. Katsho ukuthi: Lezinzalweni, njengokungathi zinengi, kodwa njengokungathi ngeyodwa ukuthi: Lenzalweni yakho, enguKristu.
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Abraham ne nʼaseni bɔ. Atwerɛsɛm no nnka sɛ, “Wo ne wʼasefoɔ” a ɛkyerɛ nnipa bebree. Ɛka sɛ, “Wo ne wʼaseni” a ɛkyerɛ sɛ onipa baako a ɔno ne Kristo no.
17 Lalokho ngiyakutsho: Umlayo oweza emva kweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu kawusesuli isivumelwano esaqiniswa nguNkulunkulu kuKristu ngaphambili, ukuze usenze isithembiso sibe yize.
Mekyerɛ sɛ: Onyankopɔn yɛɛ apam na ɔhyɛɛ bɔ sɛ ɔbɛdi so. Mmara no a ɛbaa akyire no ntumi nsesa anaa ɛrentumi ntwa bɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ mfirinhyia ahanan ne aduasa ansa na ɔde Mmara no maaeɛ, no mu.
18 Ngoba uba ilifa livela emlayweni, alisaveli esithembisweni; kodwa uNkulunkulu walinika uAbrahama ngesithembiso.
Na sɛ nhyira a Onyankopɔn de maaeɛ no gyina Mmara so a, ɛnneɛ na ɛnyɛ bɔhyɛ bio. Nanso Onyankopɔn firi nʼadom mu, nam bɔhyɛ so de agyapadeɛ no maa Abraham.
19 Pho, umlayo uyini? Wengezwa ngenxa yeziphambeko, kuze kufike inzalo eyanikwa isithembiso; wamiswa ngezingilosi esandleni somlamuli.
Ɛnneɛ na Mmara no ho mfasoɔ ne sɛn? Wɔde maa akyire no de kyerɛɛ sɛ yɛyɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ kɔsi sɛ Aseni no a wɔhyɛɛ ne ho bɔ no bɛba. Abɔfoɔ no na wɔde Mmara no maa Mose, na ɔno nso yɛɛ Onyankopɔn ne nnipa no ntamgyinafoɔ.
20 Kodwa umlamuli kayisuye woyedwa, kodwa uNkulunkulu munye.
Yɛnim sɛ ntamgyinafoɔ ho hia ma nnipa baanu anaa deɛ ɛboro saa, nanso Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ baako amfa ntamugyinafoɔ ɛberɛ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham bɔ no.
21 Pho umlayo uphambene lezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu yini? Phinde! Ngoba uba wawunikiwe umlayo olamandla okuphilisa, isibili ukulunga ngabe kuvela ngomlayo.
Yei kyerɛ sɛ Mmara no tia Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ no anaa? Dabi! Sɛ mmara bi wɔ hɔ a ɛtumi ma nnipa nkwa a, ɛnneɛ anka onipa nam saa mmara no so bɛtumi atene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
22 Kodwa umbhalo uvalele konke ngaphansi kwesono, ukuze isithembiso ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu siphiwe abakholwayo.
Nanso, Atwerɛsɛm no aka sɛ, ewiase nyinaa hyɛ bɔne tumi ase. Ɛno enti, akyɛdeɛ a wɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ no, wɔnam Yesu Kristo so nko ara de bɛma wɔn a wɔgye di no.
23 Kodwa kungakafiki ukholo, sasilondolozwe ngaphansi komlayo, sivalelwe kuze kube sekholweni obeluzakwembulwa.
Ansa na gyidie no reba no, Mmara no too yɛn mpɔkyerɛ kɔsii sɛ wɔbɛdaa gyidie no adi.
24 Ngakho umlayo wawungumeluleki wethu kuKristu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokholo;
Enti, Mmara no na ɛhyɛɛ yɛn so kɔsii sɛ Kristo baeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔnam gyidie so bɛbu yɛn bem.
25 kodwa selufikile ukholo, kasisekho ngaphansi kukameluleki.
Afei a berɛ aduru sɛ yɛgye Kristo di no, Mmara no nni yɛn so tumi bio.
26 Ngoba lonke lingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngokholo kuKristu Jesu.
Ɛnam gyidie so enti na mo nyinaa yɛ Onyankopɔn mma a mo ne Kristo Yesu aka abom no.
27 Ngoba lonke elabhabhathizelwa kuKristu, lembethe uKristu;
Wɔbɔɔ mo asu hyɛɛ Kristo mu enti, moafa Kristo mu nnepa no ato mo ho so.
28 kakukho umJuda lomGriki, kakukho obotshiweyo lokhululekileyo, kakukho owesilisa lowesifazana; ngoba lina lonke limunye kuKristu Jesu.
Yɛnni Yudani anaa Helani, yɛnni akoa anaa ɔdehyeɛ, yɛnni ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa, na mo nyinaa yɛ onipa korɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
29 Uba-ke lingabakaKristu, ngakho liyinzalo kaAbrahama, njalo liyizindlalifa njengokwesithembiso.
Enti sɛ moyɛ Kristo dea a, na moyɛ Abraham asefoɔ, na bɔhyɛ no enti, moyɛ adedifoɔ nso.
