gAlAtinaH 3

1 hE nirbbOdhA gAlAtilOkAH, yuSmAkaM madhyE kruzE hata iva yIzuH khrISTO yuSmAkaM samakSaM prakAzita AsIt atO yUyaM yathA satyaM vAkyaM na gRhlItha tathA kEnAmuhyata?

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

2 ahaM yuSmattaH kathAmEkAM jijnjAsE yUyam AtmAnaM kEnAlabhadhvaM? vyavasthApAlanEna kiM vA vizvAsavAkyasya zravaNEna?

I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Rukha by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

3 yUyaM kim IdRg abOdhA yad AtmanA karmmArabhya zarIrENa tat sAdhayituM yatadhvE?

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

4 tarhi yuSmAkaM gurutarO duHkhabhOgaH kiM niSphalO bhaviSyati? kuphalayuktO vA kiM bhaviSyati?

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

5 yO yuSmabhyam AtmAnaM dattavAn yuSmanmadhya AzcaryyANi karmmANi ca sAdhitavAn sa kiM vyavasthApAlanEna vizvAsavAkyasya zravaNEna vA tat kRtavAn?

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

6 likhitamAstE, ibrAhIma IzvarE vyazvasIt sa ca vizvAsastasmai puNyArthaM gaNitO babhUva,

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

7 atO yE vizvAsAzritAsta EvEbrAhImaH santAnA iti yuSmAbhi rjnjAyatAM|

Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Avraham.

8 IzvarO bhinnajAtIyAn vizvAsEna sapuNyIkariSyatIti pUrvvaM jnjAtvA zAstradAtA pUrvvam ibrAhImaM susaMvAdaM zrAvayana jagAda, tvattO bhinnajAtIyAH sarvva AziSaM prApsyantIti|

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

9 atO yE vizvAsAzritAstE vizvAsinEbrAhImA sArddham AziSaM labhantE|

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

10 yAvantO lOkA vyavasthAyAH karmmaNyAzrayanti tE sarvvE zApAdhInA bhavanti yatO likhitamAstE, yathA, "yaH kazcid Etasya vyavasthAgranthasya sarvvavAkyAni nizcidraM na pAlayati sa zapta iti|"

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 Izvarasya sAkSAt kO'pi vyavasthayA sapuNyO na bhavati tada vyaktaM yataH "puNyavAn mAnavO vizvAsEna jIviSyatIti" zAstrIyaM vacaH|

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

12 vyavasthA tu vizvAsasambandhinI na bhavati kintvEtAni yaH pAlayiSyati sa Eva tai rjIviSyatItiniyamasambandhinI|

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

13 khrISTO'smAn parikrIya vyavasthAyAH zApAt mOcitavAn yatO'smAkaM vinimayEna sa svayaM zApAspadamabhavat tadadhi likhitamAstE, yathA, "yaH kazcit tarAvullambyatE sO'bhizapta iti|"

Meshikha 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 tasmAd khrISTEna yIzunEvrAhIma AzI rbhinnajAtIyalOkESu varttatE tEna vayaM pratijnjAtam AtmAnaM vizvAsEna labdhuM zaknumaH|

that the blessing of Avraham might come on the non-Jews through Meshikha Yeshua; that we might receive the promise of the Rukha through faith.

15 hE bhrAtRgaNa mAnuSANAM rItyanusArENAhaM kathayAmi kEnacit mAnavEna yO niyamO niracAyi tasya vikRti rvRddhi rvA kEnApi na kriyatE|

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 parantvibrAhImE tasya santAnAya ca pratijnjAH prati zuzruvirE tatra santAnazabdaM bahuvacanAntam abhUtvA tava santAnAyEtyEkavacanAntaM babhUva sa ca santAnaH khrISTa Eva|

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

17 ataEvAhaM vadAmi, IzvarENa yO niyamaH purA khrISTamadhi niracAyi tataH paraM triMzadadhikacatuHzatavatsarESu gatESu sthApitA vyavasthA taM niyamaM nirarthakIkRtya tadIyapratijnjA lOptuM na zaknOti|

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 yasmAt sampadadhikArO yadi vyavasthayA bhavati tarhi pratijnjayA na bhavati kintvIzvaraH pratijnjayA tadadhikAritvam ibrAhImE 'dadAt|

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

19 tarhi vyavasthA kimbhUtA? pratijnjA yasmai pratizrutA tasya santAnasyAgamanaM yAvad vyabhicAranivAraNArthaM vyavasthApi dattA, sA ca dUtairAjnjApitA madhyasthasya karE samarpitA ca|

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 naikasya madhyasthO vidyatE kintvIzvara Eka Eva|

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

21 tarhi vyavasthA kim Izvarasya pratijnjAnAM viruddhA? tanna bhavatu| yasmAd yadi sA vyavasthA jIvanadAnEsamarthAbhaviSyat tarhi vyavasthayaiva puNyalAbhO'bhaviSyat|

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 kintu yIzukhrISTE yO vizvAsastatsambandhiyAH pratijnjAyAH phalaM yad vizvAsilOkEbhyO dIyatE tadarthaM zAstradAtA sarvvAn pApAdhInAn gaNayati|

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

23 ataEva vizvAsasyAnAgatasamayE vayaM vyavasthAdhInAH santO vizvAsasyOdayaM yAvad ruddhA ivArakSyAmahE|

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

24 itthaM vayaM yad vizvAsEna sapuNyIbhavAmastadarthaM khrISTasya samIpam asmAn nEtuM vyavasthAgrathO'smAkaM vinEtA babhUva|

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

25 kintvadhunAgatE vizvAsE vayaM tasya vinEturanadhInA abhavAma|

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

26 khrISTE yIzau vizvasanAt sarvvE yUyam Izvarasya santAnA jAtAH|

For you are all children of God, through faith in Meshikha Yeshua.

27 yUyaM yAvantO lOkAH khrISTE majjitA abhavata sarvvE khrISTaM parihitavantaH|

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

28 atO yuSmanmadhyE yihUdiyUnAninO rdAsasvatantrayO ryOSApuruSayOzca kO'pi vizESO nAsti; sarvvE yUyaM khrISTE yIzAvEka Eva|

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

29 kinjca yUyaM yadi khrISTasya bhavatha tarhi sutarAm ibrAhImaH santAnAH pratijnjayA sampadadhikAriNazcAdhvE|

If you are Meshikha's, then you are Avraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.
