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?

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 ahaM yuSmattaH kathAmekAM jijJAse yUyam AtmAnaM kenAlabhadhvaM? vyavasthApAlanena kiM vA vizvAsavAkyasya zravaNena?

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 yUyaM kim IdRg abodhA yad AtmanA karmmArabhya zarIreNa tat sAdhayituM yatadhve?

Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?

4 tarhi yuSmAkaM gurutaro duHkhabhogaH kiM niSphalo bhaviSyati? kuphalayukto vA kiM bhaviSyati?

Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.

5 yo yuSmabhyam AtmAnaM dattavAn yuSmanmadhya AzcaryyANi karmmANi ca sAdhitavAn sa kiM vyavasthApAlanena vizvAsavAkyasya zravaNena vA tat kRtavAn?

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 likhitamAste, ibrAhIma Izvare vyazvasIt sa ca vizvAsastasmai puNyArthaM gaNito babhUva,

As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.

7 ato ye vizvAsAzritAsta evebrAhImaH santAnA iti yuSmAbhi rjJAyatAM|

Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 Izvaro bhinnajAtIyAn vizvAsena sapuNyIkariSyatIti pUrvvaM jJAtvA zAstradAtA pUrvvam ibrAhImaM susaMvAdaM zrAvayana jagAda, tvatto bhinnajAtIyAH sarvva AziSaM prApsyantIti|

And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 ato ye vizvAsAzritAste vizvAsinebrAhImA sArddham AziSaM labhante|

Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.

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 every one, that abideth not in all things, which 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|

But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.

12 vyavasthA tu vizvAsasambandhinI na bhavati kintvetAni yaH pAlayiSyati sa eva tai rjIviSyatItiniyamasambandhinI|

But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.

13 khrISTo'smAn parikrIya vyavasthAyAH zApAt mocitavAn yato'smAkaM vinimayena sa svayaM zApAspadamabhavat tadadhi likhitamAste, yathA, "yaH kazcit tarAvullambyate so'bhizapta iti|"

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 tasmAd khrISTena yIzunevrAhIma AzI rbhinnajAtIyalokeSu varttate tena vayaM pratijJAtam AtmAnaM vizvAsena labdhuM zaknumaH|

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 he bhrAtRgaNa mAnuSANAM rItyanusAreNAhaM kathayAmi kenacit mAnavena yo niyamo niracAyi tasya vikRti rvRddhi rvA kenApi na kriyate|

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 parantvibrAhIme tasya santAnAya ca pratijJAH prati zuzruvire tatra santAnazabdaM bahuvacanAntam abhUtvA tava santAnAyetyekavacanAntaM babhUva sa ca santAnaH khrISTa eva|

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 ataevAhaM vadAmi, IzvareNa yo niyamaH purA khrISTamadhi niracAyi tataH paraM triMzadadhikacatuHzatavatsareSu gateSu sthApitA vyavasthA taM niyamaM nirarthakIkRtya tadIyapratijJA loptuM na zaknoti|

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 yasmAt sampadadhikAro yadi vyavasthayA bhavati tarhi pratijJayA na bhavati kintvIzvaraH pratijJayA tadadhikAritvam ibrAhIme 'dadAt|

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 tarhi vyavasthA kimbhUtA? pratijJA yasmai pratizrutA tasya santAnasyAgamanaM yAvad vyabhicAranivAraNArthaM vyavasthApi dattA, sA ca dUtairAjJApitA madhyasthasya kare samarpitA ca|

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 naikasya madhyastho vidyate kintvIzvara eka eva|

Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.

21 tarhi vyavasthA kim Izvarasya pratijJAnAM viruddhA? tanna bhavatu| yasmAd yadi sA vyavasthA jIvanadAnesamarthAbhaviSyat tarhi vyavasthayaiva puNyalAbho'bhaviSyat|

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 kintu yIzukhrISTe yo vizvAsastatsambandhiyAH pratijJAyAH phalaM yad vizvAsilokebhyo dIyate tadarthaM zAstradAtA sarvvAn pApAdhInAn gaNayati|

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 ataeva vizvAsasyAnAgatasamaye vayaM vyavasthAdhInAH santo vizvAsasyodayaM yAvad ruddhA ivArakSyAmahe|

But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.

24 itthaM vayaM yad vizvAsena sapuNyIbhavAmastadarthaM khrISTasya samIpam asmAn netuM vyavasthAgratho'smAkaM vinetA babhUva|

Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 kintvadhunAgate vizvAse vayaM tasya vineturanadhInA abhavAma|

But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.

26 khrISTe yIzau vizvasanAt sarvve yUyam Izvarasya santAnA jAtAH|

For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.

27 yUyaM yAvanto lokAH khrISTe majjitA abhavata sarvve khrISTaM parihitavantaH|

For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.

28 ato yuSmanmadhye yihUdiyUnAnino rdAsasvatantrayo ryoSApuruSayozca ko'pi vizeSo nAsti; sarvve yUyaM khrISTe yIzAveka eva|

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 kiJca yUyaM yadi khrISTasya bhavatha tarhi sutarAm ibrAhImaH santAnAH pratijJayA sampadadhikAriNazcAdhve|

And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
