Bagalatia 3
1 Ao Bagalatia ba ba dieleele! Lo tseantswe ke moloi yo o ntsengjang a bo a lo tsenya mowa wa bohema? Gonne lo kile lwa bo lo bona sentle se loso lwa ga Keresete lo se rayang jaaka o ka re ke ne ke kile ka baya fa pele ga lona lomati lo lo nang le setshwantsho sa ga Keresete a a swa mo mokgorong.
O thoughtless Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been plainly set forth crucified?
2 Mmang ke lo botse potso e: “A lo amogetse Mowa O O Boitshepo ka go leka go boloka melao ya Sejuta?” Nnyaa, ga go a nna jalo, gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo o tsile mo go lona fela lo sena go utlwa kaga Keresete lo bo lo mo ikanya go lo boloka.
This only I wish to learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Jalo he, a lo tsenwe ke botsenwa gotlhelele? Gonne fa go leka go obamela melao ya Sejuta go ise go ke go bo go lo neye botshelo jwa semowa lwa ntlha, ke eng fa jaanong lo akanya gore go leka go e obamela go tlaa lo dira Bakeresete ba ba itekanetseng?
Are you so thoughtless? After having begun in Spirit, do you make an end in flesh?
4 Lo bogetse Mafoko a a Molemo thata. A jaanong lo tsile go a latlhela gongwe le gongwe fela? Ga ke dumele tota!
Have you suffered so many things in vain? if, indeed, it be in vain.
5 Ke lo botsa gape ka re, a Modimo o lo naya nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo o bo o dira dikgakgamatso mo go lona e le ka ntlha ya go leka ga lona ga go obamela melao ya Sejuta? Nnyaa, tota ga go a nna jalo. Ke fa lo dumela mo go Keresete lo bo lo mo ikanya ka botlalo.
He that supplies to you the Spirit, and works mighty deeds among you, does he this by works of law or by the hearing of faith?
6 Aberahame o ne a na le one maitemogelo a, Modimo wa mo supa fa a le moitekanedi go tsena mo legodimong fela ka gore o ne a dumela ditsholofetso tsa Modimo.
even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
7 Lo ka bona mo go one maitemogelo a gore bana ba ga Aberahame tota ke batho botlhe ba tumelo ba ba ikanyang Modimo ka boammaaruri.
Know, therefore, that those who are of faith are the sons of Abraham.
8 Mo godimo ga moo, se sengwe gape ke eng, Dikwalo di ne di solofetse lobaka lo lwa gore Modimo o boloke le badichaba ka tumelo ya bone. Modimo ga o bolo go bolelela Aberahame bogologolo kaga sone selo se fa o re, “Ke tlaa segofatsa mo chabeng nngwe le nngwe ba ba inkanyang jaaka wena.” Mme go ntse fela jalo: botlhe ba ba ikanyang Keresete ba na le seabe mo go lone lesego le Aberahame o le amogetseng.
For the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached beforehand the gospel to Abraham, saying: In you shall all the nations be blessed.
So, then, those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 Ee, mme ba ba ikaegileng mo melaong ya Sejuta go ba boloka ba mo phutsong ya Modimo, gonne Dikwalo di supa sentle thata di re, “Go hutsegile mongwe le mongwe yo ka nako nngwe a robang mongwe wa melao, e e kwadilweng mo Lokwalong lwa Modimo lwa Molao.”
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that does not continue in all things written in the book of the law to do them.
11 Ka go rialo, go bonala sentle gore ga go na le fa e le ope yo o ka bonang botsalano le Modimo ka go leka go tshegetsa melao ya Sejuta, gonne Mo-dimo o rile tsela fela e ka yone re ka siamang mo ponong ya one ke ka tumelo. Jaaka moporofiti Habakuke a ne a bua a re, “Motho yo o bonang botshelo o tlaa bo bona fela ka go ikanya Modimo.”
But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: for the just by faith shall live.
12 A pharologanyo e tona fa gare ga tsela e ya tumelo le tsela ya molao o o reng motho o bolokwa ke go obamela molao mongwe le mongwe wa Modimo, a sa sute le fa e le gangwe fela.
The law, indeed, is not of faith; but he that does these things shall live by them.
13 Mme Keresete o re rekile ka fa tlase ga phutso eo ya tsela e e sa kgonegeng ka go tsaya phutso ya rona ka ntlha ya ditiro tse di bosula a e baya mo magetleng a gagwe. Gonne go kwadilwe mo Lokwalong gatwe, “Le fa e le mang yo o pegilweng mo setlhareng o hutsegile,” (jaaka Jesu a ne a lepelediwa mo mokgorong wa logong).
Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: )
14 Jaanong Modimo o ka segofatsa Badichaba le bone, ka lone lesego le o le solofeditseng Aberahame; mme rotlhe re le Bakeresete re ka nna le Mowa O O Boitshepo o re o solofeditsweng ka yone tumelo e.
in order that the blessing of Abraham may come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.
15 Bagaetsho ba ba rategang, le mo botshelong jwa malatsi otlhe fa motho a direla yo mongwe tsholofetso, fa e kwadilwe ya ba ya saenwa (tlanngwa) ga e kake ya fetolwa. Ga e kake ya re morago ga moo a fetoga a dira se sele.
Brethren, I speak of things common among men: No one sets a covenant aside, or enjoins any thing additional after it is confirmed, though it be a man’s covenant.
16 Jaanong, Modimo o neetse Aberahame le Ngwana wa one ditsholofetso dingwe. Mme lemogang gore ga gotwe ditsholofetso di ne di neetswe bana ba gagwe, jaaka go ne go katwe, di tshwanetse bomorwae botlhe, ebong Bajuta botlhe ba go neng go buiwa kaga bone, mme tota go ne go buiwa kaga Morwawe ebong Keresete.
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring; he does not say: And to offsprings, as if he spoke of many; but as of one, And to your offspring, which is Christ.
17 Se ke lekang go se bua ke se: Tsholofetso ya Modimo ya go boloka ka tumelo, le gore Modimo o kwadile tsholofetso e, wa ba wa e saena (tlanya), e ne e sa kake ya dirololwa kgotsa ya fetolwa morago ga dingwaga di le makgolo a le mane le masome a le mararo fa Modimo o ntsha Melao e e Some.
And this I affirm, that the covenant which had been before confirmed by God with respect to Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, could not annul so as to make the promise of no effect.
18 Fa go obamela melao eo go ne go ka re boloka, mme go bonala sentle gore mo e ne e tlaa bo e le tsela e sele ya go nna botsalano le Modimo go na le tsela ya ga Aberahame, gonne go ne ga nna motlhofo mo go ene go amogela tsholofetso ya Modimo.
For if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise: but God bestowed it on Abraham by promise.
19 Jalo he, melao e ne e direlwang? E ne ya okediwa tsholofetso e sena go dirwa, go supegetsa batho gore ba molato go le kae ka go roba melao ya Modimo. Mme tsela e ya molao e ne e tshwanetse go nna teng fela go fitlhelela Keresete a tla, ngwana yo tsholofetso ya Modimo e neng ya diragadiwa ka ene. (Mme go santse go na le pharologanyo nngwe. Modimo o ne wa neela baengele melao ya one go e neela Moshe, yo ene a neng a e neela batho;
What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added on account of transgressions, (till the offspring should come, to whom the promise was made, ) having been appointed through the service of angels, in the hand of a mediator.
20 mme erile fa Modimo o neela Aberahame tsholofetso ya one, o ne wa e dira ka boone o le nosi, kwa ntle ga go roma baengele kgotsa Moshe).
Now, a mediator for one is impossible; but God is one.
21 Jalo he, a melao ya Modimo le ditsholofetso tsa one di a ganetsanya? Ga go a nna jalo! Fa re ne re ka bolokwa ka melao ya one, jalo Modimo o ka bo o sa re naya tsela e sele go tswa mo botshwarong jwa sebe, gonne Dikwalo di gatelela gore re magolegwa a sebe. Tsela fela e re ka falolang ka yone ke ka tumelo mo go Jesu Keresete; tsela ya go falola e bulegetse botlhe ba ba dumelang mo go ene.
Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It can not be. For if a law had been given which could have given life, surely righteousness would have been by law.
But the scripture has shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Christ Jesus may be given to those who believe.
23 Go fitlhelela Keresete a tla re ne re disitswe ke molao, re beilwe mo tisong e e babalesegileng, go bua jalo ke gore, go fitlhelela re dumela mo Mmoloking yo o tlang.
But before the faith came, we were kept under law, being shut up to the faith which was to be revealed.
24 Mmang ke tlhalose ka tsela e nngwe. Melao ya Sejuta e ne e le moruti wa rona le mokaedi go fitlhelela Keresete a tla go re neela seemo se se nitameng mo Modimong ka tumelo ya rona.
So, then, the law was our pedagogue that led us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 Mme jaanong ka gore Keresete o tsile, ga re sa tlhole re tlhoka melao eo go re disa le go re etelela pele e re isa kwa go one.
But since the faith has come, we are no longer under a pedagogue:
26 Gonne jaanong rotlhe re bana ba Modimo ka tumelo mo go Jesu Keresete,
for you are all the sons of God, by faith in Christ Jesus:
27 ebile rona ba re kolobeditsweng go nna selo se le sengwe le Keresete, re mo apere.
for as many of you as have been immersed into Christ, have put on Christ.
28 Ga re sa tlhole re le Bajuta kgotsa Bagerika kgotsa makgoba kgotsa batho ba ba golotsweng, kgotsa banna fela kgotsa basadi, mme re tshwana fela rotlhe, re Bakeresete; re bangwe fela mo go Keresete Jesu.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondman nor freeman, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 Mme jaanong ka gore re ba ga Keresete, re losika lwa ga Aberahame tota, mme ditsholofetso tsotlhe tse Modimo o di mo solofeditseng ke tsa rona.
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s posterity, and heirs according to the promise.
