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 INFATUATED Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth? To whom Jesus Christ has been described, as before your eyes, crucified among you.
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 would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or from hearing of the 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 ye so senseless? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the 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 ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet 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 therefore who ministereth to you a supply of the Spirit, and powerfully worketh miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the 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.
as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed 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 then that they who are of faith, these are the children 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.
And the scripture foreseeing that by faith God would justify the Gentiles, preached the gospel before unto Abraham, saying, that “In thee shall all the nations be blessed.”
Wherefore they who are of faith are blessed with believing 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 a curse: for it is written, “Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the 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 by the law no man is justified before God is evident: because “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.
Now the law is not by faith: but “The man that doeth 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 hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, “Cursed is every one who is hanged 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.
that unto the Gentiles the benediction pronounced on Abraham might come by Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by 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 humanly; to use a similitude, a man’s testament, if it be passed in legal form, no man can vacate, or add thereunto.
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.
But to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, To seeds, as unto many persons; but as to an individual, and to thy seed, 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.
Now this I say, the covenant confirmed of God to Christ, the law, which was given three hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, so as to vacate the promise.
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 is of the law, it is no more by promise; but to Abraham God gave it freely 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;
To what end then was the law given? It was given on account of transgressions, until that seed should come to whom the promise was made, being delivered through the ministry of angels into 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).
But the mediator of the one seed he is not, though 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 contrary to the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which was capable of procuring life, verily righteousness would have been by the law.
But the scripture hath shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might 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 in ward under the law, shut up together for the faith that should 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.
Wherefore the law was our conductor, as of children, 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 when faith was come, we were no longer under a paedagogue.
26 Gonne jaanong rotlhe re bana ba Modimo ka tumelo mo go Jesu Keresete,
For ye are all the sons of God through 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 baptised into Christ, have been invested with 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 no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye 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.
But if ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
