Wagalatia 3
1 Enyi Wagalatia, mmekuwa wajinga kweli! Ni nani aliyewaloga? Habari juu ya kusulubiwa kwake Yesu Kristo ilielezwa waziwazi mbele ya macho yenu.
O foolish Galatians! Who you has bewitched (the truth not to obey *K*) whose before eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed (among you *K*) [as] crucified?
2 Napenda kujua tu kitu kimoja kutoka kwenu: Je, mlipokea Roho wa Mungu kwa sababu ya kutimiza matakwa ya Sheria ama kwa sababu ya kuisikia na kuiamini Habari Njema?
This only I wish to learn from you; by works of [the] Law the Spirit did you receive or by hearing of faith?
3 Je, mu wajinga kiasi hicho? Ninyi mlianza yote kwa msaada wa Roho je, mnataka sasa kumaliza kwa nguvu zenu wenyewe?
So foolish are you? Having begun in [the] Spirit now in [the] flesh are you being perfected?
4 Je, mambo yale yote yaliyowapata ninyi yamekuwa bure tu? Haiwezekani!
So many things did you suffer in vain? if indeed even in vain!
5 Je, Mungu huwajalia Roho na kutenda miujiza kati yenu ati kwa sababu mnatimiza yanayotakiwa na sheria, ama kwa sababu mnasikia Habari Njema na kuiamini?
The [One] therefore supplying to you the Spirit and working miracles among you, [is it] out of works of the Law or out of hearing of faith?
6 Chukueni kwa mfano habari za Abrahamu: yeye alimwamini Mungu, naye Mungu akamkubali kuwa mwadilifu.
Even as Abraham believed in God and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
7 Sasa basi jueni kwamba watu wenye kumwamini ndio walio watoto halisi wa Abrahamu.
do know then that those of faith these sons are of Abraham.
8 Maandiko Matakatifu yalionyesha kabla kwamba Mungu atawakubali watu wa mataifa kuwa waadilifu kwa njia ya imani. Hivyo Maandiko Matakatifu yalitangulia kumtangazia Abrahamu Habari Njema: “Katika wewe mataifa yote yatabarikiwa.”
Having foreseen then the Scripture that by faith justifies the Gentiles God, foretold the gospel to Abraham that Will be blessed in you all the nations.
9 Basi, wale walio na imani wanabarikiwa pamoja na Abrahamu aliyeamini.
So then those of faith are blessed along with the believing Abraham.
10 Lakini wote wanaotegemea tu kutimiza yanayotakiwa na Sheria, wako chini ya laana. Maana, Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: “Yeyote asiyeshika na kutimiza yote yaliyoandikwa katika kitabu cha Sheria, yuko chini ya laana.”
As many as for of works of [the] Law are, under a curse are; it has been written for (that *no*) Cursed [is] everyone who not does continue (in *k*) all things which written in the book of the Law to do them.
11 Ni dhahiri kwamba Sheria haiwezi kumfanya mtu akubaliwe kuwa mwadilifu; maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: “Mwadilifu kwa imani ataishi.”
for now by [the] law no [one] is justified before God [is] evident, because The righteous by faith will live;
12 Lakini Sheria haitegemei imani, ila Maandiko yasema: “Mwenye kutimiza yanayotakiwa na Sheria ataishi.”
And the Law not is of faith rather The [one] having done these things (man *K*) will live by them.
13 Kristo alitukomboa kutoka katika laana ya Sheria kwa kujitwalia laana hiyo kwa ajili yetu; maana Maandiko yanasema: “Yeyote aliyetundikwa msalabani amelaaniwa.”
Christ us redeemed from the curse of the Law having become for us a curse; (since *no*) it has been written (for: *k*) Cursed [is] everyone who is hanging on a tree;
14 Jambo hili lilifanyika kusudi ile baraka aliyopewa Abrahamu iwashukie watu wa mataifa mengine kwa njia ya Kristo, na ili kwa imani, tumpokee yule Roho ambaye Mungu alituahidia.
so that to the Gentiles the blessing of Abraham may become in Christ Jesus so that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through faith.
15 Ndugu, nitawapeni mfano kutoka maisha yetu ya kila siku. Fikirini juu ya mkataba kati ya watu wawili. Mkataba ukisha fanyika na kutiwa sahihi hapana mtu anayeuweka kando au kuuongezea kitu.
Brothers, according to man I am speaking. Even of man ratified a covenant no [one] sets aside or adds thereto.
16 Basi, Abrahamu alipewa ahadi, yeye pamoja na mzawa wake. Maandiko hayasemi: “Na wazawa wake,” yaani wengi, bali yasema, “Na mzawa wake,” yaani mmoja, naye ndiye Kristo.
And to Abraham were spoken the promises and to the seed of him. Not it does say; and to seeds as of many but as of One; and to the seed of you who is Christ.
17 Ninachotaka kusema ni hiki: Mungu alifanya agano lake akalithibitisha; Sheria ambayo ilitokea miaka mia nne na thelathini baadaye, haiwezi kulitangua hilo agano wala kuibatilisha hiyo ahadi.
This now I say: [The] covenant confirmed beforehand by God (into Christ *K*) afterward four hundred and thirty years having come [the] law not does annul so as to nullify the promise.
18 Maana, kama urithi ya Mungu inategemea Sheria, basi, haiwezi kutegemea tena ahadi ya Mungu. Kumbe, lakini Mungu alimkirimia Abrahamu kwa sababu aliahidi.
If for by [the] Law [is] the inheritance no longer no longer by a promise; but to Abraham through a promise has granted [it] God.
19 Ya nini basi, Sheria? Iliongezwa hapo ili kuonyesha uhalifu ni kitu gani, mpaka atakapokuja yule mzawa wa Abrahamu aliyepewa ile ahadi. Sheria ililetwa na malaika kwa mkono wa mpatanishi.
Why then the Law? transgressions Because of it was added until (that *NK(o)*) may have come the seed to whom promise has been made, having been ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.
20 Ama hakika, mpatanishi hahitajiwi ikiwa jambo lenyewe lamhusu mtu mmoja; na Mungu ni mmoja.
However a mediator of one [person] not is, but God one is.
21 Je, Sheria inapingana na ahadi za Mungu? Hata kidogo! Maana, kama kungalitolewa sheria ambayo ingeweza kuwapa watu uzima, basi, tungeweza kukubaliwa kuwa waadilifu kwa njia ya Sheria.
The therefore Law [is] contrary to the promises of God? Never would it be! If for was given a law which is being able to impart life, indeed (from [the] law *NK(o)*) then would was emerging righteousness;
22 Lakini sivyo; Maandiko Matakatifu yamekwisha sema kwamba ulimwengu wote upo chini ya utawala wa dhambi; na hivyo, kwa kumwamini Yesu Kristo, wenye kuamini watimiziwe ile ahadi.
but imprisoned the Scripture [things] all under sin, so that the promise by faith from Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.
23 Kabla ya kujaliwa imani, Sheria ilitufanya wafungwa mpaka imani hiyo iliyokuwa inakuja ifunuliwe.
Before now coming faith under [the] Law we were held in custody (being locked up *N(k)O*) until which is being soon faith to be revealed.
24 Basi, hiyo Sheria ilikuwa kama mlezi wetu mpaka alipokuja Kristo, ili kwa njia ya imani, tukubaliwe kuwa waadilifu.
so that the Law trainer of us has become unto Christ, so that by faith we may be justified;
25 Tangu kufika kwa hiyo imani, Sheria si mlezi wetu tena.
When was coming now the faith no longer no longer under a trainer we are.
26 Kwa njia ya imani, ninyi nyote mmekuwa watoto wa Mungu katika kuungana na Kristo.
all for sons of God you are through faith in Christ Jesus;
27 Ninyi nyote mliobatizwa mkaungana na Kristo ni kama vile mmemvaa Kristo.
As many as for into Christ you were baptized, Christ you have put on.
28 Hivyo, hakuna tena tofauti kati ya Myahudi na Mgiriki, mtumwa na mtu huru, mwanamume na mwanamke. Nyote ni kitu kimoja katika kuungana na Kristo Yesu.
Neither there is Jew nor Greek, neither there is slave nor free, neither there is male and female; (all *NK(o)*) for you yourselves one are in Christ Jesus.
29 Ikiwa ninyi ni wa Kristo, basi ni wazawa wa Abrahamu, na mtapokea yale aliyoahidi Mungu.
If now you yourselves [are] Christ’s, then Abraham’s seed you are, (and *k*) according to [the] promise heirs.
