Galatifoɔ 3
1 Mo Galatifoɔ adwenemherɛfoɔ! Hwan na ɔdanee mo adwene saa? Mo ara mo anim na wɔkyerɛɛ mu pefee sɛ wɔbɔɔ Yesu Kristo asɛnnua mu.
Lina maGalathiya ayizithutha! Ngubani oliloyileyo? Phambi kwamehlo enu uJesu Khristu wabonakaliswa obala ebethelwe.
2 Mommua me saa asɛm yi: Moyɛɛ deɛ Mmara no hwehwɛ sɛ monyɛ ansa na Onyankopɔn Honhom no reba mo so? Anaasɛ motiee Asɛmpa no gye diiɛ ansa?
Mina ngifuna ukwazi into eyodwa nje kini: UMoya lamamukela ngokugcina umthetho loba ngokukholwa lokho elakuzwayo na?
3 Saa na mo adwene mu yɛ herɛ? Mode Onyankopɔn Honhom firii aseɛ; afei mopɛ sɛ mode mo ara mo tumi wie?
Kanti liyizithutha kangaka? Emva kokuqalisa ngoMoya, khathesi selizama ukuzuza ukuphelela ngemizamo yabantu na?
4 Mo suahunu yi nyinaa ho amma mfasoɔ biara? Mennye nni saa.
Kanti lihlupheke kangaka lihluphekela ize na, nxa impela kwakungokweze?
5 Onyankopɔn nam mmara no so na ɔde ne Honhom no maa mo anaa? Anaasɛ ɔnam mmara no so na ɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ wɔ mo mu anaa? Ɛnyɛ asɛm no gye a mogye diiɛ nti?
Kanti uNkulunkulu ulinika uMoya wakhe abuye enze izimangaliso phakathi kwenu ngoba ligcina umthetho loba ngoba likholwa lokho elakuzwayo na?
6 Atwerɛsɛm no kaa Abraham ho asɛm sɛ, “Ɔgyee Onyankopɔn diiɛ na ɛsiane ne gyidie enti, Onyankopɔn gyee no sɛ onipa tenenee.”
Khumbulani u-Abhrahama: “Wamkholwa uNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa kuye njengokulunga.”
7 Enti ɛsɛ sɛ mote aseɛ sɛ, nnipa a wɔwɔ gyidie no na wɔyɛ Abraham asefoɔ turodoo.
Ngakho zwisisani ukuthi labo abakholwayo bangabantwana baka-Abhrahama.
8 Atwerɛsɛm no dii ɛkan hunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nam gyidie so bɛbu amanamanmufoɔ no bem. Yei enti, Atwerɛsɛm no dii ɛkan kaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Ɛnam wo so na Onyankopɔn bɛhyira nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa.”
Umbhalo wabona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezalungisa abeZizweni ngokukholwa, wahle wamemezela ivangeli ngaphambili ku-Abhrahama esithi: “Zonke izizwe zizabusiswa ngawe.”
9 Abraham gye diiɛ, na wɔhyiraa no, na wɔn a wɔgye di nyinaa nso, wɔahyira wɔn sɛdeɛ wɔhyiraa no no.
Ngakho labo abalokholo babusiswa kanye lo-Abhrahama, umuntu wokholo.
10 Wɔadome obiara a ɔde ne ho bɛto ne nnwuma a ɛfiri mmara no mu so. Ɛfiri sɛ wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “Wɔadome obiara a wankɔ so anni deɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mmara Nwoma mu no nyinaa so.”
Bonke abathembe umthetho bangaphansi kwesiqalekiso ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Uqalekisiwe umuntu wonke ongaqhubeki esenza konke okulotshwe eNcwadini yoMthetho.”
11 Afei, akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ obiara rentumi mfa mmara no so die nsɔ Onyankopɔn ani. Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɛnam gyidie so na ɔteneneeni bɛnya nkwa.”
Kusobala ukuthi akakho olungisiswa ngomthetho phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngoba, “Abalungileyo bazaphila ngokukholwa.”
12 Mmara no nnyinasoɔ nnyɛ gyidie; ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatwerɛ sɛ, deɛ ɔdi mmara no so bɛnya nkwa.
Umthetho kaweyamanga ekukholweni; kodwa, “Umuntu owenza izinto lezi uzaphila ngazo.”
13 Ɛno enti na Kristo agye yɛn afiri nnome a Mmara no de brɛɛ yɛn no mu. Wayɛ nnome ama yɛn sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Obiara a wɔbɛsɛn no dua so no hyɛ Onyankopɔn nnome ase.”
UKhristu wasihlenga esiqalekisweni somthetho ngokuba yisiqalekiso ngenxa yethu, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Uqalekisiwe umuntu wonke olengiswa esihlahleni.”
14 Kristo gyee yɛn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nhyira a wɔhyiraa Abraham no nam Kristo so bɛba amanamanmufoɔ so, na yɛnam gyidie so anya Honhom a wɔhyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ no.
Wasihlenga ukuze isibusiso esaphiwa u-Abhrahama sifike kwabeZizweni ngoKhristu uJesu, ukuze samukele isithembiso sikaMoya ngokukholwa.
15 Anuanom, mede yɛn asetena mu asɛm bi bɛyɛ nhwɛsoɔ: Sɛ nnipa baanu bi pene asɛm bi so na wɔyɛ ho apam a, obiara rentumi mmu apam no so na wɔrentumi mfa biribi nka ho.
Bazalwane, ake ngithathe isibonelo sokuphila kwansukuzonke. Njengoba engekho ongabeka eceleni loba engeze kusivumelwano sabantu esenziwe ngemfanelo, kunjalo-ke lakule indaba.
16 Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Abraham ne nʼaseni bɔ. Atwerɛsɛm no nnka sɛ, “Wo ne wʼasefoɔ” a ɛkyerɛ nnipa bebree. Ɛka sɛ, “Wo ne wʼaseni” a ɛkyerɛ sɛ onipa baako a ɔno ne Kristo no.
Izithembiso zatshiwo ku-Abhrahama lakunzalo yakhe. Umbhalo kawuthi “kwabenzalo,” usitsho abantu abanengi, kodwa uthi, “lakunzalo yakho,” usitsho umuntu oyedwa, lowo kunguKhristu.
17 Mekyerɛ sɛ: Onyankopɔn yɛɛ apam na ɔhyɛɛ bɔ sɛ ɔbɛdi so. Mmara no a ɛbaa akyire no ntumi nsesa anaa ɛrentumi ntwa bɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ mfirinhyia ahanan ne aduasa ansa na ɔde Mmara no maaeɛ, no mu.
Engikutshoyo yilokhu: Umthetho owabekwa eminyakeni engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu muva, kawusibeki eceleni isivumelwano esamiswa ngaphambili nguNkulunkulu ngalokho wesule isithembiso.
18 Na sɛ nhyira a Onyankopɔn de maaeɛ no gyina Mmara so a, ɛnneɛ na ɛnyɛ bɔhyɛ bio. Nanso Onyankopɔn firi nʼadom mu, nam bɔhyɛ so de agyapadeɛ no maa Abraham.
Ngoba nxa ilifa leyame emthethweni, ngalokho kaliseyamanga esithembisweni; kodwa uNkulunkulu ngomusa wakhe, walinika u-Abhrahama ngesithembiso.
19 Ɛnneɛ na Mmara no ho mfasoɔ ne sɛn? Wɔde maa akyire no de kyerɛɛ sɛ yɛyɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ kɔsi sɛ Aseni no a wɔhyɛɛ ne ho bɔ no bɛba. Abɔfoɔ no na wɔde Mmara no maa Mose, na ɔno nso yɛɛ Onyankopɔn ne nnipa no ntamgyinafoɔ.
Pho, yayiyini-ke injongo yomthetho? Wengezelelwa ngenxa yeziphambeko kwaze kwafika iNzalo eyayitshiwo yisithembiso. Umthetho wenziwa wasebenza ngezingilosi lomeli.
20 Yɛnim sɛ ntamgyinafoɔ ho hia ma nnipa baanu anaa deɛ ɛboro saa, nanso Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ baako amfa ntamugyinafoɔ ɛberɛ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham bɔ no.
Kodwa umeli kameli icele elilodwa; kodwa uNkulunkulu munye.
21 Yei kyerɛ sɛ Mmara no tia Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ no anaa? Dabi! Sɛ mmara bi wɔ hɔ a ɛtumi ma nnipa nkwa a, ɛnneɛ anka onipa nam saa mmara no so bɛtumi atene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
Kambe ngalokho umthetho uphambene lezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu na? Akunjalo lakancane! Ngoba nxa kwakubekwe umthetho onika ukuphila, ukulunga impela kwakuzavela ngomthetho.
22 Nanso, Atwerɛsɛm no aka sɛ, ewiase nyinaa hyɛ bɔne tumi ase. Ɛno enti, akyɛdeɛ a wɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ no, wɔnam Yesu Kristo so nko ara de bɛma wɔn a wɔgye di no.
Kodwa umbhalo uvalele konke ngaphansi kwesono, ukwenzela ukuthi okwakuthenjisiwe, kuphiwa ngokukholwa kuJesu Khristu, sokungaphiwa labo abakholwayo.
23 Ansa na gyidie no reba no, Mmara no too yɛn mpɔkyerɛ kɔsii sɛ wɔbɛdaa gyidie no adi.
Ukholo lolu lungakabi khona sasiyizibotshwa zomthetho, sivalelwe ukholo olwaluzakuza luze lubonakaliswe.
24 Enti, Mmara no na ɛhyɛɛ yɛn so kɔsii sɛ Kristo baeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔnam gyidie so bɛbu yɛn bem.
Ngakho umthetho waphiwa amandla okusiholela kuKhristu ukuba silungisiswe ngokukholwa.
25 Afei a berɛ aduru sɛ yɛgye Kristo di no, Mmara no nni yɛn so tumi bio.
Khathesi-ke njengoba ukholo selukhona, kasisekho ngaphansi kwamandla omthetho.
26 Ɛnam gyidie so enti na mo nyinaa yɛ Onyankopɔn mma a mo ne Kristo Yesu aka abom no.
Lonke lingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa kuKhristu uJesu
27 Wɔbɔɔ mo asu hyɛɛ Kristo mu enti, moafa Kristo mu nnepa no ato mo ho so.
ngoba lonke lina elabhaphathizelwa kuKhristu selizembathise ngoKhristu.
28 Yɛnni Yudani anaa Helani, yɛnni akoa anaa ɔdehyeɛ, yɛnni ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa, na mo nyinaa yɛ onipa korɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
AkulamJuda loba oweZizweni, isigqili loba okhululekileyo, owesilisa loba owesifazane, ngoba lonke limunye kuKhristu uJesu.
29 Enti sɛ moyɛ Kristo dea a, na moyɛ Abraham asefoɔ, na bɔhyɛ no enti, moyɛ adedifoɔ nso.
Nxa lingabakaKhristu, ngalokho liyinzalo ka-Abhrahama, lezindlalifa njengokutsho kwesithembiso.
