Vagalatia 3
1 vagalatia vajaasu, lwe liso liki ilihosi lino livananginie? pe uKilisite nakavonike hwene mpumuke pa maaso ghinu?
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you to keep you from obeying the truth? In your presence, before your very eyes, Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.
2 une ninoghua kukagula ili kuhuma ku lyumue. pe mukamwupile uMhepo kumaghendele gha ndaghilo au kwa kwitikila sila sinomukupile?
Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?
3 pe umue mulivajaasu ene ndiki? pe mukatengile nu Mhepo neka mumale nu m'bili?
Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now trying to be perfected by the flesh?
4 pe mukapumwike mu nyinga vuvule, ndeve lweli sikale sa vuvule?
Did you suffer so much in vain?—if indeed it was in vain.
5 pe umwene juno amwumusie uMhepo kulyumue nakuvomba isinya ngufu kulyumue ivomba ku sa ndaghilo au kupulika palikimo nu lwitiko?
Does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you because you perform the works of the law or because you hear with faith?
6 UAbulahamu “alyale mwitiki kwa Nguluve akavalilue kuuva nyakyang'haani”
Remember, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
7 mu lula lula mukagule kuuti, vala vano vikwitika ve vaanha va Abulahamu.
Therefore you must understand that those who have faith are the sons of Abraham.
8 ililembe likavonwile kuuti uNguluve ale ikuvavalila ikyang'haani avapanji kusila ja lwitiko. ilivangili likadalikilue kwa Abulahamu taasi: “kukilila uve iisi sooni sikaunyilue”.
Now the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in yoʋ.”
9 neka pambele vala avanya lwitiko viise vafunyue palikimo nu Abulahamu, juno akale nu lwitiko.
So then, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
10 vala vano vihuvila amaghendele gha ndaghilo vali mu lughuno. ulwakuva jilembilue, aghunilue umuunhu ghweni juno naikolana ni sooni sino silembilue mu kilembe kya ndaghilo, kukusivomba sooni.
For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
11 lino vwelu kuuti uNguluve naikum'balila ikyang'haani nambe jumo mu ndaghilo kwa kuva unya kyang'haani ikukala ku lwitiko”
Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, because “the righteous will live by faith.”
12 indaghilo najihumilanila nu lwitiko, neke pe pano “juno ivomba isi mu ndaghilo ikukala mu ndaghilo.
But the law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The person who does these things will live by them.”
13 uKilisite alyatupokile usue kuhuma ku lughuno lwa ndaghilo un'siki ghuno akavombikue kuuva lughuno vwimila jitu, ulwakuva jilembilue,” aghunilue umuunhu ghweni juno akovikue kukyanya ja mpiki.”
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.”
14 uvufumbue vulyale kuuti, ulufunyo luno lulyale kwa Abulahamu lwale lukwisa kuvapanji mwa Kilisite yeesu, neke kuuti twupile uluingo lwa Mhepo kukilila u lwitiko.
He redeemed us so that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 vanyalukolo nijova mu lwa m'bili nambe pano ulwiting'ano lwa ki muunhu luvikilue kikangafu, nakwale juno iwesia kubenapula nambe kukwongelesia.
Brothers, let me give an example from everyday life: When a man-made covenant is ratified, no one annuls it or adds to it.
16 lino ulufingo lukajovilue kwa Abulahamu na kukisina kyake. najijova kuuti, “kufisina” kusona vinga looli jumo mwene, “ku kisina kyako” juno ghwe Kilisite.
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say, “And to his descendants,” referring to many, but referring to one man it says, “And to yoʋr descendant,” who is Christ.
17 lino niti ndiki, indaghilo jino jikisie amaka 430 pambele, najivusia ulupuling'ahano lwa kunsana luno lukavikilue nu Nguluve.
My point is this: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul a covenant previously ratified by God to Christ, so as to invalidate the promise.
18 kwa kuva uvwimilisi vwale vukwisa ku sila ja ndaghilo, navwale vukwisa kange ku sila ja lufingo. neke uNguluve akavuhumisie vuvule kwa Abulahamu ku sila ja lufingo.
For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by the promise; but God granted it to Abraham by a promise.
19 kiki lino indaghilo jikahumisivue? jikongelesivue kuhumila mu vuhosi, kuhanga umuholua ghwa Abulahamu ise ku vala vano akafingilue, indaghilo jikavikilue ku kulila avanyMhola ku luvoko lwa juno isambania.
Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the descendant should come to whom the promise had been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 lino juno isambania ifumbua kukila umuunhu jumo, looli uNguluve ghwe jumo mwene.
Now a mediator does not represent just one party, but God is one.
21 pe lino indaghilo najijova isa mu lufingo lwa Nguluve? na kwekuuti! ulwakuva nave indaghilo jino jikamumisivue jilyale ni ngufu isa kuleta uvwumi, ikyang'ani jale jipatikana ku ndaghilo.
Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, truly righteousness would have come through the law.
22 neke peepano ililembe lidindiile sooni mu muvuhosi. uNguluve alyavombile ndiki neke kuuti ulufungo lwake ulwa kutupoka usue ku lwitiko mwa Kilisite Yesu luwesie kupatikana ku vala vano vikumwitika.
But the Scripture has confined all under sin, so that the promise might be given on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.
23 neke ye lukyale kumema ulwitiko lwa Kilisite, tulyadindilue na kuva pasi pa ndaghilo kuhanga lwise ulusyetulilo lwa lwitiko.
Now before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24 pe lino indaghilo jilyale ghwe mulongosi ghwitu kuhanga uKilisite pano akisilse, neke kuuti, tuvalilue ikyang'ani ku lwitiko.
The law, then, was our guardian until Christ came, so that we could be justified by faith.
25 lino ulwakuva ulwitiko lwisile natuli mwa mulolelesi kange.
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,
26 ulwakuva umue mweni muli vaanha va Nguluve kukilila ulwitiko mwa Kilisite Yesu.
for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 mwevoni mwevano mukofughue mwa Kilisite munfwalile u Kilisite,
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 namkwale umuYahudi nambe umuYunani, umbombi nambe juno na m'bombi, umughosi nambe un'dala, ulwakuva mweni mulivamo mwa Kilisite Yesu.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 nave muli va Kilisite pe nuvuholuo lwa Abulamamu, vapelua kuvutavike vwa lufingo.
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants and heirs according to the promise.
