Galatians 3
1 Ẹ̀yin aláìnírònú ará Galatia! Ta ní ha tàn yín jẹ, kí ẹ̀yin má ṣe gba òtítọ́ gbọ́? Ní ojú ẹni tí a fi Jesu Kristi hàn gbangba láàrín yín ni ẹni tí a kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú.
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the trueth, to whome Iesus Christ before was described in your sight, and among you crucified?
2 Kìkì èyí ni mo fẹ́ béèrè lọ́wọ́ yín, nípa iṣẹ́ òfin ni ẹ̀yin gba Ẹ̀mí bí, tàbí nípa ìgbọ́ràn pẹ̀lú ìgbàgbọ́?
This only would I learne of you, Receiued ye the Spirit by the workes of the Lawe, or by the hearing of faith preached?
3 Báyìí ni ẹ̀yin ṣe jẹ òmùgọ̀ tó bí? Ẹ̀yin tí ó ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìgbé ayé ìgbàgbọ́ yín nípa ti Ẹ̀mí, ṣé a ti wá sọ yín di pípé nípa ti ara ni?
Are ye so foolish, that after ye haue begun in the Spirit, ye would now be made perfect by the flesh?
4 Ẹ̀yin ha ti jìyà ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí lásán? Bí ó bá ṣe pé nítòótọ́ lásán ni.
Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if so be it be euen in vaine.
5 Ṣé Ọlọ́run fún yín ní Ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, tí ó sì ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu láàrín yín nítorí tí ẹ̀yin pa òfin mọ, tàbí nítorí ẹ ní ìgbàgbọ́ sí ohun tí ẹ gbọ́?
He therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it through the workes of the Law, or by the hearing of faith preached?
6 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Abrahamu “Ó gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́, a sì kà á sí òdodo fún un.”
Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes.
7 Ẹ jẹ́ kí ó yé é yín nígbà náà pé, àwọn ti ó gbàgbọ́, àwọn náà ní í ṣe ọmọ Abrahamu.
Knowe ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 Bí ìwé mímọ́ sì tí wí tẹ́lẹ̀ pé, Ọlọ́run yóò dá aláìkọlà láre nípa ìgbàgbọ́, ó tí wàásù ìyìnrere ṣáájú fún Abrahamu, ó ń wí pé, “Nínú rẹ̀ ni a ó bùkún fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.”
For the Scripture foreseeing, that God would iustifie the Gentiles through faith, preached before the Gospel vnto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.
9 Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni àwọn tí i ṣe tí ìgbàgbọ́ jẹ́ ẹni alábùkún fún pẹ̀lú Abrahamu olódodo.
So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham.
10 Nítorí pé iye àwọn tí ń bẹ ni ipa iṣẹ́ òfin ń bẹ lábẹ́ ègún: nítorí tí a tí kọ ọ́ pé, “Ìfibú ni olúkúlùkù ẹni tí kò dúró nínú ohun gbogbo tí a kọ sínú ìwé òfin láti máa ṣe wọ́n”.
For as many as are of the workes of the Lawe, are vnder the curse: for it is written, Cursed is euery man that continueth not in all things, which are written in the booke of the Law, to doe them.
11 Nítorí ó dánilójú pé, a kò dá ẹnikẹ́ni láre níwájú Ọlọ́run nípa iṣẹ́ òfin: nítorí pé, “Olódodo yóò yè nípa ìgbàgbọ́.”
And that no man is iustified by the Law in the sight of God, it is euident: for the iust shall liue by faith.
12 Òfin kì í sì í ṣe ti ìgbàgbọ́: ṣùgbọ́n, “Ẹni tí ó ba ṣe, yóò yè nípa wọn.”
And the Lawe is not of faith: but the man that shall doe those things, shall liue in them.
13 Kristi ti rà wá padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ègún òfin, ẹni tí a fi ṣe ègún fún wa: nítorí tí a ti kọ ọ́ pé, “Ìfibú ni olúkúlùkù ẹni tí a fi kọ́ sórí igi.”
Christ hath redeemed vs from the curse of the Lawe, made a curse for vs, (for it is written, Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree)
14 Ó gbà wá là ki ìbùkún Abrahamu ba à lè wá sórí àwọn aláìkọlà nípa Kristi Jesu; kí àwa ba à lè gba ìlérí Ẹ̀mí nípa ìgbàgbọ́.
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Iesus, that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirite through faith.
15 Ará, èmi ń sọ̀rọ̀ bí ènìyàn, gẹ́gẹ́ bi májẹ̀mú ènìyàn ti a ti fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀, kò sí ẹni tí ó lè sọ ọ́ di asán, tàbí tí ó lè fi kún un mọ́.
Brethren, I speake as men do: though it be but a mans couenant, when it is confirmed, yet no man doeth abrogate it, or addeth any thing thereto.
16 Ǹjẹ́ fún Abrahamu àti fún irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ ni a ti ṣe àwọn ìlérí náà. Ìwé Mímọ́ kò ṣọ wí pé, “fún àwọn irú-ọmọ rẹ̀,” bí ẹni pé ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀; ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹni pé ọ̀kan ṣoṣo, “àti fún irú-ọmọ rẹ̀,” èyí tí í ṣe Kristi.
Nowe to Abraham and his seede were the promises made. Hee saith not, And to the seedes, as speaking of many: but, And to thy seede, as of one, which is Christ.
17 Èyí tí mò ń wí ni pé: májẹ̀mú tí Ọlọ́run ti fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ níṣàájú, òfin ti ó dé lẹ́yìn ọgbọ̀nlénírinwó ọdún kò lè sọ ọ́ di asán, kí ó sì mú ìlérí náà di aláìlágbára.
And this I say, that the couenant that was confirmed afore of God in respect of Christ, the Lawe which was foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres after, can not disanull, that it shoulde make the promise of none effect.
18 Nítorí bí ogún náà bá dúró lórí ṣíṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí í òfin kì í ṣe ti ìlérí mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ti fi í fún Abrahamu nípa ìlérí.
For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise.
19 Ǹjẹ́ kí ha ni òfin? A fi kún un nítorí ìrékọjá títí irú-ọmọ tí a ti ṣe ìlérí fún yóò fi dé; a sì tipasẹ̀ àwọn angẹli ṣe ìlànà rẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ alárinà kan wá.
Wherefore then serueth the Law? It was added because of the transgressions, til the seed came, vnto the which the promise was made: and it was ordeined by Angels in the hande of a Mediatour.
20 Ǹjẹ́ onílàjà kì í ṣe alárinà ti ẹnìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀kan ni Ọlọ́run.
Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one.
21 Nítorí náà òfin ha lòdì sí àwọn ìlérí Ọlọ́run bí? Kí a má rí i; nítorí ìbá ṣe pé a ti fi òfin kan fún ni tí ó lágbára láti sọ ni di ààyè nítòótọ́ òdodo ìbá ti tipasẹ̀ òfin wà.
Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: For if there had bene a Lawe giuen which coulde haue giuen life, surely righteousnes should haue bene by the Lawe.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwé mímọ́ ti fi yé wa pé gbogbo ènìyàn ni ń bẹ lábẹ́ ìdè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, kí a lè fi ìlérí nípa ìgbàgbọ́ nínú Jesu Kristi fún àwọn tí ó gbàgbọ́.
But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be giuen to them that beleeue.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n kí ìgbàgbọ́ tó dé, a ti pa wá mọ́ lábẹ́ òfin, a sì sé wa mọ́ de ìgbàgbọ́ tí a ń bọ̀ wá fihàn.
But before faith came, we were kept vnder the Law, as vnder a garison, and shut vp vnto that faith, which should afterward be reueiled.
24 Nítorí náà òfin ti jẹ́ olùtọ́jú láti mú ènìyàn wá sọ́dọ̀ Kristi, kí a lè dá wa láre nípa ìgbàgbọ́.
Wherefore the Lawe was our scholemaster to bring vs to Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.
25 Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ìgbàgbọ́ ti dé, àwa kò sí lábẹ́ olùtọ́jú mọ́.
But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster.
26 Nítorí pé ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni gbogbo yín, nípa ìgbàgbọ́ nínú Kristi Jesu.
For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus.
27 Nítorí pé iye ẹ̀yin tí a ti bamitiisi sínú Kristi ti gbé Kristi wọ̀.
For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ.
28 Kò le sí Júù tàbí Giriki, ẹrú tàbí òmìnira, ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin nítorí pé ọ̀kan ni nínú Kristi Jesu.
There is neither Iewe nor Grecian: there is neither bonde nor free: there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Iesus.
29 Bí ẹ̀yin bá sì jẹ́ ti Kristi, ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀yin ní irú-ọmọ Abrahamu, àti àrólé gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí.
And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise.
