Galatians 3
1 Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified?
Ŵanyamwe Ŵagalatia ŵakuloŵela! Ana ŵaani annosile ŵanyamwe? Ntekusalilwa pangasisika nkati chiwa chi Che Yesu Kilisito, kuti ŵaŵambikwe pansalaba mpela ila mwachinsyene intite pakulola kwa meeso genu.
2 I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Ngusaka kuchimanyilila chindu chimo kutyochela kukwenu, ana mwampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya kutendekanya yaikusachilwa ni Malajisyo pane kwa ligongo lya kujipilikanila ni kujikulupilila Ngani Jambone?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
Ana ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakuloŵela kwanti yelei? Ŵanyamwe mwatandite yose kwa ukamuchisyo wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, sambano nkusaka kumalichisya kwa machili genu mwachinsyene?
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
Ana, malagasyo gamwalasile ŵanyamwe galiji gangalimate? Ngaikomboleka!
5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Ana, Akunnungu akumpanga Mbumu jwakwe ni kupanganya yakusimonjeka kukwenu kwa ligongo nkupanganya yaikusachilwa ni Malajisyo, pane kwa ligongo nkujipilikanila Ngani Jambone ni kujikulupilila?
6 Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
Munnole che Iblahimu, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala “Che Iblahimu ŵaakulupilile Akunnungu, ni kwachikulupi cho ŵatendekwe kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.”
7 Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.
Nipele sambano, mmanyilile kuti ŵandu wose ŵakwakulupilila Akunnungu, ŵelewo ali ŵanache ŵa usyene ŵa che Iblahimu.
8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
Malembelo ga Akunnungu galongolele kulosya kuti, Akunnungu chiŵatende ŵambone paujo pao ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kwa litala lya chikulupi. Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵansalile kaje che Iblahimu Ngani Jambone ji achitiji, “Kwalitala lyenu, ngosyo syose chisikole upile.”
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
Nipele, ŵakwete chikulupi akukola upile pamo ni che Iblahimu ŵaŵakulupilile.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
Nambo ŵanawose ŵakukulupilila pe kupanganya yaikusachilwa ni Malajisyo alweseche. Pakuŵa, Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Jwalijose jwangakukamulisya ni kupanganya yose yailembekwe mchitabu cha Malajisyo, jwele jwanlweseche.”
11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
Sambano ikulosya kuti Malajisyo ngagakuntenda mundu aŵe jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu chatame kwa chikulupi.”
12 The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
Nambo Malajisyo ngagakukulupilila chikulupi, nambo Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwakupanganya yaikusachilwa ni Malajisyo chatame kwa Malajisyo go.”
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”
Kilisito ŵatuwombwele kutyochela pa malweso ga Malajisyo kwa kulijigalila malweso go kwa ligongo lyetu, pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Alweseche mundu jwalijose jwaŵichikwe pa chitela.”
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Chiwombosyo cho chatendekwe kuti upile wapegwilwe che Iblahimu watuluchile ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kwa litala lya Kilisito Yesu, ni kuti kwa litala lya chikulupi tumpochele Mbumu juŵatulanjile Akunnungu.
15 Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds to it.
Achalongo achinjangu, chinampe chitagu kutyochela mu umi wetu wa lyuŵa ni lyuŵa. Iŵaga ŵandu ŵaŵili aŵichilene malangano kwa kulumbilila, ni ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kupungusya pane kujonjechesya chindu mu gele malangano.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.
Nipele, Akunnungu ŵampele che Iblahimu chilanga ni uŵelesi wao. Malembelo ga Akunnungu ngagakusala, “Ni iŵelesi yao” nambo gakuti, “Ni uŵelesi wao,” yaani jumo pe, ni jwelejo ali Kilisito.
17 Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
Chingusaka kuŵecheta ni achi, Akunnungu ŵatesile lilangano lyakwe, ŵaŵechete isyene. Malajisyo gaiche payapite yaka machila ncheche ni makumi gatatu. Malajisyo go ngagakukombola kulityosya lilangano lya Akunnungu namose kuchitema chilanga.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
Pakuŵa, chilanga cha Akunnungu chikakulupilile kugajitichisya Malajisyo, nipele, ntuuka wo ngaukakombole kukulupilila chilanga cha Akunnungu. Nambo Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya wema wakwe, ŵapele ntuuka che Iblahimu, kwa ligongo lya lilangano lyo.
19 Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Sambano Malajisyo gana masengo gachi? Malajisyo gajonjechekwe pelepo ligongo lya kulosya sambi sili chindu chachi, mpaka pataiche ajula uŵelesi u che Iblahimu juŵapele chilanga chila. Malajisyo gaiche ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani kwa litala lya che Musa juŵaliji jwakwilanya.
20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
Nambo jwakwilanya ngakusachilwa kwa ligongo lya chindu chachikungamba mundu jumo, ni Akunnungu ali ŵamo pe.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
Uli, Malajisyo gakukanilana ni chilanga cha Akunnungu? Ngwamba! Pakuŵa, naga gakakopweswe malajisyo gagakukombola kwapa ŵandu umi, nipele, tukakombwele kutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya kugajitichisya malajisyo.
22 But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Nambo, Malembelo ga Akunnungu gamasile kuŵecheta kuti chilambo chose chili paasi pa ulamusi wa sambi, kwayele, aŵala ŵaakukulupilila apegwe ntuuka waulanjile Akunnungu, kwa kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Nambo chikanaiche chikulupi, twataŵikwe ni Malajisyo nti ŵataŵikwe, mpaka chikulupi cho pachichiunukulikwe.
24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Nipele, Malajisyo galiji ni ulamusi pachanya uwe mpaka paŵaiche Kilisito, kuti kwa litala lya chikulupi tukundikwe kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Nambo pakuŵa chikulupi chiiche, malajisyo nganigakola ulamusi pachanya petu.
26 For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
Kwa litala lya chikulupi, ŵanawose ndi ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe wose umwabatiswe ni kulumbikana ni Kilisito, ntame mpela yakuti pakusaka Kilisito.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Kwayele ngapagwa sooni kutindana pasikati ja Myahudi ni jwangaŵa Myahudi, kapolo ni jwalechelelwe, jwankongwe ni jwannume. Ŵanawose ndi chindu chimo kwa kulumbikana ni Che Yesu Kilisito.
29 If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
Iŵaga ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵakwe Kilisito, sambano ndi uŵelesi u che Iblahimu, chimpochele achila chalanjile Akunnungu.
