< 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?
O deficient-minded Galatoyee, who bewildereth you? For, behold, as if depicted before your eyes, hath Jeshu the Meshiha been crucified.
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?
This only would I know from you: Through the works of the law received you the Spirit, or through the hearing of faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
Are you so foolish that having begun in the Spirit you are now finishing in the flesh?
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
And all these have you borne in vain? But would it be in vain?
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?
Then, he who imparted to you the Spirit, and wrought miracles among you, (did he so) through the works of the law, or through the hearing of faith?
6 Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
As Abraham believed Aloha, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness,
7 Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.
know therefore that they who are of faith are the children of Abraham.
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.”
For Aloha who knew before that he would justify the Gentiles through faith, evangelized before unto Abraham; as saith the holy scripture: In thee all the nations shall be blessed:
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
therefore believers are blessed with Abraham the believer.
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.”
For they who are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who doeth not all that is written in this law.
11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
But that man is not justified by the law before Aloha, this maketh manifest: because it is written, The just by faith shall live.
12 The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
But the law is not of faith: but he who doeth those things that are written in it shall live by them.
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,”
But us hath the Meshiha bought from the curse of the law, and hath been made a curse instead of us: for it is written, Accursed is every one who is hanged on the wood:
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.
in order that upon the nations there might be the blessing of Abraham in Jeshu the Meshiha, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
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.
My brethren, I speak as among men: That a covenant of man because confirmed no one rejecteth, or changeth in any thing.
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.
But to Abraham was promised the promise, and to his seed. And he did not say to him, Unto thy seeds, as of many; but, To thy seed, as of one, him, (namely, ) who is the Meshiha.
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.
But I say this, that the covenant which was confirmed before by Aloha, in the Meshiha, the law which was after, four hundred and thirty years, cannot nullify, nor (can it) abolish the promise.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
But if the inheritance was by the law, it could not have been by the promise; but Aloha gave it unto Abraham by promise.
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.
Wherefore then was the law? It was added on account of transgression, until the Seed should come, he, of whom was the promise; and the law was given by angels into the hand of a Mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
But a Mediator is not of one; but Aloha is one.
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.
Is the law therefore against the promise of Aloha? Impossible: for if a law had been given which could make to live, certainly righteousness would have been by the law.
22 But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
But the scripture hath included all under sin, that the promise through faith of Jeshu Meshiha might be given to them who believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
But until (the dispensation of) faith came, the law kept us, as shut up unto the faith which was to be revealed.
24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
The law therefore was our conductor to the Meshiha, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
But faith being come, we are not under the conductor.
26 For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
For you are all the children of Aloha through the faith of Jeshu the Meshiha.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
For they who into the Meshiha are baptized have been clothed with the Meshiha.
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.
Jihudoya or Aramoya is not; the slave or the free is not; male or female is not; for you are all one in Jeshu Meshiha.
29 If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
And if you are of the Meshiha, therefore are you the seed of Abraham, and heirs by the promise.
