< Galatians 4 >

1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
Iyanga aje abhanadamu upyani yu mwana, sagaali nuutofauti numtumwa, Gata nkesho tabhale wishoma shonti.
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
Ibadala yakwe, ali pansi yisimamizi na bhabhaghatiliye hadi umda gugubheshewelwe nobaba wakwe.
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
Shesho natee, lwatali bhana, talemwilwe nu utumwa wikanuni zya humwanzoni zya monsi.
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
Baada yimuda gugulisahihi afishe, Ungolobhe atwalile umwanawakwe, wapapwilwe noshe, upapwa pansi yindajizyo.
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
Awombile eshi ili ahubhagombole bhala bhabhali pansi yindajizyo ilitipewe ihali yabhe hansi bhanabhakwe.
6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
Eshi aje amwe mulibhana, Ongolobhe atwalile upepo wamwanawakwe mhati yimoyo getu, upepo, alila, “Abba, Baba.”
7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Hunamuneyo awe siguli mtumwa natena eshi ulimwana. Nkeshi uli mwana, eshi awe ulipyani abhilile hwa Ngolobhe.
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
Hata shamumbele, humanye Ungolobhe, mwali bhatumwa hwa bhala bhi asili saga bhalongobhe nzela.
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
Eshi isalezi huje mmenye Ungolobhe, au huje mmanyishe no Ngolobhe yenu muwelela tena mkanuni ziubhinu zya humwanzoni zyasagazili ni shoma? Eshi muhwanza tena abhe bhatumwa?
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
Mulema huwenyelezi insiku lilisalu lilwe, utukulo lwimwezi, amajira, na maha. Ihogopa kwa jili yenyu.
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
Ihogopa hunamuna emo injiyanzizye shaha.
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
Imbabhalabha, bhaholo mubhe hansi shindeho, indi hansi shamuleho. Sagamwankoseye.
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
Eshi mmenye aje yaali kwajili yimpongo yembele yaje natangazwaga iizu humwenyu humala ya hwande.
14 That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Ingabha ihali yane yembele yabhabheshele hwalenjewe, saganza yanye au huhane. Ni badala yakwe mwamposheleye hansi uhala uzelu wa Ngolobhe, hansi aje nali Kristi Yesu yoyo.
15 What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
Eshi luhwi alosongo lwenyu? afwatanaje imbasimisizye humwenyu aje, nkiwezehana andi mwasenya amaso genyu nahumpele ane.
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Nebho saba, Eshi indi aduwi wenyu afwatanaje ihubhawola ilyoli?
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
Bhahanza shushomela ila saga huminza. Bhahwanza hubhatenganisye amwe nane ili mubhafwate.
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
Shinza sana wila abhe ni shomela husababu zilishinza nasagagumuda tougwanalinamwa.
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
Bhanabhane mubhadodo, imbinile inkuni kwa ajili yenyu hadi uKilisti aumbishe mhati yenyu.
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Andinasongwa abhe pamoja namwe isalezi na badilisye isauti yane, kwa sababu indinamashaka juuu yenyu.
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
Mbozi, amwe mmunyonywa awe pansi yindajizo, sagamwevwazye indajizyo yiyanga?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
Iyandihwilwe aje u Abrahamu alina bhana bhishilume bhabhele, weka hola onshe umutumwa na uwamwao hashe umwaushe.
23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
Hata shesho, ola umutumwa apapwilwe hubele tou, ila ola oshe umwaushe apapwilwe huusobhizi.
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
Amambo ega gawezehana ahelezwe hwatumile atenganisye, afwataje abhashe ebha bhalengana na mapatano gabhele. Limo afume hwigamba Sinai. Lipapa abhana bhabhali bhatumwa, ono yu Hajiri.
25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
Eshi u Hajiri ligamba Sinai leleleho hu u Arabuni. Lilenganisiwa ni Yerusalemu yisalezi afwatanaje mutumwa palishimo na bhana bhakwe.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Ila i Yerusalemu oleho pamwanya yiwaule, nene ndiyo yumaye wetu.
27 For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
Afwatanaje isimbiwilwe, “Songwaji, “awe nshe uligomba awe wasaga upapa. Gholaga iholo na ghomaga ihalanga hwasongwe, awe wasagaulinuuzowefu wa pape. Eshi abhinji bhanabhakwe wali gomba, hani ya bhala wola wali nunume.”
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Eshi bhaholo, amwe mulibhana hansi u Isaka, amwe mulibhana wilosobhizi.
29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Whinsiku zila ambawe mumuntu apapwilwe humjibu wembele anyanzizye ola wapapwilwe humjibu wimpepo hata husalezi huli shesho.
30 However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
Iizi liyigawele? “Mwefwe oshe umtumwa pamoja nu mwana wakwe wishilume. Afwatanaje umwana washe umutumwa sagaipyana pamoja nu mwana washe umwaule.”
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
Eshi, bhalolo, ate sagatibhana bhanshe mutumwa, ila tilibhana bhanshe umwauzi.
