Ugalantiyawa 3

1 Anung anan Galantiyawa alalang, ghari na su minu tikanci? Anung na iwa bana Yisa Kristi ku niyizi mine kitene kucha, ikotinghe tikusa niyizi mine?

O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth — before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

2 Ilelere cas in di nin su iyininin kitimine. Ina seru uruhe nan nya dortu dukaria sa bara uyinnu nin nilemmon na ina lanzari?

this only do I wish to learn from you — by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

3 Idi alala kan naniya? Ina cizin nan nya nruhu inani ma malzunu nan nya kidowa?

so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?

4 Ina sono uniu nin nimon gbardang nani hemma, andi nanere hemmaria?

so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

5 Andi nanere ame ule na adin nizu minu uruhue, amini din su katuwa nakara nan nya mine, unuzun ndortun ndukaria sa unuzun in lanzu lirun yinnu sa uyenuari?

He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you — by works of law or by the hearing of faith [is it]?

6 Nafo na Ibrahim “wa yinnin nin Kutellẹ, inani wa batizaghe mun nafo fiu Kutellẹ.”

according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;

7 Nene nuwana, yinnon ale na iyinna nonon Ibrahimari.

know ye, then, that those of faith — these are sons of Abraham,

8 Ulirue di ina malu uyinnu Kutellẹ ma su anan salin dortume ushara nnuzu yinnu sa uyenu minere. Ina belli ulirun tuchun nnuzun Ibrahimme uworsu nenge, “Kitifere vat anan salin yiru Kutellẹ ima ti nani nmari.”

and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham —

9 Nanere ale na ina yinnin sa uyenu idi nin mari nin Ibrahim, ana yinnin sa uyenu.

'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,

10 Ngbardang na lenge na idin su katuwa nshara nin kidowo imase ula'ana. Bara ina yertin “Unan la'anari unit ule na adi su vat nimon ile na ina nyertin nan nya niyerte nduka ba.”

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed [is] every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law — to do them,'

11 Nene udi kanan na Kutellẹ ma ti umong se usurtu bara uduka ba, “Bara unit ulau mati ulai unuzun yinnu sa uyeneri.”

and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;'

12 Na uduka di unuzun yinnu sa uyenuari ba, una di, “Ule na adin dortu uduke mati ulai nan nya duke.”

and the law is not by faith, but — 'The man who did them shall live in them.'

13 Kristi na seru nari nan nya kitin lla'ana nduka na ame wa so ula'ana bara arik, na ina nyertin, “Vat in nit ule na ibanaghe kucha unan la'anari.”

Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

14 finu nlire wadi alumai ban se nmari unuzun nan nya Kristi Yisa, bara tinan se userun likawali nruhu unuzun yinnu sa uyenu.

that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

15 Linuana, idin liru nafo anit. Andi ma unitari na tti nsue, asa iwutu kimal nin na unan sakue dukuba a na unan kpinu ma duku ba.

Brethren, as a man I say [it], even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,

16 Nene usunu nnuwe iwa belli Ibrahim ku nin kuwunu me. Na iwa woro “awunuari ba” nafo adi gbardang, kunin kurumari cas, “nani udu kuwunu fe,” kristiari une di.

and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

17 Nene in din bellu usunu nnuwe na Kutellẹ na malu wutu kimale na ana musuzu unin nin duka ule na uwa dak kimal nakus akalt anas nin nakut atat ba.

and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

18 Andi ugadue wa dak unuzu kitin ndukari, uso na unuzu kitin nsunun nuwari ba. Bara Kutellẹ na ni unin tọp kitin Ibrahim unuzun nsunun nnu.

for if by law [be] the inheritance, [it is] no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant [it].

19 Bari iyaghari inani? Inan kpiku bara ukaluzun liru, se kuwunu kon go na ina sun kunin unuwe nda kiti nale na ina sun nani unuwe, iwa cizin katuwa nin duke kiti na nan kadura Kutellẹ kiti nacaran nnan piru kitik.

Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator —

20 Nene na unan piru kitike unit urumari ba, Vat nani Kutellẹ kurumari.

and the mediator is not of one, and God is one —

21 Nane uduka din serzu tikot nin sunu tinu Kutellẹ? Na nanere ba! Andi iwa ni uduka ule na uwasa una ulai, kidegen fiu Kutellẹ wa dak unuzun dukari une.

the law, then, [is] against the promises of God? — let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

22 Vat nani uliru ulau in yatca imon vat nan nya kulapi. Nani usunun nnu Kutellẹ nworu a tucu nari nnuzu in yinnu sa uyenu nan nya Yisa Kristi iwa ni alẹ na iwa yinnin.

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

23 A uyinnu sa uyenu nin Kristi dutusa udak, iwa yachu i nyeshe nari nin duka udu kubin nutunu in yinnu sa uyenue.

And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,

24 Uduke uni waso unan rissu nari udo mun kitin Kristi, tinan se usurtu unuzun yinnu sa uyenu.

so that the law became our child-conductor — to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

25 Nene na uyinnu sa uyenu na dak, nati du nworu irissu nari ba.

and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,

26 Bara anung vat nono Kutellari unuzu in yinnu sa uyenu nan nya Kristi Yisa.

for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

27 Vat ligan nalẹ na ina shintu minu nmyen nan nya Kristi, ina shon atimine nan nya Kristi.

for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

28 Na ku Yahudawa duku ba ana ku Helenawa ba, na kucin dukuba, a na usaun ba, na kilime sa kishono ba, vat mine arumer nan nya Kristi Yisa.

there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

29 Andi anung anit in Kristiari, iso kuwunun Ibrahimari une, anan lin gadu unuzun sunnun nü

and if ye [are] of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise — heirs.
