Ugalantiyawa 4
1 Ndin bellu nenge andi unan gadue gonari, na adi ugan nin kucin ba, andi amere unan nimone vat.
But I say, so long as the heir is an infant, he differs not from a slave, being lord of all things,
2 Vat nani adi nacara na nan yenju nin na nan dortu ninghe uduru kubi kongo na ucife na ceo.
but he is under nurses and stewards until the adoption of the father.
3 Arike wang nanere kubi kongo na tiwadi infitu, iwa min nari nan nya licin nadu in yï.
So also we, when we were infants, were enslaved under the elements of the world:
4 Nani na kubi wa dak dert Kutellẹ tọ Gono me, unuzu kitin wanni, kumatt nan nyan duka.
but when the fulness of time came, God sent forth his own Son, having been born of a woman, having been born under law,
5 Anan se utucu nale na iwa di nan nyan duka, tinan se useru lisosin nafo nono.
in order that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive the adoption of sonship.
6 Bara na anung nonari, Kutellẹ na tü nin Ruhunin Gono me nan nya nibinayi bite, ule na udin yicu ''Abba Ucif.''
But because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his own Son into our hearts, crying, Father, Father.
7 Bari nani, na udi kucin ba, uso gono, andi udi gono, uso fe unan gaduari unuzu Kutellẹ.
So you are no longer a servant but a son; and if a son, truly an heir through God.
8 A idutu, na iwadi isa yinno Kutellẹ ba, iwa din licin na lenge na iwa di atellẹ ba sam. Nene na iyinno Kutellẹ.
But you indeed, not knowing God, at that time served those who by nature are not gods:
9 Nene na iyinno Kutellẹ, sa negene na Kutellẹ yiru minu, in yaghari nta idin kpilzunu tuyung kiti nimon ile na idi (anfaniba) ba? Idi nin su ikuru i kpilin licin tutungha?
but now having known God, and rather having become known of God, how do you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements which you wish to serve again as formerly?
10 Idin dortu among ayiri na ina fere, iceo likot tipui tipese, kubi, nin nakus.
Do you keep days, and months, and times and years?
11 In din lanzu fiu nin ghinu, in din lanzu nfong fiu bara uwa da so nafo ndi su katuwa nan ghinu hem.
I fear lest I have labored unto you in vain.
12 Ndi minu kucukus linuana, yitan nafo meng, nafo nameng wang nso nafo anughe. Na ina tanni ba,
Be ye as I am, because I am as you are, brethren, I am praying for you.
13 iyiru bara udiru kayiri kidowo nwa su minu ulirun tucu nin kubie na nwa cizin.
You have not injured me: you know that through weakness of the flesh I formerly preached the gospel unto you:
14 Ile imon nan ina so ujaraba kiti mine unuzu liti ning na ina yassu ba, ana ina niari ba, vat nin nani ina na serui nafo gono kadura Kutellẹ, sa nafo ima seru Kristi Yisa ku.
and you did not despise, nor spit upon, your temptation in my flesh; but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
15 Ani, nene liburi libo mine din we? Bara meng bellin minu fo useri iwa kaluzu ijiji mine wang inayi.
Where then is your happiness? for I testify to you that, if possible, having plucked out your eyes, you would have given them to me.
16 Ani nene in ni so udon nivira mins bara na in bellin minu kidegengha?
Therefore have I become your enemy, telling you the truth?
17 Inughe na pizuru minu kang a na nimon icine ba. Idi nin su ikosu minu nan mi inan dofino nani.
They zealously seek you in no good way; but they wish to exclude you, in order that you may zealously seek them.
18 Ucaun iyita nin nayi asheu nin likaea kiti nimon icine ko kome kubi na macas meng wa di kiti mine ba.
It is good always to be zealous in a good thing, and not only in my coming to you.
19 Nono nin nibebene, ndin niu nin piu nin pazaza bara anughe tutung, sei Kristi nse lisosin nan nya mine!
My children, for whom I again travail in pain until Christ may be formed in you,
20 Ndi nin su nwa yitu ku ligowe nan ghinu kikane nene nkpilla liwui nighe, bara kibinayi nighe non ni ghinu ba.
but I wish to come unto you now, and change my voice; because I am at a loss in reference to you.
21 Bellen ni anung na idin pizuru uyitu nan nya nduka, na ilanza imon ile na uduken belle ba?
Tell me, you wish to be under law, do you not hear the law?
22 Nafo na iyerte di au Ibrahim wadi nin nono niba, kirum kitin wani katuwa ngame a kirum kitin wani nilugma.
For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one by a bond-maid and one by a freewoman.
23 Vat nin woro kin wani kata kilare iwa maru kinin nan nya kidowo, a kinin kin qani nilugme iwa maru kinin unuzu likawali.
But the one indeed of the bond-maid was born according to the flesh, and the one of the freewoman through the promise.
24 Ullenge ulirue kuyeli nimon ibari na iwasa ipuno ining kanang. Awani alele abe masin uchiwu nliru ubari, kirum unuzu likup in Sinai. Ulele mara nono licin. ule na amere Hajaratu.
Which things are allegorized: for these are the two covenants; the one indeed from mount Sinai, generating children into bondage, which is Hagar.
25 Nengene Hajaratu likup in Sinai yari in Arabiya linnare so nafo Urshalime kitimone, adi nan nya licin nin nono me.
For this mount Sinai is in Arabia, and corresponds with Jerusalem which now is: for she is in bondage with her children.
26 Nani uni Urshalima ulenge na udi kitene kani na udi licin ba, unnare una bite.
But Jerusalem who is above is free, who is our mother:
27 Nafo na iyerte di, ''Ta ayi abo, fe uwani in sali kumat, fe ulenge na una maru ba; Suna kibinayi usanfi uti ntet nayi abo, fe ulenge na uyiru ukonu liburi kumat ba; Bara na nono nnan sali kumate din gbardang, ni katin nin le na adi nin less.
for it is written, Rejoice, thou barren one who does not bring forth; break forth and cry aloud, thou that dost not travail: because many more are the children of the barren than of her having a husband.
28 Arik nene, nuwana, nafo Ishaku, nono likawaliari.
But you, brethren, are the children of Isaac, according to the promise.
29 Nafo na uwadi, ulenge na iwa marughe nan nya kidowo din ti ulenge na ina marughe nan nya Ruhu Kutellẹ aneo, nanere udi wang nene.
But as the one at that time having been born according to the flesh persecuted the one according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Uliru Kutellẹ nworo iyaghari? Kọ uwani licine nin gono me. Bara na gono in wani licin bali ugadu ligowe nin wani nilugma ba.
But what says the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not inherit with the son of the free.
31 Bara nani nuwana, na arik nono nwani licinari ba, nani arik na di nonon nwani nilugmari.
Therefore, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
