Ugalantiyawa 4
1 Ndin bellu nenge andi unan gadue gonari, na adi ugan nin kucin ba, andi amere unan nimone vat.
Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth in no respect from a bond-servant, though he is lord of all;
2 Vat nani adi nacara na nan yenju nin na nan dortu ninghe uduru kubi kongo na ucife na ceo.
but is under guardians and stewards, until the time appointed by 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 children, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world;
4 Nani na kubi wa dak dert Kutellẹ tọ Gono me, unuzu kitin wanni, kumatt nan nyan duka.
but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
5 Anan se utucu nale na iwa di nan nyan duka, tinan se useru lisosin nafo nono.
to redeem those under the Law, that we might be adopted as sons.
6 Bara na anung nonari, Kutellẹ na tü nin Ruhunin Gono me nan nya nibinayi bite, ule na udin yicu ''Abba Ucif.''
And to show that ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father!
7 Bari nani, na udi kucin ba, uso gono, andi udi gono, uso fe unan gaduari unuzu Kutellẹ.
So then thou art no longer a bond-servant, but a son; and if a son, then 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 at that time, indeed, when ye knew not God, ye were in slavery to those who in their 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, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how is it that ye are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments to which ye wish to be again in bondage?
10 Idin dortu among ayiri na ina fere, iceo likot tipui tipese, kubi, nin nakus.
Do ye observe 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 for you, lest I may have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
12 Ndi minu kucukus linuana, yitan nafo meng, nafo nameng wang nso nafo anughe. Na ina tanni ba,
Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as ye are; ye injured me in nothing.
13 iyiru bara udiru kayiri kidowo nwa su minu ulirun tucu nin kubie na nwa cizin.
Nay, ye know that it was on account of an infirmity of the flesh that I preached the gospel to you the former time,
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 my trial which was in my flesh ye did not despise nor spurn; but received me as an angel of God, yea, as Christ Jesus.
15 Ani, nene liburi libo mine din we? Bara meng bellin minu fo useri iwa kaluzu ijiji mine wang inayi.
How great then was your boasting of happiness! for I bear you witness, that if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and have given them to me.
16 Ani nene in ni so udon nivira mins bara na in bellin minu kidegengha?
So then, have I become your enemy because I tell 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 show a zeal for you, but not in honesty; yea, they wish to exclude you, that ye may be zealous for them.
18 Ucaun iyita nin nayi asheu nin likaea kiti nimon icine ko kome kubi na macas meng wa di kiti mine ba.
But it is good to be an object of zeal in what is good always, and not only when I am present with you.
19 Nono nin nibebene, ndin niu nin piu nin pazaza bara anughe tutung, sei Kristi nse lisosin nan nya mine!
My children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ 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.
I could wish indeed to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am in perplexity about you.
21 Bellen ni anung na idin pizuru uyitu nan nya nduka, na ilanza imon ile na uduken belle ba?
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law, do ye 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; the one by the bondwoman, the other by the 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 by the bondwoman was born after the flesh; while the one by the freewoman was 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 written allegorically; for these women are two covenants; the one from Mount Sinai, who beareth 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 the word Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; and she corresponds to the Jerusalem now existing, 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 the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she 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 that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for many are the children of the desolate one, rather than of her who hath the husband.”
28 Arik nene, nuwana, nafo Ishaku, nono likawaliari.
But ye, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of a 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 at that time he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born through the Spirit, 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 saith the scripture? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”
31 Bara nani nuwana, na arik nono nwani licinari ba, nani arik na di nonon nwani nilugmari.
So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the freewoman.
