Abhagalatia 3
1 Abhagalatia abhamumu, ni lisoki lijabhi linu lyabhanyamuye? Angu Yesu Kristo atelesibhwe lwo mubhambwa mu meso gemwe?
O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that all of you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 Anye enenda okumenya gunu okusoka kwemwe. Angu mwalamiye Omwoyo mu bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo amwi kulwo kwikilisha jinu mwonguwe?
This only would I learn of you, Received all of you the Spirit (pneuma) by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Angu emwe muli bhamumu kutiki? Emwe mwambile mu mwoyo koleleki mumalishe mu mubhili?
Are all of you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, (pneuma) are all of you now made perfect by the flesh?
4 Emwe mwanyakile mu misango myanfu kutyela, jakabhee chimali jaliga ja kutyela?
Have all of you suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
5 Angu oyo kasosha Omwoyo kwemwe no kukola ebhikolwa bhya managa mwimwe kakola mu bhilagilo amwi kulwo kungwa amwi no kwikilisha?
He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, (pneuma) and works miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6 Abrahamu “Ekilisishe Nyamuanga nabhalilwa kubha wo bhulengelesi”.
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Kulwejo mumenye ati abho abhekilisha ni bhana bha Abrahamu.
Know all of you therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 Elyandiko lyalotele ati Nyamuanga akabhabhalie obhulengelesi abhanu bha maanga mu njila yo kwikilisha. Iinjili yalasibhwe okwamba ku Abrahamu: “mwawe amaanga gone abhesibhwa amabhando”.
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In you shall all nations be blessed.
9 Koleleki mpola abho abhekilisha bhesibhwe amabhando lwa Abrahamu, unu aliga ali no kwikilisha.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 Abho abheikanya ebhikolwa bhye bhilagilo bhali emwalo ye chiimo. Kulwo kubha jandikilwe, “Eimilwe bhuli munu unu atagwatene ne misango jinu jandikilwe mu chitabho che bhilagilo, ojikola jone.”
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 Wolyanu jili abhwelu ati Nyamuanga atakumubhalila obhulengelesi nolwo umwi kulwe bhilagilo, kwo kubha “Omulengelesi kekala kulwo kwikilisha”.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 Echilagilo chitakusoka mu likilisha, mbe nawe “Unu kakola emisango ejo mu bhilagilo, kekala mu bhilagilo.”
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them.
13 Kristo achigululuye eswe okusoka mu chiimo che bhilagilo mukatungu kanu akolelwe chiimo kulwe swe. Kwo kubha jandikilwe, “Afumilisibhwe bhuli munu unu kabhambwa kwiti.”
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:
14 Okene bhwaliga bhuli ati amabhando ganu galiga gali ku Ibrahimu gakejile ku bhanu bha maanga mu Kristo Yesu, koleleki chitule okulamila omulago gwo Mwoyo mu likilisha.
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit (pneuma) through faith.
15 Bhaili, eniloma mu chinyamubhili. Nolwo mu katungu kanu omulago gwo chinyamubhili gwamalile okulumatanyibhwa, atalio unu katula okugugaya nolwo okugwongesha.
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man nullifies, or adds thereto.
16 Wolyanu omulago gwaikilwe ku Ibrahimu no lwibhulo lwaye. Itakwaika, “ku nyibhulo,” okwelesha obhwanfu, kulyejo elesha ati ni umwi ela, “kulwo lwibhulo lwao,” unu ali Kristo.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He says not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to your seed, which is Christ.
17 Wolyanu enaika ati, echilagilo echo chejile myaka 430 imbele, chitakusoshao lilagano lya inyuma linu lyateyweo na Nyamuanga.
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot nullify, that it should make the promise of no effect.
18 Kwo kubha labha omwandu chibha gwijile mu njila ye bhilagilo, gutakejile lindi mu njila yo mulago. Nawe Nyamuanga agusosishe ku Ibrahimu kwa injila yo mulago.
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Okubhaki woli ebhilagilo bhyasosibhwe? Yaletelwe kulwe bhikayo, kukingila olwibhulo lwa Ibrahimu luje ku bhanu bhaliga bhalagilwe. Ebhilagilo bhyateyweo mu managa mu kubhoko kwo mugwatanya.
Wherefore then serves the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Wolyanu omugwatanya eyelesha ingulu yo munu umwi, mbe nawe Nyamuanga ni umwi enyele ela.
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Kulwejo angu ebhilagilo bhitasikene no mulago gwa Nyamuanga? Na katyali uli! Lwa kutyo ebhilagilo bhyaliga bhisosibhwe bhwaliga no bhutulo bhwo kuleta obhuanga, obhulengelesi bhwakabhonekene mu bhilagilo.
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 Mbe nawe, elyandiko libhoyele amagambo gone emwalo ye bhibhibhi. Nyamuanga akolele ati koleleki omulago gwaye ogwo kuchikisha eswe mu likilisha ku Yesu Kristo itule okubhonekana ku bhanu abhekilisha.
But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 Mbe nawe anu elikilisha lyaliga lichali kuja elya Kristo, chaliga chibhoyelwe chili emwalo ye bhilagilo kukingila okuja kwe likilisha.
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Ku lwejo ebhilagilo bhyakolelwe mutangasha weswe kukingila Kristo anu ejile, koleleki chibhalilwe obhulengelesi kulwo kwikilisha.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 Mbe woli kwo kubha elikilisha lyejile, chitachali emwalo yo mwangalisi.
But after that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 Kwo kubha emwe bhone muli bhana bha Nyamuanga mu kwikilisha mu njila ya Kristo Yesu.
For all of you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 Bhone bhanu mubhatijibhwe mu Kristo mwifafishe Kristo.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 Atalio Muyaudi nolwo Muyunani, mugaya nolwo huru, mulume nolwo mugasi, kwo kubha emwe bhone muli umwi mu Kristo Yesu.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for all of you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 Labha emwe muli bha Kristo, mbe muli lwibhulo lwa Ibrahimu, abhali bhwo mwandu lwa kutyo omulago ogwaika.
And if all of you be Christ's, then are all of you Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
