Abhagalatia 4
1 Mbe enaika ati omuli wo mwandu akabha achali mutoto, bhutalio bhutashanya no mugaya, nolwo kutyo niwe omukuru wa bhyone.
I say now, for as long as time the heir a child is, [in] no[thing] he differs from a slave [though] owner of everything being;
2 Nawe katungwa abhasigilwa abhabhiki okukinga mu mwanya gunu esemwene alagile.
Instead under guardians he is and trustees until the time appointed by [his] father.
3 Nyabhuliko neswe one, anu chaliga chichali bhana, chaliga chitungilwe jintungwa jo bhusimuka je chalo.
So also we ourselves when we were children, under the basic principles of the world (we ourselves were *N+kO) held in bondage;
4 Nawe jinsiku jejile jakumila, Nyamuanga natuma Omwana wae, unu ebhuywe no mugasi, unu ebhuywe atungilwe ebhilagilo.
When however had come the fullness of the time, sent forth God the Son of him, having been born of a woman, having been born under [the] Law,
5 Akolele kutyo koleleki achungule bhanu bhatungilwe ebhilagilo, eswe chikolwe abhana.
that those under [the] Law He may redeem, so that the divine adoption as sons we may receive.
6 Okubha muli bhana, Nyamuanga atumile Omwoyo gwo Mwana wae mu mitima jeswe, nalila ati, “Lata, Lata.”
Because now you are sons, sent forth God the Spirit of the Son of Him into the hearts (of us *N+KO) crying out; Abba O Father!
7 Ku lwejo awe utachali mugaya nawe uli mwana. Mbe ukabha uli mwana, uli muli wo mwandu ku Nyamuanga.
So no longer no longer you are a slave but a son; if now a son, also an heir of through God (Christ. *K)
8 Nawe kala, mwaliga mutakumenya Nyamuanga, nimukolela bhanu bhatali bhanyamuanga mu bhusimukwa.
But at that time indeed not knowing God you were enslaved to those by nature not being gods;
9 Nawe olyanu, okubha mwamumenyele Nyamuanga, au ati Nyamuanga abhamenyele emwe, ni kulwaki omuinduka inyuma mu bhyo bhusimukwa bhinu bhitana managa ne bhyo bhutaka? Nimwenda okusubha okutungwa nabhyo lindi?
now however having known God, rather however having been known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and destitute principles to which again anew (to be enslaved *NK+o) you desire?
10 Omwikomelesha muno jinsiku, amesi, na magolo ne myaka. Enibhawela omwoyo.
Days you observe and months and seasons and years.
11 Enibhawela omwoyo nisige kubha amwi nanyakiye emwe kutyo ela.
I fear for you lest perhaps in vain I have toiled for you.
12 Enibhalembelesha, bhaili, mubhe lwanye, okubha nili lwemwe. Mutankaiye anye omusango.
do become as I myself [am], because I myself also [have become] I myself also [have become] as you yourselves. brothers, I implore you; [In] no [thing] me You wronged.
13 Nawe mumenyere ati mu bhulenga bhwo mubhili gwani nabhasimuliye ebhigambo bhyo bhwana.
You know now that in weakness of the flesh I evangelised to you at the first,
14 Mutagaile okusakwa kunu mwabhwene kulwo mubhili gwani amwi mutalemele. Nawe mwandamiye lwa malaika wa Nyamuanga, lwa Yesu Kristo.
and the test (of you *N+KO) in the flesh of mine not you did despise [me] nor reject [me] with contempt, but as an angel of God you received me even as Christ Jesus.
15 Mbe, okukondelelwa kwemwe okwo woli kuli aki? Okubha enitula okwaika chimali ati, ichitulikana, mwakasosishemo ameso gemwe munana anye.
(Where *N+KO) then (was *k) the blessedness of you? I bear witness for to you that, if possible, the eyes of you having gouged out (then would *k) you have given [them] to me.
16 Mbe oli, nibhee muremo wemwe okubha enibhabhwila ebhye chimali?
So enemy of you have I become speaking truth to you?
17 Abho bhali no bhukalae kwimwe, nawe tali mu bhwekisi. Nawe bhendele okubhegalila mutanyibhwe nanye koleleki mubhajile abhene.
They are zealous after you not rightly, but to exclude you [from us] They desire so that them you may be zealous after.
18 Nawe ni kwa bhwana okubhaga no bhukalae ku misango je kisi, tali mu mwanya ogwo ela gunu enibha amwi nemwe.
Good [it is] now to be zealous in a right [thing] at all times, and not only in being present me with you,
19 Abhana bhani, bhanu enilumwa obhusungu lindi kukinga Kristo lunu alimogelwa mwimwe.
(Children *N+kO) of mine, of whom again I travail (until *N+kO) that may have been formed Christ in you.
20 Nali nendele okubha amwi nemwe wolyanu no kuindula obhulaka bhwani, okubha enitimata kubhwemwe.
I was wishing indeed to be present with you presently and to change the tone of mine, because I am perplexed as to you.
21 Mumbwile, emwe bhanu omwenda okutungwa ebhilagilo, mutakungwa ebhilagilo kutyo ebhyaika?
do tell me, you who [are] under [the] Law wishing to be, the Law not you do listen to?
22 Okubha yandikilwe ati Ibrahimu aliga ali na bhana bhe chilume bhabhili, oumwi wo mugayagasi oundi wo mwibhule.
It has been written for that Abraham two sons had, one of the slave woman and one of the free.
23 Nawe, owo mugayagasi ebhuywe kulwo mubhili, nawe owo mwibhule ebhuywe kulwo mulago.
But the [one] indeed of the slave woman according to flesh has been born, the [one] however of the free through (the *k) promise.
24 Ebhyo bhyabhee chijejekanyo, okubha abhagasi abho bhasusana na jindago jibhili. Eimwi eisoka ku chima cha Sinai. Niyo eibhula mu bhagaya, eyo niwe Hajiri.
which things are allegorized; these for are two covenants, one indeed from Mount Sinai unto slavery begetting which is Hagar.
25 Okubha Hajiri oyo niwe echima cha Sinai chinu chili mu Bhuarabu. Echisusanibhwa na Yerusalemu ya woli, kwo kubha ili mu bhugaya amwi na bhana bhayo.
(Now *N+kO) Hagar Sinai Mount is in Arabia, she corresponds now to the present Jerusalem, she is in slavery (for *N+kO) with the children of her.
26 Nawe Yerusalemu ya ingulu niyo eye chibhule, niwe mai unu achibhuye.
But the above Jerusalem free is who is mother (of all *K) of us;
27 Okubha jandikilwe ati, “Kondelelwa, awe omugumba, nyatebhula. Lagilisha waikile ingulu, awe unu utalumilwe bhusungu. Okubha abhana bha unu asigilwe ni bhanfu, kukila abha unu ali no mulume.”
It has been written for: do rejoice O barren woman you who [are] not bearing, do break forth and do call aloud you who [are] not travailing, because many [are] the children of the desolate woman more than of [her] who having the husband.
28 Nawe eswe bhaili, chili bhana bho mulago lwa Isaka.
(you yourselves *N+KO) now, brothers, like Isaac of promise children (you are. *N+KO)
29 Mbe nawe lwa unu ebhuywe kulwo mubhili kutyo anyasishe unu ebhuywe kulwo Mwoyo mu nsiku jilya, nikwo kutyo na oli.
But just as at that time the [one] according to flesh having been born he was persecuting the [one born] according to Spirit so also [it is] now;
30 Nawe bhinu bhyandikilwe ebhyaika atiki? Ebhyaika ati, “Musosheo omugayagasi no mwana wae we chilume. Okubha omwana wo mugayagasi atalilya omwandu amwi no mwana owo mwibhule.”
But what says the Scripture? do cast out the slave woman and the son of her, certainly for not (will inherit *N+kO) the son of the slave woman along with the son of the free.
31 Mbe, bhaili, eswe chitali bhana bho mugayagasi, nawe chili bho mwibhule.
(So then, *N+kO) brothers, not we are of [the] slave woman children but of the free;
