¹O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified [among you]?

¹¶ E nga Karatia whakaarokore, na wai koutou i whaiwhaia, i whakakitea nuitia na a Ihu Karaiti ki o koutou kanohi, he mea ripeka?

²This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?

²Heoi taku e mea ana kia whakaakona mai e koutou, No nga mahi ranei o te ture i riro mai ai te Wairua i a koutou, na te mea ranei ka rongo ki te whakapono?

³Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?

³Ha, kia pena koutou te whakaarokore? i runga i te Wairua ta koutou timatanga, a me whakaoti ranei e koutou i runga i te kikokiko?

⁴Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?

⁴He huakore noa iho ranei o koutou matenga maha? ki te mea ra he mea huakore.

⁵He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?

⁵Na, ko te kaiwhakawhiwhi i a koutou ki te Wairua, e mahi nei hoki i nga merekara i roto i a koutou, no nga mahi ranei o te ture tana, no te rongo ranei ki te whakapono?

⁶Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

⁶¶ Ka rite hoki ki a Aperahama i whakapono ki te Atua, a whakairia ana ki a ia hei tika.

⁷Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;

⁷Na, kia matau koutou, ko te hunga o te whakapono, he tamariki enei na Aperahama.

⁸and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

⁸A, i te kitenga o te karaipiture i mua, he whakapono ta te Atua hei whakatika mo nga tauiwi, ka kauwhautia wawetia te rongopai ki a Aperahama, Mau ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa.

⁹So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

⁹Ina, ko te hunga o te whakapono, e manaakitia ngatahitia ana me Aperahama i whakapono ra.

¹⁰For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;

¹⁰Ko te hunga katoa hoki o nga mahi o te ture, kei raro ratou i te kanga: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka kanga nga tangata katoa kahore e mau ki nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o te ture, hei mahi ma ratou.

¹¹but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

¹¹He hanga marama ano tenei, e kore e tika i te ture tetahi tangata ki te aroaro o te Atua: Ma te whakapono hoki e ora ai te tangata tika.

¹²but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

¹²He teka hoki no te whakapono te ture: engari, Ki te mahia aua mea e te tangata, ma aua mea ia e ora ai.

¹³Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,)

¹³Kua hokona tatou e te Karaiti i roto i te kanga a te ture, i a ia nei i meinga hei kanga mo tatou: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, He mea kanga nga tangata katoa e whakairia ki runga ki te rakau:

¹⁴that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁴Kia tae ai ki nga tauiwi te manaaki o Aperahama i roto i a Karaiti Ihu; kia riro mai ai i a tatou te kupu homai o te Wairua, he mea ma roto i te whakapono.

¹⁵Brethren, (I speak according to man,) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.

¹⁵E oku teina, he kupu tangata taku nei; Ahakoa he kawenata na te tangata, ki te mea ka oti te whakau, kahore he tangata hei turaki, hei tapiri ranei.

¹⁶But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

¹⁶Na, i korerotia nga kupu whakaari ki a Aperahama, ki tana whanau ano hoki. Kihai ia i mea, Ki nga whanau, me te mea he tokomaha; engari me te mea he kotahi, Ki tau whanau, ko te Karaiti hoki ia.

¹⁷Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁷Na ko taku kupu tenei; Ko te kawenata i whakaukia e te Atua i mua ra, e kore e ahei te ture, no muri iho nei o nga tau e wha rau e toru tekau i tae mai ai, ki te turaki, hei whakakahore i te kupu whakaari.

¹⁸For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

¹⁸Mehemea hoki na te ture i riro mai ai te kainga, heoi ehara i te mea na te kupu whakaari; otira i na runga mai i te kupu whakaari ta te Atua homaitanga ki a Aperahama.

¹⁹Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.

¹⁹¶ Hei aha ra te ture? I tapiritia mai mo nga pokanga ketanga, kia tae mai ra ano te whanau mona nei te kupu whakaari; he mahinga na nga anahera, i roto i te ringa o te takawaenga.

²⁰But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.

²⁰Na, he teka mo te kotahi te takawaenga; kotahi ia te Atua.

²¹[Is] then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

²¹He turaki ranei ta te ture i a te Atua kupu whakaari? Kahore rapea: me i homai hoki he ture, he mea kaha ki te whakaora, ina kua puta ake te tika i te ture.

²²but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

²²Heoi kua kopania nga mea katoa e te karaipiture ki raro o te hara, kia homai ai ki te hunga e whakapono ana te mea i whakaaria mai i runga i te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti.

²³But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.

²³I mua ia o te taenga mai o te whakapono, e puritia ana tatou i raro i te ture, he mea kopani, kia taea ra ano te whakapono e whakapuakina nei i muri.

²⁴So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.

²⁴Heoi kua meinga nei te ture hei kaiwhakaako mo tatou, hei arahi ki a te Karaiti, kia tika ai tatou i te whakapono.

²⁵But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;

²⁵Otira ka tae mai nei te whakapono, mutu ake to tatou meatanga mai e te kaiwhakaako.

²⁶for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁶He tamariki katoa hoki koutou na te Atua, he mea na te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu.

²⁷For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.

²⁷Ko te hunga katoa hoki o koutou kua iriiria ki roto ki a te Karaiti, kua kakahuria e koutou a te Karaiti.

²⁸There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus:

²⁸Kahore he Hurai, kahore he Kariki, kahore he pononga, kahore he rangatira, kahore he tane, wahine ranei; he tangata kotahi tonu hoki koutou katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

²⁹but if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.

²⁹A ki te mea na te Karaiti koutou, he whanau na Aperahama, mo koutou hoki te kainga i runga i te kupu whakaari.
