¹Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

¹Ay at Galasya ur nessin leṣlaḥ nsen ! Anwa i kkun-iseḥḥren kunwi iwumi i d-nessefhem akken ilaq lmut n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ ɣef wumidag ?

²I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

²?ef wayagi kan i bɣiɣ a kkun steqsiɣ : amek i wen-d-ițțunefk Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, imi i txeddmem ayen i d-teqqaṛ ccariɛa neɣ imi teslam yerna tumnem s lexbaṛ n lxiṛ n Lmasiḥ ?

³Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

³Eɛni ixuṣṣ-ikkun leɛqel ? Amek, di tazwara tețțeklem ɣef Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, tura tebɣam aț-țețțeklem ɣef yiman-nwen ?

⁴Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

⁴Eɛni ayen akk i tenɛețțabem iṛuḥ baṭel ? Ur ḥsiɣ ara iṛuḥ baṭel !

⁵He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

⁵Win i wen-d-ifkan Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, ixeddmen lbeṛhanat gar-awen, eɛni ixeddem-iten imi i tettabaɛem ccariɛa neɣ imi tumnem s lexbaṛ n lxiṛ iwumi teslam ?

⁶Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

⁶Akken yura : Ibṛahim yumen s Ṛebbi, yețkel fell-as, daymi i t-iḥseb Sidi Ṛebbi d aḥeqqi.

⁷Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.

⁷Ilaq aț-țfehmem ihi, wid iteddun s liman, d nutni i d arraw n tideț n Sidna Ibṛahim.

⁸The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.” Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18

⁸Si zik i d-ixebbeṛ Sidi Ṛebbi di tira iqedsen belli ad yerr leǧnas ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail d iḥeqqiyen ɣef ddemma n liman nsen, mi genna i Sidna Ibṛahim lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ : Leǧnas meṛṛa n ddunit ad țțubarken yis-ek ;

⁹So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

⁹ihi kra n win yumnen s Ṛebbi akken yumen yis Ibṛahim, ad ițțubarek am nețța.

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.” Deuteronomy 27:26

¹⁰Axaṭer wid yettabaɛen ccariɛa iwakken ad țwaqeblen ɣer Ṛebbi, deɛwessu tezga fell-asen imi yura : ad ițwanɛel kra n win yettabaɛen ccariɛa, ur nxeddem ara ayen akk yuran deg-s.

¹¹Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

¹¹Ula d yiwen ur izmir ad yuɣal d aḥeqqi zdat Ṛebbi s ccariɛa, ayagi d ayen ibanen imi yura : Aḥeqqi ad yidir s liman.

¹²The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.” Leviticus 18:5

¹²Abrid n ccariɛa d webrid n liman mxalafen, imi yura : d win ara ixedmen ayen akk i d-teqqaṛ ccariɛa ara yesɛun tudert n dayem.

¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” Deuteronomy 21:23

¹³Lmasiḥ icufeɛ-aɣ-d si deɛwessu n ccariɛa, d nețța i gețwaneɛlen deg umkan-nneɣ ; axaṭer yura : ițwanɛel kra n win ițwaɛelqen ɣer ttejṛa.

¹⁴that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁴Ayagi yedṛa-d iwakken s Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, leǧnas ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail ad weṛten lbaṛaka i gefka Sidi Ṛebbi i Ibṛahim ; s liman ara ɣ-d ițțunefk Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen i ɣ-iwɛed Sidi Ṛebbi.

¹⁵Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

¹⁵Ay atmaten, a wen-d-fkeɣ lemtel yellan di lɛaddat-nneɣ : m'ara yexdem yiwen leɛqed akken ilaq, yiwen ur izmir a t-inkeṛ neɣ a s-yernu kra.

¹⁶Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn’t say, “To seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “To your seed,” Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7 which is Christ.

¹⁶Ihi, Sidi Ṛebbi yefka lemɛahda i Ibṛahim akk-d win ara d-ilalen seg-s, ( ur d-yenni ara : i wid ara d-ilalen seg-s am akken aṭas i gellan ). Di tira iqedsen yura : i win ara d-ilalen seg-k ; win i ɣef yura wayagi, d Lmasiḥ.

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

¹⁷Atah wayen bɣiɣ a d-iniɣ : di tazwara Sidi Ṛebbi yesbedd leɛqed akken ilaq, ccariɛa i d-yusan ṛebɛa meyya utlatin iseggasen deffir-es, ur tezmir ara aț-țemḥu leɛqed-agi, neɣ m'ulac aț-țeɣli lqima n lemɛahda n Sidi Ṛebbi.

¹⁸For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

¹⁸Lemmer si ccariɛa ara newṛet leslak, acuɣeṛ lemɛahda ? Axaṭer s lemɛahda-agi i d-ibeggen Sidi Ṛebbi ṛṛeḥma-s i Ibṛahim.

¹⁹What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

¹⁹Acuɣeṛ ihi i d-tețțunefk ccariɛa ? Tețțunefk-ed iwakken a d-tesbeggen belli nɛuṣa lumuṛ n Sidi Ṛebbi, alamma yusa-d win akken ara d ilalen si dderya n Ibṛahim iwumi d tețțunefk lemɛahda. D lmalayekkat i d-yewwin ccariɛa ɣer ufus n Sidna Musa iwakken a ț-id-issiweḍ i yemdanen.

²⁰Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

²⁰Sidi Ṛebbi iceggeɛ-ed amdan iwakken a d-yessiweḍ ccariɛa i wiyaḍ, meɛna ur iḥwaǧ ara amdan iwakken ad isbedd leɛqed yid-sen.

²¹Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

²¹Eɛni ccariɛa txulef lemɛahdat n Sidi Ṛebbi ? Xaṭi ! Lemmer ccariɛa tezmer a d-tefk tudert i wemdan, tili yezmer wemdan ad yuɣal d aḥeqqi zdat Ṛebbi s ccariɛa.

²²But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

²²Lameɛna tira iqedsen nnant-ed : ddunit meṛṛa tella seddaw tezmert n ddnub ; iwacu ? Iwakken lemɛahda n Sidi Ṛebbi aț-țețțunefk i yemdanen meṛṛa ɣef ddemma n liman-nsen di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

²³But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

²³Uqbel a d-yas lweqt i deg ara namen s Lmasiḥ, nella seddaw leḥkum n ccariɛa, armi d ass i deg i d-yedheṛ webrid n liman.

²⁴So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

²⁴S wakka, nețțuṛebba-d s ccariɛa armi d asmi d-yusa Lmasiḥ iwakken a ɣ-yerr d iḥeqqiyen zdat Ṛebbi s liman.

²⁵But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

²⁵Tura yusa-d lweqt i deg ara namen s Lmasiḥ, ifuk fell-aneɣ leḥkum n ccariɛa.

²⁶For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁶Axaṭer tuɣalem akk d arraw n Sidi Ṛebbi s liman di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

²⁷For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁷Kunwi akk yețwaɣeḍsen s yisem n Lmasiḥ, tețɛicim tudert tajḍiṭ yellan di Lmasiḥ.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁸Tura ulac lxilaf ger wat Isṛail d iyunaniyen, ger waklan d iḥeṛṛiyen, ger yergazen ț-țilawin, axaṭer kunwi akk tuɣalem d yiwen di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

²⁹If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise.

²⁹Yerna ma tellam d ayla n Lmasiḥ, aql-ikkun si dderya n Ibṛahim, wid ara iweṛten akken i t-id-iwɛed Sidi Ṛebbi.
