1 Yéen waa Galasi, yéena ñàkk xel! Ku leen fàbbi, gannaaw bi ma leen yégalee ci lu leer ni ñu daaje Yeesu Kirist ca bant ba?
1O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth — before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?
2 Lenn rekk laa bëgg, ngeen wax ma ko: ndax sàmm yoon wee tax, ngeen jot Xelum Yàlla? Déedéet! Dangeen a dégg xebaar bu baax bi te gëm ko.
2this only do I wish to learn from you — by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Mbaa du nii ngeen ñàkke xel, ba tàmbalee ci Xelum Yàlla, ba noppi yaakaar a mate ci seen jëfi bopp?
3so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?
4 Mbaa du fitna, yi ngeen daj yépp, dafa nar a neen? Mënuma koo gëm!
4so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.
5 Bu leen Yàlla di may Xelam, di leen won jalooreem, ndax li ngeen sàmm yoon a tax, mu def ko, mbaa li ngeen dégg xebaar bu baax te gëm ko?
5He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you — by works of law or by the hearing of faith [is it]?
6 Xool-leen ci Ibraayma; Mbind mi wax na ne:«Ibraayma gëm na Yàlla,te Yàlla jàppe ngëmam ni njub.»
6according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;
7 Xamleen boog ne, boroom ngëm yi rekk ñooy doomi Ibraayma.
7know ye, then, that those of faith — these are sons of Abraham,
8 Mbind mi tëral na lu jiitu ne, Yàlla dina àtte jub ñi dul Yawut ci kaw ngëm. Kon looloo tax mu yégal Ibraayma lu jiitu xebaar bu baax bi ne ko: «Xeeti àddina yépp dinañu barkeel ci yaw.»
8and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham —
9 Kon ñi gëm, Yàlla dina leen barkeel, sukkandikoo ko ci seen ngëm, ni mu defal Ibraayma, boroom ngëm.
9`Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;` so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,
10 Ñiy wékku ñépp ci jëfi yoon wi, ñu alku lañu, ndaxte bind nañu ne: «Képp ku dul topp lépp lu ndigali yoon wi santaane, Yal na alku.»
10for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed [is] every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law — to do them,`
11 Bir na sax ne, sàmm yoon du tax kenn jub fa kanam Yàlla, ndaxte Mbind mi tëral na ne: «Ku jub ci kaw ngëm dinga dund.»
11and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because `The righteous by faith shall live;`
12 Waaye yoon wi laajul ngëm. Mbind mi nee na: «Ku manoon a matal li yoon wi wax, kon dinga dund ba fàww.»
12and the law is not by faith, but — `The man who did them shall live in them.`
13 Waaye Kirist jot na nu ci alkande, ji yoon wi indi; mu gàddul nu ko, ba far alku moom ci boppam, ndaxte Mbind mi nee na: «Képp ku ñu rey, wékk ko ci bant, alku nga.»
13Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,`
14 Noonu barke bi Yàlla dig Ibraayma baawaan na, ba daj ñi dul Yawut te gëm Kirist Yeesu, te nu jot ci kaw ngëm Xel mu Sell, mi Yàlla dige.
14that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.
15 Bokk yi, maa ngi misaal wax ji ci jëfi doom Aadama. Xam ngeen ne, kóllëre gu ñu fas ba noppi, waruñu koo fecci, walla ñu ciy rax dara.
15Brethren, as a man I say [it], even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,
16 Léegi nag Yàlla am na lu mu dig Ibraayma ak askanam. Mbind mi waxul: «Ak i sëtam,» mu mel ni ñu bare, waaye kenn la wax: «Ak sa askan,» maanaam Kirist.
16and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, `And to seeds,` as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,` which is Christ;
17 Li ma ci bëgg a wax mooy lii: ndegam Yàlla fas na kóllëreem, yoonu Musaa, wi feeñ ñeenti téeméeri at ak fanweer gannaaw ga, du ko man a fecci, ba tebbi digeb Yàlla.
17and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,
18 Ndaxte xéewal, yi Yàllay dige, bu ñu doon jóge ci yoon wi, kon ajootuñu ci dige bi, fekk ci kaw dige la ko Yàlla maye Ibraayma.
18for if by law [be] the inheritance, [it is] no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant [it].
19 Waaw kon yoonu Musaa, luy jariñam? Dañu koo wàcceel nit ñi, ngir seen jàdd yoon ne fàŋŋ. Looloo doon wàllu yoon wi, ba kera Sët biy ñëw, moom mi ñu digoon dige bi. Yoon wi nag, Yàlla tëral na ko jaare ci ay malaaka, te am na ku ko jottali.
19Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator —
20 Waaye aajowul jottalikat, su fi kenn rekk teewee, te Yàlla kenn la.
20and the mediator is not of one, and God is one —
21 Ndax kon yoonu Musaa wi dafa juuyoo ak li Yàlla dige? Mukk! Su amoon yoon wu nit man a sàmm, ba mu jural ko dund gu sax, kon sàmm yoon dina tax nit jub fa kanam Yàlla.
21the law, then, [is] against the promises of God? — let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,
22 Waaye yoon wi tëj na ñépp ci dooley bàkkaar, ngir ñi gëm Yeesu Kirist jot li Yàlla dige woon ci seen kaw ngëm.
22but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.
23 Bi ngëm Yeesu Kirist feeñagul nag, yoon wi da noo tëjoon ràpp, ba kera ngëm di feeñ.
23And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,
24 Ci noonu la nu yoon wi doon noote, ba Kirist di ñëw, ngir Yàlla àtte nu jub ci kaw ngëm.
24so that the law became our child-conductor — to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,
25 Waaye léegi, bi jamonoy ngëm ji ñëwee, nekkatunu ci kilifteefu yoon wi.
25and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,
26 Yéen ñépp doomi Yàlla ngeen ndax li ngeen bokk ci Kirist Yeesu ci kaw ngëm.
26for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,
27 Yéen ñépp, ñi ñu sóob ci ndox ngir wone seen bokk ci Kirist, soloo ngeen Kirist.
27for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;
28 Kon nag amul xaajale ci diggante Yawut ak ki dul Yawut, ci diggante jaam ak gor, ci diggante góor ak jigéen. Yéen ñépp benn ngeen ci seen bokk ci Kirist.
28there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;
29 Bu ngeen bokkee ci Kirist, kon bokk ngeen ci askanu Ibraayma, te jot ngeen xéewal, yi ko Yàlla dig.
29and if ye [are] of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise — heirs.
