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 senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified [among you]?
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 I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?
3 Mbaa du nii ngeen ñàkke xel, ba tàmbalee ci Xelum Yàlla, ba noppi yaakaar a mate ci seen jëfi bopp?
3Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?
4 Mbaa du fitna, yi ngeen daj yépp, dafa nar a neen? Mënuma koo gëm!
4Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also 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 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?
6 Xool-leen ci Ibraayma; Mbind mi wax na ne:«Ibraayma gëm na Yàlla,te Yàlla jàppe ngëmam ni njub.»
6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
7 Xamleen boog ne, boroom ngëm yi rekk ñooy doomi Ibraayma.
7Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;
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 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.
9 Kon ñi gëm, Yàlla dina leen barkeel, sukkandikoo ko ci seen ngëm, ni mu defal Ibraayma, boroom ngëm.
9So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing 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 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;
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.»
11but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;
12 Waaye yoon wi laajul ngëm. Mbind mi nee na: «Ku manoon a matal li yoon wi wax, kon dinga dund ba fàww.»
12but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by 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 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,)
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 the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through 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, (I speak according to man,) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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? 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.
20 Waaye aajowul jottalikat, su fi kenn rekk teewee, te Yàlla kenn la.
20But a mediator is not of one, but 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.
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;
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 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.
23 Bi ngëm Yeesu Kirist feeñagul nag, yoon wi da noo tëjoon ràpp, ba kera ngëm di feeñ.
23But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] 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 has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.
25 Waaye léegi, bi jamonoy ngëm ji ñëwee, nekkatunu ci kilifteefu yoon wi.
25But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;
26 Yéen ñépp doomi Yàlla ngeen ndax li ngeen bokk ci Kirist Yeesu ci kaw ngëm.
26for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 Yéen ñépp, ñi ñu sóob ci ndox ngir wone seen bokk ci Kirist, soloo ngeen Kirist.
27For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have 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 no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus:
29 Bu ngeen bokkee ci Kirist, kon bokk ngeen ci askanu Ibraayma, te jot ngeen xéewal, yi ko Yàlla dig.
29but if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.
