Galatians 3

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

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

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Heoi 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?

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

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

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

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

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Na, 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?

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

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

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

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

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

A, 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.

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

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

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Ko 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.

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

He 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.

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

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

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Kua 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:

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

Kia 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.

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

E 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.

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Na, 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.

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Na 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.

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Mehemea 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.

Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

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.

Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

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

Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

He 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.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Heoi 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.

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

I 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.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

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

But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

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

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

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

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

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

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Kahore 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.

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

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