Abaggalatiya 4
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
4 Naye ŋŋamba nti omusika bw’aba ng’akyali mwana muto, tayawulwa na muddu, newaakubadde nga ye mukama wa byonna. 2 Afugibwa abasigire n’abawanika okutuusa lw’akula n’atuuka ku kigero kitaawe, kye yategeka. 3 (A)Era naffe bwe tutyo bwe twali tukyali bato, twafugibwanga obulombolombo obw’ensi. 4 (B)Naye ekiseera bwe kyatuuka, Katonda n’atuma Omwana we 5 (C)eyazaalibwa omukazi ng’afugibwa amateeka, tulyoke tufuuke abaana. 6 (D)Era kubanga tuli baana, Katonda yatuma Omwoyo w’Omwana we okubeera mu mitima gyaffe, era kaakano tuyinza okwogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Aba, Kitaffe.” 7 (E)Kale kaakano tokyali muddu, wabula oli mwana; era nga bw’oli omwana oli musika ku bwa Katonda.
Pawulo Alowooza ku Baggalatiya
8 (F)Mmwe bwe mwali temunnamanya Katonda mwabanga baddu ba bitali Katonda. 9 (G)Naye kaakano mutegedde Katonda era naye abategedde, kale muyinza mutya okukyuka, ne mugoberera obulombolombo obunafu obutalina maanyi ne mwagala okufuuka abaddu baabwo? 10 (H)Mukwata ennaku, n’emyezi, n’ebiro, n’emyaka; 11 (I)neeraliikirira si kulwa ng’omulimu omunene gwe nakola mu mmwe gwali gwa bwereere.
12 Abooluganda, mbeegayirira mubeere nga nze, kubanga nange ndi nga mmwe. Temulina kabi ke mwankola; 13 (J)era mumanyi nga mu bunafu obw’omubiri, mmwe be nasooka okubuulira Enjiri. 14 Naye newaakubadde nga mwandinnyomye olw’obulwadde bwange, temwangobaganya, wabula mwansembeza nga malayika wa Katonda, nga Yesu Kristo. 15 Kale essanyu lyammwe lyadda wa? Kubanga ndi mujulirwa wammwe nti, mwali musobola okuggyamu amaaso gammwe ne mugampa okunnyamba singa kyali kyetaagisa. 16 (K)Kale kaakano nfuuse omulabe wammwe olw’okubategeeza amazima?
17 Abo abalabika ng’abaabassaako ennyo omwoyo tebabaagaliza birungi, okuggyako okwagala okubaggalira ebweru, mulyoke mudde ku luuyi lwabwe. 18 (L)Naye kirungi okunyiikiranga okukola ebirungi bulijjo, naye si lwe mbeera nammwe lwokka. 19 (M)Baana bange be nnumirwa nate ng’alumwa okuzaala, okutuusa Kristo lw’alibumbibwa mu mmwe, 20 nandyagadde okubeera nammwe kaakano, n’okukyusa eddoboozi lyange kubanga ndi mweraliikirivu ku lwammwe.
Agali ne Saala
21 Mumbulire, mmwe abaagala okufugibwa amateeka, lwaki temuwulira mateeka? 22 (N)Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti Ibulayimu yazaala abaana babiri aboobulenzi, omu yamuzaala mu mukazi omuddu, n’omulala n’amuzaala mu mukazi ow’eddembe. 23 (O)Omwana ow’omukazi omuddu yazaalibwa nga wa mubiri, naye omwana ow’omukazi ow’eddembe yazaalibwa lwa kusuubiza.
24 Ebyo biri nga bya lugero; kubanga ezo ndagaano bbiri. Emu yava ku Lusozi Sinaayi, ye yazaala abaana ab’obuddu, ye yava mu Agali. 25 Agali lwe Lusozi Sinaayi oluli mu Buwalabu, era afaananyirizibwa ne Yerusaalemi eya kaakano kubanga ye ne bazzukulu be bali mu buddu. 26 (P)Naye Yerusaalemi eky’omu ggulu ye mukazi ow’eddembe, era ye nnyaffe. 27 (Q)Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti,
“Sanyuka
ggwe omugumba atazaala.
Leekaanira waggulu mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka
newaakubadde nga tozaalanga ku mwana.
Kubanga ndikuwa abaana bangi,
abaana abangi okusinga omukazi alina omusajja b’alina.”
28 Naye mmwe abooluganda muli baana abaasuubizibwa, nga Isaaka bwe yali. 29 (R)Naye mu biro biri ng’eyazaalibwa omubiri bwe yayigganya oyo eyazaalibwa Omwoyo, ne kaakano bwe kiri. 30 (S)Naye Ebyawandiikibwa bigamba bitya? Bigamba nti, “Goba omukazi omuddu n’omwana we, kubanga omwana w’omukazi omuddu talisikira wamu n’omwana w’omukazi ow’eddembe.” 31 Noolwekyo abooluganda tetuli baana ba mukazi omuddu naye tuli baana ab’omukazi ow’eddembe.
Galatians 4
New International Version
Galatians 4
New International Version
4 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery(A) under the elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world.(B) 4 But when the set time had fully come,(C) God sent his Son,(D) born of a woman,(E) born under the law,(F) 5 to redeem(G) those under the law, that we might receive adoption(H) to sonship.[b](I) 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son(J) into our hearts,(K) the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,[c] Father.”(L) 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.(M)
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8 Formerly, when you did not know God,(N) you were slaves(O) to those who by nature are not gods.(P) 9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God(Q)—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces[d]? Do you wish to be enslaved(R) by them all over again?(S) 10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!(T) 11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.(U)
12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters,(V) become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong. 13 As you know, it was because of an illness(W) that I first preached the gospel to you, 14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.(X) 15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?(Y)
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.(Z) 18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.(AA) 19 My dear children,(AB) for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,(AC) 20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
Hagar and Sarah
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law,(AD) are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman(AE) and the other by the free woman.(AF) 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh,(AG) but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.(AH)
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above(AI) is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:
“Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”[e](AJ)
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.(AK) 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh(AL) persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit.(AM) It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”[f](AN) 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman,(AO) but of the free woman.(AP)
