Galatians 3

Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
1ʻAe kau Kalētia vale, ko hai kuo ne fakamatavalea ʻakimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mou talangofua ki he moʻoni, ʻakimoutolu naʻe fakahā tautonu ʻi homou ʻao ʻa Sisu Kalaisi mo hono tutuki ki he ʻakau?
2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
2Ko e meʻa ni pe ʻoku ou fie ʻilo ʻiate kimoutolu, naʻa mou maʻu ʻae Laumālie ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono, pe ʻi he fanongo ʻi he tui?
3Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
3ʻOku pehē koā hoʻomou vale? Kuo mou kamata ʻi he Laumālie, pea kuo fakahaohaoa eni ʻakimoutolu ʻe he kakano?
4Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
4Kuo mou kātaki taʻeʻaonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi? ʻO kapau ʻoku kei taʻeʻaonga.
5Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
5Ko ia ia kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae Laumālie, ʻo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ne fai ia ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono, pe ʻi he fanongo ʻi he tui?
6So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
6ʻO hangē ko e tui ʻa ʻEpalahame, ki he ʻOtua, “Pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia ko e māʻoniʻoni.”
7Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
7Ko ia ke mou ʻilo ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he tui, ko e fānau ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻEpalahame.
8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
8Pea ʻi he tomuʻa ʻilo ʻe he tohi, ʻe fakatonuhia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae Senitaile ʻi he tui, naʻe malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻi muʻa kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne pehē , “ʻE monūʻia ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.”
9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
9Ko ia ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he tui, ʻoku tāpuekina fakataha mo ʻEpalahame angatonu.
10All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
10He ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono, ʻoku moʻulaloa ʻi he malaʻia: he kuo tohi, “ʻOku malaʻia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tuʻumaʻu aipē ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ke fai ia.”
11Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
11Ka ʻoku ha māhina mai, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe fakatonuhia ʻe he fono ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua: koeʻuhi, “ʻE moʻui ʻae tonuhia ʻi he tui.”
12The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
12Pea ʻoku ʻikai mei he tui ʻae fono: ka, “Ko ia ia ʻoku ne fai ia ʻe moʻui ai.”
13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
13Naʻe huhuʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe Kalaisi mei he malaʻia ʻoe fono, ko ʻene hoko ko e malaʻia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu: he kuo tohi, “ʻOku malaʻia kotoa pē ʻoku tautau ki he ʻakau:”
14He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
14Koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻae tāpuaki ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he kakai Senitaile foki ʻia Sisu Kalaisi; pea ke maʻu ʻekitautolu ʻae talaʻofa ki he Laumālie ʻi he tui.
15Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
15E kāinga, ʻoku ou lea ʻo taau pe mo e tangata; Kapau ko e fefuakavaʻaki ʻae tangata pe, ka kuo maʻu ia, ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe fakataʻeʻaonga ia, pe fakalahi ki ai.
16The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
16Ko eni, naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa kia ʻEpalahame mo hono hako. ʻOku ʻikai pehē ʻe ia, Pea ki he “ngaahi hako,” ʻo hangē ko e meʻa ʻi he tokolahi; kae hangē ko e meʻa ʻi he tokotaha pe, Pea ki ho “hako,” pea ko Kalaisi ia.
17What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.
17Pea ko ʻeku lea eni, ko e fuakava ʻia Kalaisi, naʻe fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻi muʻa ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he fono ke fakaʻikaiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻae talaʻofa, he naʻe ki mui ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofulu.
18For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
18He kapau ʻoku mei he fono ʻae tofiʻa, ʻoku ʻikai ai ʻi he talaʻofa: ka naʻe foaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame ʻi he talaʻofa.
19Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.
19Pea tā koeʻumaʻā ʻae fono? Naʻe fakalahi ʻaki ia ko e meʻa ʻi he angahala, kaeʻoua ke hoko e talaʻofa; pea naʻe tauhi ia ʻe he kau ʻāngelo ki he nima ʻoe fakalaloa.
20A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
20Ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fakalaloa, koeʻuhi ko e tokotaha pe, ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae ʻOtua.
21Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
21Pea ka ko ia, pea ʻoku kau kehe ʻae fono mo e ngaahi talaʻofa ʻae ʻOtua? ʻIkai ʻaupito: he ka ne fokotuʻu ha fono ʻe faʻa foaki ʻae moʻui, pehē ʻe hoko moʻoni ʻae fakatonuhia ʻi he fono ko ia.
22But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
22Ka ʻoku fakahā ʻe he tohi kuo moʻulaloa kotoa pē ki he angahala, koeʻuhi ke foaki ai ʻae talaʻofa ʻi he tui, kia Sisu Kalaisi kiate kitautolu ʻoku tui.
23Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
23Ka ʻi he teʻeki hoko mai ʻae tui, naʻe moʻua ʻakitautolu ʻo moʻulaloa ʻi he fono, ʻo moʻua ki he tui ʻaia ʻe toki fakahā ʻamui.
24So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
24Pea ko ia ko hotau takiakiʻi ʻae fono kia Kalaisi, koeʻuhi ke fakatonuhia ʻakitautolu ʻe he tui.
25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
25Kae hili ʻae hoko mai ʻoe tui, ʻoku ʻikai te tau kei moʻulaloa ki ha takiaki.
26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
26He ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻi he tui kia Kalaisi Sisu.
27For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
27He ko kimoutolu kotoa pē kuo papitaiso kia Kalaisi, kuo mou ʻai ʻa Kalaisi.
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
28Pea ʻoku ʻikai ai ha Siu pe Kiliki, ʻoku ʻikai ha pōpula pe ha tauʻatāina, ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata pe ha fefine: ka ʻoku mou taha pe kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
29Pea kapau ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, pea ta koe hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu, pea koe fānau hoko ʻo fakatatau mo e talaʻofa.
