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?
1O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?
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?
2This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3ʻOku pehē koā hoʻomou vale? Kuo mou kamata ʻi he Laumālie, pea kuo fakahaohaoa eni ʻakimoutolu ʻe he kakano?
3Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
4Kuo mou kātaki taʻeʻaonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi? ʻO kapau ʻoku kei taʻeʻaonga.
4Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
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?
5He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you; doth he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?
6ʻO hangē ko e tui ʻa ʻEpalahame, ki he ʻOtua, “Pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia ko e māʻoniʻoni.”
6As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
7Ko ia ke mou ʻilo ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he tui, ko e fānau ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻEpalahame.
7Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
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.”
8And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9Ko ia ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he tui, ʻoku tāpuekina fakataha mo ʻEpalahame angatonu.
9Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
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.”
10For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one, that abideth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law to do them.
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.”
11But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
12Pea ʻoku ʻikai mei he tui ʻae fono: ka, “Ko ia ia ʻoku ne fai ia ʻe moʻui ai.”
12But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.
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:”
13Christ 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:
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.
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
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.
15Brethren (I speak after the manner of man,) yet a man’s testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth, nor addeth to it.
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.
16To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
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.
17Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.
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.
18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
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.
19Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20Ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fakalaloa, koeʻuhi ko e tokotaha pe, ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae ʻOtua.
20Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
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.
21Was the law then against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.
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.
22But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
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.
23But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
24Pea ko ia ko hotau takiakiʻi ʻae fono kia Kalaisi, koeʻuhi ke fakatonuhia ʻakitautolu ʻe he tui.
24Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25Kae hili ʻae hoko mai ʻoe tui, ʻoku ʻikai te tau kei moʻulaloa ki ha takiaki.
25But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
26He ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻi he tui kia Kalaisi Sisu.
26For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
27He ko kimoutolu kotoa pē kuo papitaiso kia Kalaisi, kuo mou ʻai ʻa Kalaisi.
27For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.
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.
28There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29Pea kapau ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, pea ta koe hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu, pea koe fānau hoko ʻo fakatatau mo e talaʻofa.
29And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
