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?
1Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified?
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?
2I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by 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? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
4Kuo mou kātaki taʻeʻaonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi? ʻO kapau ʻoku kei taʻeʻaonga.
4Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed 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 supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
6ʻO hangē ko e tui ʻa ʻEpalahame, ki he ʻOtua, “Pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia ko e māʻoniʻoni.”
6Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
7Ko ia ke mou ʻilo ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he tui, ko e fānau ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻEpalahame.
7Know therefore that those who are of faith are 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.”
8The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
9Ko ia ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he tui, ʻoku tāpuekina fakataha mo ʻEpalahame angatonu.
9So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the 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 everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that 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.”
11Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
12Pea ʻoku ʻikai mei he tui ʻae fono: ka, “Ko ia ia ʻoku ne fai ia ʻe moʻui ai.”
12The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by 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 redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs 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 might receive the promise of the Spirit through 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.
15Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds 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.
16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, 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 I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as 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 is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted 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.
19Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by 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 between 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.
21Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of 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 imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who 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 faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24Pea ko ia ko hotau takiakiʻi ʻae fono kia Kalaisi, koeʻuhi ke fakatonuhia ʻakitautolu ʻe he tui.
24So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to 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 now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26He ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻi he tui kia Kalaisi Sisu.
26For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
27He ko kimoutolu kotoa pē kuo papitaiso kia Kalaisi, kuo mou ʻai ʻa Kalaisi.
27For as many of you as were baptized into 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 slave nor free man, 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.
29If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
