3 Awu nine baseGalathiya leningenangcondvo, ngubani loloniyenge kangaka?+ Ngobe ekucaleni nacaciselwa kahle kutsi Jesu Khristu wabetselwa elugodvweni.+
2 Asenginibute* naku: Umoya nawemukela ngekwenta imisebenti lefunwa ngumtsetfo yini nobe ngekukholwa loko lenakuva?+
3 Kantsi aninangcondvo ngaleyondlela? Njengobe nacale nahamba endleleni yemoya,* nyalo senifuna kuhamba endleleni yenyama yini?*+
4 Letinhlupheko letinyenti lenahlangabetana nato betilite yini? Ngiyaciniseka kutsi betingasilo lite.
5 Ngako-ke, loyo loninika umoya futsi ente nemisebenti yemandla+ emkhatsini wenu, ukwenta ngenca yekutsi nenta imisebenti lefunwa ngumtsetfo yini, nobe ukwenta ngenca yekukholwa leninako kuloko lenakuva?
6 Ngobe na-Abrahama “wakholwa kuJehova,* ngako kwatsiwa ulungile.”+
7 Ecinisweni niyati kutsi labo labanekukholwa ngibo labangemadvodzana a-Abrahama.+
8 Umbhalo wakuveta kadzeni kutsi Nkulunkulu bekatawutsi bantfu betive balungile ngenca yekukholwa, ngako wamemetela letindzaba letimnandzi ku-Abrahama kusukela ekucaleni, watsi: “Tonkhe tive titawubusiswa ngawe.”+
9 Ngaleso sizatfu, labo labanekukholwa bayabusiswa njengobe na-Abrahama lobekanekukholwa abusiswa.+
10 Bonkhe labetsembele emisebentini lefunwa ngumtsetfo bacalekisiwe, njengobe kubhaliwe kwatsiwa: “Ucalekisiwe umuntfu longatenti tonkhe tintfo letibhalwe emculwini weMtsetfo futsi longatigcini.”+
11 Ngetulu kwaloko, kuyacaca kutsi kute lokutsiwa ulungile kuNkulunkulu ngenca yemtsetfo,+ ngobe “lolungile utawuphila ngenca yekukholwa.”+
12 UMtsetfo awukasekelwa ekukholweni. Ngobe kubhaliwe kwatsiwa: “Loyo logcina lokuseMtsetfweni utawuphila ngenca yako.”+
13 Khristu wasitsenga,+ wasikhulula+ ekucalekisweni nguMtsetfo ngekutsi acalekiswe esikhundleni setfu, ngobe kubhaliwe kwatsiwa: “Ucalekisiwe wonkhe umuntfu lolengiswa elugodvweni.”+
14 Loku kwenteka kuze sibusiso lesetsenjiswa Abrahama sifike etiveni ngaKhristu Jesu,+ khona ngekukholwa kwetfu sitotfola umoya lowetsenjisiwe.+
15 Bazalwane, asenginibekisele ngentfo levamile: Nangabe sivumelwane sesicinisekisiwe, ngisho nobe sicinisekiswe ngumuntfu, kute losephulako nobe engete lokutsite kuso.
16 Letetsembiso tashiwo ku-Abrahama nasentalelwaneni*+ yakhe. Akushiwo kutsi: “Nasetintalelwaneni,”* lokusho letinyenti, kodvwa kushiwo yinye nakutsiwa: “Nasentalelwaneni* yakho,” lenguKhristu.+
17 Ngetulu kwaloko ngitsi: UMtsetfo lowaba khona eminyakeni lengu-430 ngemuva kwaloko,+ awenti kutsi sivumelwane Nkulunkulu lasenta singasasebenti, futsi awusicedzi leso setsembiso.
18 Ngobe nangabe lifa lisekelwe emtsetfweni, kusho kutsi alisasekelwanga esetsembisweni; kantsi ngemusa, Nkulunkulu ulinike Abrahama ngesetsembiso.+
19 Waba khona leni-ke uMtsetfo? Wengetelwa kuveta tiphambeko+ tebantfu, kuze kube ngulapho kufika intalelwane*+ lokwentiwa kuyo lesetsembiso; futsi loMtsetfo waletfwa tingilosi+ ngesandla semlamuli.+
20 Akabi khona umlamuli nangabe kungumuntfu munye lotsintsekako, kodvwa Nkulunkulu munye.
21 UMtsetfo uyaphikisana yini netetsembiso taNkulunkulu? Cha! Ngobe nangabe bekunemtsetfo lobewungaletsa kuphila, kusho kutsi kulunga bekutawuba khona ngenca yemtsetfo.
22 Kodvwa umBhalo wente tonkhe tintfo taba ngephansi kwesono, kuze setsembiso lesitfolakala ngekukholwa kuJesu Khristu sinikwe labo labanekukholwa.
23 Nanobe kunjalo, ngesikhatsi kusengakefiki kukholwa, besicondziswa ngumtsetfo futsi besingephansi kwawo, silindzele nekukholwa lobekutawembulwa.+
24 Ngako-ke uMtsetfo sewube ngumcondzisi* wetfu losiyisa kuKhristu,+ kuze kutsiwe silungile ngekukholwa kwetfu.+
25 Kepha njengobe kukholwa sekukhona,+ asisekho ngephansi kwemcondzisi.*+
26 Ecinisweni, nonkhe ningemadvodzana aNkulunkulu+ ngekukholwa kwenu kuKhristu Jesu.+
27 Ngobe nonkhe nine lenabhajatiselwa kuKhristu, senembetse Khristu.+
28 Sekute umJuda nobe umGriki,+ sekute sigcili nobe lokhululekile,+ futsi sekute lomdvuna nobe lomsikati;+ ngobe nonkhe senimunye ebunyeni naKhristu Jesu.+
29 Ngetulu kwaloko, nangabe nibaKhristu, ningiyo mbamba intalelwane* ya-Abrahama,+ futsi nitawutfola lifa+ njengobe nje Nkulunkulu etsembisa.+
