Rumaysad Baa Lagu Noqdaa Carruurta Ilaah

Laakiin waxaan leeyahay, Inta midka dhaxalka lahu ilmo yar yahay, waxba kama duwana addoon in kastuu yahay sayidka wax walba, laakiinse wuxuu ka hooseeyaa kuwa ilaaliya iyo wakiillo ilaa maalintii aabbihiis ka ballamay. Sidaas oo kale innagu markaynu carruur ahayn, waxaa ina addoonsan jiray waxyaalaha aasaaska ah ee dunida; laakiinse markii wakhtigii buuxsamay, Ilaah wuxuu soo diray Wiilkiisii, isagoo naag ka dhashay oo sharciga ku hoos dhashay, inuu furto kuwii sharciga ku hoos jiray inuu carruurtiis inaga dhigo. Oo wiilashiisa aad tihiin daraaddeed ayaa Ilaah u soo diray Ruuxa Wiilkiisa qalbiyadeenna dhexdooda, isagoo dhawaaqaya oo leh, Aabbow. Saasaadan mar dambe addoon u ahayn, laakiinse waxaad tahay wiilkiisa, oo haddaad wiilkiisa tahay, waxaadna tahay mid dhaxal leh xagga Ilaah.

Dibunoqoshada Waa Laga Digay

Laakiinse markii aydnaan Ilaah garanayn, waxaad addoommo u ahaydeen kuwo aan ilaahyo ahayn xagga dabiicadda. Laakiin haatan idinkoo Ilaah gartay ama Ilaah idin gartay, sidee baad mar kale ugu noqotaan waxyaalaha aasaaska oo miskiinnimada ah, tabartana daran, kuwa aad jeceshihiin inaad mar kale addoommo u noqotaan?

10 Waxaad dhawrtaan maalmo, iyo bilo, iyo xilliyo, iyo sannado. 11 Waxaan ka baqayaa inaan waxtarla'aan idinkugu hawshooday.

12 Waxaan idinka baryayaa, walaalayaalow, inaad noqotaan sida aan ahay, waayo, anba waxaan ahay sida aad tihiin. Waxba iguma aydnaan xumayn. 13 Laakiin waad og tihiin in itaaldarrada jidhka aawadeed aan markii ugu horraysay injiilka idinku wacdiyey. 14 Waxa ku saabsan jidhkayga oo idin jirrabay ma aydnaan quudhsan, mana aydnaan nicin, laakiin waxaad ii aqbasheen sidii malaa'ig Ilaah, xataa sidii Ciise Masiix. 15 Haddaba meeday farxaddiinnii? Waayo, waxaan idiinku markhaati furayaa inaad ii bixin lahaydeen indhihiinna oo aad i siin lahaydeen, hadday suurtowbi lahayd. 16 Haddaba cadowgiinnii miyaan noqday runta aan idiin sheego aawadeed? 17 Aad bay idinku doondoonayaan si aan wanaagsanayn, laakiin waxay doonaan inay idinka kaayo xidhaan, si aad idinku iyaga u doondoontaan. 18 Waa wanaagsan tahay in aad loo doondoono wixii wanaagsan had iyo goorba, oo ayan ahayn markaan idinla joogo oo keliya. 19 Carruurtaydiiyey, mar kalaan idin foolanayaa ilaa Masiix idinku dhex abuurmo. 20 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan haatan idinla joogo oo aan codkayga beddelo, waayo, waan idinka shakiyayaa.

Labada Wiil

21 Kuwiinna doonaya inay sharciga ka hooseeyaanow, ii sheega. Sharciga miyeydnaan maqlin? 22 Waayo, waxaa qoran in Ibraahim laba wiil lahaa, kii uu addoonta ka dhalay iyo kii uu naagta xorta ah ka dhalay. 23 Laakiin kii addoontu xagga jidhkuu ka dhashay, naagta xorta ah keediise ballan buu ku dhashay. 24 Waxyaalahanu waa masaal, waayo, dumarkanu waxay ka dhigan yihiin laba axdi, mid Buur Siinay buu ka yimid isagoo u dhalaya addoonnimo, taasu waa Haagaar. 25 Haagaartanu waa Buur Siinay oo Carabiya ku taal, oo waxay ka dhigan tahay Yeruusaalemta haatan joogta; waayo, waa la addoonsaday iyada iyo carruurteedaba. 26 Laakiinse Yeruusaalemta sare waa xor, waana hooyadeen. 27 Waayo, waxaa qoran,

Faraxsanow, madhalaysta aan dhalinay;
Kala bax oo mashxarad, taada aan foolanay;
Waayo, tan cidlowday carruurteedu waa ka badan yihiin tan ninka leh kuweeda.

28 Innaguna, walaalayaalow, waxaynu nahay carruurtii ballanka sida Isxaaq oo kale. 29 Laakiin markaas kii jidhka ka dhashay wuxuu silciyey kii Ruuxa ka dhashay, haatanna waa sidaas oo kale. 30 Laakiin maxaa Qorniinku leeyahay? Addoonta iyo wiilkeedaba eri, waayo, wiilka addoontu dhaxal la wadaagi maayo wiilka naagta xorta ah. 31 Sidaas daraaddeed, walaalayaalow, innagu ma nihin addoon carruurteed, laakiinse waxaynu nahay naagta xorta ah carruurteed.

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. The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery(A) under the elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world.(B) But when the set time had fully come,(C) God sent his Son,(D) born of a woman,(E) born under the law,(F) to redeem(G) those under the law, that we might receive adoption(H) to sonship.[b](I) 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) 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

Formerly, when you did not know God,(N) you were slaves(O) to those who by nature are not gods.(P) 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)
