加拉太書 3

無知的加拉太人哪，耶穌基督釘十字架，已經活畫在你們眼前，誰又迷惑了你們呢？

wú zhī de jiā lā tài rén nǎ ， yē sū jī dū dīng shí zì jià ， yǐ jīng huó huà zài nǐ men yǎn qián ， shuí yòu mí huò le nǐ men ne ？

Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified?

我只要問你們這一件：你們受了聖靈，是因行律法呢？是因聽信福音呢？

wǒ zhǐ yào wèn nǐ men zhè yí jiàn ： nǐ men shòu le shèng líng ， shì yīn xíng lǜ fǎ ne ？ shì yīn tīng xìn fú yīn ne ？

I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

你們既靠聖靈入門，如今還靠肉身成全嗎？你們是這樣的無知嗎？

nǐ men jì kào shèng líng rù mén ， rú jīn hái kào ròu shēn chéng quán ma ？ nǐ men shì zhè yàng de wú zhī ma ？

Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

你們受苦如此之多，都是徒然的嗎？難道果真是徒然的嗎？

nǐ men shòu kǔ rú cǐ zhī duō ， dōu shì tú rán de ma ？ nán dào guǒ zhēn shì tú rán de ma ？

Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

那賜給你們聖靈，又在你們中間行異能的，是因你們行律法呢？是因你們聽信福音呢？

nà cì gěi nǐ men shèng líng ， yòu zài nǐ men zhōng jiān xíng yì néng de ， shì yīn nǐ men xíng lǜ fǎ ne ？ shì yīn nǐ men tīng xìn fú yīn ne ？

He 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?

正如「亞伯拉罕信上帝，這就算為他的義」。

zhèng rú 「 yà bó lā hǎn xìn shén ， zhè jiù suàn wèi tā de yì 」。

Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

所以，你們要知道：那以信為本的人，就是亞伯拉罕的子孫。

suǒ yǐ ， nǐ men yào zhī dào ： nà yǐ xìn wèi běn de rén ， jiù shì yà bó lā hǎn de zǐ sūn 。

Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.

並且聖經既然預先看明，上帝要叫外邦人因信稱義，就早已傳福音給亞伯拉罕，說：「萬國都必因你得福。」

bìng qiě shèng jīng jì rán yù xiān kàn míng ， shén yào jiào wài bāng rén yīn xìn chēng yì ， jiù zǎo yǐ chuán fú yīn gěi yà bó lā hǎn ， shuō ：「 wàn guó dōu bì yīn nǐ dé fú 。」

The 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.”

可見那以信為本的人和有信心的亞伯拉罕一同得福。

kě jiàn nà yǐ xìn wèi běn de rén hé yǒu xìn xīn de yà bó lā hǎn yì tóng dé fú 。

So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

凡以行律法為本的，都是被咒詛的；因為經上記着：「凡不常照律法書上所記一切之事去行的，就被咒詛。」

fán yǐ xíng lǜ fǎ wèi běn de ， dōu shì bèi zhòu zǔ de ； yīn wèi jīng shàng jì zhe ：「 fán bù cháng zhào lǜ fǎ shū shàng suǒ jì yí qiè zhī shì qù xíng de ， jiù bèi zhòu zǔ 。」

For 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.”

沒有一個人靠着律法在上帝面前稱義，這是明顯的；因為經上說：「義人必因信得生。」

méi yǒu yí gè rén kào zhe lǜ fǎ zài shén miàn qián chēng yì ， zhè shì míng xiǎn de ； yīn wèi jīng shàng shuō ：「 yì rén bì yīn xìn dé shēng 。」

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

律法原不本乎信，只說：「行這些事的，就必因此活着。」

lǜ fǎ yuán bù běn hū xìn ， zhī shuō ：「 xíng zhè xiē shì de ， jiù bì yīn cǐ huó zhe 。」

The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”

基督既為我們受 了咒詛，就贖出我們脫離律法的咒詛；因為經上記着：「凡掛在木頭上都是被咒詛的。」

jī dū jì wèi wǒ men shòu liǎo zhòu zǔ ， jiù shú chū wǒ men tuō lí lǜ fǎ de zhòu zǔ ； yīn wèi jīng shàng jì zhe ：「 fán guà zài mù tou shàng dōu shì bèi zhòu zǔ de 。」

Christ 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,”

這便叫亞伯拉罕的福，因基督耶穌可以臨到外邦人，使我們因信得着所應許的聖靈。

zhè biàn jiào yà bó lā hǎn de fú ， yīn jī dū yē sū kě yǐ lín dào wài bāng rén ， shǐ wǒ men yīn xìn dé zhe suǒ yīng xǔ de shèng líng 。

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

弟兄們，我且照着人的常話說：雖然是人的文約，若已經立定了，就沒有能廢棄或加增的。

dì xiong men ， wǒ qiě zhào zhe rén de cháng huà shuō ： suī rán shì rén de wén yuē ， ruò yǐ jīng lì dìng le ， jiù méi yǒu néng fèi qì huò jiā zēng de 。

Brothers, 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.

所應許的原是向亞伯拉罕和他子孫說的。上帝並不是說「眾子孫」，指着許多人，乃是說「你那一個子孫」，指着一個人，就是基督。

suǒ yīng xǔ de yuán shì xiàng yà bó lā hǎn hé tā zǐ sūn shuō de 。 shén bìng bú shì shuō 「 zhòng zǐ sūn 」， zhǐ zhe xǔ duō rén ， nǎi shì shuō 「 nǐ nà yí gè zi sūn 」， zhǐ zhe yí gè rén ， jiù shì jī dū 。

Now 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.

我是這麼說，上帝預先所立的約，不能被那四百三十年以後的律法廢掉，叫應許歸於虛空。

wǒ shì zhè me shuō ， shén yù xiān suǒ lì de yuē ， bù néng bèi nà sì bǎi sān shí nián yǐ hòu de lǜ fǎ fèi diào ， jiào yīng xǔ guī yú xū kōng 。

Now 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.

因為承受產業，若本乎律法，就不本乎應許；但上帝是憑着應許把產業賜給亞伯拉罕。

yīn wèi chéng shòu chǎn yè ， ruò běn hū lǜ fǎ ， jiù bù běn hū yīng xǔ ； dàn shén shì píng zhe yīng xǔ bǎ chǎn yè cì gěi yà bó lā hǎn 。

For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

這樣說來，律法是為甚麼有的呢？原是為過犯添上的，等候那蒙應許的子孫來到，並且是藉天使經中保之手設立的。

zhè yàng shuō lái ， lǜ fǎ shì wèi shén me yǒu de ne ？ yuán shì wèi guò fàn tiān shàng de ， děng hòu nà méng yīng xǔ de zǐ sūn lái dào ， bìng qiě shì jiè tiān shǐ jīng zhōng bǎo zhī shǒu shè lì de 。

Then 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.

但中保本不是為一面作的；上帝卻是一位。

dàn zhōng bǎo běn bú shì wèi yí miàn zuò de ； shén què shì yí wèi 。

Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

這樣，律法是與上帝的應許反對嗎？斷乎不是！若曾傳一個能叫人得生的律法，義就誠然本乎律法了。

zhè yàng ， lǜ fǎ shì yǔ shén de yīng xǔ fǎn duì ma ？ duàn hū bú shì ！ ruò céng chuán yí gè néng jiào rén dé shēng de lǜ fǎ ， yì jiù chéng rán běn hū lǜ fǎ le 。

Is 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.

但聖經把眾人都圈在罪裏，使所應許的福因信耶穌基督，歸給那信的人。

dàn shèng jīng bǎ zhòng rén dōu quān zài zuì lǐ ， shǐ suǒ yīng xǔ de fú yīn xìn yē sū jī dū ， guī gěi nà xìn de rén 。

But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

但這因信得救的理還未來以先，我們被看守在律法之下，直圈到那將來的真道顯明出來。

dàn zhè yīn xìn dé jiù de lǐ hái wèi lái yǐ xiān ， wǒ men bèi kān shǒu zài lǜ fǎ zhī xià ， zhí quān dào nà jiāng lái de zhēn dào xiǎn míng chū lái 。

But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

這樣，律法是我們訓蒙的師傅，引我們到基督那裏，使我們因信稱義。

zhè yàng ， lǜ fǎ shì wǒ men xùn méng de shī fu ， yǐn wǒ men dào jī dū nà lǐ ， shǐ wǒ men yīn xìn chēng yì 。

So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

但這因信得救的理既然來到，我們從此就不在師傅的手下了。

dàn zhè yīn xìn dé jiù de lǐ jì rán lái dào ， wǒ men cóng cǐ jiù bú zài shī fu de shǒu xià le 。

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

所以，你們因信基督耶穌都是上帝的兒子。

suǒ yǐ ， nǐ men yīn xìn jī dū yē sū dōu shì shén de ér zi 。

For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

你們受洗歸入基督的都是披戴基督了。

nǐ men shòu xǐ guī rù jī dū de dōu shì pī dài jī dū le 。

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

並不分猶太人、希臘人，自主的、為奴的，或男或女，因為你們在基督耶穌裏都成為一了。

bìng bù fēn yóu tài rén 、 xī là rén ， zì zhǔ de 、 wèi nú de ， huò nán huò nǚ ， yīn wèi nǐ men zài jī dū yē sū lǐ dōu chéng wéi yī le 。

There 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.

你們既屬乎基督，就是亞伯拉罕的後裔，是照着應許承受產業的了。

nǐ men jì shǔ hū jī dū ， jiù shì yà bó lā hǎn de hòu yì ， shì zhào zhe yīng xǔ chéng shòu chǎn yè de le 。

If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
