Nkhawa ya Paulo chifukwa cha Agalatiya
8Koma poyamba pamene simunkamudziwa Mulungu, munali akapolo a zimene mwachilengedwe si milungu. 9Koma tsopano pakuti mukumudziwa Mulungu, kapena ndinene kuti Mulungu akukudziwani, nʼchifukwa chiyani mukubwereranso ku miyambo yofowoka ndi yomvetsa chisoni? Kodi mukufuna musandukenso akapolo? 10Mumasunga masiku, miyezi ndi nyengo ndi zaka. 11Ine ndikuopa kuti mwina ntchito zanga pa inu ndinagwira pachabe.
12Abale, ndikukudandaulirani, mukhale ngati ine, popeza ine ndinakhala ngati inu. Inu simunandilakwire. 13Monga inu mukudziwa ndinkakulalikirani Uthenga Wabwino ndili wofowoka. 14Ngakhale kuti matendawo anali ngati mayesero kwa inu, simunandinyoze kapena kunyansidwa nane. Komatu inu munandilandira ngati kuti ndinali mngelo wa Mulungu, ngati kuti ndinali Khristu Yesu mwini. 15Kodi chimwemwe chanu chonse chija chili kuti?

21Tandiwuzani, inu, abale amene mukufuna kukhala pansi pa lamulo, kodi simukudziwa chimene lamulo limanena? 22Pakuti zinalembedwa kuti Abrahamu anali ndi ana aamuna awiri, wina mayi wake anali kapolo ndipo wina mayi wake anali mfulu. 23Mwana wake wobadwa mwa kapolo anabadwa mwathupi; koma mwana wake wobadwa mwa mfulu anabadwa monga mwa lonjezo.
24Zinthu izi zinali ngati fanizo, pakuti amayi awiriwa akuyimira mapangano awiri. Pangano limodzi ndi lochokera mʼPhiri la Sinai, ndiye Hagara, ndipo amabereka ana amene ndi akapolo. 25Tsono Hagara, akuyimira Phiri la Sinai ku Arabiya amene afanizidwa ndi mzinda wa Yerusalemu wa lero, chifukwa ali mu ukapolo pamodzi ndi ana ake. 26Koma Yerusalemu wakumwamba ndiye mfulu, ndipo ndiye mayi wathu. 27Pakuti kwalembedwa kuti,
“Sangalala, iwe mayi wosabala,
amene sunabalepo mwana;
imba nthungululu ndi kufuwula mwachimwemwe,
iwe amene sunamvepo ululu wa pobereka;
chifukwa mkazi wosiyidwa adzakhala ndi ana ambiri
kuposa mkazi wokwatiwa.”
28Tsono inu abale, ndinu ana alonjezo ngati Isake. 29Nthawi imeneyo mwana wobadwa mwathupi anazunza mwana wobadwa mwamphamvu za Mzimu. Zili chimodzimodzinso lero. 30Kodi Malemba akuti chiyani? “Muchotse kapoloyo pamodzi ndi mwana wake, chifukwa mwana wa kapolo sadzagawana chuma ndi mwana wamfulu.” 31Chifukwa chake, abale, ife sindife ana akapolo, koma ana a mfulu.
