The Law and Faith in Christ

Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross.

1

Ой ви безумні Галати! хто вас очарував, щоб ви не корились правдї, (ви) котрим перед очима наперед був прописаний Христос, розпятий між вами?

2

Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.

2

Про одно се хочу довідатись од вас: Чи дїлами закону прийняли ви Духа, чи, слухаючи, проповіддю віри?

3

How foolish can you be? After starting your new lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?

3

Чи такі ви незмислі, що почавши духом, звершуєте тепер тїлом?

4

Have you experienceda so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?

4

Марно стільки ви терпіли? Коли б тільки марно!

5

I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.

5

Хто подає вам Духа і робить чудеса між вами, чи дїлами закону, чи проповіддю віри?

6

In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”b

6

Яко ж Авраам вірував у Бога, і полїчено йому за праведність.

7

The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.

7

Знайте ж, що хто од віри, ті сини Авраамові.

8

What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.”c

8

І писаннє знаючи наперед, що Бог вірою оправдує поган, благовістило Авраамові: що в тобі благословлять ся всї народи.

9

So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.

9

Тим же хто од віри, ті благословенні із вірним Авраамом.

10

But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.”d

10

Которі ж од дїл закону, ті під клятьбою; писано бо: Проклят, хто не встоїть у всьому написаному в книзї закону, щоб робити те.

11

So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”e

11

А що нїхто законом не оправдуєть ся перед Богом, се явно, бо праведний вірою жив буде.

12

This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”f

12

Закон же не од віри, та которий чоловік робити ме те, жити ме в тому.

13

But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”g

13

Христос викупив нас од клятьби закону, ставшись за нас клятьбою, (писано бо: Проклят всяк, хто висить на дереві,)

14

Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promisedh Holy Spirit through faith.

14

щоб на поган благословеннє Авраамове прийшло в Христї Ісусї, щоб обітуваннє Духа прийняли ми через віру.

15

The Law and God’s Promise

Dear brothers and sisters,i here’s an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or amend an irrevocable agreement, so it is in this case.

15

Браттє, по чоловічи глаголю; одначе чоловічого закону ствердженого нїхто не відкидає, анї додає до него.

16

God gave the promises to Abraham and his child.j And notice that the Scripture doesn’t say “to his children,k” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child” — and that, of course, means Christ.

16

Авраамові ж виречені обітування і насїнню його. Не сказано: І насїнням, яко про многі, а яко про одно: І насїнню твоєму, що єсть Христос.

17

This is what I am trying to say: The agreement God made with Abraham could not be canceled 430 years later when God gave the law to Moses. God would be breaking his promise.

17

Оце ж глаголю, що завіту перше ствердженого від Бога про Христа, закон, що постав чотириста й трийцять лїт потім, не нехтує, так щоб обернути в нїщо обітуваннє.

18

For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God’s promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise.

18

Бо коли від закону наслїддє, то вже не від обітування; Аврааму ж обітуваннєм дарував Бог.

19

Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.

19

Що ж тодї закон? Задля переступів додано його, доки прийде насїннє, котрому обітувано; (і був він) уряджений через ангелів рукою посередника.

20

Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham.

20

Посередник же не єсть (посередник) одного, а Бог один.

21

Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises?l Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.

21

То хиба закон проти обітувань Божих? Нехай не буде! Бо коли б дано закон, що міг би оживляти, то справдї від закону була б праведність.

22

But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.

22

Нї, зачинило писаннє усе під гріхом, щоб обітуваннє од віри Ісус-Христової дане було віруючим.

23

God’s Children through Faith

Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed.

23

Перше ж приходу віри, під законом стережено нас зачинених на віру, що мала відкритись.

24

Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith.

24

Тим же закон був нам учителем, (щоб привести нас) до Христа, щоб вірою нам оправдитись.

25

And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.

25

Як же прийшла віра, то вже ми не під учителем.

26

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

26

Усї бо ви сини Божі вірою в Ісуса Христа.

27

And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.n

27

Скільки бо вас у Христа хрестилось, у Христа одягли ся.

28

There is no longer Jew or Gentile,o slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

28

Нема Жидовина, нї Грека; нема невільника, нї вільного; нема мужеського полу, нї женського: усї бо ви одно, в Христї Ісусї.

29

And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true childrenp of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.

29

Коли ж ви Христові, то ви насїннє Авраамове, і по обітованню наслїдники.
