迦拉达书:Chapter 3

迦拉达书	Galatians
¹无知的迦拉达人啊！被钉在十字架上的耶稣基督，已活现地摆在你们眼前，谁又迷惑了你们呢？	¹How foolish you are, Galatians! How could they bewitch you after Jesus Christ has been presented to you as crucified?
²我只愿向你们请教这一点：你们领受了圣神，是由于遵行法律呢？还是由于听信福音呢？	²I shall ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by the practice of the Law, or by believing the message?
³你们竟这样无知吗？你们以圣神开始了，如今又愿以肉身结束吗？	³How can you be such fools: you begin with the Spirit and end up with the flesh!
⁴你们竟白白受了这么多的苦吗？果然是白白地吗？	⁴So you have experienced all this in vain! Would that it were not so!
⁵天主赐与你们圣神，并在你们中间施展了德能，是因为你们遵行法律呢？还是因为你们听信福音呢？	⁵Did God give you the Spirit and work miracles among you, because of your observance of the Law or because you believed in his message?
⁶经上这样记载说：「亚巴郎信了天主，天主就以此算为他的正义。」	⁶Remember Abraham: he believed God and because of this was held to be a just man.
⁷为此你们该晓得：具有信德的人，才是亚巴郎的子孙。	⁷Understand then that those who follow the way of faith are sons and daughters of Abraham.
⁸圣经预见天主将使异民凭信德成义，就向亚巴郎预报福音说：「万民都要因你获得祝福。」	⁸The Scriptures foresaw that by the way of faith, God would give true righteousness to the non-Jewish nations. For God's promise to Abraham was this: In you shall all the nations be blessed.
⁹可见那些具有信德的人，与有信德的亚巴郎同蒙祝福。	⁹So now those who take the way of faith receive the same blessing as Abraham who believed;
¹⁰反之，凡是依恃遵行法律的，都应受咒骂，因为经上记载说：「凡不持守律书上所记载的一切，而依照遵行的，是可咒骂的。」	¹⁰but those who rely on the practice of the Law are under a curse, for it is written: Cursed is everyone who does not always fulfill everything written in the Law.
¹¹所以很明显的，没有一个人能凭法律在天主前成义，因为经上说：「义人因信德而生活。」	¹¹It is plainly written that no one becomes righteous, in God's way, by the Law: by faith the righteous shall live.
¹²但是法律并非以信德为本，只说：「遵行法令的，必因此获得生命。」	¹²Yet the Law gives no place to faith, for according to it: the one who fulfills the commandments shall have life through them.
¹³但基督由法律的咒骂中赎出了我们，为我们成了可咒骂的，因为经上记载说：「凡被悬在木架上的，是可咒骂的。」	¹³Now Christ rescued us from the curse of the Law by becoming cursed himself for our sake, as it is written: there is a curse on everyone who is hanged on a tree.
¹⁴这样天主使亚巴郎所蒙受的祝福，在基督耶稣内普及于万民，并使我们能藉着信德领受所应许的圣神。	¹⁴So the blessing granted to Abraham reached the pagan nations in and with Christ, and we received the promised Spirit through faith.
¹⁵弟兄们！就常规来说：连人的遗嘱，如果是正式成立的，谁也不得废除或增订。	¹⁵Brothers, listen to this comparison. When anyone has made his will in the prescribed form, no one can annul it or add anything to it.
¹⁶那么，恩许是向亚巴郎和他的后裔所许诺的，并没有说「后裔们」，好像是向许多人说的，而是向一个人，即「你的后裔」，就是指基督。	¹⁶Well now, what God promised Abraham was for his descendant. Scripture does not say: for the descendants, as if they were many. It means only one: this will be for your descendant, and this is Christ.
¹⁷我是说：天主先前所正式立定的誓约，决不能为四百三十年以后成立的法律所废除，以致使恩许失效。	¹⁷Now I say this: if God has made a testament in due form, it cannot be annulled by the Law which came four hundred and thirty years later; God's promise cannot be cancelled.
¹⁸如果承受产业是由于法律，就已不是由于恩许；但天主是由于恩许把产业赐给了亚巴郎。	¹⁸But if we now inherit for keeping the law, it is not because of the promise. Yet that promise was God's gift to Abraham.
¹⁹那么，为什么还有法律呢？它是为显露过犯而添设的，等他所恩许的后裔来到，它原是藉着天使，经过中人的手而立定的。	¹⁹Why then the Law? It was added with sin in mind; it was something added; that it was only valid until the descendant to whom the promise was addressed should come; and it was put into effect by the angels with Moses as a mediator
²⁰可是如果出于单方，就不需要中人了，而天主是由单方赐与了恩许。	²⁰between them: if it were given by God himself, he is one.
²¹那么，法律相反天主的恩许吗？绝对不是。如果所立定的法律能赐与人生命，正义就的确是出于法律了。	²¹Does the Law then compete with the promises of God? Not at all. Only if we had been given a Law capable of raising life, could righteousness be the fruit of the Law.
²²但是圣经说过：一切人都被禁锢在罪恶权下，好使恩许藉着对基督耶稣的信仰，归于相信的人。	²²But the written Law actually closed out every viewpoint other than that of sin. So the believers receive the promise as the fruit of Christian faith.
²³在「信仰」尚未来到以前，我们都被禁锢在法律的监守之下，以期待「信仰」的出现。	²³Before the time of faith had come, the Law confined us and kept us in custody until the time in which faith would show up.
²⁴这样，法律就成了我们的启蒙师，领我们归于基督，好使我们由于信仰而成义。	²⁴The Law then brought us to Christ as a child to his master, so that we be set right with God through faith.
²⁵但是「信仰」一到，我们就不再处于启蒙师权下了。	²⁵With the coming of faith, we are no longer submitted to this guidance.
²⁶其实你们众人都藉着对基督耶稣的信仰，成了天主的子女。	²⁶Now, in Christ Jesus, all of you are sons and daughters of God through faith.
²⁷因为你们凡是领了洗归于基督的，就是穿上了基督：	²⁷All of you who were given to Christ through baptism, have put on Christ.
²⁸不再分犹太人或希腊人，奴隶或自由人，男人或女人，因为你们众人在基督耶稣内已成了一个。	²⁸Here there is no longer any difference between Jew or Greek, or between slave or freed, or between man and woman: but all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
²⁹如果你们属于基督，那么，你们就是亚巴郎的后裔，就是按照恩许作承继的人。	²⁹And because you belong to Christ, you are of Abraham's race and you are to inherit God's promise.
