WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 You Galatians, you've lost your heads! Who has put you under a spell? The death of Jesus Christ on a cross was clearly presented to you so you could see!
1 ¡OH Gálatas insensatos! ¿quién os fascinó, para no obedecer á la verdad, ante cuyos ojos Jesucristo fué ya descrito [como] crucificado entre vosotros?
1 Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified?
2 So tell me—did you receive the Spirit by keeping the law, or by placing your trust in what you heard?
2 Esto solo quiero saber de vosotros: ¿Recibisteis el Espíritu por las obras de la ley, ó por el oir de la fe?
2 I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
3 You really have lost your heads! You began living in the Spirit. Do you really think you can now make yourselves perfect by your own human efforts?
3 ¿Tan necios sois? ¿habiendo comenzado por el Espíritu, ahora os perfeccionáis por la carne?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
4 Did you go through so much suffering for nothing? (It really wasn't for nothing was it?)
4 ¿Tantas cosas habéis padecido en vano? si empero en vano.
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
5 Let me ask you: does God give you the Spirit and do so many miracles among you because you keep the law, or is it because you trust in what you heard?
5 Aquel, pues, que os daba el Espíritu, y obraba maravillas entre vosotros ¿[hacíalo] por las obras de la ley, ó por el oir de la fe?
5 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?
6 It's just like Abraham who “trusted God, and was considered to be right.”
6 Como Abraham creyó á Dios, y le fué imputado á justicia.
6 Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
7 So you should acknowledge that those who trust in God are the children of Abraham.
7 Sabéis por tanto, que los que son de fe, los tales son hijos de Abraham.
7 Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.
8 In Scripture it was foreseen that God would make right the foreigners who trusted in him. The good news is revealed to Abraham beforehand with the words, “Through you all the nations will be blessed.”
8 Y viendo antes la Escritura que Dios por la fe había de justificar á los Gentiles, evangelizó antes á Abraham, [diciendo]: En ti serán benditas todas las naciones.
8 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.”
9 Consequently those who trust in God are blessed along with Abraham who trusted God.
9 Luego los de la fe son benditos con el creyente Abraham.
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
10 All those who rely on keeping the law are under a curse, for as Scripture says, “Cursed is everyone who doesn't carefully obey everything that's written in the book of the law.”
10 Porque todos los que son de las obras de la ley, están bajo de maldición. Porque escrito está: Maldito todo aquel que no permaneciere en todas las cosas que están escritas en el libro de la ley, para hacerlas.
10 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.”
11 Clearly nobody is made right with God by attempting to keep the law, for “Those who are made right will live by trusting God.”
11 Mas por cuanto por la ley ninguno se justifica para con Dios, queda manifiesto: Que el justo por la fe vivirá.
11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
12 Obedience to the law has nothing to do with trusting God. Scripture only says, “You will live if you observe everything the law requires.”
12 La ley también no es de la fe; sino, El hombre que los hiciere, vivirá en ellos.
12 The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
13 Christ has rescued us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. As Scripture says, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
13 Cristo nos redimió de la maldición de la ley, hecho por nosotros maldición; (porque está escrito: Maldito cualquiera que es colgado en madero:)
13 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,”
14 so that through Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham could come to the foreigners as well, and we could receive the promise of the Spirit by trusting God.
14 Para que la bendición de Abraham fuese sobre los Gentiles en Cristo Jesús; para que por la fe recibamos la promesa del Espíritu.
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 Brothers and sisters, here's an example from daily life. If a contract is drawn up and agreed, signed and sealed, nobody can ignore it or add to it.
15 Hermanos, hablo como hombre: Aunque un pacto sea de hombre, con todo, siendo confirmado, nadie lo cancela, ó le añade.
15 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.
16 Now the promises were given to Abraham, and to his son. It doesn't say, “sons” as if plural, but singular: “and to your son,” meaning Christ.
16 A Abraham fueron hechas las promesas, y á su simiente. No dice: Y á las simientes, como de muchos; sino como de uno: Y á tu simiente, la cual es Cristo.
16 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.
17 Let me explain. The law, coming four hundred and thirty years later, doesn't cancel the previous agreement that God made, breaking the promise.
17 Esto pues digo: Que el contrato confirmado de Dios para con Cristo, la ley que fué hecha cuatrocientos treinta años después, no lo abroga, para invalidar la promesa.
17 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.
18 If the inheritance is derived from obedience to the law, it no longer comes from the promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham by means of the promise.
18 Porque si la herencia es por la ley, ya no es por la promesa: empero Dios por la promesa hizo la donación á Abraham.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
19 What was the point of the law, then? It was added to show what wrongdoing really is, until the son came to whom the promise had been made. The law was put in place by angels through the hand of a mediator.
19 ¿Pues de qué [sirve] la ley? Fué puesta por causa de las rebeliones, hasta que viniese la simiente á quien fué hecha la promesa, ordenada [aquélla] por los ángeles en la mano de un mediador.
19 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.
20 But a mediator isn't needed when there's only one person involved. And God is one!
20 Y el mediador no es de uno, pero Dios es uno.
20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
21 So does the law work against God's promises? Of course not! For if there was a law that could give life, then we could be made right by keeping it.
21 ¿Luego la ley es contra las promesas de Dios? En ninguna manera: porque si la ley dada pudiera vivificar, la justicia fuera verdaderamente por la ley.
21 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.
22 But Scripture tells us that we all are prisoners of sin. The only way we can receive God's promises is by trusting in Jesus Christ.
22 Mas encerró la Escritura todo bajo pecado, para que la promesa fuese dada á los creyentes por la fe de Jesucristo.
22 But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 Before we trusted in Jesus we remained in the custody of the law until this way of trusting was revealed.
23 Empero antes que viniese la fe, estábamos guardados bajo la ley, encerrados para aquella fe que había de ser descubierta.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 The law was our guardian until Christ came, so that we could be made right by trusting him.
24 De manera que la ley nuestro ayo fué para [llevarnos] á Cristo, para que fuésemos justificados por la fe.
24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But now this way of trusting Jesus has come, we no longer need such a guardian.
25 Mas venida la fe, ya no estamos bajo ayo;
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26 For you are all God's children through your trust in Christ Jesus.
26 Porque todos sois hijos de Dios por la fe en Cristo Jesús.
26 For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
27 Porque todos los que habéis sido bautizados en Cristo, de Cristo estáis vestidos.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There's no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female—you are all one in Christ Jesus.
28 No hay Judío, ni Griego; no hay siervo, ni libre; no hay varón, ni hembra: porque todos vosotros sois uno en Cristo Jesús.
28 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.
29 If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's children, and you are heirs of the promise!
29 Y si vosotros sois de Cristo, ciertamente la simiente de Abraham sois, y conforme á la promesa los herederos.
29 If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.

It was added, until the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a Mediator." For the order of the words runs thus: "Wherefore then the law of works?

… ye are not so minded, our fathers thought it necessary by these boards to wall you off; since I hear from the elder ones, that of old there were not so much as these partitions; "For in Christ Jesus there is neither male nor female."
