Galati 4
1 Rhopangkung te cahmang la a om khui boeih atah sal khaw, boei khaw, aka om boeih te a tanglue tloe moenih ka ti coeng.
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be mstr of all;
2 Tedae pa kah a tuetang duela imtawt neh hnokhoem kut hmuiah a om sak.
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Te dongah mamih khaw cahmang la n'om uh vaengah Diklai kah a niing hmuiah sal aka bi la n'om?
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 Tedae a tue a soepnah loh ha pawk vaengah Pathen loh a capa te han tueih. Huta lamloh om tih olkhueng hmuiah phoe.
But when the fulness of the time was come, YHWH sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 Te daengah ni olkhueng hmuikah rhoek te a tlan eh. Te daengah ni a. cacah la m'phaeng eh.
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 Te dongah ca rhoek la na om uh coeng. Abba apa tila aka pang a capa kah Mueihla te Pathen loh mamih thinko ah han tueih.
And because ye are sons, YHWH hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Te dongah sal voel pawt tih ca la na om uh coeng. Ca tah Pathen rhangneh rhopangkung la om van.
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of YHWH through the Messiah.
8 Tedae Pathen ana ming pawt vaengah a coengnah loh pathen la aka om pawt rhoek kah sal na bi uh.
Howbeit then, when ye knew not YHWH, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
9 Tedae Pathen te mingpha coeng ta. Te dongah Pathen loh lat m'ming ta. Metlae tattloel neh a niing aka khodaeng taengla koep na mael uh. Te rhoek taengah salbi ham koekhoek koep na ngaih uh.
But now, after that ye have known YHWH, or rather are known of YHWH, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10 Khohnin khaw, hla khaw, khoning khaw, kum khaw na yaeh uh coeng.
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11 Nangmih ham ka thakthae he a hoeihae pawt khaming tila nangmih taengah ka birhih.
I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
12 Kai bangla om uh lah. Kai khaw nangmih vanbang ni tila manuca rhoek nangmih te kan hloep. Kai nan veet uh moenih.
Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
13 Tedae a cuekca kah nangmih taengah ka phong te pumsa kah vawtthoek dongah tila na ming uh.
Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the glad tidings unto you at the first.
14 Ka pumsa ah nangmih ham noemcainah om cakhaw nan hnaelcoe uh pawt tih nan tuei uh moenih. Tedae Pathen kah puencawn bangla, Jesuh Khrih bangla kai nan doe uh.
And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of Elohim, even as the Messiah Yahushua.
15 Te koinih nangmih kah yoethennah tah menim? A phoeng mai koinih na mik te na koeih uh tih kai nan paek uh mako tila nangmih taengah ka laipai.
Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
16 Nangmih ham oltak ka thui dongah nangmih kah rhal la ka coeng a?
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17 Nangmih taengah a thatlai uh te thuem pawh. Tedae nangmih te khoe a ngaih uh daengah amih te na thatlai thil uh mako.
They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
18 Tedae a then la thatlai ham tah then yoeyah ngawn. Te dongah nangmih taengkah ka om rhuet bueng moenih.
But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19 Ka ca rhoek nangmih ah Khrih a kap duela u ham nim ka bung a tloh bal.
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until the Messiah be formed in you,
20 Te dongah nangmih taengah om laeh ka ngaih coeng. Ka ol te thovael ham khaw nangmih soah ka ingang coeng.
I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
21 Kai taengah thui uh lah. Olkhueng hmuiah om ham aka ngaih rhoek, olkhueng te na ya uh mahnim?
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
22 Abraham loh capa panit a khueh te a daek coeng ta. Pakhat te salnu kah tih pakhat te aka loeih nu kah ta.
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 Tedae salnu kah te tah pumsa la a cun. Aka loeih nu kah te tah olkhueh lamloh a cun.
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Amih rhoi loh a tueng sak te om. Amih rhoi tah paipi panit la om. Pakhat tah Sinai tlang lamkah tih sal la a cun. Anih tah Hagar ni.
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Hagar.
25 Hagar tah Arabia kah Sinai tlang coeng ni. Tahae kah Jerusalem banghui la, a ca rhoek taengah sal a bi.
For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 Tedae soben Jerusalem tah aka loeih ni. Anih tah mamih kah manu ni.
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 A daek coeng te ta, Cakol la cacun mueh aw uum khungdaeng lamtah bung aka tlo pawt aw tamhoe lah. Va aka khueh lakah khosoek kah camoe tah taoe ping ta.
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Manuca rhoek nangmih ngawn tah Isaak bangla olkhueh kah ca rhoek la na om uh.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 Tedae pumsa la a cun loh mueihla la cun te a hnaemtak vanbangla tahae ah khaw om van tangloeng.
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Tedae cacim loh, “Salnu neh a capa te haek laeh. Salnu kah a capa te aka loeih nu kah capa taengah phaeng loengloeng boel saeh,” a ti te ta.
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 Te dongah manuca rhoek salnu kah voel pawt tih aka loeih kah ca rhoek la n'om uh.
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
