Galati 3

1 Galati hlangang rhoek aw, a tai tangtae Jesuh Khrih te mik hmuh ah a tueng lalah unim nangmih aka hloih.

O foolish Galatians, who has been bewitching you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was set forth having been crucified?

2 Nangmih lamkah tah he bueng ni ming ka ngaih. Olkhueng kah khoboe nen nim, na dang uh mueihla neh tangnah hnavue nen nim?

I only wish to learn this from you, Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by hearing of faith?

3 Hlangang la na om uh tangloeng. Mueihla ah hma aka pai loh pumsa ah na khah uh coeng.

Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect in the flesh?

4 A hoeihae lam nim heyet na patang uh? Te koinih a hoeihae pawn ni te.

Have you suffered so many things in vain? if indeed in vain.

5 Te dongah nangmih te mueihla aka pae tih nangmih ah thaomnah a tueng sak tah olkhueng kah khoboe nen nim? Thangnah kah hnavue nen dae nim?

Then did the one imparting to you the Spirit, and working miracles, among you, do it by works of law, or by hearing of faith?

6 Te vanbangla Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah tih amah te duengnah la a nawt.

As Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

7 Te dongah tangnah dongkah rhoek tah Abraham kah a ca rhoek ni tila ming uh.

Then know that those who are of faith, the same are the sons of Abraham.

8 Namtom rhoek he tangnah loh a tang sak te cacim loh ana hmaitang coeng. Pathen loh Abraham te, “Nang lamloh namtom boeih a yoethen ni,” tila olthangthen a thui.

But the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, That in thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

9 Te dongah tangnah kah hlang rhoek te tah uepom Abraham rhangneh a yoethen uh.

Therefore those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 Olkhueng kah bibi lamloh aka om boeih tah rhunkhuennah hmuiah om uh. A saii uh ham te olkhueng cabu khuiah a daek. Te rhoek boeih dongah aka ngolpai pawt rhoek te rhunkhuen thil saeh,” tila a daek coeng.

For so many as are of works of law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who does not abide in all things which have been written in the book of the law, to do the same.

11 Tedae olkhueng lamloh Pathen taengah a tang pawt te mingpha coeng dongah aka dueng tah tangnah nen ni a hing eh.

But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: because, The just shall live by faith:

12 Te dongah olkhueng tah tangnah dongah om pawt dae te te aka vai tah te nen te hing ni.

though the law is not of faith; but the one having done these things shall live in them.

13 Khrih loh mamih he olkhueng kah rhunkhuennah lamloh n'tlan tih mamih yueng la rhunkhuennah a yook. “Rhunkhuen boeih tah thing dongah a hoei,” tila a daek pai.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: because it has been written; Cursed is every one having been hung on the wood:

14 Te daengah ni Abraham kah yoethennah tah Khrih Jesuh lamloh namtom taengah a pha eh. Te daengah ni Mueihla kah olkhueh te tangnah lamloh n'dang eh.

in order that the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus may come to the Gentiles; in order that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Manuca rhoek hlang vanbangla ka thui. Hlang loh a cak sak paipi pataeng hnawt pawt tih a thap bal moenih.

Brethren, I speak according to a man, nevertheless no one disannuls, or adds to, the covenant of a man which has been confirmed.

16 Te dongah Abraham neh a tiingan ham olkhueh a thui uh vaengah a yet ham bangla, “Tiingan rhoek te,” a ti moenih. Tedae pakhat ham bangla, “Na tiingan taengah,” a ti nah. Te tah Khrih dae ni.

But the promises were spoken to Abraham and his seed. He does not say, And unto seeds, as of many; but as of one; And thy seed, which is Christ.

17 Te dongah he he ka thui. Pathen loh a cak sak phoeikah kum yali sawmthum ah aka thoeng olkhueng loh paipi a hmil moenih. Te vanbangla olkhueh te khaw a phae moenih.

And I say this; The law which was given after four hundred and thirty years, does not disannul the covenant which had been before confirmed of God, so as to make the promise of none effect.

18 Rho tah olkhueng lamloh om koinih olkhueh dongah om mahpawh. Tedae Pathen loh olkhueh nen ni Abraham te a rhen.

For if the inheritance were by law, it is no more by promise: but God gave it to Abraham through the promise.

19 Te koinih olkhueng te ta? A caeng tangtae tiingan te ha pawk duela boekoeknah rhoek te a thap. Tekah te rhikhangkung kut longah puencawn lamloh a uen coeng.

Then what is the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the seed to whom the promise was made should come; being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

20 Rhikhangkung tah pakhat kah la om pawh. Tedae Pathen tah pakhat la om.

A mediator is not of one; but God is one.

21 Te koinih olkhueng loh Pathen kah olkhueh te a kingkalh a? Tlam te om mahpawh. Olkhueng a paek loh hing sak thai koinih olkhueng dongah duengnah rhep n'dang ni.

Then was the law against the promises of God? it could not be so. For if the law was given being able to create life, truly justification would have been by law:

22 Tedae a cungkuem he cacim loh tholhnah hmuiah a up coeng. Te daengah ni olkhueh tah Jesuh Khrih kah tangnah lamloh aka tangnah rhoek taengah a paek eh.

but the scripture has shut up all things unto sin, in order that the promise through faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those who believe.

23 Tedae tangnah ha pawk hlan lamloh tangnah a pumphoe tom duela olkhueng hmuiah a uup tih n'khoembael.

But before faith came, we were kept under law, being shut up to the faith about to be revealed.

24 Te dongah mamih kah cakhoem olkhueng loh Khrih taengla n'om sak. Te daengah ni tangnah lamloh n'tang sak.

Therefore the law became our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ, in order that we may be justified by faith;

25 Tedae tangnah ha pawk vaengah tah cakhoem kut hmuiah om uh voel pawh.

but faith having come, we are no longer under the schoolmaster.

26 Jesuh Khrih dongkah tangnah lamloh Pathen ca rhoek la boeih na om uh.

For you are all the sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus;

27 Khrih ah naka nuem boeih loh Khrih te na bai uh.

for so many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28 Judah khaw Greek khaw om pawh. Sal khaw hlang loeih khaw om pawh. Tongpa neh huta om pawh. Nangmih tah Jesuh Khrih ah pakhat la boeih na om uh.

There is no longer Jew nor Greek, nor bond nor free, nor male and female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 Nangmih khaw Khrih kah coeng atah rhopangnah olkhueh vanbangla Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh van.

But if you belong to Christ then you are the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
