Galati 3

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

Foolish Galatians, who has cunningly deceived you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth as 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 just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the 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 completed in the flesh?

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

Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is 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?

He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

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

Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."

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

Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children 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.

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the non-Jews by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "Through you all the nations will be blessed."

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

So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the 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 as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."

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

Now it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, for, "The righteous will live by faith."

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

The law is not of faith, but, "The one who does them will live by 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 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 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.

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the non-Jews through Christ Jesus; that we might 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.

Brothers, I am speaking in human terms. Though it is only a human covenant, once it has been ratified, no one annuls it or adds to it.

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.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He does not say, "And to offsprings," as of many, but as of one, "And to your offspring," 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.

Now I say this: the law, which came four hundred thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to cancel the promise.

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 is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by 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.

What then is 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 Rhikhangkung tah pakhat kah la om pawh. Tedae Pathen tah pakhat la om.

Now a mediator is not between 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.

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not. For if there had been a law given which could give life, most certainly righteousness would have been of the 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 Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might 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 in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

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

So that the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

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

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

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

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

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

For as 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 neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor 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.

If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.
