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 bewitched you? before whose eyes Jesus Christ was plainly set forth among you 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?
This only I desire to learn from you: Was it from the works of the Law that ye received the Spirit, or by the preaching of faith?
3 Hlangang la na om uh tangloeng. Mueihla ah hma aka pai loh pumsa ah na khah uh coeng.
Are ye so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, do ye now end with the flesh?
4 A hoeihae lam nim heyet na patang uh? Te koinih a hoeihae pawn ni te.
Have ye suffered so much in vain? if indeed it be really 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?
Doth he then who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by the preaching 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 accounted to him as righteousness.”
7 Te dongah tangnah dongkah rhoek tah Abraham kah a ca rhoek ni tila ming uh.
Know then that they who have faith, these 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.
Moreover the Scripture, foreseeing that God was to accept the gentiles as righteous by faith, proclaimed beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham, saying, “In thee shall all nations be blessed.”
9 Te dongah tangnah kah hlang rhoek te tah uepom Abraham rhangneh a yoethen uh.
So then they who have faith are blessed with believing 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 rely on the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which 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.
But further, that through the observance of the Law no one is accepted as righteous with God is evident; for “the righteous shall live by faith.”
12 Te dongah olkhueng tah tangnah dongah om pawt dae te te aka vai tah te nen te hing ni.
And the Law hath nothing to do with faith; but [[its language is]], “He that hath done them 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 redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, “Cursed is every one that is hanged on a beam of 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.
to the end that in Christ Jesus the blessing promised to Abraham might come to the gentiles, that we through faith might receive the Spirit which was promised.
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 what is practised among men; no one sets aside even a human covenant, or makes additions to it, after it has been ratified.
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 made to Abraham and “to his offspring.” He doth not say, “and to offsprings,” as speaking of many, but, as speaking of one, “and to thy 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.
And what I mean is this; that a covenant that was before ratified by God, the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, cannot annul, so as to make void 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 cometh from the Law, it ceaseth to be the consequence of the promise; but to Abraham God gave it 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.
To what end then was the Law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise belongeth, having been ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 Rhikhangkung tah pakhat kah la om pawh. Tedae Pathen tah pakhat la om.
Now no mediator is a mediator 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.
Is then the Law against the promises of God? Far be it! For if a law had been given which was able to give life, righteousness would indeed have been by 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 Scripture shut up all under sin, that the blessing promised through 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 ward under the Law, shut up unto the faith which was to be revealed.
24 Te dongah mamih kah cakhoem olkhueng loh Khrih taengla n'om sak. Te daengah ni tangnah lamloh n'tang sak.
So then the Law hath been our schoolmaster, to lead us to Christ, that we might be accepted as righteous through faith;
25 Tedae tangnah ha pawk vaengah tah cakhoem kut hmuiah om uh voel pawh.
but faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 Jesuh Khrih dongkah tangnah lamloh Pathen ca rhoek la boeih na om uh.
For ye 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, did 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 bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus;
29 Nangmih khaw Khrih kah coeng atah rhopangnah olkhueh vanbangla Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh van.
and if ye belong to Christ, then are ye Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise.
