Galati 3
1 Galati hlangang rhoek aw, a tai tangtae Jesuh Khrih te mik hmuh ah a tueng lalah unim nangmih aka hloih.
O deficient-minded Galatoyee, who bewildereth you? For, behold, as if depicted before your eyes, hath Jeshu the Meshiha 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?
This only would I know from you: Through the works of the law received you the Spirit, or through the 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 that having begun in the Spirit you are now finishing in the flesh?
4 A hoeihae lam nim heyet na patang uh? Te koinih a hoeihae pawn ni te.
And all these have you borne in vain? But would it be 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, he who imparted to you the Spirit, and wrought miracles among you, (did he so) through the works of the law, or through the hearing of faith?
6 Te vanbangla Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah tih amah te duengnah la a nawt.
As Abraham believed Aloha, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness,
7 Te dongah tangnah dongkah rhoek tah Abraham kah a ca rhoek ni tila ming uh.
know therefore that they who are of faith are the 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.
For Aloha who knew before that he would justify the Gentiles through faith, evangelized before unto Abraham; as saith the holy scripture: In thee all the nations shall be blessed:
9 Te dongah tangnah kah hlang rhoek te tah uepom Abraham rhangneh a yoethen uh.
therefore believers are blessed with Abraham the believer.
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 they who are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who doeth not all that is written in this law.
11 Tedae olkhueng lamloh Pathen taengah a tang pawt te mingpha coeng dongah aka dueng tah tangnah nen ni a hing eh.
But that man is not justified by the law before Aloha, this maketh manifest: because it is written, The just by faith shall live.
12 Te dongah olkhueng tah tangnah dongah om pawt dae te te aka vai tah te nen te hing ni.
But the law is not of faith: but he who doeth those things that are written in it shall 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.
But us hath the Meshiha bought from the curse of the law, and hath been made a curse instead of us: for it is written, Accursed is every one who is hanged 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 upon the nations there might be the blessing of Abraham in Jeshu the Meshiha, 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.
My brethren, I speak as among men: That a covenant of man because confirmed no one rejecteth, or changeth in any thing.
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 to Abraham was promised the promise, and to his seed. And he did not say to him, Unto thy seeds, as of many; but, To thy seed, as of one, him, (namely, ) who is the Meshiha.
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.
But I say this, that the covenant which was confirmed before by Aloha, in the Meshiha, the law which was after, four hundred and thirty years, cannot nullify, nor (can it) abolish the promise.
18 Rho tah olkhueng lamloh om koinih olkhueh dongah om mahpawh. Tedae Pathen loh olkhueh nen ni Abraham te a rhen.
But if the inheritance was by the law, it could not have been by the promise; but Aloha gave it unto 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.
Wherefore then was the law? It was added on account of transgression, until the Seed should come, he, of whom was the promise; and the law was given by angels into the hand of a Mediator.
20 Rhikhangkung tah pakhat kah la om pawh. Tedae Pathen tah pakhat la om.
But a Mediator is not of one; but Aloha 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 therefore against the promise of Aloha? Impossible: for if a law had been given which could make to live, certainly righteousness would 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 hath included all under sin, that the promise through faith of Jeshu Meshiha might be given to them who believe.
23 Tedae tangnah ha pawk hlan lamloh tangnah a pumphoe tom duela olkhueng hmuiah a uup tih n'khoembael.
But until (the dispensation of) faith came, the law kept us, as 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.
The law therefore was our conductor to the Meshiha, that we might be justified by faith.
25 Tedae tangnah ha pawk vaengah tah cakhoem kut hmuiah om uh voel pawh.
But faith being come, we are not under the conductor.
26 Jesuh Khrih dongkah tangnah lamloh Pathen ca rhoek la boeih na om uh.
For you are all the children of Aloha through the faith of Jeshu the Meshiha.
27 Khrih ah naka nuem boeih loh Khrih te na bai uh.
For they who into the Meshiha are baptized have been clothed with the Meshiha.
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.
Jihudoya or Aramoya is not; the slave or the free is not; male or female is not; for you are all one in Jeshu Meshiha.
29 Nangmih khaw Khrih kah coeng atah rhopangnah olkhueh vanbangla Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh van.
And if you are of the Meshiha, therefore are you the seed of Abraham, and heirs by the promise.
