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 as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he is to be lord of all:
2 Tedae pa kah a tuetang duela imtawt neh hnokhoem kut hmuiah a om sak.
but is under guardians and managers till the time appointed by the father.
3 Te dongah mamih khaw cahmang la n'om uh vaengah Diklai kah a niing hmuiah sal aka bi la n'om?
So we when we were children, were in servitude 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 came, God sent forth his Son born 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.
that He might redeem those 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, God 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.
So that thou art no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, an heir also of God through Christ.
8 Tedae Pathen ana ming pawt vaengah a coengnah loh pathen la aka om pawt rhoek kah sal na bi uh.
But then indeed, when ye knew not God, ye served those which in reality 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 that ye know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that ye turn again to the poor weak elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage as before?
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.
so that I am afraid for you, least I have indeed 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 also was as ye are: and 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.
But ye know that in the infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at 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 me for it; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
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.
What then was your blessedness? for I bear you witness 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?
And am I become your enemy for telling 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 are zealous for you, but not as they ought: for they would exclude us, that ye may be zealous for 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 that which is good, 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 do as it were travail in birth again,
20 Te dongah nangmih taengah om laeh ka ngaih coeng. Ka ol te thovael ham khaw nangmih soah ka ingang coeng.
till Christ be formed in you, I should be glad to be present with you even now, and to change my voice; for I am in doubt about you.
21 Kai taengah thui uh lah. Olkhueng hmuiah om ham aka ngaih rhoek, olkhueng te na ya uh mahnim?
Tell me, you that are so desirous 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.
where it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by a servant, and one by a free-woman?
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 servant, was born according to the course of nature; whereas the son of the free-woman was by virtue of the 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 figurative; for these persons are emblems of the two covenants, the one from mount Sinai, bringing forth children unto bondage, which is Hagar: for this name Hagar,
25 Hagar tah Arabia kah Sinai tlang coeng ni. Tahae kah Jerusalem banghui la, a ca rhoek taengah sal a bi.
a rock, is expressive of mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage with her children.
26 Tedae soben Jerusalem tah aka loeih ni. Anih tah mamih kah manu ni.
But the Jerusalem above is represented by the free-woman, 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 for a while didst not bear, break forth and cry aloud for joy, thou that didst not travail with child; for many more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath an husband."
28 Manuca rhoek nangmih ngawn tah Isaak bangla olkhueh kah ca rhoek la na om uh.
Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of the 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 who 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.
But what saith the scripture? "Cast out the servant and her son: for the son of the servant shall not inherit with the son of the free-woman."
31 Te dongah manuca rhoek salnu kah voel pawt tih aka loeih kah ca rhoek la n'om uh.
Now we, my brethren, are not children of the servant, but of the free-woman.
