Galati 5
1 Mamih kah poenghalnah ham Khrih loh n'loeih sak dongah khak pai lamtah sal kah hnamkun te koep ngai boeh.
stand firm then, and do not be again entangled in a yoke of bondage.
2 Kai, Paul loh nangmih taengah, “Yahvin na rhet uh pueng atah Khrih he nangmih ham a phu om mahpawh,” ka ti coeng he.
Listen to me! I, Paul, declare to you that if you are to continue to follow the rite of circumcision, Christ will be no profit to you.
3 Te phoeiah yahvin aka rhet hlang boeih tah olkhueng te boeih vai ham laiba om tila koep ka laipai.
I solemnly testify to every man who submits to circumcision that he obligates himself to keep the whole Law.
4 Khrih lamkah naka nong tih olkhueng neh aka tang long tah lungvatnah na hlong coeng.
If you are being justified by law, you are cut off from Christ; you are fallen away from grace.
5 Mamih loh duengnah dongkah ngaiuepnah te tangnah mueihla neh n'lamtawn uh.
But we are not, for we through the Spirit are eagerly waiting by faith for a hope of righteousness (a hope well founded);
6 Te dongah Jesuh Khrih ah yahvinrhet khaw tloe pawh, pumdul khaw pakhat pataeng a tloe moenih. Tedae tangnah tah lungnah dongah pongthoo ta.
because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.
7 Balh na yong uh tih oltak te ngaitang pawt ham unim nangmih aka mah.
You were running your race nobly. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 Hloihhlamnah tah nangmih aka khue taeng lamkah moenih.
The influence brought to bear does not come from him who is calling you.
9 Tolrhu thamap ca vaidam hlom boeih a rhoi sak.
A little leaven is leavening the whole lump.
10 Kai loh Boeipa dongah nangmih kan pangtung thil te a tloe la poek uh boeh. Tedae nangmih aka hinghuen tah u khaw om mai saeh laitloeknah a phueih bitni.
As for me, I am fully trusting you in the Lord that you will be no otherwise minded; but he who is trying to unsettle you will have to bear his punishment, whoever he may be.
11 Tedae ka manuca rhoek aw, yahvinrhetnah ka hoe pueng atah balae tih vawk n'hnaemtaek. Te dongah thangkui long tah thinglam dongkah ni a hmil.
But I, brothers, if I "still preach circumcision," why am I still persecuted? Then surely the stumbling-block of the Cross has ceased to be an obstacle!
12 Nangmih aka palet rhoek tah hlueng pataeng ka ngaih.
Would to God that those who are trying to unsettle you would even have themselves mutilated.
13 Te dongah manuca rhoek, poenghalnah khuila nangmih n'khue. Tedae rhoidoengnah he pumsa rhoidoengnah dawk ham moenih ta. Lungnah lamloh khat neh khat salbi uh.
For you, brothers, were called for freedom; only do not make your freedom an excuse for self-indulgence, but in love enslave yourselves to one another.
14 Olkhueng boeih he ol pakhat dongah soep coeng. Te khuiah, “Na imben te namah bangla lungnah,” a ti.
For the whole Law has been fulfilled in this one precept, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
15 Tedae khat neh khat na nget uh tih na yoop uh thae atah ana noek uh, khat khat neh na hlawp uh thae mahpawt nim.
But if you are always biting and devouring one another, take heed lest you be utterly consumed one by another.
16 Te phoeiah Mueihla neh pongpa uh lamtah pumsa hoehhamnah te hoem uh loengloeng boeh ka ti.
This is my meaning. Let your steps be guided by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
17 Pumsa ngaih loh mueihla te a koek tih Mueihla loh pumsa te a koek. Te tah khat neh khat kingkalh uh. Te dongah na ngaih pawt te na saii uh.
For the desire of the flesh is against that of the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against that of the flesh, for they two are antagonistic, so that you may not do those things that you wish.
18 Tedae Mueihla loh m'mawt atah olkhueng hmuiah na om uh pawh.
But if you are habitually led by the Spirit you are not under law.
19 Pumsa kah khoboe tah mingpha la om coeng. Te rhoek tah Cukhalnah, rhongingnah, omthenbawn,
Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such, for instance, as fornication, impurity, indecency,
20 Mueibawknah, rhunsi khuehnah, thunkhanah, tohhaemnah, kohlopnah, thinsanah, koevoeinah, paekboenah, buhlaelh,
idol-worship, sorcery, quarrels, party-spirit, jealousy, passionate anger, intrigues, factions, sectarianism,
21 uethnetnah, rhuihahnah, omngaihlawn he ni. Hekah phek la om. Tekah te thui tangtae bangla te bang kho aka boe rhoek loh Pathen kah ram pang mahpawh tila nangmih taengah ka thui.
envy, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these. I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practise such sins shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 Tedae Mueihla kah a thaih tah lungnah, omngaihnah, rhoepnah, thinsennah, rhennah, boethennah, tangnah,
But the harvest-fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control;
23 muelhtuetnah, kuemsuemnah ni. Tebang te olkhueng loh a kingkalh om pawh.
against such there is no law.
24 Tedae Jesuh Khrih kah rhoek long tah pumsa patangnah neh hoehhamnah te hmaih a tai coeng.
And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites.
25 Mueihla neh n'hing uh atah Mueihla lamloh m'vai uh van ni.
If we are living by the Spirit, let us also keep step in the Spirit.
26 Hoemdawk la khat neh khat takloh neh, khat neh khat uethnet neh om uh boel sih.
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
