Galati 5
1 Mamih kah poenghalnah ham Khrih loh n'loeih sak dongah khak pai lamtah sal kah hnamkun te koep ngai boeh.
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not again be put under the control of a yoke of slavery.
2 Kai, Paul loh nangmih taengah, “Yahvin na rhet uh pueng atah Khrih he nangmih ham a phu om mahpawh,” ka ti coeng he.
Look, I, Paul, say to you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will not benefit you in any way.
3 Te phoeiah yahvin aka rhet hlang boeih tah olkhueng te boeih vai ham laiba om tila koep ka laipai.
I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
4 Khrih lamkah naka nong tih olkhueng neh aka tang long tah lungvatnah na hlong coeng.
You are cut off from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you no longer experience grace.
5 Mamih loh duengnah dongkah ngaiuepnah te tangnah mueihla neh n'lamtawn uh.
For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
6 Te dongah Jesuh Khrih ah yahvinrhet khaw tloe pawh, pumdul khaw pakhat pataeng a tloe moenih. Tedae tangnah tah lungnah dongah pongthoo ta.
In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith working through love.
7 Balh na yong uh tih oltak te ngaitang pawt ham unim nangmih aka mah.
You were running well. Who prevented you from obeying the truth?
8 Hloihhlamnah tah nangmih aka khue taeng lamkah moenih.
This persuasion does not come from him who calls you!
9 Tolrhu thamap ca vaidam hlom boeih a rhoi sak.
A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.
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.
I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will pay the penalty, whoever he is.
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.
Brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
12 Nangmih aka palet rhoek tah hlueng pataeng ka ngaih.
As for those who are disturbing you, I wish they would castrate themselves!
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 were called to freedom, brothers. But do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the sinful nature; rather, through love serve 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 is fulfilled in one command: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
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 bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
16 Te phoeiah Mueihla neh pongpa uh lamtah pumsa hoehhamnah te hoem uh loengloeng boeh ka ti.
But I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the sinful nature.
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 desires of the sinful nature are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the sinful nature. For these are in conflict with each other, so that you cannot do the things you want.
18 Tedae Mueihla loh m'mawt atah olkhueng hmuiah na om uh pawh.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Pumsa kah khoboe tah mingpha la om coeng. Te rhoek tah Cukhalnah, rhongingnah, omthenbawn,
Now the works of the sinful nature are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,
20 Mueibawknah, rhunsi khuehnah, thunkhanah, tohhaemnah, kohlopnah, thinsanah, koevoeinah, paekboenah, buhlaelh,
idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, rivalry, dissension, divisions,
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, drunken celebrations, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 Tedae Mueihla kah a thaih tah lungnah, omngaihnah, rhoepnah, thinsennah, rhennah, boethennah, tangnah,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 muelhtuetnah, kuemsuemnah ni. Tebang te olkhueng loh a kingkalh om pawh.
gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law.
24 Tedae Jesuh Khrih kah rhoek long tah pumsa patangnah neh hoehhamnah te hmaih a tai coeng.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
25 Mueihla neh n'hing uh atah Mueihla lamloh m'vai uh van ni.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by 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.
