Galatians 4
1 What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything.
Belam toombaat ibah—hewah nyamka chote ah nodek tokdi jirep ah khomchoh abah uh dah likhiik ih ang ah.
2 He is subject to guardians and trustees until the date set by his father.
Heh noodek ang tokdi, heh wah ih saapoot thiin kota ah maang langlang, heh sokboite mina loong rah ih tim jamha erah jam koh ah.
3 So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world.
Erah likhiikkhiik seng loong ah chiiala ni maang hak hak mongrep pante chiiala dah angti.
4 But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
Eno saapoot ah chang kano, Rangte ih heh Sah miimi daapkaat taha. Heh ah mina nuh lam ih raaha no Jehudi Hootthe mong ni tong ra taha,
5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.
Hootthe mong ni tongte loong ah dokrik ra taha, timnge liidih seng loong ah Rangte suh asah jen ang raangtaan ih ah.
6 And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
Rangte ih heh susah ngeh noisok halan raangtaan ih Rangte ih Chiiala seng ten ni daapkaat taha, marah Chiiala “Ewah, Ewah” kah riinghuungta rah ih ah.
7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.
Erah ang abah, sen loong ah dasah lakah ang thang heh sah ih hoon lan. Eno amadi sen heh sah angthoi, Rangte ih heh jinni heh susah loong suh kot suh jeela erah kohan.
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
Jaakhoh ni bah sen ih Rangte ah tajattan, eno sen loong ah Rangte lah angka loong dasah ang tan.
9 But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
Enoothong belam bah sen ih Rangte ah ejat ehan—ngah ih jen li eh ang Rangte ih sen loong ah ejat ih halan—enooba sen loong larook lata nyia menmi chanke panha chiiala loong jinnah mamah ih ngaakkaat suh thun han? Erah doh dasah we hoonkaat suh mamah ih thun han?
10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
Sen loong ih mararah heh rangwuung, heh la, rangkuh, nyia heh paang ah hoondak ih bansok han.
11 I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain.
Ngah sen suh esootsaam elang! Ngah sen raangtaan ih molang ah thaangmuh doh tam ang kah ah?
12 I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
Phoh ano loong, sen lasih joh rumhala, nga likhiik ang we an. Mamah liidoh ngah uh sen likhiik ang lang. Sen ih nga raang ih timjih uh tathet reetan.
13 You know that it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.
Ngah ih sen suh hephang di ruurangese ah tim suh nyootsoot rum taha ah taat dokthun et thaak an, ngah esat thoidi ruurangese ah nyootsoot rum taha.
14 And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.
Enoothong ngah khoisat ah sen suh lase kaabah uh sen ih tah chiik tahe, tah phanhaat tahe, erah thaknang ibah sen ih Rangte taangnawa rangsah tam ra hala ngeh banpoon tahe; sen ih Kristo Jisu suh kah banpoon ah jih banpoon tahe.
15 What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
Sen loong rapne ih roon tan ah! Mamah angta? Ngah ih jen baat mok erumha sen mik ah ejen doklot choi ang abah ngah suh kohe ngeh ah.
16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Amiisak tiit ah baat rumha no ngah sen damdi piiara tam ehoon lang?
17 Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.
Wahoh loong ih sen suh neng thung ah koh ano sok halan, enoothong neng tenthun ah ese tah angka. Neng ih sen ah nga taangnawa pheehoom suh thun rumha, mamah liidih neng ih mongnook lam ih thun halan erah likhiik sen eh uh emamah toomwe ngaak thun an suh ah.
18 Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.
Sok thaak an, sen loong raangtaan ih timthan ese ang ah marah sen raangtaan ih ese ang ah erah doh senthung sentak ah mok koh an bah ah—arah bah saarookwe amiimi, ngah sen damdoh je ang doh luulu tah angka.
19 My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
Nga mongnook suh asah loong, Kristo dang ajang ah sen damdoh maang dongdong ngah noonuh nootup suh kasat ah likhiik, nga ten uh emamah ih sat lang.
20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.
Ngah amadoh sen damdoh angtang bah timthan ese ang thengta, ngah ih sen ah toongtang lam ih lamse nah siit theng rum taha. Ngah sen suh rapne ih sootsaam lang!
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?
Ngah ih jengkhaap cheng rum thaak ha, ngo ngo ah Hootthe lalih nah tong suh nook thaak ah: Hootthe ih timjih kali ah tatam kachaat kan?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
Eradi liiha Abraham suh heh sah enyi angta, wasiit ah danuh dowa sah angta, wasiit ah heh minuh mi dowa sah angta.
23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.
Heh sah dah nuh nawa tupta ah jojang ih tupta, enoothong heh minuh mi nawa tupta abah Rangte ih kakhamta jun ih tupta.
24 These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.
Arah nyi tiit ah tiitthaak ngeh samthun theng: nunyi ah nuumiijeng enyi di toobaat ha. Noodek esiit tupta danuh men ah Hagar eno he ah langla Sinai hakong adi jengdang kakhamta rah to baatta.
25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
Hagar ah Arabia hah nawa Senai kong raangtaan ih ngoot baat ha ah langla amadi Jerusalem samnuthung raang ih angla, erah samnuthung nyia erah ni tong rum ano dah rumla loong ah nyoot baat ha.
26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
Enoothong rangmong dowa Jerusalem abah dah lakmong ni tah angka, heh ah seng loong nuh.
27 For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”
Mamah liidih Rangteele ni liiha, “Tenroon ang an, ngo sumuh ang lan long ah! Tenroon ih riing araak an, ngo satup di lah thaak satte loong o! Mamah liidih neng miwah ih amah sah uh ladaap haatka minuh thaknang ibah neng miwah muh loong taangnah neng sah ehan ang ah.”
28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Nga joonte loong Rangte ih kakhamta jun ih sen loong ah Rangte suh asah, Isak angta likhiik ah.
29 At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now.
Erah tokdoh marah Rangte Chiiala jun ih tupta miwasah rah, jojang ih tupta miwasah rah ih siiwi ah; erah amadi emamah angla.
30 But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”
Enoothong rangteele ni mamah raangha? Eradi amah raangha “Danuh nyi heh sah miwah sah rah dok phanhaat ih an; mamah liidih danuh mong nawa dong taha miwasah rah heh wah jinnah wa nyamka ah tah choka, changte wah minuh mi dowa tupta miwah sah kah choh ah likhiik ah.”
31 Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
Erah raangtaan ih nga joonte loong, seng loong ah danuh sah ah tah angke enoothong changte minuh mi suh, seng loong ah heh sah.
