Galatians 5
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.
Seng pongwan ih tongli loong ah langla—Kristo ih dokja tahe rah! Erah ang abah, pongwan tongte mina likhiik ih angtheng, dah we ngaak hoon suh lawe nook theng.
2 Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
Chaat thaak an! Ngah, Pool, ih baat rumhala sen loong ih sen khoopkhan banlam hoon theng mokthun an bah, Kristo abah sen ih tim raangtaan ih ma jam an.
3 Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
Ngah ih jaasiit we ban baat rumhala ngo ih heh khoopkhan banlam ah khan abah, heh ih Hootthe ni timjih liiha erah thoontang ekap etheng.
4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Ngo ih an teeteewah suh Hootthe ah jen banlam angno Rangte re nah epun ih ang taat samthun te bah, heh teeteewah Kristo re nawa epheepaak ela. An ah Rangte minchan khui ni tah angko.
5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness.
Seng loong bah Rangte ih heh teeteewah damdoh epun ang thuk he ngeh laalomli; eno erah bansok hi, Rangte Chiiala chaan aphaan nawa ih seng loong tuungmaang jun ih seng damdoh moh raaha ngeh ah.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.
Seng loong ah Kristo Jisu damdoh roong roopli, khoopkhan banlam khantheng uh tah angke, tim lajeeka bah uh seng suh maama tah angke, enoothong tuungmaang ah seng laktung ni minchan muili adi mola.
7 You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth?
Sen ih rapne ese kah ih reetan ah! Amiisak lam nah nak re an ngeh ngo ih baat tahan? Heh ih mamah ih huk baat tahan?
8 Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you.
Marah ih poon tahan erah Rangte taangnawa tah angka.
9 A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough.
“Cham hantek ah jen pookphak thuk suh to amasah ang abah uh laaleh ang ah,” neng ih emah ih li rumta.
10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
Enoothong amadi uh sen loong di laalom eje. Seng loong roidong ah Teesu damdi angli rah sen di laalom lang, sen ih ehoh tenthun tathun kan ang an, sen loong ngo ih thungjoong thuk halan erah loong ah Rangte ih cham thuk ah.
11 Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
Nga joonte loong, nga tungkaang diibah, ngah ih khoopkhan banlam ah ekhan etheng ngeh baat ruh mok ih rumha bah, amadi tuk ih ngah mamah laat siiwi thuk rum halang? Erah amiisak mok angta bah, Kristo bangphak tiit baat ang doh chamchoh ah tathok theng taha.
12 As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves!
Sen thungjoong thukte loong ah neng ih toom jat ah, neng tiik ah neng neng ih toom khat haat kaat rum ah!
13 For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.
Nga joonte loong, sen loong bah maama pongwan ih tong suh poon tahan. Enoothong maama pongwan tongtheng liiha rah ih hansi ko lam nah nak toom siitkaat han. Erah nang ibah sen laktung nah nong minchan mui an.
14 The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Mamah liidih timthan Hootthe loong ah esiit di roopla: “Ankhuung antok ah minchan uh an teeteewah kah minchan uh likhiik ah.”
15 But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.
Enoothong woma huiawak likhiik moktong an bah, eliilaang mui, sen jaachi nah thet haatmui mok ete anglan, erah raangtaan ih sen loong mongtham ih ban tong an, lah angka bah sen phothoon thet haatmui an.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Ngah ih liihang ah langla: Chiiala ih sen roidong doh tom siit han, marah mina sak ih jamha rah ih sen ten tachem kan ang an.
17 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
Mamah liidih marah seng sak ih jamha erah Chiiala ih tajamka, eno marah Chiiala ih jamha erah seng sak ih tajamka. Arah nyi abah tara nyuika, eno arah baat ha ah langla marah nooklu erah tami re kako.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Chiiala ih siit hoobah, Hootthe lakhui nah tah angko.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;
Marah mina thung nawa ih reela ah rangkhoh ni. Erah ih jaaro jaalah ethih tenthun, esot, jaathih reeraang ah noisok thuk ha;
20 idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions,
Tongmih nyia doonthe soom adi ah. Mina loong neng laktung ni ra ih hoon rumleh changrook roong rum; neng jaachi ni miksuk mui, tenkhat eno ekap ejap tenthun. Eno ngah ih totoh kap ang ngeh thunte mina loong hoon rumla. Neng jaachi ni dung jom baji ih hoon rumla;
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Neng loong ah elong baalah angtang ngeh thunte loong, khammokte, ethih ekhah reeraangte, jihoh loong uh emamah ih re rumte loong. Jaakhoh ni uh ebaat choi amadi uh erah baat rumhala: Erah likhiik ngo re ah erah mina loong ah Rangte Hasong ah tachoka.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Enoothong Chiiala ibah minchan, tenroon, semroongroong, enaan, tenthet, ese, tuungmaang theng ah dong thuk ah,
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
toongtang nyia ejen naan loong ah dong thuk ah. Arah loong ah likhiik asuh ba Hootthe ah jam jih tah angka.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Eno ngo Kristo Jisu mina angla loong ah ih neng dangjang nyia neng ramka, sukram, loong ah thinhaat rum ah.
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit.
Chiiala ih seng roidong ah koh hali; heh ih uh sengtong sengtha adoh hompan eh he.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.
Seng loong ah engaam lah etheng, elong tenthun, esiit esiit lah khat haatmui theng eno miksuk mui nak etheng.
