< Galatians 3 >

1 O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?
Nangmi Kalatih khyang k’ang he aw! u naw a ning jah mhleimhlak ni? Nami mika hmuh yea Jesuh Khritaw kutlamktung üng a thiha mawng angsinga mdana kya ye se.
2 This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Thuma pyen nami läka phäha Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya nami yahki aw? Thangkdaw ngja u lü nami jumeia phäha Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya nami yahki aw? Ning jah kthäh veng na mtheh ua.
3 Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
Ihlawka nami yawki ni! Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya am tünei u lü atuh nami mäta khyaihnak am nami kpäng vai nami ngja hlüki aw?
4 Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
Nami hmuh ngjak he avan amdanga kyaki tinak aw? Iyaw hlenga ta kya vü.
5 He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you; doth he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?
Pamhnam naw Ngmüimkhya ning jah pe lü khutbi bi lü, müncan he nami ksunga a jah mdan hin Thum nami läka phäha aw, am acunüng thangkdaw ngja u lü nami jumeia phäha aw?
6 As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
Abrahama mawng cen ngai süm u; “Pamhnam jum se, a jumnaka phäha Pamhnam naw ngdüngdaikia a ngaih pet” tia cangcim üng a ng’yuka kba.
7 Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Acunakyase Abrahama cana kcang he cun jumnak takia khyanga kyaki he ti cun nami süm vai sü.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Pamhnam naw khyangmjükce he ami jumnak am amät üng jah ngdüngdaisak khai tia cangcim naw pyen khawiki. Acunakyase cangcim naw, “Pamhnam naw nang üngka naw khyangmjü naküt dawkyanak jah pe khai” tia Abrahama veia thangkdaw a sang cen.
9 Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
Acunakyase Abraham naw jumei lü dawkyanak a yaha kba; jumeiki naküt naw dawkyanak yah hngaki he.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one, that abideth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Thum üp na u lü läkie cun yüncenaka keha awmki he. Isetiakyaküng, “Thum cauk üng ng’yuki naküt am läki naküt cun Pamhnama yüncenaka keha awmki” tia cangcim naw a pyena phäha kyaki.
11 But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
“A jumnaka phäh Pamhnam naw a ngdüngdaisaka khyang däng ni a xün khawm” tia cangcim üng ng’yukia kyase, u pi Thum läka phäha Pamhnama vei ä ngsungpyunki ti ngsingki.
12 But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.
Thum cun jumnak üng am sengei. “Thuma ti naküt läki xüng khai” tia ni cangcim naw a pyen ve.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
“Thing üng taih naküt cun Pamhnama yüncea kyaki” tia cangcim naw a pyena kyase, mi phäha Khritaw amät yüncea ngpawh kyu lü Thuma lawpüia yüncenak üngka jah thawngki.
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
Pamhnam naw Abrahama veia a khyütam cen khyangmjükce he naw pi Khritaw Jesuh üngka ami yahnak hnga vaia, Khritaw naw ahin a pawha kyaki. Acunüng Pamhnama khyütamnaka Ngmüimkhya cun mimi naw pi jumnak am mi yahnak hnga vaia kyaki.
15 Brethren (I speak after the manner of man, ) yet a man’s testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth, nor addeth to it.
Ka püi he aw, msuimcäpnak am ka pyen khai: khyang nghngih naw iyaw ngaisim ni lü khyütam ani pawh käna u naw am kpyeh thei, mkhahsia pi am kya khawi.
16 To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Pamhnam naw Abraham la a mjükphyüia veia khyütam pawhki. Ngthungcim naw khawjah a pyena kba, “Mjükphyüiea” tia am kya lü khyang mat däng pyena kba, “Mjükphyüia” tia ni akya ve. Acun cun Khritawa kyaki.
17 Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.
Ka pyen hlü cun: Pamhnam naw Abrahama veia ngthumkhän ta lü acun kümsak khaia khyütam pawhki. Kum phyakphyü la thumkip käna peta Thum naw Pamhnama ngthumkhän am kpyeh thei. Pamhnama khyütam pi am pyaisak thei.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Pamhnama khawh yet hin Thum üng sengkia akya üng Pamhnama khyütam üng sengkia am kya hlü ti ve. Acunsepi a khyütama phäha ni Pamhnam naw acuna khawh yet cun Abraham üng a pet ve.
19 Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Acunüng Thum cun ia ham vai ni? Katnak cun katnaka kyaki ti mdan khaia kyaki. Thum cun khyütam pet Abrahama mjükphyüia pha law däa khäng khaia pawha kyaki. Thum cun khankhawngsä naw ngsä mata kut üng a peta kyaki.
20 Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
Acunsepi khyang mat däng a bawi üng ngsä mat am hlü ti; Mhnam ta mat däng ni.
21 Was the law then against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.
Am acunüng Thum naw Pamhnama khyütam he jah tuki aw? Am jah tu! Nghngicim naw xünak a yahnak vai Thum yahkia akya vai sü, khyang naküt naw Thum läklam lü Pamhnama veia ngdüngdai khai su.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
Cunsepi cangcim naw, “Khawmdek avan cun katnak johita keha awmki; Jesuh Khritaw jumei phäha yah vai aphu ka a jah yeta khyütam cun jumeiki he üng jah peta kyaki” a ti.
23 But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
Cunsepi jumeinaka kcün am a pha law ham üng, jumeinak a ngdang law veicäpa Thum naw thawngkyuma mäiha jah küpki.
24 Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Acunakyase jumeinak üng Pamhnama veia mi ngdüngdainak vaia, Khritaw am a pha law ham üng Thum naw jah ngkhapüikia kyaki.
25 But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
Atuh jumeinaka kcün pha lawki. Thum naw am jah ngkhahpüi ti.
26 For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
Jumnak am Khritaw Jesuh üng Pamhnama ca nami kya bäihki.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.
Khritaw üng baptican nami khanki; amät Khritaw nami suiawiki ni.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Acunakyase Judah khyang ja khyangmjükce he, m'ya la ä m'ya, nghnumi he la kpamie hngalangnak am awm; Jesuh Khritaw üng nami van pum mata nami kyaki.
29 And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
Khritawa ka nami kya üng Abrahama mjükphyüi hea kya u lü Pamhnama khyütam nami yah khai.
