Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---Free-Bible-Version ~ Galatians Chapter 4

< Galatians 4 >

1 Let me explain what I'm saying. An heir who is under-age is no different from a slave, even though the heir may be the owner of everything.

Nikhomsenla, keiman ki ti nuom chu, nâi, a pa rochon murdi luo rangpu hah nâipang a lani kâr chu suok leh ite tei uol mak, neinun murdi a ta ni let khom rese.

2 An heir is subject to guardians and managers until the time set by the father.

Nâipang a lani sûng kâr chu, a pa zora khâm atung mâka chu a donsûipu le a rochon jêkpepu a om ngâi ani.

3 It's just the same for us. When we were children, we were slaves subject to the basic rules of the law.

Ma anghan eini khom ratha tieng ulien eini mân chu, rammuol ratha saloi ruoina nuoia suok ei chang ani.

4 But at the appropriate time God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the rule of law,

Aniatachu, zora khâm a hong tung tik han, Pathien'n a nâipasal a juongtîr ani. Mahan nupang sûnga inzirin, Juda balam nuoia a lênga;

5 so that he could rescue those who were kept under the rule of law, so that we could receive the inheritance of adopted children.

Pathien nâingei ni theina ranga Balam nuoia om ngei murdi mirtan rangin.

6 To show you are his children, God sent the Spirit of his Son to convince us, causing us to call out, “Abba,” meaning “Father.”

Hanchu, a nâingei nin ni ti rietnân, Pathien'n a Nâipasal Ratha hah ei mulungrîla a juongtîra, Ratha han, “Abba” O Pa tiin ei iniek ngâi ani.

7 Since you are now no longer a slave, but a child, and if you are his child, then God has made you his heir.

Masika han, suok ni khâi mak cheia, nâi nin ni zoi. Hanchu, nâi nin nina sikin Pathien'n a nâingei ranga ânkhâm murdi hah nangni pêk a tih.

8 At the time when you didn't know God, you were enslaved by the supposed “gods” of this world.

Tienlâi hanchu Pathien la riet mak cheia, masikin pathien ni ngâiloi ngei suoka nin om ngâi.

9 But now you've come to know God—or better, to be known by God. So how can you go back to those useless and worthless rules? Do you want to be slaves to those rules all over again?

Ania atûn chu Pathien nin hong riet zoia, nônchu Pathien'n nangni riet suonûkin, inmo adok le inrieng om ratha ngei ruoina dikloi tieng inhei nôk rang nin nuoma? Inmo an suok chang nôkrêk rangin nin nuoma?

10 You're observing special days and months, seasons and years.

Nangnin nikhuongei, thâ ngei, kumtentana ngei, kumngei, nin ser ngâia.

11 I'm concerned that all I did for you has been wasted!

Nin chungroi nangni ka kamâm sabak ani! Ninta ranga ki sin murdi mangmunboi achang rang mini?

12 I'm pleading with you, my friends: be like me, because I became like you. You've never treated me badly.

Ka malngei, nangni anga ko om anghin nangni khom keima anghin om roi, tiin nangni ke ngên. Nangnin adikloiin ite mi lo mak chei.

13 You remember that it was because I was sick that I shared with you the good news on my first visit.

Ka damloina sikin motontaka thurchisa nangni ki ril hah nangnîn nin rieta.

14 Even though my illness was difficult for you, you didn't despise or reject me—in fact you treated me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.

Ka taksa dingmun hah nangni ranga minsinna lientak khom nisenla, mi mumâkin ni hengpai mak chei. Ma-ang nêkhan invâna vântîrton anghan le Khrista Jisua anghan mi nin modôm ani.

15 So what's happened to all your gratefulness? I tell you, back then if you could have pulled out your eyes and given them to me, you would have!

Nin râiasân bâka! itho mo? thei nisenla chu nin mitngei khom kêlpai nin ta mipêk nin tih ki ti thei.

16 So what has happened—have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Chongdik hah nangni ki ril sikin nin râl ka chang zoi mo?

17 These people are keen to gain your support, but not for any good reasons. On the contrary, they want to keep you away from us so that you will enthusiastically support them.

Midangngei han lunghâng nangni an tho sabak, ania an mindona sa mak. An nuom tak chu keima leh nangni minsen rang, hanke lunghâng nangni an tho anghan, nangni khomin lunghâng nin tho ngei rang hah ani.

18 Of course it's good to want to do good. But this should be at all times, not just when I'm there with you!

Mindonna asa anîn chu ma anga lunghângna hi khotik khom asa ani, nin kôma ko om lâi vai niloiin.

19 My dear friends, I want to work with you until Christ's character is duplicated in you.

Ka nâi moroingei! avêllin voikhat, Khrista nina hah nin kôm sin mindetin a om mâka chu nupang nâiha phut anape ngâi anga na han nin rang sikin ku tuong ani.

20 I really wish I could be with you right now so I could change my tone of voice… I'm so worried about you.

Male atûn hin nin kôm honga chong rôlûm dangin thurchi misîr ku nuoma; ithomo ei tiin chu nin chungroi ka kângdoi sabak ani.

21 Answer me this, you people who want to live under the law: Don't you hear what the law is saying?

Balam nuoia om nuomngei hah, nangni rekel rong; Balamin ai ti hah nin rietloi mo?

22 As Scripture says, Abraham had two sons, one from the servant girl, and one from the free woman.

Ma anghin a ti, Abraham'n nâipasal inik a dôna inkhat chu a suoknu nâi ania, inkhat chu suok niloinu nâi ani.

23 However, the son from the servant girl was born following a human plan, while the son from the free woman was born as the result of the promise.

Suoknu leh an nâi hah chu taksa balam anghan ânzira, suok niloinu leh an nâi ha chu Pathien chongkhâm sikin ânzir iti hih.

24 This provides an analogy: these two women represent two agreements. One agreement is from Mount Sinai—Hagar—and she gives birth to slave children.

Ma chong hah chongmintêka riet thei ani; ma nupang inik ngei hah chonginkhit inik an ni. A nâingei suoknu renga ânzir a nu hah Hagar ania, Sinai tânga chonginkhit hah ani.

25 Hagar symbolizes Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the current Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.

Male Hagar hah Arabia rama Sinai tâng hah ania, atûnlâia Jerusalem khuopuiliena mi murdi ngei le suoka omngei leh hin munkhat an ni.

26 But the heavenly Jerusalem is free. She is our mother.

Hannirese, suok niloinu hah chu chung tieng Jerusalem ania, suok nimaka, hanu hah ei nû ani.

27 As Scripture says, “Rejoice you who are childless and who have never given birth! Shout aloud for joy, you who have never been in labor—for the abandoned woman has more children than the woman who has a husband!”

Pathien lekhabu'n; “Nangma aching nâi nei ngâi loi, Na râiminsân roh! Nangma nâiha la doi tet ngâiloi, Râisânin tânghâi roh! Nupang a pasalin ai mathân tet ngâiloi nu Nêkin nupang mi imâknu han nâi nei mintam uol a tih,” tiin ânziek sikin.

28 Now my friends, we are children of promise just like Isaac.

Atûn nangni ka malngei, eini khom Isaac anghan Pathien chongkhâm nâingei eini.

29 However, just as the one born according to a human plan persecuted the one born through the Spirit, so it is today.

Ma zora lâihan, taksa balama suokpu han Pathien Ratha lama suokpu hah deng-amintheia, atûn hin khom ma anghan ani.

30 But what does Scripture say? “Send away the servant girl and her son, for the son of the servant girl will not be an heir together with the son of the free woman.”

Aniatachu Pathien lekhabu'n imo ai ti hah? “Suoknu le a nâipasal chu rujûlpai roh; suoknu nâipasal han suok niloinu nâipasal leh a pa rochon luopui thei no nih.

31 Therefore, my friends, we're not children of a servant girl, but of the free woman.

Masikin, ka malngei, suoknu nâingei ni mak mea, suok niloinu nâingei kêng eini.”
