Galatians 4
1 Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Rhopangkung te cahmang la a om khui boeih atah sal khaw, boei khaw, aka om boeih te a tanglue tloe moenih ka ti coeng.
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Tedae pa kah a tuetang duela imtawt neh hnokhoem kut hmuiah a om sak.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Te dongah mamih khaw cahmang la n'om uh vaengah Diklai kah a niing hmuiah sal aka bi la n'om?
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Tedae a tue a soepnah loh ha pawk vaengah Pathen loh a capa te han tueih. Huta lamloh om tih olkhueng hmuiah phoe.
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Te daengah ni olkhueng hmuikah rhoek te a tlan eh. Te daengah ni a. cacah la m'phaeng eh.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Te dongah ca rhoek la na om uh coeng. Abba apa tila aka pang a capa kah Mueihla te Pathen loh mamih thinko ah han tueih.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Te dongah sal voel pawt tih ca la na om uh coeng. Ca tah Pathen rhangneh rhopangkung la om van.
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Tedae Pathen ana ming pawt vaengah a coengnah loh pathen la aka om pawt rhoek kah sal na bi uh.
9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Tedae Pathen te mingpha coeng ta. Te dongah Pathen loh lat m'ming ta. Metlae tattloel neh a niing aka khodaeng taengla koep na mael uh. Te rhoek taengah salbi ham koekhoek koep na ngaih uh.
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Khohnin khaw, hla khaw, khoning khaw, kum khaw na yaeh uh coeng.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Nangmih ham ka thakthae he a hoeihae pawt khaming tila nangmih taengah ka birhih.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I [am]; for I [am] as ye [are]: ye have not injured me at all.
Kai bangla om uh lah. Kai khaw nangmih vanbang ni tila manuca rhoek nangmih te kan hloep. Kai nan veet uh moenih.
13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
Tedae a cuekca kah nangmih taengah ka phong te pumsa kah vawtthoek dongah tila na ming uh.
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus.
Ka pumsa ah nangmih ham noemcainah om cakhaw nan hnaelcoe uh pawt tih nan tuei uh moenih. Tedae Pathen kah puencawn bangla, Jesuh Khrih bangla kai nan doe uh.
15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if [it had been] possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
Te koinih nangmih kah yoethennah tah menim? A phoeng mai koinih na mik te na koeih uh tih kai nan paek uh mako tila nangmih taengah ka laipai.
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Nangmih ham oltak ka thui dongah nangmih kah rhal la ka coeng a?
17 They zealously affect you, [but] not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
Nangmih taengah a thatlai uh te thuem pawh. Tedae nangmih te khoe a ngaih uh daengah amih te na thatlai thil uh mako.
18 But [it is] good to be zealously affected always in [a] good [thing], and not only when I am present with you.
Tedae a then la thatlai ham tah then yoeyah ngawn. Te dongah nangmih taengkah ka om rhuet bueng moenih.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Ka ca rhoek nangmih ah Khrih a kap duela u ham nim ka bung a tloh bal.
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
Te dongah nangmih taengah om laeh ka ngaih coeng. Ka ol te thovael ham khaw nangmih soah ka ingang coeng.
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
Kai taengah thui uh lah. Olkhueng hmuiah om ham aka ngaih rhoek, olkhueng te na ya uh mahnim?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Abraham loh capa panit a khueh te a daek coeng ta. Pakhat te salnu kah tih pakhat te aka loeih nu kah ta.
23 But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.
Tedae salnu kah te tah pumsa la a cun. Aka loeih nu kah te tah olkhueh lamloh a cun.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Amih rhoi loh a tueng sak te om. Amih rhoi tah paipi panit la om. Pakhat tah Sinai tlang lamkah tih sal la a cun. Anih tah Hagar ni.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Hagar tah Arabia kah Sinai tlang coeng ni. Tahae kah Jerusalem banghui la, a ca rhoek taengah sal a bi.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Tedae soben Jerusalem tah aka loeih ni. Anih tah mamih kah manu ni.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, [thou] barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
A daek coeng te ta, Cakol la cacun mueh aw uum khungdaeng lamtah bung aka tlo pawt aw tamhoe lah. Va aka khueh lakah khosoek kah camoe tah taoe ping ta.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Manuca rhoek nangmih ngawn tah Isaak bangla olkhueh kah ca rhoek la na om uh.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.
Tedae pumsa la a cun loh mueihla la cun te a hnaemtak vanbangla tahae ah khaw om van tangloeng.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Tedae cacim loh, “Salnu neh a capa te haek laeh. Salnu kah a capa te aka loeih nu kah capa taengah phaeng loengloeng boel saeh,” a ti te ta.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Te dongah manuca rhoek salnu kah voel pawt tih aka loeih kah ca rhoek la n'om uh.
