Galatians 5
1 Stand fast, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ has freed us, and be not again held fast in the yoke of bondage.
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 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
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 And I testify, moreover, to every circumcised person, that he is a debtor to do 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 are loosed from Christ, who are justified by the law; you have fallen from favor.
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 we, through the Spirit, look for the hope of righteousness by faith.
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 avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith, which works by 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 did run well: who has hindered 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 This persuasion comes not from him who called you.
Marah ih poon tahan erah Rangte taangnawa tah angka.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole mass.
“Cham hantek ah jen pookphak thuk suh to amasah ang abah uh laaleh ang ah,” neng ih emah ih li rumta.
10 I am persuaded concerning you, by the Lord, that you will think nothing differently from me: but he who troubles you shall bear the punishment, whosoever he 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 But I, brethren, if I now proclaim circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Certainly the offense of the cross is 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 I wish, indeed, they were cut off who subvert you.
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, brethren, have been called into liberty; only use not this liberty for an occasion to the flesh; but through love, assiduously serve one another.
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 For the whole law is fulfilled by one precept, even by this, "You shall 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 bite and devour one another, take care lest you 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 I say, then, walk by the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust 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 lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things you would.
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 law.
Chiiala ih siit hoobah, Hootthe lakhui nah tah angko.
19 Now, the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these. Fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Marah mina thung nawa ih reela ah rangkhoh ni. Erah ih jaaro jaalah ethih tenthun, esot, jaathih reeraang ah noisok thuk ha;
20 sorcery, enmities, strifes, emulations, wraths, brawlings, factions, sects,
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 envying, murders, intoxications, revelings, and such like: concerning which I foretell you now, as I also have foretold, that they who practice these things shall 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, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity,
Enoothong Chiiala ibah minchan, tenroon, semroongroong, enaan, tenthet, ese, tuungmaang theng ah dong thuk ah,
23 meekness, temperance: 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 Besides, they who are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts.
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 also walk by the Spirit.
Chiiala ih seng roidong ah koh hali; heh ih uh sengtong sengtha adoh hompan eh he.
26 Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
Seng loong ah engaam lah etheng, elong tenthun, esiit esiit lah khat haatmui theng eno miksuk mui nak etheng.
