Galatians 4
1 Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth in no respect from a bond-servant, though he is lord of all;
Inge nga sifilpa tafwela in fahk — sie wen su ac fah usrui ma lun papa tumal el tia ekla liki sie mwet kulansap in kutena ma ke el srakna fusr, finne pwaye ma lal pa ma nukewa.
2 but is under guardians and stewards, until the time appointed by the father.
Ke pacl el srak fusr, oasr mwet liyalang ac oru orekma lal nwe ke pacl se papa tumal sulela.
3 So also we, when we were children, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world;
In ouiya se pacna inge, ke pacl se srakna srikla etauk lasr ke moul in ngun, kut oana mwet sruoh nu sin ngun lusrongten ma leumi faclu.
4 but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
Na ke sun pacl fal, God El supwama Wen natul, su isusla sin sie mutan ac moul ye Ma Sap lun mwet Jew,
5 to redeem those under the Law, that we might be adopted as sons.
in tuh molelosla su muta ye Ma Sap, tuh kut nukewa in ku in ekla tulik nutin God.
6 And to show that ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father!
In akkalemye lah kowos ma natul, God El supwama Ngun lun Wen natul nu insiasr — ngun se su oru kut ku in wi fahk, “Papa, Papa.”
7 So then thou art no longer a bond-servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
Ke ma inge kom tia sifilpa mwet kulansap, a kom sie wen. Ac ke kom wen natul, na kom fah usrui ma nukewa su God El karingin nu sin tulik natul.
8 But at that time, indeed, when ye knew not God, ye were in slavery to those who in their nature are not gods;
In pacl meet ah kowos tia etu God, ouinge kowos kulansupu ma pilasr su tia god pwaye.
9 but now, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how is it that ye are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments to which ye wish to be again in bondage?
A inge ke kowos etu God tari — ku fal pac ngan fahk mu, ke God El etekowos — fuka tuh kowos lungse in sifil folokla nu yurin ngun lusrongten lun faclu su munas ac tia ku in oru kutena ma? Efu kowos ku lungse in sifilpa mwet kohs nu ke ma ingan?
10 Do ye observe days, and months, and times, and years?
Kowos arulana oaru in srela ac akfulatye kutu len, ku malem, ku pulan pacl, ku yac.
11 I fear for you, lest I may have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
Nga fosrnga keiwos! Ya pwaye lah orekma luk yuruwos uh ac wangin sripa?
12 Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as ye are; ye injured me in nothing.
Nga kwafe nu suwos, mwet lili ac lulu, tuh kowos in oana nga. Tuh nga oapana kowos. Wangin ma kowos oru koluk nu sik.
13 Nay, ye know that it was on account of an infirmity of the flesh that I preached the gospel to you the former time,
Kowos esam na lah nga tuh mas ke pacl se oemeet ma nga fahkak ke wosasu nu suwos.
14 and my trial which was in my flesh ye did not despise nor spurn; but received me as an angel of God, yea, as Christ Jesus.
Mas luk uh finne mwe elya yohk nu suwos, a kowos tia pilesreyu ku sisyula. A kowos tuh eisyu oana sie lipufan inkusrao me, ac paingyu oana kowos in paing Christ Jesus.
15 How great then was your boasting of happiness! for I bear you witness, that if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and have given them to me.
Na pia engan se ma kowos tuh pulakin meet ah? Nga ku na in fahk mu funu ma ku, kowos lukun tipalla atronmotowos use luk.
16 So then, have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
Ya nga ekla mwet lokoalok lowos ke sripen nga fahkak ma pwaye nu suwos?
17 They show a zeal for you, but not in honesty; yea, they wish to exclude you, that ye may be zealous for them.
Mwet luti saya ingan elos arulana lohwot nu suwos, tusruktu nunak lalos an tia ma ac wo nu suwos. Elos kena srikowosla likiyu, tuh kowos in mau lohang yohk nu selos oana ke elos oru nu suwos.
18 But it is good to be an object of zeal in what is good always, and not only when I am present with you.
Pacl nukewa, ma na wo se in lohang nu ke ma oasr sripa, nga finne tia muta yuruwos.
19 My children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you, —
Tulik kulo nutik, keok luk keiwos oana keok se ma mutan uh pula ke elos isus uh, nwe ke na ouiyen moul lun Christ oan in kowos.
20 I could wish indeed to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am in perplexity about you.
Aok nga kena nga in muta yuruwos inge, tuh ngan ku in ekulla ouiyen nunak luk keiwos. Nga arulana fosrnga keiwos!
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law, do ye not hear the Law?
Kutu suwos lungse na in muta ye Ma Sap. Nga ke siyuk suwos, ya kowos tia lohng ma Ma Sap uh fahk?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons; the one by the bondwoman, the other by the freewoman.
Fahk mu oasr wen luo natul Abraham: sie ma natul sin mutan kulansap se, ac sie ma natul sin mutan kial, su tia mutan kulansap se, a sukosok.
23 But the one by the bondwoman was born after the flesh; while the one by the freewoman was through the promise.
Wen se nutin mutan kulansap sac isusla oana isus lun tulik nukewa, a wen se natul sin mutan kial el isusla ke sripen oasr Wuleang lun God kacl.
24 Which things are written allegorically; for these women are two covenants; the one from Mount Sinai, who beareth children into bondage, which is Hagar;
Ma inge oana sie pupulyuk, mweyen mutan luo inge ku in lumweyuk nu ke wuleang luo. El su oswela tulik nu ke sruoh pa Hagar, su oana wuleang se ma orekla Fineol Sinai.
25 for the word Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; and she corresponds to the Jerusalem now existing, for she is in bondage with her children;
Hagar se inge pa Eol Sinai in Arabia, ac ku in lumweyuk nu ke siti lun Jerusalem in pacl inge, su muta in sruoh wi mwet we nukewa.
26 but the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
A Jerusalem se inkusrao el sukosok, ac el pa nina kiasr.
27 For it is written: “Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for many are the children of the desolate one, rather than of her who hath the husband.”
Tuh Ma Simusla fahk mu, “Kom in engan, kom su talap ac tia isus! Srukak pusrem ac wowoyak ke engan, kom su tia pulakin keok in isus! Tuh mutan se su mukul tumal ah sisulla, ac fah pus tulik natul Liki mutan se su mukul tumal el mutana yorol.”
28 But ye, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of a promise.
Inge, mwet lili ac lulu, kowos tulik nutin God, fal nu ke wuleang lal, oapana Isaac.
29 But as at that time he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born through the Spirit, so it is now.
In pacl sac, wen se su tuh isusla oana tulik nukewa, el kalyei el su isusla fal nu ke wuleang lun Ngun lun God; na ouiya se inge orek na nwe ke pacl inge.
30 But 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.”
Na mea Ma Simusla fahk? “Lusla mutan kulansap sac ac wen natul, tuh wangin ip lun wen nutin mutan kulansap sac ke mwe usru lun papa tumal, yurin wen nutin mutan sokosok sac.”
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the freewoman.
Ke ma inge, mwet lili ac lulu, kut tia tulik nutin mutan kulansap, a kut ma nutin mutan sukosok.
