Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified?
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 from you, Received ye 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 ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in 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 Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain.
Nami hmuh ngjak he avan amdanga kyaki tinak aw? Iyaw hlenga ta kya vü.
5 He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of 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 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
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 therefore that they which be of faith, the same are sons 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 would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, [saying], In thee shall all the 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 So then they which be of faith are blessed with the 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 which continueth not in all things that 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 Now that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live 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 and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them 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 redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become 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 upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through 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 men: Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto.
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 Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to 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; A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none 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 is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted 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 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; [and it was] ordained through angels by 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 [a mediator] of one; but God is one.
Acunsepi khyang mat däng a bawi üng ngsä mat am hlü ti; Mhnam ta mat däng ni.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of 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 Howbeit the scripture hath shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in 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 faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Cunsepi jumeinaka kcün am a pha law ham üng, jumeinak a ngdang law veicäpa Thum naw thawngkyuma mäiha jah küpki.
24 So that the law hath been our tutor [to bring us] unto 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 now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Atuh jumeinaka kcün pha lawki. Thum naw am jah ngkhahpüi ti.
26 For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.
Jumnak am Khritaw Jesuh üng Pamhnama ca nami kya bäihki.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ.
Khritaw üng baptican nami khanki; amät Khritaw nami suiawiki ni.
28 There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female: for ye all are one [man] 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 ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise.
Khritawa ka nami kya üng Abrahama mjükphyüi hea kya u lü Pamhnama khyütam nami yah khai.
