Galatians 4
1 But I say, that the heir, so long as he is a child, differeth not from a servant, although he is lord of all;
Cunsepi, hin kba pyen be tü veng: a pa khawh mkhäm khaia ahmäi cun capa a ka vai kyase pi a nghmaw ham üng cun m'ya mäiha ni ngaih khawi.
2 but he is under supervisors and stewards, until the time established by his father.
A nghmaw ham üng a pa naw a mhnütnaka kcün am a pha ham üng msumcei khaia khyang he awmki he.
3 So also we, while we were children, were in subordination under the elements of the world.
Acukba mimi pi ngmüimkhya lama am mi xüxam ham üng cun khawmdek ukia ngmüimkhya he keha m'ya mi kyaki.
4 But when the consummation of the time arrived, God sent forth his Son; and he was from a woman, and was under the law;
Cunsepi akcüna pha law üng Pamhnam naw amäta Capa a tüih law. Nghngicim nghnumia capa mäiha law lü Judah he Thuma keha xüngseiki,
5 that he might redeem them that were under the law; and that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Thuma keha awmki he jah thawng se, Pamhnama ca he mi kya lawnak vaia kyaki.
6 And, because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, who crieth, Father, our Father.
A ca he nami kyanak mdanak vaia Pamhnam naw a Capaa Ngmüimkhya cun nami mlung k’uma a tüih law. Acuna Ngmüimkhya naw, “Ka Pa, ka Pa” tia ngpyangki.
7 Wherefore, ye are no longer servants, but sons; and if sons, then heirs of God; through Jesus the Messiah.
Acunakyase m'yaa am kya ti u lü capa nami kyaki. A capa nami kya pängkia kyase Pamhnam naw a capaa phäh vai a tak avan ning jah pe khai.
8 For then, when ye knew not God, ye served them who in their nature are not gods.
Tuhkbäih Pamhnam nami ksingki am acunüng Pamhnam naw ning jah ksingki ti veng. Ise a ktha kcek lü m'yenei phyakia ngmüimkhya veia nami nglat be vai nami ngaihki ni.
9 But now, since ye have known God, or rather, have been known by God, ye turn yourselves again to the weak and beggarly elements, and wish again to be under them!
Mhnam nami ksing kän la Mhnam naw a ning jah ksing käna, Ise am ktha mah lü m'yenei phyakia ngmüimkhya veia nami nghlat be vai nami ngaihki ni ti pyen hlü veng? Ise acun hea m'ya nami kya vai cun nami ngaih beki ni?
10 Ye observe days and moons, and set times, and years!
Khawmhmüp he, nghngi khya he, akcün he la khawkum he, nami jah künaki.
11 I am afraid, lest I have labored among you in vain.
Ning jah cäi na veng! Nami phäha ka kthanak avan amdanga kya khai aw?
12 Be ye like me; because I have been like you.
Ka püi he aw, “Keia mäiha awm u” tia ning jah nghui na veng. Nangmia mäih ka lawki. Akse ka khana nami bi am ve.
13 My brethren, I beseech you. Ye have not injured me at all. For ye know, that under the infirmity of my flesh, I at first announced the gospel to you;
Akcüka nami veia ivai thangkdaw ka pyen ni ti cen süm ua; am ka phetyaia phäha kyaki ni.
14 and the trial in my flesh, ye did not despise nor nauseate: but ye received me as an angel of God, and as Jesus the Messiah.
Ka pumsa üng am ka phetyainak cen nami hama khameinaka kyase pi am na hmumsit u lü, am nami na yawkinki. Khankhaw üngka khankhawngsä mata mäiha nami na dokhamki. Jesuh Khritawa mäiha nami na dokhamki.
15 Where then is your blessedness? For I testify of you, that if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and have given them to me.
Aktäa nami jekyaiki! Ise ni? Akya thei vai sü ta nami mik pi lo u lü nami na pe khai sü ti kamät naw pyen thei veng.
16 Have I become an enemy to you, by preaching to you the truth?
Ngthungtak ka ning jah mtheha phäha nami yea ka kya lawki aw?
17 They are zealous towards you, yet not for good; but they wish to shut you up, that ye may be zealous towards them.
Khyang kce he naw ning jah kü na leng lengkia mäiha awmki he, cunsepi ami ning jah künak am daw. Ami ning jah künaka kba nami jah künak be vaia phäha kei üngka ning jah mtai hlü ve u.
18 And it is a good thing to be zealous at all times in good things; and not merely when I am present with you.
Bünak a daw üng ta künak hin dawki ni. Nami hlawnga ka awma kcün däng üng am kyakia nami hlawnga am ka awm üng pi.
19 Ye are my children, of whom I travail in birth again, till the Messiah be formed in you.
Ka cana he aw, Khritawa ngneiksak nangmi üng am a awm hama küt üng ta nghnumi naw a ca law vai üng a huieia kba nami hama na huiei ve.
20 And I could wish to be now with you, and to change the tone of my voice; because I am astonished at you.
Atuh nami hlawnga ka ve vai ngaih veng. Ahin kba am ka ning jah tinak vai sü. Aktäa ning jah cäi na veng.
21 Tell me, ye who desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
Thuma keha awm hlüki he ning jah kthäh vang: Thum naw i a pyen am nami ngjaki aw?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondmaid, and one by the free woman.
Abraham naw cangpyang nghngih ca naki. Mat m'yanua ca kya lü mat cun m'yanu am nikia ca kyaki.
23 But he that was by the bond maid, was born after the flesh; and he that was by the free woman, was by the promise.
M'yanu am ani ca cun pumsa thuma hmi lü, m'yanu am niki am ani ca cun khyütama thuma hmi lawkia kyaki tia pyenki.
24 And these are allegorical of the two covenants; the one from mount Sinai, which bringeth forth for bondage, is Hagar.
Acuna ngthu cun msuimcäpnaka kyaki ti ksing theia kyaki; acuna nghnuminu xawi cun ngthumkhän nghngiha kyaki xawi. M'ya jah ca nakia nghnumi Hakarah cun Sinai mcung üng pawha ngthumkhäna kyaki.
25 For Hagar is the mount Sinai in Arabia, and correspondeth with the present Jerusalem, and is serving in bondage, she and her children.
Arab khawa Sinai mcunga nghnün üng ngdüikia Hakarah cun, tuhkbäih Jerusalem a khyang he mah mah am m'yaa kyaki msuimcäpnaka kyaki.
26 But the Jerusalem above, is the free woman, who is the mother of us.
Cunsepi khankhaw Jerusalem cun m'ya am kyakia kyase, acun cun mi nua kyaki.
27 For it is written, Be joyful, thou barren, who bearest not: exult and shout, thou who hast not travailed: for more numerous are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman.
“Na cingkia nghnumi jekyaia! Na am pawi na khawi lü na hmia natnak am na khamei khawiki je lü ngpyanga! A cei naw am a yawk khawia nghnumia kthaka a cei naw am a ktä naw hnasen da na bawk khai” tia cangcim naw pyenki.
28 Now we, my brethren, like Isaac, are the children of the promise.
Acunakyase ka püi he aw, nangmi cun Isaka mäiha khyütama phäha Pamhnama ca hea nami kyaki.
29 And as then, he that was born after the flesh, persecuted him who was born of the Spirit; so also is it now.
Acuna kcün üng pumsa thuma hmi lawki naw Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya thuma hmi lawki a mkhuimkha khawia kba; tuhkbäih pi acuna mäih lawki.
30 But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondmaid, and her son; because the son of the bondmaid shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.
Cunsepi, cangcim naw, “M'yanu cun a capa am jah ksäta; m'yanua capa naw ä m'yanua capa khawh ä mkhämpüi khai” tia a pyen.
31 So then, my brethren, we are not sons of the bond-woman, but sons of the free woman.
Acunakyase ka püi he aw, mimi cun m'yanua ca am mi kya u lü ä m'yanua ca hea mi kyaki.
