Galatians 3
1 Foolish Galatians! Who has put a spell on you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly displayed as crucified.
Thungko Galati mina loong! Ngo moontoro ih me tahan? Jisu Kristo bangphak ni tiita rah sen mik ih jatririh tup etan!
2 This is the only thing I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by believing what you heard?
Jaatsiit than baat thaak he: Rangte Chiiala ah Hootthe ih jamha jun ih re anno tam cholan tam aleh ruurangese ah chaat anno hanpi han jun ih cholan?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now going to finish by the flesh?
Sen erah than thungko mamah ma lah angtan! Rangte Chiiala nawa ih phang motan ah; amadoh senchaan senphaan nawa ih thoon moot ih tam jam han?
4 Have you suffered so many things for nothing—if indeed it was for nothing?
Sen ih timjih jat han erah nawa ih reetan abah tim uh tah angka? Amiisak timjaat bah uh eje mok ang ah!
5 Does he who gives the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by the works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
Hootthe jun ih re kanno tam aleh ruurangese ah hanpi kanno Chiiala ih sen dung ni mih paatja theng jen re hala?
6 Just as Abraham “believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness,”
Abraham ih jatta ah taat jat thaak an; Rangteele ni raangha likhiik ah, “Heh ih Rangte ah hanpi eta, timnge liidih heh tuungmaang jeethoi Rangte ih heh ah kateng eh thiikta.”
7 in the same way, understand, then, that those of faith are the children of Abraham.
An ih ejat ejih, marah jinni tuungmaang jeela erah mina loong ah Abraham sutoom satoom.
8 The scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
Rangteele ni ban baatta Rangte ih Ranglajatte loong ah neng tuungmaang jun ih heh damdoh jen punthuk ah. Erah thoi Rangteele ni Ruurang Ese ah Abraham suh amah ih baatta: “An jun ih mina loong suh romseetam ah korum ah.”
9 So then, those of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Abraham ih hanpiita eno romseetam ah chota; erah raangtaan ih ngo ih heh ah hanpiiha loong asuh romseetam korumta.
10 All who rely on the works of the law are under a curse; and so it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the law, and do them.”
Marah mina ih Hootthe ah tuungmaang ano tongla erah mina ah romthitam khuinah tong ah. Rangteele ni emah liiha, “Ngo ang ah bah uh saarookwe Hootthe le ni raangha rah lamok kapka bah Rangte jinnah wa romthitam ah choh ah!”
11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because “the righteous will live by faith.”
Amadi jatririh angla, Hootthe jun eh Rangte damdoh ngo uh tapunka, mamah liidoh Rangteele ni liiha, “Ngo taang ni laalom jeela erah jun ibah Rangte damdoh epun, erah loong aba thingtong ah.”
12 But the law is not of faith, rather, “The person who does the works of the law must live by them.”
Enoothong Hootthe ih tuungmaang asuh tim etheng uh tah jeeka. Erah thaknang ibah, Rangteele ni raangha jun ih, “Marah Hootthe jun ih raangha thoontang jen mote mina abah thingtong ah.”
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”—
Kristo ih seng cham chojih jaatjaat angti dowa ngaak doksiit tahe; Rangteele ni liiha, “Ngo ang abah uh bang nah mok chiiti abah, erah suh Rangte ih romthih ah tam koh ah.”
14 so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Kristo ih arah reeta ah langla, Rangte ih Abraham suh kakhamta, romseetam ah Ranglajatte loong suh Jisu Kristo jun ih toom koh ah ngeh ah, erah thoi seng suh kot suh Rangte ih kakhamta Chiiala ah seng tuungmaang jun ih choh ih.
15 Brothers, let me speak in human terms. In a man-made contract, no one can set it aside or add to it, once it is established by law.
Ngaaphoh ngaano loong, ngah ih saarookwe di eto baat eh hang: wanyi ih sen thung ah room pun thun nyia punroong waan an bah, ngo ih uh edaan uh tajen daan ka ebaat uh tajen wak baatka ang ah.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. It does not say, “to descendants,” referring to many, but instead to only one, “and to your descendant,” who is Christ.
Rangte ih Abraham nyia heh sutoom satoom suh kakhamta, Rangteele ni mina hantek “Sutoom satoom loong” suh tah raangka, enoothong esiit luulu “Sutoom satoom” suh liiha, heh men ah, Kristo.
17 Now what I mean is this: The law, which came 430 years afterward, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God.
Ngah ih liihang ah langla Rangte ih Abraham suh nuumiijeng rah thiinta suh kakhamta ah suh liihang. Hootthe ah paang cha baji paang rookjom lini kota, erah kakham ah tajen phaang ka nyia Rangte nuumiijeng kakhamta ah tah ngaak daan ka ang ah.
18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, then it no longer comes by promise. But God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
Mamah liidih Rangte lakkot rah Hootthe doh mok nyaang abah, heh kakham adoh takah nyaang ka ang ah. Mamah ang abah uh erah bah Rangte ih kakhamta thoidi lakkot ah Abraham suh kota.
19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of trespasses, until the descendant of Abraham would come to whom the promise had been made. The law was put into force through angels by a mediator.
Erah ang abah, Hootthe ah timjih raangtaan ih angta? Hootthe ah ethih mootkaat loong ah noisok suh angta. Kakham hoonchoi Abraham sutoom satoom maang thokthok hootthe tong ruh eh ah. Hootthe ah rangsah loong jun ih jaachi ni kaamwah likhiik ang thuk rum ano piijah thuk rum taha.
20 Now a mediator implies more than one person, but God is one.
Enoothong, wasiit ah luulu mootkaat ah moh ah bah kaamwah ah tajamka ang ah, eno wasiit luulu ba moh ah; eno Rangte ah esiit.
21 So is the law against the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
Rangte ih kakhamta ah Hootthe damdi miksuk angla ngeh tam liiha? Emah tah angka! Mina loong ih roidong jen choh raangtaan ih Hootthe mok jam rum abah, Hootthe jun ih thoontang Rangte damdoh ejen pun et thengta.
22 But the scripture imprisoned everything under sin. God did this so that the promise to save us by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Rangteele ih liiha mongrep thoontang ah rangdah mong ni angla; eno Rangte ih heh lakkot kot suh kakhamta ah ngo ih Jisu Kristo suh tuungmaang ah erah suh koh ah.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until faith should be revealed.
Enoothong tuungmaang saapoot maangthok raadi, Hootthe ih seng loong ah phaatak ni tang khak tahe, tuungmaang saapoot maang thokthok ah.
24 So then the law became our guardian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith.
Eno laanglek Kristo maang raakraak Hootthe ah Rangte damdoh seng tuungmaang jun ih pun jun suh seng loong ban pante changte ban ang ra taha.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
Amadi juuba tuungmaang saapoot ah, Seng loong ah belam bah Hootthe lak ni takah angke.
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Sen loong thoontang Rangte suh asah ih hoon lan Jisu suh tuungmaang nyia heh dam di ang jun ih ah.
27 For as many of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Sen loong ah Jisu damdi juung roongtem an rah mina, amadi sen loong nyuh na kapchoi ang lan, erah langla Kristo roidong di angsuh liiha.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Erah raangtaan ih Jehudi nyia Grik loong ah joonsiitsiit, dasah nyia dasah lah ang ka loong ah uh tah danka, minuh miwah uh tah danka; sen loong thoontang Kristo Jisu damdi joonsiitsiit.
29 Then if you are Christ's, you are Abraham's descendants, and heirs according to promise.
An Kristo mina ang ubah, an Abraham sutoom satoom anglu, eno Rangte ih marah suh kakhamta erah echoh eh uh.
