Galatians 3

1 O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth — before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

Maw Galati mi mawmaw te, thinglamte tung a ki khai Jesus Christ sia note mai ah a kilangtak in hong kilak zo a, thuman zui ngawl tu in akua in hong bum ziam?

2 this only do I wish to learn from you — by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

Note in thukham na zui na uh tungtawn in Thaa na sang uh ziam, a hibale nazak uh thu na upna uh tungtawn in a hi ziam? hi thu bek note tung pan ka he nuam hi.

3 so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?

Mawmaw lalawm nu ziam? Thaa taw na kipan zo uh a, tu in note in cilesa taw tawpsak tu nu ziam?

4 so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

Hi thu tu dong in a luithathong in a om lai le, na tampi sia a luithathong in thuak na hi uh ziam?

5 He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you — by works of law or by the hearing of faith [is it]?

Tua ahikom note tung ah na a seam Thaa in note sung ah nalamdang te a vawtna sia thukham zui na tungtawn a hi ziam, a hibale na zak uh thu upna tungtawn ziam?

6 according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;

Abraham in Pathian um a, tua a upna sia thutang suana in ceptesak hi.

7 know ye, then, that those of faith — these are sons of Abraham,

Tua ahikom upna a nei peuma sia Abraham tate a hihi, ci sia note in he ta tun.

8 and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham —

Laithiangtho in, upna tungtawn in Gentile mite sia Pathian in thutang suaksak tu hi, ci a lak khol hu in, nangma tungtawn in minam theampo in thupha sang tu hi, ci in Abraham tung ah lungdamna thupha son zo hi, ci hi.

9 'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,

Tua ahikom upna a nei peuma sia a muantak Abraham taw thupha sang hi.

10 for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed [is] every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law — to do them,'

Banghangziam cile thukham zuina a suang theampo sia hamsiatna nuai ah om hi: banghangziam cile, thukham laibu sung ah a ki at theampo a ban a ban in a zui suak ngawl peuma hamsiatna thuak hi, ci in ki at hi.

11 and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;'

Ahihang Pathian mai ah kuama thukham tungtawn in thutang suasak na nga ngawl hi, ci thu thiangtak in kilang hi: banghangziam cile a thutang mihing sia upna tungtawn in nungta tu hi.

12 and the law is not by faith, but — 'The man who did them shall live in them.'

Taciang thukham sia upna taw kisai ngawl hi: ahihang, thukham a zui peuma thukham sung ah nungta tu hi.

13 Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

Christ sia eite atu in hamsiatna thuak a, thukham hamsiatna sung pan in hong tan zo hi: banghangziam cile thing tung ah a ki khai peuma hamsiatna thuak a hihi, ci in ki at hi:

14 that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

Taciang Jesus Christ tungtawn in Abraham thupha sia Gentile mite tung ah a thet thei natu le, eite in upna tungtawn in Thaa kamciam i nga thei natu a hihi.

15 Brethren, as a man I say [it], even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,

Suapui te awng, mihing ngeina bang in kong son hi; mihing kamciam ahihang, a kipsak sa ahile, kuama in vawkthong ngawl hi, zong belap thua ngawl hi.

16 and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

Tu in Abraham le a suanlepal te tung ah kamciam te vawt hi, Mi tampi bang in, suanlepal te, ci ngawl hi; ahihang khat bang in, na suan, ci hi, tua thu sia Christ a hihi.

17 and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

Hi thu kong son hi, Pathian in Christ sung ah a kipsak kamciam sia kum zali le sawm thum zawkciang zong thukham in vawk thei ngawl hi, tabang in kamciam sia a mannung ngawl suaksak thei ngawl hi.

18 for if by law [be] the inheritance, [it is] no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant [it].

Banghangziam cile ngamh sia thukham taw kisai ahile, kamciam taw kisai hong suak hi: ahihang hi ngamh sia Pathian in Abraham tung ah kamciam tungtawn in a piak a hihi.

19 Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator —

Tabang ahile banghang in thukham pia ziam? Hi thu sia kamciam a piak Abraham i suan a thet mateng thukham paltan te hu in a ki belap a hihi; taciang hi thu sia palai seam pa i khutsung ah vantungmi te i a piak nasep a hihi.

20 and the mediator is not of one, and God is one —

Tu in palai sia mihing khat atu hi ngawl hi, ahihang Pathian sia khat a hihi.

21 the law, then, [is] against the promises of God? — let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

Tabang ahile thukham in Pathian kamciam te langpan a hi ziam? Langpan ngawl hi: banghangziam cile nuntakna a pia thei thukham om hile, thutang suana sia thukham tungtawn vateak in hongpai tu hi.

22 but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

Ahihang a um peuma sia Jesus Christ upna tungtawn in kamciam piak tu in laithiangtho in mi theampo sia mawna nuai ah khum siat hi.

23 And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,

Ahihang upna hong thet mateng, hong ki lang pheang tu upna sung ah hong khum a thukham nuai ah hong keam a hihi.

24 so that the law became our child-conductor — to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

Tua ahikom in upna tungtawn in thutang suana i nga thei natu in, Christ kung ah hong paipui tu in eite hong keamcing sia thukham a hihi.

25 and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,

Ahihang tua upna a thet zawkciang in, eite hong keamcing sia i nuai ah i om nawn bua hi.

26 for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

Banghangziam cile note theampo sia Christ Jesus upna tungtawn in Pathian tate na hi uh hi.

27 for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

Banghangziam cile Christ sung ah tuiphumna a sang peuma in Christ sil zo na hi uh hi.

28 there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

Judah le Greek ci om ngawl, sal le a suakta ci zong om ngawl hi, numei le pa ci zong om ngawl hi: banghangziam cile note theampo Christ Jesus sung ah khat na hi uh hi.

29 and if ye [are] of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise — heirs.

Taciang Christ i neisa na hi uh le, Abraham i suanlepal na hi uh hi, taciang kamciam bang in ngamh lua te na hi uh hi.
