Galatiite 4
1 Belam toombaat ibah—hewah nyamka chote ah nodek tokdi jirep ah khomchoh abah uh dah likhiik ih ang ah.
But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
2 Heh noodek ang tokdi, heh wah ih saapoot thiin kota ah maang langlang, heh sokboite mina loong rah ih tim jamha erah jam koh ah.
but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
3 Erah likhiikkhiik seng loong ah chiiala ni maang hak hak mongrep pante chiiala dah angti.
So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
4 Eno saapoot ah chang kano, Rangte ih heh Sah miimi daapkaat taha. Heh ah mina nuh lam ih raaha no Jehudi Hootthe mong ni tong ra taha,
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
5 Hootthe mong ni tongte loong ah dokrik ra taha, timnge liidih seng loong ah Rangte suh asah jen ang raangtaan ih ah.
that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
6 Rangte ih heh susah ngeh noisok halan raangtaan ih Rangte ih Chiiala seng ten ni daapkaat taha, marah Chiiala “Ewah, Ewah” kah riinghuungta rah ih ah.
And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
7 Erah ang abah, sen loong ah dasah lakah ang thang heh sah ih hoon lan. Eno amadi sen heh sah angthoi, Rangte ih heh jinni heh susah loong suh kot suh jeela erah kohan.
So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Jaakhoh ni bah sen ih Rangte ah tajattan, eno sen loong ah Rangte lah angka loong dasah ang tan.
However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
9 Enoothong belam bah sen ih Rangte ah ejat ehan—ngah ih jen li eh ang Rangte ih sen loong ah ejat ih halan—enooba sen loong larook lata nyia menmi chanke panha chiiala loong jinnah mamah ih ngaakkaat suh thun han? Erah doh dasah we hoonkaat suh mamah ih thun han?
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
10 Sen loong ih mararah heh rangwuung, heh la, rangkuh, nyia heh paang ah hoondak ih bansok han.
You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
11 Ngah sen suh esootsaam elang! Ngah sen raangtaan ih molang ah thaangmuh doh tam ang kah ah?
I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
12 Phoh ano loong, sen lasih joh rumhala, nga likhiik ang we an. Mamah liidoh ngah uh sen likhiik ang lang. Sen ih nga raang ih timjih uh tathet reetan.
I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
13 Ngah ih sen suh hephang di ruurangese ah tim suh nyootsoot rum taha ah taat dokthun et thaak an, ngah esat thoidi ruurangese ah nyootsoot rum taha.
but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
14 Enoothong ngah khoisat ah sen suh lase kaabah uh sen ih tah chiik tahe, tah phanhaat tahe, erah thaknang ibah sen ih Rangte taangnawa rangsah tam ra hala ngeh banpoon tahe; sen ih Kristo Jisu suh kah banpoon ah jih banpoon tahe.
That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 Sen loong rapne ih roon tan ah! Mamah angta? Ngah ih jen baat mok erumha sen mik ah ejen doklot choi ang abah ngah suh kohe ngeh ah.
What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
16 Amiisak tiit ah baat rumha no ngah sen damdi piiara tam ehoon lang?
So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 Wahoh loong ih sen suh neng thung ah koh ano sok halan, enoothong neng tenthun ah ese tah angka. Neng ih sen ah nga taangnawa pheehoom suh thun rumha, mamah liidih neng ih mongnook lam ih thun halan erah likhiik sen eh uh emamah toomwe ngaak thun an suh ah.
They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
18 Sok thaak an, sen loong raangtaan ih timthan ese ang ah marah sen raangtaan ih ese ang ah erah doh senthung sentak ah mok koh an bah ah—arah bah saarookwe amiimi, ngah sen damdoh je ang doh luulu tah angka.
But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
19 Nga mongnook suh asah loong, Kristo dang ajang ah sen damdoh maang dongdong ngah noonuh nootup suh kasat ah likhiik, nga ten uh emamah ih sat lang.
My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
20 Ngah amadoh sen damdoh angtang bah timthan ese ang thengta, ngah ih sen ah toongtang lam ih lamse nah siit theng rum taha. Ngah sen suh rapne ih sootsaam lang!
but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
21 Ngah ih jengkhaap cheng rum thaak ha, ngo ngo ah Hootthe lalih nah tong suh nook thaak ah: Hootthe ih timjih kali ah tatam kachaat kan?
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
22 Eradi liiha Abraham suh heh sah enyi angta, wasiit ah danuh dowa sah angta, wasiit ah heh minuh mi dowa sah angta.
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
23 Heh sah dah nuh nawa tupta ah jojang ih tupta, enoothong heh minuh mi nawa tupta abah Rangte ih kakhamta jun ih tupta.
However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
24 Arah nyi tiit ah tiitthaak ngeh samthun theng: nunyi ah nuumiijeng enyi di toobaat ha. Noodek esiit tupta danuh men ah Hagar eno he ah langla Sinai hakong adi jengdang kakhamta rah to baatta.
These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
25 Hagar ah Arabia hah nawa Senai kong raangtaan ih ngoot baat ha ah langla amadi Jerusalem samnuthung raang ih angla, erah samnuthung nyia erah ni tong rum ano dah rumla loong ah nyoot baat ha.
For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
26 Enoothong rangmong dowa Jerusalem abah dah lakmong ni tah angka, heh ah seng loong nuh.
But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 Mamah liidih Rangteele ni liiha, “Tenroon ang an, ngo sumuh ang lan long ah! Tenroon ih riing araak an, ngo satup di lah thaak satte loong o! Mamah liidih neng miwah ih amah sah uh ladaap haatka minuh thaknang ibah neng miwah muh loong taangnah neng sah ehan ang ah.”
For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
28 Nga joonte loong Rangte ih kakhamta jun ih sen loong ah Rangte suh asah, Isak angta likhiik ah.
Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29 Erah tokdoh marah Rangte Chiiala jun ih tupta miwasah rah, jojang ih tupta miwasah rah ih siiwi ah; erah amadi emamah angla.
But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
30 Enoothong rangteele ni mamah raangha? Eradi amah raangha “Danuh nyi heh sah miwah sah rah dok phanhaat ih an; mamah liidih danuh mong nawa dong taha miwasah rah heh wah jinnah wa nyamka ah tah choka, changte wah minuh mi dowa tupta miwah sah kah choh ah likhiik ah.”
However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
31 Erah raangtaan ih nga joonte loong, seng loong ah danuh sah ah tah angke enoothong changte minuh mi suh, seng loong ah heh sah.
So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
