1 အဟံ ဝဒါမိ သမ္ပဒဓိကာရီ ယာဝဒ် ဗာလသ္တိၐ္ဌတိ တာဝတ် သရွွသွသျာဓိပတိး သန္နပိ သ ဒါသာတ် ကေနာပိ ဝိၐယေဏ န ဝိၑိၐျတေ
Let me explain what I'm saying. An heir who is under-age is no different from a slave, even though the heir may be the owner of everything.
2 ကိန္တု ပိတြာ နိရူပိတံ သမယံ ယာဝတ် ပါလကာနာံ ဓနာဓျက္ၐာဏာဉ္စ နိဃ္နသ္တိၐ္ဌတိ၊
An heir is subject to guardians and managers until the time set by the father.
3 တဒွဒ် ဝယမပိ ဗာလျကာလေ ဒါသာ ဣဝ သံသာရသျာက္ၐရမာလာယာ အဓီနာ အာသ္မဟေ၊
It's just the same for us. When we were children, we were slaves subject to the basic rules of the law.
4 အနန္တရံ သမယေ သမ္ပူရ္ဏတာံ ဂတဝတိ ဝျဝသ္ထာဓီနာနာံ မောစနာရ္ထမ္
But at the appropriate time God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the rule of law,
5 အသ္မာကံ ပုတြတွပြာပ္တျရ္ထဉ္စေၑွရး သ္တြိယာ ဇာတံ ဝျဝသ္ထာယာ အဓိနီဘူတဉ္စ သွပုတြံ ပြေၐိတဝါန်၊
so that he could rescue those who were kept under the rule of law, so that we could receive the inheritance of adopted children.
6 ယူယံ သန္တာနာ အဘဝတ တတ္ကာရဏာဒ် ဤၑွရး သွပုတြသျာတ္မာနာံ ယုၐ္မာကမ် အန္တးကရဏာနိ ပြဟိတဝါန် သ စာတ္မာ ပိတး ပိတရိတျာဟွာနံ ကာရယတိ၊
To show you are his children, God sent the Spirit of his Son to convince us, causing us to call out, “Abba,” meaning “Father.”
7 အတ ဣဒါနီံ ယူယံ န ဒါသား ကိန္တုး သန္တာနာ ဧဝ တသ္မာတ် သန္တာနတွာစ္စ ခြီၐ္ဋေနေၑွရီယသမ္ပဒဓိကာရိဏော'ပျာဓွေ၊
Since you are now no longer a slave, but a child, and if you are his child, then God has made you his heir.
8 အပရဉ္စ ပူရွွံ ယူယမ် ဤၑွရံ န ဇ္ဉာတွာ ယေ သွဘာဝတော'နီၑွရာသ္တေၐာံ ဒါသတွေ'တိၐ္ဌတ၊
At the time when you didn't know God, you were enslaved by the supposed “gods” of this world.
9 ဣဒါနီမ် ဤၑွရံ ဇ္ဉာတွာ ယဒိ ဝေၑွရေဏ ဇ္ဉာတာ ယူယံ ကထံ ပုနသ္တာနိ ဝိဖလာနိ တုစ္ဆာနိ စာက္ၐရာဏိ ပြတိ ပရာဝရ္တ္တိတုံ ၑက္နုထ? ယူယံ ကိံ ပုနသ္တေၐာံ ဒါသာ ဘဝိတုမိစ္ဆထ?
But now you've come to know God—or better, to be known by God. So how can you go back to those useless and worthless rules? Do you want to be slaves to those rules all over again?
10 ယူယံ ဒိဝသာန် မာသာန် တိထီန် သံဝတ္သရာံၑ္စ သမ္မနျဓွေ၊
You're observing special days and months, seasons and years.
11 ယုၐ္မဒရ္ထံ မယာ ယး ပရိၑြမော'ကာရိ သ ဝိဖလော ဇာတ ဣတိ ယုၐ္မာနဓျဟံ ဗိဘေမိ၊
I'm concerned that all I did for you has been wasted!
12 ဟေ ဘြာတရး, အဟံ ယာဒၖၑော'သ္မိ ယူယမပိ တာဒၖၑာ ဘဝတေတိ ပြာရ္ထယေ ယတော'ဟမပိ ယုၐ္မတ္တုလျော'ဘဝံ ယုၐ္မာဘိ ရ္မမ ကိမပိ နာပရာဒ္ဓံ၊
I'm pleading with you, my friends: be like me, because I became like you. You've never treated me badly.
13 ပူရွွမဟံ ကလေဝရသျ ဒေါ်ရ္ဗ္ဗလျေန ယုၐ္မာန် သုသံဝါဒမ် အဇ္ဉာပယမိတိ ယူယံ ဇာနီထ၊
You remember that it was because I was sick that I shared with you the good news on my first visit.
14 တဒါနီံ မမ ပရီက္ၐကံ ၑာရီရက္လေၑံ ဒၖၐ္ဋွာ ယူယံ မာမ် အဝဇ္ဉာယ ၒတီယိတဝန္တသ္တန္နဟိ ကိန္တွီၑွရသျ ဒူတမိဝ သာက္ၐာတ် ခြီၐ္ဋ ယီၑုမိဝ ဝါ မာံ ဂၖဟီတဝန္တး၊
Even though my illness was difficult for you, you didn't despise or reject me—in fact you treated me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.
15 အတသ္တဒါနီံ ယုၐ္မာကံ ယာ ဓနျတာဘဝတ် သာ က္က ဂတာ? တဒါနီံ ယူယံ ယဒိ သွေၐာံ နယနာနျုတ္ပာဋျ မဟျံ ဒါတုမ် အၑက္ၐျတ တရှိ တဒပျကရိၐျတေတိ ပြမာဏမ် အဟံ ဒဒါမိ၊
So what's happened to all your gratefulness? I tell you, back then if you could have pulled out your eyes and given them to me, you would have!
16 သာမ္ပြတမဟံ သတျဝါဒိတွာတ် ကိံ ယုၐ္မာကံ ရိပု ရ္ဇာတော'သ္မိ?
So what has happened—have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 တေ ယုၐ္မတ္ကၖတေ သ္ပရ္ဒ္ဓန္တေ ကိန္တု သာ သ္ပရ္ဒ္ဓါ ကုတ္သိတာ ယတော ယူယံ တာနဓိ ယတ် သ္ပရ္ဒ္ဓဓွံ တဒရ္ထံ တေ ယုၐ္မာန် ပၖထက် ကရ္တ္တုမ် ဣစ္ဆန္တိ၊
These people are keen to gain your support, but not for any good reasons. On the contrary, they want to keep you away from us so that you will enthusiastically support them.
18 ကေဝလံ ယုၐ္မတ္သမီပေ မမောပသ္ထိတိသမယေ တန္နဟိ, ကိန္တု သရွွဒဲဝ ဘဒြမဓိ သ္ပရ္ဒ္ဓနံ ဘဒြံ၊
Of course it's good to want to do good. But this should be at all times, not just when I'm there with you!
19 ဟေ မမ ဗာလကား, ယုၐ္မဒန္တ ရျာဝတ် ခြီၐ္ဋော မူရ္တိမာန် န ဘဝတိ တာဝဒ် ယုၐ္မတ္ကာရဏာတ် ပုနး ပြသဝဝေဒနေဝ မမ ဝေဒနာ ဇာယတေ၊
My dear friends, I want to work with you until Christ's character is duplicated in you.
20 အဟမိဒါနီံ ယုၐ္မာကံ သန္နိဓိံ ဂတွာ သွရာန္တရေဏ ယုၐ္မာန် သမ္ဘာၐိတုံ ကာမယေ ယတော ယုၐ္မာနဓိ ဝျာကုလော'သ္မိ၊
I really wish I could be with you right now so I could change my tone of voice… I'm so worried about you.
21 ဟေ ဝျဝသ္ထာဓီနတာကာင်္က္ၐိဏး ယူယံ ကိံ ဝျဝသ္ထာယာ ဝစနံ န ဂၖဟ္လီထ?
Answer me this, you people who want to live under the law: Don't you hear what the law is saying?
22 တန္မာံ ဝဒတ၊ လိခိတမာသ္တေ, ဣဗြာဟီမော ဒွေါ် ပုတြာဝါသာတေ တယောရေကော ဒါသျာံ ဒွိတီယၑ္စ ပတ္နျာံ ဇာတး၊
As Scripture says, Abraham had two sons, one from the servant girl, and one from the free woman.
23 တယော ရျော ဒါသျာံ ဇာတး သ ၑာရီရိကနိယမေန ဇဇ္ဉေ ယၑ္စ ပတ္နျာံ ဇာတး သ ပြတိဇ္ဉယာ ဇဇ္ဉေ၊
However, the son from the servant girl was born following a human plan, while the son from the free woman was born as the result of the promise.
24 ဣဒမာချာနံ ဒၖၐ္ဋန္တသွရူပံ၊ တေ ဒွေ ယောၐိတာဝီၑွရီယသန္ဓီ တယောရေကာ သီနယပရွွတာဒ် ဥတ္ပန္နာ ဒါသဇနယိတြီ စ သာ တု ဟာဇိရာ၊
This provides an analogy: these two women represent two agreements. One agreement is from Mount Sinai—Hagar—and she gives birth to slave children.
25 ယသ္မာဒ် ဟာဇိရာၑဗ္ဒေနာရဝဒေၑသ္ထသီနယပရွွတော ဗောဓျတေ, သာ စ ဝရ္တ္တမာနာယာ ယိရူၑာလမ္ပုရျျား သဒၖၑီ၊ ယတး သွဗာလဲး သဟိတာ သာ ဒါသတွ အာသ္တေ၊
Hagar symbolizes Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the current Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
26 ကိန္တု သွရ္ဂီယာ ယိရူၑာလမ္ပုရီ ပတ္နီ သရွွေၐာမ် အသ္မာကံ မာတာ စာသ္တေ၊
But the heavenly Jerusalem is free. She is our mother.
27 ယာဒၖၑံ လိခိတမ် အာသ္တေ, "ဝန္ဓျေ သန္တာနဟီနေ တွံ သွရံ ဇယဇယံ ကုရု၊ အပြသူတေ တွယောလ္လာသော ဇယာၑဗ္ဒၑ္စ ဂီယတာံ၊ ယတ ဧဝ သနာထာယာ ယောၐိတး သန္တတေ ရ္ဂဏာတ်၊ အနာထာ ယာ ဘဝေန္နာရီ တဒပတျာနိ ဘူရိၑး။ "
As Scripture says, “Rejoice you who are childless and who have never given birth! Shout aloud for joy, you who have never been in labor—for the abandoned woman has more children than the woman who has a husband!”
28 ဟေ ဘြာတၖဂဏ, ဣမှာက် ဣဝ ဝယံ ပြတိဇ္ဉယာ ဇာတား သန္တာနား၊
Now my friends, we are children of promise just like Isaac.
29 ကိန္တု တဒါနီံ ၑာရီရိကနိယမေန ဇာတး ပုတြော ယဒွဒ် အာတ္မိကနိယမေန ဇာတံ ပုတြမ် ဥပါဒြဝတ် တထာဓုနာပိ၊
However, just as the one born according to a human plan persecuted the one born through the Spirit, so it is today.
30 ကိန္တု ၑာသ္တြေ ကိံ လိခိတံ? "တွမ် ဣမာံ ဒါသီံ တသျား ပုတြဉ္စာပသာရယ ယတ ဧၐ ဒါသီပုတြး ပတ္နီပုတြေဏ သမံ နောတ္တရာဓိကာရီ ဘဝိယျတီတိ၊ "
But what does Scripture say? “Send away the servant girl and her son, for the son of the servant girl will not be an heir together with the son of the free woman.”
31 အတဧဝ ဟေ ဘြာတရး, ဝယံ ဒါသျား သန္တာနာ န ဘူတွာ ပါတ္နျား သန္တာနာ ဘဝါမး၊
Therefore, my friends, we're not children of a servant girl, but of the free woman.
