Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,

but he is under the control of guardians and trustees until the time his father has appointed.
3 တဒွဒ် ဝယမပိ ဗာလျကာလေ ဒါသာ ဣဝ သံသာရသျာက္ၐရမာလာယာ အဓီနာ အာသ္မဟေ၊
So we also, when spiritually we were children, were subject to the world's rudimentary notions, and were enslaved.
4 အနန္တရံ သမယေ သမ္ပူရ္ဏတာံ ဂတဝတိ ဝျဝသ္ထာဓီနာနာံ မောစနာရ္ထမ္
But, when the time was fully come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born subject to Law,

in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, so that we might receive recognition as sons.
6 ယူယံ သန္တာနာ အဘဝတ တတ္ကာရဏာဒ် ဤၑွရး သွပုတြသျာတ္မာနာံ ယုၐ္မာကမ် အန္တးကရဏာနိ ပြဟိတဝါန် သ စာတ္မာ ပိတး ပိတရိတျာဟွာနံ ကာရယတိ၊
And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son to enter your hearts and cry "Abba! our Father!"
7 အတ ဣဒါနီံ ယူယံ န ဒါသား ကိန္တုး သန္တာနာ ဧဝ တသ္မာတ် သန္တာနတွာစ္စ ခြီၐ္ဋေနေၑွရီယသမ္ပဒဓိကာရိဏော'ပျာဓွေ၊
Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir also through God's own act.
8 အပရဉ္စ ပူရွွံ ယူယမ် ဤၑွရံ န ဇ္ဉာတွာ ယေ သွဘာဝတော'နီၑွရာသ္တေၐာံ ဒါသတွေ'တိၐ္ဌတ၊
But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist.
9 ဣဒါနီမ် ဤၑွရံ ဇ္ဉာတွာ ယဒိ ဝေၑွရေဏ ဇ္ဉာတာ ယူယံ ကထံ ပုနသ္တာနိ ဝိဖလာနိ တုစ္ဆာနိ စာက္ၐရာဏိ ပြတိ ပရာဝရ္တ္တိတုံ ၑက္နုထ? ယူယံ ကိံ ပုနသ္တေၐာံ ဒါသာ ဘဝိတုမိစ္ဆထ?
Now, however, having come to know God--or rather to be known by Him--how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?
10 ယူယံ ဒိဝသာန် မာသာန် တိထီန် သံဝတ္သရာံၑ္စ သမ္မနျဓွေ၊
You scrupulously observe days and months, special seasons, and years.

I am alarmed about you, and am afraid that I have perhaps bestowed labour upon you to no purpose.
12 ဟေ ဘြာတရး, အဟံ ယာဒၖၑော'သ္မိ ယူယမပိ တာဒၖၑာ ဘဝတေတိ ပြာရ္ထယေ ယတော'ဟမပိ ယုၐ္မတ္တုလျော'ဘဝံ ယုၐ္မာဘိ ရ္မမ ကိမပိ နာပရာဒ္ဓံ၊
Brethren, become as I am, I beseech you; for I have also become like you. In no respect did you behave badly to me.
13 ပူရွွမဟံ ကလေဝရသျ ဒေါ်ရ္ဗ္ဗလျေန ယုၐ္မာန် သုသံဝါဒမ် အဇ္ဉာပယမိတိ ယူယံ ဇာနီထ၊
And you know that in those early days it was on account of bodily infirmity that I proclaimed the Good News to you,
14 တဒါနီံ မမ ပရီက္ၐကံ ၑာရီရက္လေၑံ ဒၖၐ္ဋွာ ယူယံ မာမ် အဝဇ္ဉာယ ၒတီယိတဝန္တသ္တန္နဟိ ကိန္တွီၑွရသျ ဒူတမိဝ သာက္ၐာတ် ခြီၐ္ဋ ယီၑုမိဝ ဝါ မာံ ဂၖဟီတဝန္တး၊
and yet the bodily infirmity which was such a trial to you, you did not regard with contempt or loathing, but you received me as if I had been an angel of God or Christ Jesus Himself!
15 အတသ္တဒါနီံ ယုၐ္မာကံ ယာ ဓနျတာဘဝတ် သာ က္က ဂတာ? တဒါနီံ ယူယံ ယဒိ သွေၐာံ နယနာနျုတ္ပာဋျ မဟျံ ဒါတုမ် အၑက္ၐျတ တရှိ တဒပျကရိၐျတေတိ ပြမာဏမ် အဟံ ဒဒါမိ၊
I ask you, then, what has become of your self-congratulations? For I bear you witness that had it been possible you would have torn out your own eyes and have given them to me.
16 သာမ္ပြတမဟံ သတျဝါဒိတွာတ် ကိံ ယုၐ္မာကံ ရိပု ရ္ဇာတော'သ္မိ?
Can it be that I have become your enemy through speaking the truth to you?
17 တေ ယုၐ္မတ္ကၖတေ သ္ပရ္ဒ္ဓန္တေ ကိန္တု သာ သ္ပရ္ဒ္ဓါ ကုတ္သိတာ ယတော ယူယံ တာနဓိ ယတ် သ္ပရ္ဒ္ဓဓွံ တဒရ္ထံ တေ ယုၐ္မာန် ပၖထက် ကရ္တ္တုမ် ဣစ္ဆန္တိ၊
These men pay court to you, but not with honourable motives. They want to exclude you, so that you may pay court to them.
18 ကေဝလံ ယုၐ္မတ္သမီပေ မမောပသ္ထိတိသမယေ တန္နဟိ, ကိန္တု သရွွဒဲဝ ဘဒြမဓိ သ္ပရ္ဒ္ဓနံ ဘဒြံ၊
It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; always, and not only when I am with you, my children--
19 ဟေ မမ ဗာလကား, ယုၐ္မဒန္တ ရျာဝတ် ခြီၐ္ဋော မူရ္တိမာန် န ဘဝတိ တာဝဒ် ယုၐ္မတ္ကာရဏာတ် ပုနး ပြသဝဝေဒနေဝ မမ ဝေဒနာ ဇာယတေ၊
you for whom I am again, as it were, undergoing the pains of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within you.
20 အဟမိဒါနီံ ယုၐ္မာကံ သန္နိဓိံ ဂတွာ သွရာန္တရေဏ ယုၐ္မာန် သမ္ဘာၐိတုံ ကာမယေ ယတော ယုၐ္မာနဓိ ဝျာကုလော'သ္မိ၊
Would that I were with you and could change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
21 ဟေ ဝျဝသ္ထာဓီနတာကာင်္က္ၐိဏး ယူယံ ကိံ ဝျဝသ္ထာယာ ဝစနံ န ဂၖဟ္လီထ?
Tell me--you who want to continue to be subject to Law--will you not listen to the Law?
22 တန္မာံ ဝဒတ၊ လိခိတမာသ္တေ, ဣဗြာဟီမော ဒွေါ် ပုတြာဝါသာတေ တယောရေကော ဒါသျာံ ဒွိတီယၑ္စ ပတ္နျာံ ဇာတး၊
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman.
23 တယော ရျော ဒါသျာံ ဇာတး သ ၑာရီရိကနိယမေန ဇဇ္ဉေ ယၑ္စ ပတ္နျာံ ဇာတး သ ပြတိဇ္ဉယာ ဇဇ္ဉေ၊
But we see that the child of the slave-girl was born in the common course of nature; but the child of the free woman in fulfilment of the promise.
24 ဣဒမာချာနံ ဒၖၐ္ဋန္တသွရူပံ၊ တေ ဒွေ ယောၐိတာဝီၑွရီယသန္ဓီ တယောရေကာ သီနယပရွွတာဒ် ဥတ္ပန္နာ ဒါသဇနယိတြီ စ သာ တု ဟာဇိရာ၊
All this is allegorical; for the women represent two Covenants. One has its origin on Mount Sinai, and bears children destined for slavery.
25 ယသ္မာဒ် ဟာဇိရာၑဗ္ဒေနာရဝဒေၑသ္ထသီနယပရွွတော ဗောဓျတေ, သာ စ ဝရ္တ္တမာနာယာ ယိရူၑာလမ္ပုရျျား သဒၖၑီ၊ ယတး သွဗာလဲး သဟိတာ သာ ဒါသတွ အာသ္တေ၊
This is Hagar; for the name Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage together with her children.
26 ကိန္တု သွရ္ဂီယာ ယိရူၑာလမ္ပုရီ ပတ္နီ သရွွေၐာမ် အသ္မာကံ မာတာ စာသ္တေ၊
But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and 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။ "
For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren woman that bearest not, break forth into a joyful cry, thou that dost not travail with child. For the desolate woman has many children--more indeed than she who has the husband."
28 ဟေ ဘြာတၖဂဏ, ဣမှာက် ဣဝ ဝယံ ပြတိဇ္ဉယာ ဇာတား သန္တာနား၊
But you, brethren, like Isaac, are children born in fulfilment of a promise.
29 ကိန္တု တဒါနီံ ၑာရီရိကနိယမေန ဇာတး ပုတြော ယဒွဒ် အာတ္မိကနိယမေန ဇာတံ ပုတြမ် ဥပါဒြဝတ် တထာဓုနာပိ၊
Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power of the Spirit, so it is now.
30 ကိန္တု ၑာသ္တြေ ကိံ လိခိတံ? "တွမ် ဣမာံ ဒါသီံ တသျား ပုတြဉ္စာပသာရယ ယတ ဧၐ ဒါသီပုတြး ပတ္နီပုတြေဏ သမံ နောတ္တရာဓိကာရီ ဘဝိယျတီတိ၊ "
But what says the Scripture? "Send away the slave-girl and her son, for never shall the slave-girl's son share the inheritance with the son of the free woman."
31 အတဧဝ ဟေ ဘြာတရး, ဝယံ ဒါသျား သန္တာနာ န ဘူတွာ ပါတ္နျား သန္တာနာ ဘဝါမး၊
Therefore, brethren, since we are not the children of a slave-girl, but of the free woman--
