Galati 3

1 Galati hlangang rhoek aw, a tai tangtae Jesuh Khrih te mik hmuh ah a tueng lalah unim nangmih aka hloih.

O thoughtless Galatians, who bewitched you, not to obey the truth—before whose eyes [it] was previously written [about] Jesus Christ having been crucified?

2 Nangmih lamkah tah he bueng ni ming ka ngaih. Olkhueng kah khoboe nen nim, na dang uh mueihla neh tangnah hnavue nen nim?

I only wish to learn this from you: did you receive the Spirit by works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith?

3 Hlangang la na om uh tangloeng. Mueihla ah hma aka pai loh pumsa ah na khah uh coeng.

Are you so thoughtless? Having begun in the Spirit, do you now end in the flesh?

4 A hoeihae lam nim heyet na patang uh? Te koinih a hoeihae pawn ni te.

So many things you suffered in vain! If, indeed, even in vain.

5 Te dongah nangmih te mueihla aka pae tih nangmih ah thaomnah a tueng sak tah olkhueng kah khoboe nen nim? Thangnah kah hnavue nen dae nim?

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

6 Te vanbangla Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah tih amah te duengnah la a nawt.

According as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;

7 Te dongah tangnah dongkah rhoek tah Abraham kah a ca rhoek ni tila ming uh.

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

8 Namtom rhoek he tangnah loh a tang sak te cacim loh ana hmaitang coeng. Pathen loh Abraham te, “Nang lamloh namtom boeih a yoethen ni,” tila olthangthen a thui.

and the Writing, having foreseen that God declares righteous the nations by faith, foretold the good news to Abraham:

9 Te dongah tangnah kah hlang rhoek te tah uepom Abraham rhangneh a yoethen uh.

“All the nations will be blessed in you”; so that those of faith are blessed with the believing Abraham,

10 Olkhueng kah bibi lamloh aka om boeih tah rhunkhuennah hmuiah om uh. A saii uh ham te olkhueng cabu khuiah a daek. Te rhoek boeih dongah aka ngolpai pawt rhoek te rhunkhuen thil saeh,” tila a daek coeng.

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it has been written: “Cursed [is] everyone who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Scroll of the Law—to do them,”

11 Tedae olkhueng lamloh Pathen taengah a tang pawt te mingpha coeng dongah aka dueng tah tangnah nen ni a hing eh.

and [it] is evident that in law no one is declared righteous with God, because “The righteous will live by faith”;

12 Te dongah olkhueng tah tangnah dongah om pawt dae te te aka vai tah te nen te hing ni.

and the Law is not by faith, rather, “The man who did them will live in them.”

13 Khrih loh mamih he olkhueng kah rhunkhuennah lamloh n'tlan tih mamih yueng la rhunkhuennah a yook. “Rhunkhuen boeih tah thing dongah a hoei,” tila a daek pai.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us, for it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who is hanging on a tree,”

14 Te daengah ni Abraham kah yoethennah tah Khrih Jesuh lamloh namtom taengah a pha eh. Te daengah ni Mueihla kah olkhueh te tangnah lamloh n'dang eh.

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

15 Manuca rhoek hlang vanbangla ka thui. Hlang loh a cak sak paipi pataeng hnawt pawt tih a thap bal moenih.

Brothers, I say [it] as a man, no one even makes void or adds to a confirmed covenant of man,

16 Te dongah Abraham neh a tiingan ham olkhueh a thui uh vaengah a yet ham bangla, “Tiingan rhoek te,” a ti moenih. Tedae pakhat ham bangla, “Na tiingan taengah,” a ti nah. Te tah Khrih dae ni.

and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his Seed; He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” which is Christ;

17 Te dongah he he ka thui. Pathen loh a cak sak phoeikah kum yali sawmthum ah aka thoeng olkhueng loh paipi a hmil moenih. Te vanbangla olkhueh te khaw a phae moenih.

and this I say, a covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the Law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, does not set aside, to make void the promise,

18 Rho tah olkhueng lamloh om koinih olkhueh dongah om mahpawh. Tedae Pathen loh olkhueh nen ni Abraham te a rhen.

for if the inheritance [is] by law, [it is] no longer by promise, but God granted [it] to Abraham through promise.

19 Te koinih olkhueng te ta? A caeng tangtae tiingan te ha pawk duela boekoeknah rhoek te a thap. Tekah te rhikhangkung kut longah puencawn lamloh a uen coeng.

Why, then, the Law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the Seed might come to which the promise has been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator—

20 Rhikhangkung tah pakhat kah la om pawh. Tedae Pathen tah pakhat la om.

and the mediator is not of one, but God is one.

21 Te koinih olkhueng loh Pathen kah olkhueh te a kingkalh a? Tlam te om mahpawh. Olkhueng a paek loh hing sak thai koinih olkhueng dongah duengnah rhep n'dang ni.

[Is] the Law, then, against the promises of God? Let it not be! For if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly there would have been righteousness by law,

22 Tedae a cungkuem he cacim loh tholhnah hmuiah a up coeng. Te daengah ni olkhueh tah Jesuh Khrih kah tangnah lamloh aka tangnah rhoek taengah a paek eh.

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

23 Tedae tangnah ha pawk hlan lamloh tangnah a pumphoe tom duela olkhueng hmuiah a uup tih n'khoembael.

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

24 Te dongah mamih kah cakhoem olkhueng loh Khrih taengla n'om sak. Te daengah ni tangnah lamloh n'tang sak.

so that the Law became our tutor—to Christ, that we may be declared righteous by faith,

25 Tedae tangnah ha pawk vaengah tah cakhoem kut hmuiah om uh voel pawh.

and faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor,

26 Jesuh Khrih dongkah tangnah lamloh Pathen ca rhoek la boeih na om uh.

for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,

27 Khrih ah naka nuem boeih loh Khrih te na bai uh.

for as many as were immersed into Christ put on Christ;

28 Judah khaw Greek khaw om pawh. Sal khaw hlang loeih khaw om pawh. Tongpa neh huta om pawh. Nangmih tah Jesuh Khrih ah pakhat la boeih na om uh.

there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither servant nor freeman, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus;

29 Nangmih khaw Khrih kah coeng atah rhopangnah olkhueh vanbangla Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh van.

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