Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
1Galati hlangang rhoek aw, a tai tangtae Jesuh Khrih te mik hmuh ah a tueng lalah unim nangmih aka hloih.
2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
2Nangmih lamkah tah he bueng ni ming ka ngaih. Olkhueng kah khoboe nen nim, na dang uh mueihla neh tangnah hnavue nen nim?
3Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
3Hlangang la na om uh tangloeng. Mueihla ah hma aka pai loh pumsa ah na khah uh coeng.
4Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
4A hoeihae lam nim heyet na patang uh? Te koinih a hoeihae pawn ni te.
5Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
5Te 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?
6So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
6Te vanbangla Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah tih amah te duengnah la a nawt.
7Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
7Te dongah tangnah dongkah rhoek tah Abraham kah a ca rhoek ni tila ming uh.
8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
8Namtom 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.
9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
9Te dongah tangnah kah hlang rhoek te tah uepom Abraham rhangneh a yoethen uh.
10All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
10Olkhueng 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.
11Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
11Tedae olkhueng lamloh Pathen taengah a tang pawt te mingpha coeng dongah aka dueng tah tangnah nen ni a hing eh.
12The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
12Te dongah olkhueng tah tangnah dongah om pawt dae te te aka vai tah te nen te hing ni.
13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
13Khrih 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.
14He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
14Te 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.
15Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
15Manuca rhoek hlang vanbangla ka thui. Hlang loh a cak sak paipi pataeng hnawt pawt tih a thap bal moenih.
16The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
16Te 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.
17What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.
17Te 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.
18For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
18Rho tah olkhueng lamloh om koinih olkhueh dongah om mahpawh. Tedae Pathen loh olkhueh nen ni Abraham te a rhen.
19Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.
19Te 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.
20A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
20Rhikhangkung tah pakhat kah la om pawh. Tedae Pathen tah pakhat la om.
21Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
21Te 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.
22But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
22Tedae 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.
23Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
23Tedae tangnah ha pawk hlan lamloh tangnah a pumphoe tom duela olkhueng hmuiah a uup tih n'khoembael.
24So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
24Te dongah mamih kah cakhoem olkhueng loh Khrih taengla n'om sak. Te daengah ni tangnah lamloh n'tang sak.
25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
25Tedae tangnah ha pawk vaengah tah cakhoem kut hmuiah om uh voel pawh.
26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
26Jesuh Khrih dongkah tangnah lamloh Pathen ca rhoek la boeih na om uh.
27For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
27Khrih ah naka nuem boeih loh Khrih te na bai uh.
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
28Judah 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.
29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
29Nangmih khaw Khrih kah coeng atah rhopangnah olkhueh vanbangla Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh van.
