Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Qawktoepkung loe hmuennawk boih tawnkung ah om cadoeh, nawkta ah oh nathung tamna hoi lahhaih om ai;
1Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2anih loe ampa mah khaeh ih atue pha ai karoek to patukkung hoi ukkung ban thungah ni oh.
2But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father:
3To baktih toengah, aicae doeh nawkta ah a oh o naah, long atawk tlim ah ni misong ah a oh o.
3So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.
4Toe atue phak naah loe, Sithaw mah a Capa to patoeh, nongpata zok thungah pomh moe, kaalok thungah tapen,
4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:
5to tiah ni kaalok thungah kaom kaminawk to pahlong ueloe, a nih ih caa ah oh thaihaih to a hnu o tih.
5That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6Nangcae loe caa ah na oh o pongah, Sithaw mah a Capa ih Muithla to nangcae palung thungah patoeh, Anih mah Abba, Pa, tiah kawk.
6And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
7To pongah nangcae loe tamna na ai boeh ni, capa maeto ah ni na oh o boeh; capa maeto ah na oh o boeh loe, Kri rang hoiah Sithaw ih qawktoep kami ah ni na oh o boeh.
7Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.
8Sithaw na panoek o ai naah, taksa ah Sithaw tawn ai kaminawk ih tok to na sak pae o.
8But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.
9Toe tipongah vaihi Sithaw na panoek o moe, Sithaw mah ang panoek o pacoengah, tha kacak ai, amtanghaih hmuen bangah angqoi moe, misong ah oh let han na koeh o loe?
9But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements, which you desire to serve again?
10Ani, akhrah, khotue hoi saningnawk to na uum o.
10You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11Nangcae nuiah azom pui ah tha ka pathok moeng tih, tiah mawnhaih ka tawnh.
11I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.
12Nawkamyanawk, nangcae baktiah ka oh pongah, kai baktiah na oh o toeng hanah tahmenhaih kang hnik o: ka nuiah na sakpazaehaih roe tidoeh om ai.
12Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all.
13Nangcae khaeah kahoih tamthanglok ka thuih tangsuek naah, taksa thacak ai hoiah ni kang thuih o, tito na panoek o.
13And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh,
14Ka taksa ah kaom raihaih pongah kai khet nang patoek o ai moe, nang pakak o ai; Sithaw ih van kami baktih, Kri Jesu baktiah nang talawk o.
14You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15To baktih nangcae tahamhoih anghoehaih to naa ah maw oh ving boeh? Angcoeng thai nahaeloe, kai paek hanah nangmacae ih mik mataeng doeh taprok dok han koek to na koeh o, tito ka panoek.
15Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness, that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and would have given them to me.
16Loktang lok kang thuih o pongah, nangcae ih misa ah maw ka oh boeh?
16Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17Nihcae mah nangcae palung parai baktiah mikhmai na pan o thuih doeh om tih, toe kahoihah na palung o tangtang ai; ue, nihcae mah nangcae palung han koeh ih na ai ah, nangcae mah nihcae palung han ih ni a koeh o.
17They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.
18Nangcae hoi nawnto ka oh nathuem khue ai, kahoih hmuen bangah loe amlung poe han oh.
18But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.
19Palung ih ka caanawk, Kri nangcae thungah kacakah om ai karoek to, nawkta zah nathuem ih zok kana baktiah ni kana ka pauep let.
19My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.
20Nangcae nuiah palunghaenghaih ka tawnh pongah, vaihi nangcae khaeah kang zoh moe, lok ka thuihaih dan pakhraih han ka koeh.
20And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.
21Kaalok thungah oh koeh kaminawk, na thui oh, kaalok to na thaih o ai maw?
21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?
22Abraham mah capa hnetto sak, maeto loe misong nongpata thung hoiah oh moe, kalah maeto loe kaloih nongpata thung hoiah oh, tiah tarik ih oh.
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.
23Toe misong nongpata ih capa loe taksa koehhaih baktiah sak ih capa ah oh; kaloih nongpata khae hoi kaom capa loe lokkamhaih baktiah sak ih capa ah oh.
23But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.
24To loknawk loe hnuksakhaih lok ah ni oh: to nongpata hnik loe lokmaihaih hnetto thuih koehhaih ih ni; Sinai mae nui hoiah kangzo lokmaihaih maeto loe Hagar ni, anih mah misong ah kaom capa to tapen.
24Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:
25Hagar loe Arabia prae ah kaom Sinai mae ah oh, vaihi thuem ih Jerusalem hoiah anghmong, anih loe a caa hoi nawnto misong ah oh hoi.
25For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26Toe ranui ah kaom Jerusalem loe kaloih nongpata, aicae boih ih amno ah oh.
26But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother.
27Caa kaak, caa sah vai ai nongpata nang, anghoe ah; nawkta tapenhaih kana panoek vai ai nang, tha hoi hang ah: haek ih nongpata loe sava tawn nongpata pong pop kue ah caa sak, tiah tarik ih oh.
27For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.
28Nawkamyanawk, aicae loe Isak baktiah lokkamhaih caa ah ni a oh o.
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29Toe taksa koehhaih ah tapen kami mah Kacai Muithla koehhaih ah tapen capa to pacaekthlaek, vaihi doeh to tiah ni oh.
29But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now.
30Toe Cabu mah kawbangmaw thuih? Misong nongpata to a capa hoi nawnto haek ving ah: misong nongpata ih capa mah kaloih nongpata ih capa hoi nawnto qawktoepkung ah om mak ai, tiah thuih.
30But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.
31To pongah nawkamyanawk, aicae loe misong nongpata ih caa ah a om o ai, kaloih nongpata ih caa ah ni a oh o.
31So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
