Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
1Rhopangkung te cahmang la a om khui boeih atah sal khaw, boei khaw, aka om boeih te a tanglue tloe moenih ka ti coeng.
2but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
2Tedae pa kah a tuetang duela imtawt neh hnokhoem kut hmuiah a om sak.
3So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
3Te dongah mamih khaw cahmang la n'om uh vaengah Diklai kah a niing hmuiah sal aka bi la n'om?
4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
4Tedae a tue a soepnah loh ha pawk vaengah Pathen loh a capa te han tueih. Huta lamloh om tih olkhueng hmuiah phoe.
5that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
5Te daengah ni olkhueng hmuikah rhoek te a tlan eh. Te daengah ni a cacah la m'phaeng eh.
6And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
6Te dongah ca rhoek la na om uh coeng. Abba apa tila aka pang a capa kah Mueihla te Pathen loh mamih thinko ah han tueih.
7So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
7Te dongah sal voel pawt tih ca la na om uh coeng. Ca tah Pathen rhangneh rhopangkung la om van.
8However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
8Tedae Pathen ana ming pawt vaengah a coengnah loh pathen la aka om pawt rhoek kah sal na bi uh.
9But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
9Tedae Pathen te mingpha coeng ta. Te dongah Pathen loh lat m'ming ta. Metlae tattloel neh a niing aka khodaeng taengla koep na mael uh. Te rhoek taengah salbi ham koekhoek koep na ngaih uh.
10You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
10Khohnin khaw, hla khaw, khoning khaw, kum khaw na yaeh uh coeng.
11I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
11Nangmih ham ka thakthae he a hoeihae pawt khaming tila nangmih taengah ka birhih.
12I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
12Kai bangla om uh lah. Kai khaw nangmih vanbang ni tila manuca rhoek nangmih te kan hloep. Kai nan veet uh moenih.
13but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
13Tedae a cuekca kah nangmih taengah ka phong te pumsa kah vawtthoek dongah tila na ming uh.
14That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
14Ka pumsa ah nangmih ham noemcainah om cakhaw nan hnaelcoe uh pawt tih nan tuei uh moenih. Tedae Pathen kah puencawn bangla, Jesuh Khrih bangla kai nan doe uh.
15What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
15Te koinih nangmih kah yoethennah tah menim? A phoeng mai koinih na mik te na koeih uh tih kai nan paek uh mako tila nangmih taengah ka laipai.
16So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
16Nangmih ham oltak ka thui dongah nangmih kah rhal la ka coeng a?
17They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
17Nangmih taengah a thatlai uh te thuem pawh. Tedae nangmih te khoe a ngaih uh daengah amih te na thatlai thil uh mako.
18But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
18Tedae a then la thatlai ham tah then yoeyah ngawn. Te dongah nangmih taengkah ka om rhuet bueng moenih.
19My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
19Ka ca rhoek nangmih ah Khrih a kap duela u ham nim ka bung a tloh bal.
20but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
20Te dongah nangmih taengah om laeh ka ngaih coeng. Ka ol te thovael ham khaw nangmih soah ka ingang coeng.
21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
21Kai taengah thui uh lah . Olkhueng hmuiah om ham aka ngaih rhoek, olkhueng te na ya uh mahnim?
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
22Abraham loh capa panit a khueh te a daek coeng ta. Pakhat te salnu kah tih pakhat te aka loeih nu kah ta.
23However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
23Tedae salnu kah te tah pumsa la a cun. Aka loeih nu kah te tah olkhueh lamloh a cun.
24These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
24Amih rhoi loh a tueng sak te om. Amih rhoi tah paipi panit la om. Pakhat tah Sinai tlang lamkah tih sal la a cun. Anih tah Hagar ni.
25For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
25Hagar tah Arabia kah Sinai tlang coeng ni. Tahae kah Jerusalem banghui la, a ca rhoek taengah sal a bi.
26But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
26Tedae soben Jerusalem tah aka loeih ni. Anih tah mamih kah manu ni.
27For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
27A daek coeng te ta, Cakol la cacun mueh aw uum khungdaeng lamtah bung aka tlo pawt aw tamhoe lah. Va aka khueh lakah khosoek kah camoe tah taoe ping ta.
28Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
28Manuca rhoek nangmih ngawn tah Isaak bangla olkhueh kah ca rhoek la na om uh.
29But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
29Tedae pumsa la a cun loh mueihla la cun te a hnaemtak vanbangla tahae ah khaw om van tangloeng.
30However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
30Tedae cacim loh, “Salnu neh a capa te haek laeh. Salnu kah a capa te aka loeih nu kah capa taengah phaeng loengloeng boel saeh,” a ti te ta.
31So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
31Te dongah manuca rhoek salnu kah voel pawt tih aka loeih kah ca rhoek la n'om uh.
