¹Paula, sawltak-mihingte, sawl khiak hi louin, mihing vanga leng hi sam lou, Jesu Kris leh misi laka pata kaithoupa, Pa Pathian vangin ahi jaw-

¹Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

²Leh ka kianga unau om tengtengten, Galatia gama saptuamte kiangah:

²and all the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

³Pa Pathian leh i Toupa Jesu Kris kianga kipan hehpihna leh lemna na kiang uah om hen;

³Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴Amah tuh, i Pathian leh a Pa deihdanin, tulai khovel gilou tak laka a honsuahtak sak theihna dingin i khelhnate adingin amah a kipeta hi;

⁴who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

⁵Pathian kiangah thupina khantawnin om hen. Amen.

⁵to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁶Kris hehpihna jiaka nou honsampa huchi guiha tanchin hoih tuam lama na kisuansan uh lamdang ka sa hi;

⁶I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;

⁷Tanchin hoih dang a om ahi keia; noumau honhihbuaiin, Kris Tanchin Hoih hihlamdan ut kuate hiam a na om uh ahi.

⁷and there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

⁸Himahleh, koumau hiam aw, van akipana hongsuk angel nangawn hiam inleng, tanchin hoih na kiang ua ka gensa pen louhngal uh tanchin hoih dang himhim honnahilhta a om uleh, hamse lohin om hen.

⁸But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

⁹Tumaa ka gen bangmah un, tua gen nawn ding ka hi. Tanchin Hoih na muh pen louhngal uh, tanchin hoih dang kua peuhin nou a honhilh leh, hamse lohin om hen.

⁹As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

¹⁰Ahihleh, tuin mihing deihsakna hia ka zon Pathian-a? Ahihkeileh, mihing ahi maw lungtaisak ta tup? Mihing nana lungtaisak lai hitaleng, Kris sikha ka hi kei ding.

¹⁰For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

¹¹Huchiin, unaute aw, ka tanchin hoih genpen mihing lam thu ahi kei chih ka hontheisak hi.

¹¹But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

¹²Mihing kianga kipana ka muh leng ahi kei, mi honhilh leng ka hi sam kei, Jesu Kris kilakna jiaka mu ka hi zo ngala.

¹²For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³Judate sabiakdan ah, nidanglai ka omdan na thei khinta ngal ua, huchia Pathian saptuamte nakpi taka sawiin ka hihbuai ngitngeta:

¹³For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.

¹⁴Huan, ka pipute thusiah tunga Phatuam ka ngaihtuan khol jiakin Judate sabiakdan lamah leng ka chite laka ka khanvual tampite ka na khengta hi.

¹⁴I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵Huan, ka nu gilsung akipana honhihtuampa leh a hehpihna jiaka honsampa Pathianin,

¹⁵But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,

¹⁶Jentelte laka a tanchin hoih ka hilh theihna dingin a Tapa tuh lunghi taka keimaha a kilaksak laiin, sa leh sisan toh kidong louin,

¹⁶to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

¹⁷Sawltak ka hih maa sawltak na nahisate kiangah Jerusalem khuaa vahohtou tuan louin, Arabia gamah ka pai mang pah ngal jaw a; huan, Damaska khua ah ka kik nawnta hi.

¹⁷nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

¹⁸Huan, kum thum a bei nungin Kifa veh dingin Jerusalem khuaah ka vahoh tou a, a kiangah ni sawm leh ni nga ka tama.

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

¹⁹Sawltak dangte bel Toupa unau Jakob kia loungal, kuamah ka mu kei hi.

¹⁹But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord’s brother.

²⁰(Ngai him dih ua! na kiang ua thu ka gelhte khawng Pathian mitmuh ah leng ka juau kei hi. )

²⁰Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

²¹Huai nungin Suria leh Silisia gam khawngah ka hongpai hi.

²¹Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

²²Huan, Judia gama saptuamte Krisa omte meltheih ka hi nai kei lailaia,

²²I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

²³Tumalama honsawipan tumaa khatvei ginna thu a hihbuai tuh tuin a gen zota, chih mi gen kia a ja uhi.Huan, keimah jiakin Pathian a hihlianta uhi.

²³but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

²⁴Huan, keimah jiakin Pathian a hihlianta uhi.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
