Ugalantiyawa 1
1 Nuwana nilime nan nishono nan nya Kipin tigo in Galantiyawa. Meng Bulussari, unan kadura na unuzu kiti nanit ba, a na unuzu kiti nnit ba, unuzu kitin Yisa Kristiari nin Kutellẹ Uciffe, ulenge na awa fiyaghe nan nya nkul.
To the churches in Galatia, from Paul, an Apostle whose commission is not from men and is given, not by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead;
2 Nin linuana vat na idi ligowe nin mi udu nilarin nlira in Galatiya.
and from all the Brothers here.
3 Ubollu Kutellẹ udu kiti mine nin lisosin limang unuzu kiti Kutellẹ Ucifbit nin Cikilari bit Yisa Kristi,
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you and give you peace.
4 na awa ni litime bara alapi bite, anan se a bolo nari nan nya kubiri kunanzang nado ukpilizu Kutellẹ bit nin Ciff bit. (aiōn g165)
For Christ, to rescue us from this present wicked age, gave himself for our sins, in accordance with the will of God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be ascribed all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Imonen nayi fiu nin kpillu mine nan nya nliru ntucu uburnẹ na ina seru udu umong ugang. Nin kpillu nati mine kitin lenge na ana yicila minu nin bolun Kristi.
I am astonished at your so soon deserting him, who called you through the love of Christ, for a different ‘Good News,’
7 Na umong ulirun tuchu duku ugang ba, vat nani among anit din fizu ayi nanit inan musuzu ulirun tuchun Kristi.
Which is really no Good News at all. But then, I know that there are people who are harassing you, and who want to pervert the Good News of the Christ.
8 Sa arike sa Gono kadura Kutellẹ unuzu kitene kani nda minu nin kankadura ugang nin lenge na tina malu ubellin minu na unu kifoghe.
Yet even if we — or if an angel from Heaven were to tell you any other ‘Good News’ than that which we told you, may he be accursed!
9 Nafo na tiwa bellin minu nin burnẹ, nene wang ndin bellẹ tutung, ''Asa umong bellin minu ulirun ntucu ugan nin le na ina malu useru, tan ghe unu.''
We have said it before, and I repeat it now — If any one tells you a ‘Good News’ other than that which you received, may he be accursed!
10 Negene meng din pizuru uyinnu nanitari sa un Kutellẹ? sa ndin pizuru npwo anit ayeri? Asa meng nengene ndi ninsu npwo anit ayeri, na meng kuchin Kristari ba.
Is this, I ask, trying to conciliate men, or God? Am I seeking to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
11 Bara ndinin su iyinin nuana, ulirun ntuchu na ndin bellu na un na nitari ba.
I would remind you, Brothers, that the Good News which I told is no mere human invention.
12 Na nna seru kitin nitari ba, a na umon na dursuzai unin ba, una na nadak kitinighe unuzu kitin Yisa Kristari.
I, at least, did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through a revelation made by Jesus Christ.
13 Iwa lanza lisosin nburu nighe nan nya nadini na Yahudawa na nwa ti butan butang nnanzu nliru Kutellẹ nin na nan ndortu Kutellẹ, ineo kang sa ligang.
You heard, no doubt, of my conduct when I was devoted to Judaism — how I persecuted the Church of God to an extent beyond belief, and made havoc of it,
14 Meng wadi nlibun pït nan nya nadini na Yahudawa nkatiza adon nighe a Yahudawẹ. Meng wa di nin liyarin kan nbellen dortu matiza naciff ning.
and how, in my devotion to Judaism, I surpassed many of my contemporaries among my own people in my intense earnestness in upholding the traditions of my ancestors.
15 Kubi ko na Kutellẹ wa lanza nmang afereyi ndutu nan nya liburin naning. Awa yicilai nan nya me.
But when God, who had set me apart even before my birth, and who called me by his love,
16 Adurso Gono me kiti ning, nnan yino ubellun liru me kitik nalumai. Na nwa mala upizuru in yinnu nin kidowo nin mï ba,
saw fit to reveal his Son in me, so that I might tell the Good News of him among the Gentiles, then at once, instead of consulting any human being,
17 ana nwa do u Urushalime kiti na lenge na iwa yarni katawa ba. Nwa do Arabiyari, nnin kpilla u Damascus tutung.
or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who were Apostles before me, I went to Arabia, and came back again to Damascus.
18 Na akus atat nnin kata, nnin ghana udu lizi ngan Kefas in Urushalima nta ayiri likure nin na taun ligowe ninghe.
Three years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem to make the acquaintance of Peter, and I stayed a fortnight with him.
19 Vat nayiri ane nan nta, na nwayene umong nan nya nono katwe ba, ma Yakuburi cas gwanan NCikilare nwa yeneghe ku.
I did not, however, see any other Apostle, except James, the Master’s brother.
20 Yenen nbun Kutellẹ wang, na ndimunu kinu nan nya niyerte na nsu minu ba.
(As to what I am now writing to you, I call God to witness that I am speaking the truth).
21 Nin kiddughe nmini wa do nmin Siriya nin silisiya.
Afterwards I went to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Vat nani nan nyan Yahudiya alenge na iwa dortu nan nya nilarin nlira wa di isa yinni ba.
But I was still unknown even by sight to the Christian Churches in Judea;
23 Iwa din lanzun belle nighere cas, '' Ulenge na awa nadi unan lantizu nari ukul nengene din su uwazi in yinnu ulenge na ame wadin musuzun unin.''
all that they had heard was — ‘The man who once persecuted us is now telling the Good News of the very Faith of which he once made havoc.’
24 Inani wa tizu Kutellẹ gongong bara mewẹ.
And they praised God on my account.
