Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
Mwen menm Pòl, se pa moun ki te chwazi m', ni Bondye pa t' voye yon moun chwazi m', men se Jezikri menm ki te chwazi m' pou sèvi apòt, ansanm ak Bondye Papa a ki te fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
Tout frè ki isit la yo mete tèt ansanm avè m' pou ekri lèt sa a pou tout legliz ki nan peyi Galasi yo.
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
4 who 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— (aiōn g165)
Dapre volonte Bondye, Papa nou, Kris la te bay tèt li pou peche nou yo, pou l' te ka delivre nou anba move tan mechan ki sou latè koulye a. (aiōn g165)
Lwanj pou Bondye pou tout tan! Amèn. (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
Mwen sezi wè jan nou prese vire do bay Bondye ki te rele nou, gremesi Kris la, pou n' al swiv yon lòt kalite bon nouvèl.
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
Pou di vre, pa gen okenn lòt bon nouvèl. Men, mwen di sa paske gen moun k'ap plede chaje tèt nou, ki vle chanje anpil bagay nan bon nouvèl Kris la.
8 But 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.
Enben, si yon moun ta vin anonse nou yon lòt bon nouvèl ki pa menm ak sa nou te anonse nou an, moun sa a li te mèt se mwen menm, osinon yon zanj ki soti nan syèl, madichon pou li!
9 As 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.
Mwen deja di nou sa, koulye a m'ap repete nou sa ankò: si yon moun vin anonse nou yon bon nouvèl ki pa menm ak sa nou te resevwa a, madichon pou li!
10 For 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.
Lè mwen di sa, èske sa vle di se favè moun m'ap chache? Non. Se favè Bondye m'ap chache. Eske se plezi m'ap chache fè lèzòm plezi? Si m' t'ap chache fè lèzòm plezi, se pa Kris la mwen ta ap sèvi.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
M'ap di nou sa, frè m' yo, bon nouvèl m'ap anonse a pa soti nan moun.
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Paske mwen menm, mwen pa t' resevwa l' nan men pesonn, ni se pa yon moun ki te moutre m' li. Men, se Jezikri menm ki te fè m' konnen li.
13 For 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.
Nou tande pale sa m' te konn fè nan tan lontan, lè m' te nan relijyon jwif yo. Nou konnen jan m' te san pitye lè m' t'ap pèsekite legliz Bondye a, jan m' t'ap chache kraze li.
14 I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Nan relijyon jwif yo mwen te pi fò pase anpil moun nan ras mwen ki te menm laj avè mwen. Mwen te pi cho pase yo pou defann koutim zansèt nou yo.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
Men, Bondye fè m' favè l', li mete m' apa depi nan vant manman m', li rele m' pou m' te ka sèvi li.
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
Konsa, lè se te lide l' pou l' te fè m' konnen Pitit li a, pou m' te ka anonse bon nouvèl li a nan mitan moun ki pa jwif yo, wi, lè sa a, mwen pa t' al mande pesonn konsèy.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
Mwen pa t' moute Jerizalèm non plis pou m' al wè moun ki te apòt anvan m' yo. Men, mwen te pati la menm pou peyi Arabi. Apre sa, mwen tounen tounen m' lavil Damas.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Sou twazan, mwen moute lavil Jerizalèm pou m' te fè konesans ak Pyè. Mwen rete kenz jou lakay li.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
Lè sa a, mwen pa t' wè okenn nan lòt apòt yo, esepte Jak, frè Seyè a.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
Sa m'ap ekri nou la a, se vre wi. Mwen pran Bondye pou temwen, mwen p'ap bay manti.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Apre sa, mwen te ale nan peyi Siri ak Silisi.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
Pandan tout tan sa a, manm legliz Kris la ki te nan peyi Jide a pa t' ankò rekonèt mwen.
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
Yo te sèlman konn tande moun ap di yo: Nonm ki t'ap pesekite nou nan tan lontan an, koulye a men l'ap mache anonse bon nouvèl li te vle kraze a.
24 So they glorified God in me.
Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye pou tèt mwen.
