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—
Nanye Paulo intumwa. Anye nitali ntumwa okusoka ku bhanu nolwo kulabha ku bhanu, Nawe ni kulabha ku Yesu Kristo na Nyamuanga Lata unu amusuluye okusoka mu bhafuye.
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
Amwi na bhaili bhone nanye, enigandikila amakanisa Galatia.
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Echigongo chibhe amwi nemwe no mulembe gunu gusokele ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe no Mukama Yesu Kristo,
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)
unu esosishe omwene kulwe bhibhibhi bhyeswe koleleki achigululule mu katungu kanu ako bhuyabhi, okusokana ne lyenda lya Nyamuanga weswe na Lata. (aiōn g165)
Ku mwene libhe likusho lya kajanende na kajanende. (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”,
Enilugula okubha mwaindukie iinjili indi bhwangu. Enilugula ati omuindukila alela okusoka ku mwene unu abhabhilikie kulwe chigongo cha Kristo.
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
Italio iinjili indi, mbe nawe bhalio abhanu bhalebhe bhanu abhabhaletelesha jinyako no kwenda okuindula iinjili ya Kristo.
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.
Mbe nawe nolwo eswe amwi bhamalaika okusoka mu lwile nalasha kwemwe iinjili indi tali inu chabhalasishe ewemwe, afumilisibhwe.
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.
Lwa kutyo chaikile kubhwambilo, olyanu enaika lindi, “Akabha alio munu nabhalasisha emwe iinjili indi kukila inu mwalamiye, afumilisibhwe.”
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.
Angu wolyanu eniyenja echibhalikisho cha bhanu amwi cha Nyamuanga? Eniyenja okubhakondelesha abhanu? Labha enigendelela okubhakondelesha abhanu anye nitali mukosi wa Kristo.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Bhaili, enenda mumenye ati iinjili inu nabhalasisishe itali yo kusoka ku bhanu.
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nitailamie okusoka ku munu amwi okwiigisibhwa. Nawe yaliga ibhonesibhwe okusoka ku Kristo okuja kwanye.
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.
Mwamalile okungwa ingulu ya kalibhatie kani ka inyuma okusoka mu dini ye Chiyaudi, lwa kutyo naliga ninyasha kulwo bhululu ikanisa ya Nyamuanga okukila muno no kuisingalisha.
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.
Naliga nigendelee mu dini ye Chiyaudi kukila abhaili bhani bhanfu Abhayaudi. Naliga no bhubhasi muno muntungwa ja balata bhani.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
Mbe nawe Nyamuanga jamukondee okunsola anye kusoka munda ya mai. Ambilikiye anye okulubhana ne chigongo chae
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
okumubhonesha Omwana wae mwanye, koleleki nimulashe ku bhanu bha maanga. Nolwo nitalondele bhwitondo bhwo mubhili no bhwa manyinga
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.
nitagendele Yerusalemu kubhanu bhaliga jintumwa bhanu bha ntangatie. Mbe nawe nagendele Uarabuni nimala ninsubha Damesiki.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Jejile jawa myaka esatu ningenda Yerusalemu okulibhatila Kefa, niniyanja nage nsiku ekumi ne tanu.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
Mbe nawe nitalolele jintumwa indi tali Yakobo enyele, omuili wabho Omukama.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
Lola, imbele ya Nyamuanga, nitakujiga mujinu enandika kwemwe.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Neishe ningenda mu mikoa ja Shamu na Kilikia.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
Naliga ntakumenyekana mu meso ku makanisa ga Bhuyaudi ganu galiga mu Kristo,
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
mbe nawe bhaliga nibhongwa ala, “Unu aliga nachinyasha olyanu kalasha elikilisha linu aliga nalinyamula.”
24 So they glorified God in me.
Bhaliga nibhamukusha Nyamuanga ingulu yani.
