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—
Njame Paulo mutumwa, ndiya kusalwa ne bantu nambi kupitila mu muntu sobwe, nsombi ndalasalwa ne Yesu Klistu, kayi ne Lesa Bata balamupundusha kubafu.
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
Ame pamo ne baname abo bali pamo nenjame, tulamupanga mitende mibungano ya mucibela ca Galatiya.
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Kwina moyo ne lumuno lwa Lesa Bata ne Mwami Yesu Klistu lube nenjamwe.
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)
Yesu walaliyaba pacebo cakwambeti atulubule ku bwipishi bwetu, kayi walatupulusha kufuma kubuyumi bwaipa bwacino cindi. Walensa bintu mbyalikuyanda Lesa Ishetu. (aiōn g165)
Bulemeneno butapu bube kuli Lesa cindi conse. Amen. (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”,
Ndakankamananga pakuboneti mulapatukunga kufuma kuli Lesa walamukuwa kwelana ne kwina moyo kwa Klistu, mulatatiki kukonka mulumbe naumbi,
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
mulumbe ngomulakonkelenga nte mulumbe waina sobwe. Nsombi kuli bantu nabambi balayandanga kumufulunganya pakusandula Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Klistu.
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.
Nomba uliyense, nambi njafwe nambi mungelo lafumu kwilu wisakumukambaukila Mulumbe Waina wapusana ne ngotwalamukambaukila, uyo ashinganwe.
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.
Mbuli ncotwalambapo kendi kayi ndabweshengaponga kwambeti muntu uliyense weshi akamukambaukile mulumbe wapusana ne Mulumbe Waina ngotwalamwambila, uyo abe washinganwa.
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.
Sena pakwamba bintu ibi ndayandangeti bantu bansuminishe? Sobwe, nsombi kwambeti Lesa ansuminishe. Sena ndayandanga kwambeti nkondweleshe bantu? Nendalikuyanda kukondwelesha bantu, nendalabula kuba musebenshi wa Klistu.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Mobanse, kamuleka ndimwambile, Mulumbe Waina uyo ngonkute kukambauka nkaukute kufuma kubantu sobwe.
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nkandalautambula kufuma kubantu sobwe, kayi kuliya muntu walanjiyisha, nsombi ni Yesu Klistu mwine ewalanjubulwila Mulumbe uwu.
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.
Mwalanyumfwa bwikalo bwakame bwakaindi mpondalikuba mumpaililo ya Ciyuda. Ndalikuba muntu walikupensha mubungano wa Lesa kwakubula inkumbo, kayi ndalikuyandishisha kuwonongelalimo.
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.
Ndalikupita baname bangi balikuba bamushimba wakame pakwinsa bintu bya mpaililo ya Ciyuda, kayi ndalikuba walibenga pakukonka miyambo ya bashali betu.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
Nsombi Lesa walampatula kantana nsemwa, kayi mukwina moyo kwakendi walankuweti ndimusebensele. Lino mpwalayanda
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
kundesha Mwanendi kwambeti njenga akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha endiye kubantu bamishobo naimbi, ndiya kuyapo kumuntu naumbi kwambeti ampeko mano.
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.
Kayi nkandalayapo ku Yelusalemu kuya kubona balatanguna kuba batumwa kantana mba umo wa endibo. Nsombi ndalaya ku Alabiya kayi ne kubwelela ku Damasiko.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Mpopalapita byaka bitatu ndalaya ku Yelusalemu akunyumfwa makani kuli Petulo, ndalekalako masuba akwana likumi ne asanu.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
Nkandalabonapo mutumwa naumbi, nsombi enkowa Jemusi mukwabo Mwami.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
Ncondalembenga nicakubinga, kayi neye Lesa ucinshi kwambeti nkandabepenga sobwe.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Kufumapo ndalaya ku cibela ca ku Siliya ne ku Kilikiya.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
Pacindi ico bantu ba mumibungano ya ku Yudeya nkabalikunjishiba ame sobwe.
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
Balikunyufwowa mbyobali kwamba bantu eti, “Usa muntu walikutupensha lakambaukunga lushomo ndwalelesha kushina!”
24 So they glorified God in me.
Neco balalumbaisha Lesa pacebo ca njame.
