Abaggalatiya 1
1 Nze Pawulo omutume, ataatumibwa bantu wadde omuntu, wabula eyatumibwa Yesu Kristo ne Katonda Kitaffe, eyamuzuukiza mu bafu,
Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
2 awamu n’abooluganda bonna abali nange tuwandiikira ekkanisa ez’e Ggalatiya,
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 nga tugamba nti ekisa n’emirembe ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe n’eri Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo bibeerenga nammwe;
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Kristo oyo eyeewaayo ku lw’ebibi byaffe, alyoke atununule mu mulembe guno omubi ng’okwagala kwa Katonda, era Kitaffe bwe kuli, (aiōn g165)
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Naye mbeewuunya kubanga mukyuka mangu okuva ku oyo, eyabayita olw’ekisa kya Kristo, naye ne mukyuka mangu okugoberera Enjiri endala.
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Kubanga tewali njiri ndala, wabula mwawubisibwa abaagala okunyoola n’okukyusa Enjiri ya Kristo.
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Omuntu yenna, ne bwe tuba ffe, wadde malayika ava mu ggulu, bw’abuuliranga Enjiri okuggyako gye twababuulira, akolimirwenga.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 Nga bwe twasooka okwogera, bwe ntyo nziramu okukyogera nti, omuntu yenna bw’ababuulira Enjiri eteri eyo ggye mwakkiriza akolimirwenga.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 Kale kaakano nkolerera kumatiza bantu oba kusiimibwa Katonda? Oba ngezaako kusanyusa bantu? Singa nnali nkyagezaako okusanyusa abantu, sandibadde muddu wa Kristo.
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 Kubanga abooluganda, mbategeeza nti, Enjiri gye nababuulira teyeesigamizibwa ku muntu,
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 era nange saagiweebwa muntu wadde okusomesebwa omuntu wabula Yesu Kristo ye yagimbikkulira.
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Mumanyi nga bwe nnali nfaanana nga nkyagoberera eddiini y’Ekiyudaaya, nga bwe nayigganyanga ennyo Ekkanisa ya Katonda okugizikiza,
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 era nga nnali omu ku bannaddiini abaakulaakulana mu ggwanga lyange, ne nsukkuluma ku Bayudaaya bannange be nakula nabo, era nagezaako nnyo nga bwe nasobola okugoberera empisa zonna ez’edda ez’amateeka g’eddiini yange.
And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 Naye Katonda bwe yasiima, eyanjawula okuva mu lubuto lwa mmange, n’ampita olw’ekisa kye,
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called [me] by his grace,
16 n’ambikkulira Omwana we ndyoke ŋŋende eri Abaamawanga mbabuulire Enjiri era sseebuuza ku muntu n’omu,
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 newaakubadde okwambuka e Yerusaalemi okwebuuza ku batume, naye nagenda mu Buwalabu era oluvannyuma ne nkomawo e Damasiko.
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Awo bwe waayitawo emyaka esatu ne ŋŋenda e Yerusaalemi okulaba Keefa ne mmala naye ennaku kkumi na ttaano.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 Naye ssaalaba mutume mulala wabula Yakobo muganda wa Mukama waffe.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
20 Noolwekyo bye mbawandiikira, si bya bulimba mu maaso ga Katonda.
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Bwe navaayo ne ndaga mu bitundu eby’e Siriya n’eby’e Kirukiya.
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 Era ekkanisa za Kristo mu Buyudaaya zaali tezinnategeera bwe nfaanana.
And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 Naye nga bamanyi nti, “Eyatuyigganyanga, kaakano abuulira okukkiriza kwe yagezaako okuzikiriza.”
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 Era ne bagulumiza Katonda ku lwange.
And they glorified God in me.
