Galatians 1
1 Minu Polo, mvuala, nditelo mbila, bika sia kuidi batu voti mu nzila yi mutu vayi kuidi niandi veka Yesu Klisto ayi kuidi Nzambi Tata diodi difulukisa Yesu mu bafua.
Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
2 Va kimosi ayi bakhomba zibundani yama kuaku, tufidisidi nkanda wawu kuidi mabundu ma Ngalatiya.
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Bika Nzambi Dise dieto ayi Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto baluvana nlemvo ayi ndembama.
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Klisto niandi mutu wukiyekula mu diambu di masumu meto muingi katukula mu tsungi yayi yi mbimbi boso buididi luzolo lu Nzambi, dise dieto. (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 Minu ndilembo simina mu mona ti beno luyekudi mu nsualu mutu wowo wulutela mbila mu nlemvo wu Klisto mu diambu di landakana Nsamu Wumboti wunkaka.
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Kuisi ko Nsamu Wumboti wunkaka. Bila batu bankaka balembo kotisa divunzi mu beno ayi batidi balula Nsamu wumboti wu Klisto.
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Buba ti beto veka voti mbasi yi Diyilu, wukululonga mambu ma Nsamu Wumboti wunkaka, makambu dedakana ayi momo tululonga, buna bika kasingu.
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 Banga bu tutuama tuba ayi buabu ndieka buela vutukila ku dituba: enati mutu wululongidi Nsamu Wumboti wunkaka wunkambu dedakana ayi wowo lutambula, buna bika kasingu.
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 Bila buabu lumbanzila ti ndintomba ti batu bakhikinina voti Nzambi kakhikinina e? Lummuena ti batu ndintomba monisa khini e? Enati minu batu ndintomba monisa khini buna ndisiedi kisadi ki Klisto ko.
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 Bakhomba baama, thidi luzaba ti Nsamu wumboti wowo ndilusamunina wusia ba kuidi mutu ko.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 Bila ndisia kuwu tambula kuidi mutu ko ayi kadi mutu kasia kundonga wawu ko. Vayi niandi veka Yesu Klisto wutsonga wawu.
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Bila lutuama wa buevi bubela khadulu ama mu dibundu di Bayuda; buevi ndiyamisina dibundu di Nzambi ayi buevi ndiyamisina diawu;
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 ayi buevi minu ndiviatukila Bayuda bawombo baba mu thongꞌama mu matedi kinzika mina mi Bayuda; minu ndiluta ba bufula mu bawu boso mu matedi kikhulu ki bakulu bama.
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 Vayi Nzambi, mutu wowo wutsobula tona mu vumu ki ngudi ama ayi wuthela mu nlemvo, bu kamona khini
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called [me] by his grace,
16 buna wumbonisa Muanꞌandi muingi ndinsamuna kuidi Bapakanu. Buna ndisia tuama kuenda tambula malongi kuidi mutu ko
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 ayi ndisia kuenda ko ku Yelusalemi kuidi bamvuala bathuamina vayi nditumbu kuenda ku Alabi. Bosi ndibuela vutuka ku Damasi.
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Mimvu mintatu bu mivioka, bosi ndiyenda ku Yelusalemi mu zabasana ayi Piela. Kumi bilumbu bitanu ndivuandila ku nzo andi.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 Ndisia mona mvuala yinkaka ko, botula kaka Zaki khomba yi Pfumu Yesu.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
20 Mu mambu momo ndikulusonikina, Nzambi niandi mbangi ama; ndikadi vuna.
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Bosi ndiyenda ku Sili ayi ku Silisi.
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 Muaki baklisto ba mabundu ma Yuda basia kunzaba ko,
And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 vayi zitsangu kaka baba wanga ti: “Mutu wowo wubedi kutuyamisanga, buabu niandi wulembo longi minu kioki kabedi tombanga vonda.”
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 Buna mu diambu diama, bakembisa Nzambi.
And they glorified God in me.
