< Ugalantiyawa 1 >

1 Nuwana nilime nan nishono nan nya Kipin tigo in Galantiyawa. Meng Bulussari, unan kadura na unuzu kiti nanit ba, a na unuzu kiti nnit ba, unuzu kitin Yisa Kristiari nin Kutellẹ Uciffe, ulenge na awa fiyaghe nan nya nkul.
Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
2 Nin linuana vat na idi ligowe nin mi udu nilarin nlira in Galatiya.
and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
3 Ubollu Kutellẹ udu kiti mine nin lisosin limang unuzu kiti Kutellẹ Ucifbit nin Cikilari bit Yisa Kristi,
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 na awa ni litime bara alapi bite, anan se a bolo nari nan nya kubiri kunanzang nado ukpilizu Kutellẹ bit nin Ciff bit. (aiōn g165)
who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
5 Kitimerẹ ngongong so saligan Usonani. (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Imonen nayi fiu nin kpillu mine nan nya nliru ntucu uburnẹ na ina seru udu umong ugang. Nin kpillu nati mine kitin lenge na ana yicila minu nin bolun Kristi.
I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
7 Na umong ulirun tuchu duku ugang ba, vat nani among anit din fizu ayi nanit inan musuzu ulirun tuchun Kristi.
which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
8 Sa arike sa Gono kadura Kutellẹ unuzu kitene kani nda minu nin kankadura ugang nin lenge na tina malu ubellin minu na unu kifoghe.
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
9 Nafo na tiwa bellin minu nin burnẹ, nene wang ndin bellẹ tutung, ''Asa umong bellin minu ulirun ntucu ugan nin le na ina malu useru, tan ghe unu.''
As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
10 Negene meng din pizuru uyinnu nanitari sa un Kutellẹ? sa ndin pizuru npwo anit ayeri? Asa meng nengene ndi ninsu npwo anit ayeri, na meng kuchin Kristari ba.
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Bara ndinin su iyinin nuana, ulirun ntuchu na ndin bellu na un na nitari ba.
For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
12 Na nna seru kitin nitari ba, a na umon na dursuzai unin ba, una na nadak kitinighe unuzu kitin Yisa Kristari.
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
13 Iwa lanza lisosin nburu nighe nan nya nadini na Yahudawa na nwa ti butan butang nnanzu nliru Kutellẹ nin na nan ndortu Kutellẹ, ineo kang sa ligang.
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
14 Meng wadi nlibun pït nan nya nadini na Yahudawa nkatiza adon nighe a Yahudawẹ. Meng wa di nin liyarin kan nbellen dortu matiza naciff ning.
I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Kubi ko na Kutellẹ wa lanza nmang afereyi ndutu nan nya liburin naning. Awa yicilai nan nya me.
But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
16 Adurso Gono me kiti ning, nnan yino ubellun liru me kitik nalumai. Na nwa mala upizuru in yinnu nin kidowo nin mï ba,
to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
17 ana nwa do u Urushalime kiti na lenge na iwa yarni katawa ba. Nwa do Arabiyari, nnin kpilla u Damascus tutung.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
18 Na akus atat nnin kata, nnin ghana udu lizi ngan Kefas in Urushalima nta ayiri likure nin na taun ligowe ninghe.
Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Vat nayiri ane nan nta, na nwayene umong nan nya nono katwe ba, ma Yakuburi cas gwanan NCikilare nwa yeneghe ku.
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Yenen nbun Kutellẹ wang, na ndimunu kinu nan nya niyerte na nsu minu ba.
I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
21 Nin kiddughe nmini wa do nmin Siriya nin silisiya.
Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Vat nani nan nyan Yahudiya alenge na iwa dortu nan nya nilarin nlira wa di isa yinni ba.
I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23 Iwa din lanzun belle nighere cas, '' Ulenge na awa nadi unan lantizu nari ukul nengene din su uwazi in yinnu ulenge na ame wadin musuzun unin.''
They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24 Inani wa tizu Kutellẹ gongong bara mewẹ.
And they glorified God because of me.
