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 any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among the dead--
2 Nin linuana vat na idi ligowe nin mi udu nilarin nlira in Galatiya.
and all the brethren who are 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,
May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our 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 to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father. (aiōn g165)
5 Kitimerẹ ngongong so saligan Usonani. (aiōn g165)
To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! 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 marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.
7 Na umong ulirun tuchu duku ugang ba, vat nani among anit din fizu ayi nanit inan musuzu ulirun tuchun Kristi.
For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning 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 if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.
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.''
What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.
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.
For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.
11 Bara ndinin su iyinin nuana, ulirun ntuchu na ndin bellu na un na nitari ba.
For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.
12 Na nna seru kitin nitari ba, a na umon na dursuzai unin ba, una na nadak kitinighe unuzu kitin Yisa Kristari.
For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a 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 early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of 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.
and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.
15 Kubi ko na Kutellẹ wa lanza nmang afereyi ndutu nan nya liburin naning. Awa yicilai nan nya me.
But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,
16 Adurso Gono me kiti ning, nnan yino ubellun liru me kitik nalumai. Na nwa mala upizuru in yinnu nin kidowo nin mï ba,
saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,
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 those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.
18 Na akus atat nnin kata, nnin ghana udu lizi ngan Kefas in Urushalima nta ayiri likure nin na taun ligowe ninghe.
Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.
19 Vat nayiri ane nan nta, na nwayene umong nan nya nono katwe ba, ma Yakuburi cas gwanan NCikilare nwa yeneghe ku.
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.
In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.
21 Nin kiddughe nmini wa do nmin Siriya nin silisiya.
Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.
22 Vat nani nan nyan Yahudiya alenge na iwa dortu nan nya nilarin nlira wa di isa yinni ba.
But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.
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 it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."
24 Inani wa tizu Kutellẹ gongong bara mewẹ.
And they gave glory to God on my account.
