Galati 1
1 Hlang lamkah pawt tih, hlang rhangnen pawt tih, Jesuh Khrih neh duek lamkah anih aka thoh a pa Pathen rhangneh caeltueih Paul neh,
Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through a man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
2 ka taengkah manuca boeih loh Galati hlangboel rhoek taengah kan yaak sak.
and all the brothers with me, to the congregations in Galatia:
3 Mamih a pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah nangmih taengah om saeh.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Mamih kah tholhnah kongah amah aka hnawn uh te. Te daengah ni ta kumhal kah aka pai boethae khui lamloh a pa neh Pathen kah kongaih bangla mamih n'hlawt eh. (aiōn g165)
who gave Himself for our sins, so that He might deliver us out of this present malignant age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Khrih kah lungvatnah dongah nangmih aka khue taeng lamloh a tloe olthangthen la ki na buung uh te ka ngaihmang van.
I am sadly surprised that you are turning away so quickly from the one who called you by the grace of Christ, to a different gospel
7 Te te a tloe la a om moenih. Te pawt akhaw nangmih aka hinghuen tih Khrih kah olthangthen palet ham aka ngaih tehlangvang na om uh.
—it is not a mere variation, but certain people are unsettling you and wanting to distort the Gospel of the Christ.
8 Tedae kaimih neh vaan lamkah puencawn long pataeng nangmih taengah ka phong uh te nangmih ham voelh a phong atah kosi yook saeh.
Now even if we, or an angel out of heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed!
9 Thui tangtae vanbangla tahae akhaw koep ka thui. Pakhat mai loh na doe uh tangtae te nangmih taengah voelh a phong atah kosi yook saeh.
As we have just said, I here emphatically repeat: If anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed!
10 Hlang nim, Pathen nim ka ngaitang coeng he. Hlang kolo nim ka toem. Hlang taengah ka ko a lo ka om pueng atah Khrih kah sal la ka om eh ka ti moenih.
Am I just now appealing to men, or to God? Or am I trying to please men? You see, if I were still pleasing men I would not be a slave of Christ.
11 Te dongah manuca rhoek nangmih taengah ka phoe coeng. Kai loh ka phong olthangthen he hlang dongah a kungsut moenih.
Now I want you to know, brothers, that the Gospel preached by me is not according to man;
12 Kai tah hlang lamloh ka doe pawt tih n'thuituen bal moenih. Tedae Jesuh Khrih kah pumphoenah rhangnen ni.
because I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather it came through a revelation from Christ.
13 Hnukbuet kah Judah sing neh ka omih te na yaak uh coeng. A puehkan aih la Pathen kah hlangboel te ka hnaemtaek tih ka thup.
You have heard of my former conduct while in Judaism, how I was rabid in my persecution of God's Church and tried to annihilate it;
14 Judah sing dongah ka namtu lakli kah thawnpuei rhoek lakah ka lamhma. Kamah patuel rhoek kah singyoe aka om dongah khaw muep ka hmae.
indeed I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age, being far more zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.
15 Tedae a nu bung lamloh kai aka hoep tih a lungvatnah neh aka khue Pathen loh, a capa te ka pum dongah pumphoe sak ham a lungtlun.
But when God—who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through His grace—resolved
16 Amah te ni namtom taengah ka thui eh. Thii neh saa neh koeloe ka thaem moenih.
to reveal His Son in me so that I might proclaim Him among the nations/Gentiles, I did not start by consulting with flesh and blood,
17 Kai hlankah caeltueih rhoek taengah Jerusalem lam khaw ka cet pawh. Tedae Arabia la ka cet tih Damasku la koep ka bal.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before I was; rather I went off into Arabia, and then returned to Damascus.
18 Te lamkah a kum thum phoeiah Jerusalem la ka cet tih Kephas te ka ming. Te vaengah anih taengah hnin hlainga ka om.
Subsequently, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to compare notes with Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Tedae Boeipa kah a mana James pawt atah a tloe caeltueih rhoek te ka hmu pawh.
(I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Te dongah Pathen hmuhah ka laithae moenih tila nangmih ham ka daek he ne.
Really, before God, I am not lying in what I write to you.)
21 Te phoeiah Syria neh Kilikia pingpang la ka pawk.
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Tedae ka om vaengkah Khrih ah Judea kah hlangboel maelhmai te khaw ka mangvawt coeng.
So I remained unknown by face to the congregations of Judea (those in Christ)
23 Tedae, “Hnukbuet kah mamih aka hnaemtaek loh hnukbuet kah a phae tangnah te a phong coeng,” tila a yaak uh dawk nen ni a om uh.
—they just kept hearing that “He who once persecuted us now proclaims the faith he formerly tried to destroy.”
24 Te vaengah kai dong lamloh Pathen te a thangpom uh.
And they glorified God about me.
