Galasi 1
1 Mwen, Paul, yon apot ki pa t voye pa lèzòm, ni pa okenn ajans lòm, men pa Jésus Kri, ak Bondye Papa a, ki te fè L leve soti nan lanmò—
Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 ak tout frè ki avèk mwen yo; a tout legliz nan Galatie yo:
and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Gras pou nou menm ak lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou an, ak Senyè a, Jésus Kri,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 ki te bay tèt li pou peche nou yo, pou Li ta kapab delivre nou de tan mechan sila a, selon volonte Bondye ak Papa nou an. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Mwen sezi ke nou ase vit ap abandone Sila ki te rele nou pa lagras a Kris la, pou yon lòt levanjil;
I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;
7 ki pa vrèman yon lòt, men sèlman gen kèk moun k ap twouble nou e ki vle defòme levanjil a Kris la.
which is not another [gospel]: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Men menmsi nou menm, oubyen yon zanj ki soti nan syèl la, ta preche a nou yon levanjil ki apa de sila nou te preche a nou menm nan, li ta dwe madichonnen.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.
9 Jan nou te di nou avan an, donk mwen di nou koulye a ankò, si yon moun ap preche nou yon levanjil ki kontrè de sila nou te resevwa a, li dwe madichonnen.
As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.
10 Alò, èske koulye a mwen ap chache favè lòm, oubyen Bondye? Oubyen èske m ap fòse fè lòm plezi? Si mwen t ap toujou eseye fè lòm plezi, mwen pa t ap yon sèvitè a Kris la.
For am I now persuading men, or God? or am I seeking to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
11 Paske mwen ta fè nou konnen, frè m yo, ke levanjil ki te preche pa mwen menm nan se pa selon lòm.
For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.
12 Paske mwen pa t ni resevwa l soti nan lòm, ni mwen pa t enstwi pou li, men mwen te resevwa l atravè yon revelasyon a Jésus Kri.
For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Paske, nou konn tande listwa a fason lavi mwen nan lafwa Jwif la; jan mwen te konn pèsekite legliz a Bondye a depase limit, e te eseye detwi li.
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havock of it:
14 Konsa, mwen t ap avanse nan relijyon Jwif la depase anpil nan moun Jwif parèy mwen yo akoz ke mwen te ekstrèmman zele pou tradisyon zansèt mwen yo.
and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Men lè Bondye, ki te mete m apa depi nan vant manman m nan, e te rele mwen selon gras Li a, te kontan
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,
16 pou revele Fis Li a nan mwen menm, pou mwen ta kapab preche li pami pèp etranje yo, mwen pa t nan moman sa a konsilte avèk chè ak san.
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Ni mwen pa t monte Jérusalem pou jwenn sila ki te apot avan mwen yo, men mwen te ale an Arabie, e mwen te retounen yon fwa ankò vè Damas.
neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.
18 Answit twaz an pita, mwen te monte Jérusalem pou fè konesans ak Céphas, e te rete avèk li pandan kenz jou.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.
19 Men mwen pa t wè okenn nan lòt apot yo eksepte Jacques, frè a Senyè a.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
20 (Alò, nan sa ke m ap ekri nou an, mwen bannou asirans devan Bondye ke mwen p ap bay manti.)
Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Konsa mwen te ale nan rejyon Syrie ak Cilicie.
Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Mwen te toujou enkoni devan zye a legliz Judée ki te an Kris yo,
And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 men sèlman, yo te kontinye tande: “Sila ki te konn pèsekite nou an koulye a ap preche lafwa ke avan li te eseye detwi a.”
but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havock;
24 Konsa, yo t ap bay Bondye glwa akoz de mwen menm.
and they glorified God in me.
