< Galatiya 1 >

1 Waxaa warqaddan qoraya Bawlos oo ah rasuul aan xagga dadka ka iman, oo aan dadna ku iman, laakiinse ku yimid Ciise Masiix iyo Ilaaha Aabbaha ah oo isaga ka sara kiciyey kuwii dhintay.
[I], Paul, [write this letter to you. I remind you that I am] an apostle. That is not because a group of people [appointed me], nor because a human being [sent me to be an apostle]. Instead, Jesus Christ and God [our heavenly] Father, who caused Jesus to become alive again after he died, have [appointed and] sent [me to be an apostle].
2 Aniga iyo walaalaha ila jooga oo dhammi waxaannu tan u qoraynaa kiniisadaha Galatiya.
All the fellow believers [who are here] with me [approve of this message that I am writing. I am sending this letter] to the congregations that [are] in Galatia [province].
3 Nimco ha idinla jirto iyo nabad ka timaada Ilaaha Aabbaha ah iyo Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix,
[I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
4 kan naftiisii u bixiyey dembiyadeenna aawadood, si uu inooga bixiyo dunidatan la joogo oo sharka leh sida ay tahay doonista kan Ilaah iyo Aabbe inoo ah. (aiōn g165)
Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn g165)
5 Isagaa ammaanta leh weligiis iyo weligiis. Aamiin. (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
6 Waxaan la yaabsanahay dhaqsiiyaha aad uga dhaqaaqaysaan kii nimcada Masiixa idiinku yeedhay, oo aad u leexanaysaan injiil kale,
I am very disappointed [IRO] that so soon [after you trusted in Christ] you have turned away from [God]. He chose you in order that [you might have what] Christ freely/kindly gives. I am also disappointed that so soon you are believing a different [message which some say is] “good news.”
7 oo aan ahayn mid kale, laakiin waxaa jira kuwo idin dhibaya, oo doonaya inay injiilka Masiixa qalloociyaan.
Their message is not a true message. [What is happening is that] certain persons are confusing your [minds]. They are desiring to change the good message (that Christ [revealed/about] Christ) [and are creating another message].
8 Laakiinse annaga ha noqoto ama malaa'ig samada ka timid ha noqotee, kii idinku wacdiya injiil aan ahayn kaannu idinku wacdinnay, ha inkaarnaado.
But even if we [(exc) apostles] or an angel from heaven would tell you a message that is different from the good message that we told you [before], I [appeal to God] that [he] punish such a person [forever].
9 Sidii aannu markii hore nidhi, waxaan haatanna leeyahay, Haddii nin idinku wacdiyo injiil kale oo aan ahayn kii aad aqbasheen, ha inkaarnaado.
As I told you previously, so now I tell you this once more: Someone is telling you [what he says is] a good message, but it is a message that is different from [the good message] that I gave you. So I [appeal to God] that [he] severely punish that person.
10 Ma waxaan haatan is-oggolaysiinayaa dadka mise Ilaah? Mise waxaan doondoonayaa inaan dadka ka farxiyo? Haddaan weli dadka ka sii farxinayo, ma aanan ahaadeen addoonkii Masiixa.
[I said that] because [RHQ] I do not desire that people approve me, [contrary to what some have said about me]. It is God whom I desire to approve me. [Specifically, I do not say and do] [RHQ] things just to please people. If it were still people whom I was trying to please, then I would not be one who [willingly and completely] serves Christ.
11 Walaalayaalow, waxaan idin ogaysiinayaa in injiilka aan idinku wacdiyey uusan ka iman xagga dadka.
My fellow believers, I want you to know that the message about Christ that I proclaim to people is not one that some person [created/thought up].
12 Waayo, kama aan helin xagga dadka, laymana barin, laakiin waxaa ii muujiyey Ciise Masiix.
I did not receive this message from a human [messenger], and no [human being] taught it to me. Instead, Jesus Christ revealed it to me.
13 Waad maqasheen dabiicaddaydii hore xagga diintii Yuhuudda, sidii aan kiniisaddii Ilaah aad iyo aad ugu silcin jiray oo u kharribi jiray.
People have told you how I used to behave when [I practiced] the Jewish religion. They told you that I continually did very harmful things to the groups of believers that God [established], and they told you that I tried to get rid of those people.
14 Oo kuwa badan oo asaaggay ah oo aan isku waddan nahay ayaan kaga hor maray diinta Yuhuudda, anigoo aad iyo aad ugu adag xeerarkii awowayaashay.
I practiced the Jewish religion more thoroughly than many [other Jews] who were my age practiced it. I much more enthusiastically tried to get others to obey the traditions that my ancestors [kept].
15 Laakiin Ilaaha uurkii hooyaday iga doortay, oo nimcadiisa iigu yeedhay, markuu ku farxay
Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
16 inuu Wiilkiisa iga dhex muujiyo inaan dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn ku wacdiyo isaga warkiisa, isla markaasba lama aan tashan bini aadan.
He wanted me to know that Jesus is (his Son/the man who is also God), so that I would tell others the message about him in regions where non-Jews live. But I did not immediately go to any human beings [SYN] in order to gain [an understanding of that message. I received it directly from Christ!]!
17 Yeruusaalemna uma aan aadin kuwii hortay rasuullada ahaa, laakiinse waxaan aaday dalka Carabta, dabadeedna waxaan ku soo noqday Dimishaq.
I did not [immediately] leave Damascus and go to Jerusalem [for that purpose] to those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away to Arabia [region, a desert area]. Later I returned once more to Damascus [city].
18 Kolkaasaan saddex sannadood dabadeed Yeruusaalem aaday inaan Keeyfas soo barto, oo shan iyo toban maalmood ayaan la joogay isagii.
Then three years after [God revealed this good message to me], I went up to Jerusalem in order that I might meet Peter. But I stayed with him for [only] 15 days, [which was not long enough for him to teach me thoroughly about Christ].
19 Laakiin rasuulladii kale midna kama arag, Yacquub oo ah Sayidka walaalkiis mooyaane.
I also saw James, the brother of our Lord [Jesus and the leader of the believers there, but] I did not see any other apostle.
20 Waxan aan idiin soo qorayo, Ilaah hortiis, been ka sheegi maayo.
God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
21 Markaas dabadeed waxaan imid xagga dalalka Suuriya iyo Kilikiya,
After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
22 oo weliba laygama weji garanayn kiniisadaha Masiixa oo Yahuudiya ku yiil.
[At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
23 Laakiin waxay maqleen oo keliya in la yidhi, Kii mar ina silcin jiray, hadda wuxuu wax ku wacdiyayaa iimaankii uu mar kharribi jiray.
They only heard [others say about me] repeatedly, “[Paul], the one who was formerly doing harmful things to us, is now telling the [same message] which we believe and which formerly he was trying (to destroy/to cause people to stop believing)!”
24 Oo Ilaah bay u ammaaneen daraadday.
And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
