Kaletia 1
1 Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo, (ʻikai mei he kau tangata, pe ʻi ha tangata, kae meia Sisu Kalaisi, mo e ʻOtua ko e Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia; )
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 Pea mo e ngaahi kāinga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, ki he ngaahi siasi ʻi Kalētia:
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mo e melino mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, pea mo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 ʻAia naʻa ne foaki ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi angahala, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he maama kovi ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai: (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 ʻOku ou ofo ʻi hoʻomou hiki vave pehē meiate ia naʻa ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi, ki he ongoongolelei ʻe taha:
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different "good news";
7 ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai “ko e taha kehe moʻoni;” ka ʻoku ai ʻae niʻihi ʻoku fakamamahi ʻakimoutolu, pea ko honau loto ke fakakehe ʻae ongoongolelei ʻa Kalaisi.
and there is not another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Kapau ʻe malangaʻaki ʻekimautolu, pe ha ʻāngelo mei he langi, ha ongoongolelei kehe kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko ia naʻa mau malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ke malaʻia pe ia.
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 ʻO hangē ko ia naʻa mau tomuʻa lea ʻaki, peau toe lea ʻaki eni, Kapau ʻe malangaʻaki ʻe ha taha ha ongoongolelei kehe kiate kimoutolu, kae ʻikai ko ia kuo mou maʻu, ke malaʻia pe ia.
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 He ʻoku ou fai ni ko e fakafiemālieʻi ki he tangata, pe ko e ʻOtua? Pe ko ʻeku fai ni ke lelei pe ki he tangata? He kapau ʻoku ou kei fai ke lelei ki he tangata, ʻoku ʻikai ko e tamaioʻeiki au ʻa Kalaisi.
For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Pea ʻoku ou fakapapau atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ko e ongoongolelei naʻaku malangaʻaki, ʻoku ʻikai mei he tangata ia.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 He naʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ia mei ha tangata, pea naʻe ʻikai ako ia kiate au, ka ʻi hono fakahā mai ʻe Sisu Kalaisi.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 He kuo mou fanongo ki heʻeku ʻulungāanga ʻi muʻa ʻi he lotu fakaSiu, he naʻaku fakatanga ʻo lahi hake ʻaupito ʻae siasi ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo maumauʻi ia:
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 Mo ʻeku fai lahi ki he lotu fakaSiu ʻo lahi hake ʻi he tokolahi naʻa mau toʻutangata ʻi hoku fonua, he naʻaku fai feinga ʻo lahi hake ʻaupito ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tamai.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Ka ʻi he finangalo lelei ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fakamavae au mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē, ʻo ne ui au ʻi heʻene angaʻofa,
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 Ke fakahā hono ʻAlo ʻiate au, koeʻuhi ke u malangaʻaki ia ʻi he ngaahi Senitaile; naʻe ʻikai leva te u fakakaukau mo e kakano mo e toto:
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻaposetolo ʻi muʻa ʻiate au; ka naʻaku ʻalu ki ʻAlepea, peau toe liu mai ki Tamasikusi.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu, ne u ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema, ke feʻiloaki mo Pita, pea nofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma nima.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Ka naʻe ʻikai te u mamata ki ha niʻihi ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo, ka ko Semisi, ko e tokoua ʻoe ʻEiki.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Pea ko eni, ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, vakai, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai teu loi.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Hili ia, naʻaku haʻu ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Silia mo Silisia;
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa hoku mata ʻe he ngaahi siasi ʻo Siutea ʻaia naʻe ʻia Kalaisi:
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ,
23 Kae ngata pe ʻi heʻenau fanongo, “Ko ia ia naʻa ne fakatangaʻi ʻakitautolu ʻi muʻa, ʻoku ne malangaʻaki ni ʻae tui ʻaia naʻa ne tomuʻa maumauʻi.”
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Pea naʻa nau fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻae ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko au.
And they glorified God because of me.
