Galatiyawa 1
1 Bulus, indji u toh du toh du mu, ana rji ni ndji na, naki a rji ni Yesu Almasihu ni Irji Bachi wa a rju'u ni mi be -
Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 Ime ni mri vayi mu wa ba hei ni me ni wayi, misi han ni yu'u iklisiyoyi wa ba heini Galatiya.
and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Zizi ye ni yu'u ni sun si rji ni Irji Bachi mbu ni Bachi mbu Yesu Almasihu.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Wa ano tuma nitu lahtre mbu, nda chu ta rju ni meme ngbungblu yi, ni mri Irji ni Bachi mbu. (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 Mi manji ma wokran kpukpome wa bi kma hu nkon ri gbagbla me hi ni itre ri kan naki mi manji ma wokran yada bi kabi ni wa ayo yi ni zizi u Almasihu.
I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;
7 Itre ri na hei na naki, indji bari wa ba jin wa yu ni ye, ba son nda kpah tre Almasihu ti meme.
which is not another [gospel]: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Naki kita ni u to ndu Irji rjini shu nda hla tre ri kan ni yu ni wa kita ki duba ni yu'u, ba hla ndi kima.
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 Na yada ki hla ni yiwu ni mumla, zizan mi si hla ni yiwu, inde ndji ri a la dub itre ri kan ni wa bi kpa ba hla'u.
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 Zizan misi wa shaida ndi ko u Irji? misi wa du ndi duba kpa yeim ni me? inde zizan mi sima ndi dun ndji kpa nyeme nime, i mina gran Almasihu na.
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 Mi son du yi toh fa mri yah, itre wa misi dub ni yiwu, ana hi u indji na.
For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.
12 Mina kpa ni ndji na, indrjori na tsro me na, nakima Yesu Almasihu'a hran ni mu.
For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Bi riga di wo na mina hei nimi Yahudawa, ndi ta ti iklisiya Irji yah kpukpome zan bari di kpa ba tie meme.
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 Mi ta guchi ni Yahudawa ba zan bari fie me ni zren ba tti mbu u sen.
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 Naki ma Irji toh a bi du chu me ni ne yi mu rju nda yo me ni mi ndindima.
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 A tsro ta ivren ma, dume dub ni biwa bana toh Irji na. Gbagbla mi na suron mu ni nanma ni yi na.
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Nakima mina hi ni Wurushelima na ni bi wa ba guchi hi toh ndu nimu na. Naki ma mi ka yi ni Arabiya, niki me ka k'ma ye ni Damasku.
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 Naki ma ise tra a kle, imi hi ni Wurushelima ndi mi toh Kefas, mi sun ni yiwu ivie wulon don ton.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.
19 Niki mina toh ko indji ri na ni mi mbi ton du na, se Yakubu ni kagrji ma vayi Bachi mbu.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
20 To ba ni k'bu Irji mina si ti ce ni tu ikpe wa mi han ni yiwu na.
Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Niki mika hi ni nklan Suriya ba Silisiya.
Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Ni nton kima indrjo na toh me ni shishi ni iklisiyoyi Yahudawa wa ba he ni mi Almasihu na.
And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 Nakima baka woh ndi, ndji wa ta ti ta yah, zizan asi dub kponji tre wa ana son da kpa tie meme.
but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havock;
24 Basi no Irji ninkon nitu mu.
and they glorified God in me.
