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 emissary—not from men, nor through man, but through Yeshua the Messiah, 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 brothers who are with me, to the assemblies 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 Yeshua the Messiah,
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 age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
to whom be the glory forever 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 you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Messiah to a different “good news”,
7 Itre ri na hei na naki, indji bari wa ba jin wa yu ni ye, ba son nda kpah tre Almasihu ti meme.
but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Messiah.
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 even though we, or an angel from heaven, should proclaim to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
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 I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
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 seeking the favour of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Messiah.
11 Mi son du yi toh fa mri yah, itre wa misi dub ni yiwu, ana hi u indji na.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12 Mina kpa ni ndji na, indrjori na tsro me na, nakima Yesu Almasihu'a hran ni mu.
For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua the Messiah.
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 you have heard of my way of living in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
14 Mi ta guchi ni Yahudawa ba zan bari fie me ni zren ba tti mbu u sen.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age amongst 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 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 proclaim him amongst the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer 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.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were emissaries before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to 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 Peter, and stayed 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 of the other emissaries I saw no one except Jacob, 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 about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
21 Niki mika hi ni nklan Suriya ba Silisiya.
Then I came to 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.
I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Messiah,
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, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
24 Basi no Irji ninkon nitu mu.
So they glorified God in me.
