Agalatiya 1
1 Paulo mtumwi, osati wosankhidwa ndi anthu kapena kutumidwa ndi munthu ayi, koma Yesu Khristu, ndi Mulungu Atate amene anamuukitsa Yesuyo kwa akufa,
Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead),
2 pamodzi ndi abale onse amene ali nane, Kulembera mipingo ya ku Galatiya:
and all the brothers with me, to the congregations of Galatia:
3 Chisomo ndi mtendere zochokera kwa Mulungu Atate athu ndi Ambuye Yesu Khristu zikhale nanu.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ
4 Yesuyo anadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha machimo athu kuti atipulumutse ku njira za moyo woyipa uno, molingana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu ndi Atate athu. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, so that he might rescue us, according to the will of our God and Father, out of the evil age that has come, (aiōn g165)
to whom is the glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
6 Ine ndikudabwa kuti mukusiya mwamsangamsanga chotere Mulungu amene anakuyitanani mwachisomo cha Khristu ndipo mwatembenuka ndi kutsatira uthenga wina wosiyana,
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ to another good news,
7 umene si Uthenga Wabwino konse. Pali anthu ena amene akukusokonezani komanso akufuna kupotoza Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu.
which is not another, except there are some who confuse you, and who want to pervert the good news of the Christ.
8 Ngakhale ife kapena mngelo wochokera kumwamba, akalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wosiyana ndi umene tinakulalikirani uja, iyeyo akhale wotembereredwa!
But even if we, or an agent from heaven, should preach a good news to you contrary to what we preached to you, let him be accursed.
9 Monga tanena kale, tsopano ndikubwereza kunenanso kuti, “Ngati wina aliyense akulalikirani Uthenga Wabwino wosiyana ndi umene munawulandira, iyeyo akhale wotembereredwa.”
As we have said before, I now also say again, if any man preaches a good news to you contrary to what ye received, let him be accursed.
10 Kodi tsopano ndikufuna kukopa anthu kuti andivomereze, kapena Mulungu? Kapena ndikufuna kukondweretsa anthu? Ngati ine ndikanakhala kuti ndikufunabe kukondweretsa anthu, sindikanakhala mtumiki wa Khristu.
For do I now trust men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were still pleasing men I would not be a bondman of Christ.
11 Abale, ine ndikufuna kuti mudziwe, kuti Uthenga Wabwino umene ndinalalikira si ochokera kwa munthu ayi.
For I make known to you, brothers, the good news that was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12 Ine sindinawulandire kuchokera kwa munthu aliyense, kapena kuphunzitsidwa; koma ndinawulandira mwa vumbulutso lochokera kwa Khristu.
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it was through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Pakuti inu munamva za moyo wanga wakale mʼChiyuda, mmene ndinkazunzira mpingo wa Mulungu koopsa ndi kuyesetsa kuwuwononga.
For ye heard of my former behavior in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God to extraordinariness, and ravaged it.
14 Ine ndinkapambana Ayuda ambiri a msinkhu wanga pochita za Chiyuda, ndipo ndinali wachangu koposa pa miyambo ya makolo athu.
And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries among my race, being a more extreme zealot of my paternal traditions.
15 Koma Mulungu, amene anandipatula ine ndisanabadwe, ndi kundiyitana mwachisomo chake, atakondweretsedwa
But when it pleased God who separated me from my mother's belly, and called me through his grace,
16 kuvumbulutsa Mwana wake mwa ine, kuti ndikalalikire Khristuyo pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina, ine sindinapemphe nzeru kwa munthu aliyense.
to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not straightaway confer with flesh and blood,
17 Ine sindinapite ku Yerusalemu kukaonana ndi amene anali atumwi ine ndisanakhale mtumwi. Mʼmalo mwake nthawi yomweyo ndinapita ku Arabiya ndi kubwereranso ku Damasiko.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
18 Pambuyo pake, patatha zaka zitatu, ndinapita ku Yerusalemu kukaonana ndi Petro ndikukhala naye masiku khumi ndi asanu.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days.
19 Ine sindinaonane ndi atumwi enawo koma Yakobo yekha, mʼbale wa Ambuye.
But I did not see another of the apostles except James the Lord's brother.
20 Ine ndikutsimikizira inu pamaso pa Mulungu kuti zimene ndikukulemberani si zonama ayi.
Now what I write to you, behold before God, I do not lie.
21 Pambuyo pake ndinapita ku Siriya ndi ku Kilikiya.
Later I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Koma sindimadziwika ndi nkhope ku mipingo ya ku Yudeya imene ili mwa Khristu.
And I was unknown by face to the congregations of Judea in Christ,
23 Iwo anangomva mbiri yokha yakuti, “Munthu amene poyamba anatizunza ife, tsopano akulalikira chikhulupiriro chimene iyeyo nthawi ina anafuna kuchiwononga.”
but they were only hearing that the man who once persecuted us now preaches the good news, the faith that he once ravaged.
24 Ndipo iwo anayamika Mulungu chifukwa cha ine.
And they glorified God in me.
