Galati 1
1 Hlang lamkah pawt tih, hlang rhangnen pawt tih, Jesuh Khrih neh duek lamkah anih aka thoh a pa Pathen rhangneh caeltueih Paul neh,
Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father who raised him from the dead;
2 ka taengkah manuca boeih loh Galati hlangboel rhoek taengah kan yaak sak.
with all the brothers who are with me. To the churches of Galatia greeting.
3 Mamih a pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah nangmih taengah om saeh.
Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Mamih kah tholhnah kongah amah aka hnawn uh te. Te daengah ni ta kumhal kah aka pai boethae khui lamloh a pa neh Pathen kah kongaih bangla mamih n'hlawt eh. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age in accordance with the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Khrih kah lungvatnah dongah nangmih aka khue taeng lamloh a tloe olthangthen la ki na buung uh te ka ngaihmang van.
I am amazed that you are so soon shifting your ground, and deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ,
7 Te te a tloe la a om moenih. Te pawt akhaw nangmih aka hinghuen tih Khrih kah olthangthen palet ham aka ngaih te hlangvang na om uh.
for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Tedae kaimih neh vaan lamkah puencawn long pataeng nangmih taengah ka phong uh te nangmih ham voelh a phong atah kosi yook saeh.
But even though I myself or an angel from heaven were to preach any gospel other than that which I did preach to you, let him be accursed.
9 Thui tangtae vanbangla tahae akhaw koep ka thui. Pakhat mai loh na doe uh tangtae te nangmih taengah voelh a phong atah kosi yook saeh.
I have said it before, and I now repeat it, if any one is preaching a gospel to you other than that which you have received, let him be accursed.
10 Hlang nim, Pathen nim ka ngaitang coeng he. Hlang kolo nim ka toem. Hlang taengkah kolo ka toem pueng atah Khrih kah sal la ka om eh ka ti moenih.
Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.
11 Te dongah manuca rhoek nangmih taengah ka phoe coeng. Kai loh ka phong olthangthen he hlang dongah a kungsut moenih.
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel I preach is not man-made;
12 Kai tah hlang lamloh ka doe pawt tih n'thuituen bal moenih. Tedae Jesuh Khrih kah pumphoenah rhangnen ni.
for neither did I myself receive it from man, nor by man was I taught it, but by a revelation an apocalypse of Jesus Christ.
13 Hnukbuet kah Judah sing neh ka omih te na yaak uh coeng. A puehkan aih la Pathen kah hlangboel te ka hnaemtaek tih ka thup.
For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how furiously I used to persecute the church of God, and how I kept seeking to root it out;
14 Judah sing dongah ka namtu lakli kah thawnpuei rhoek lakah ka lamhma. Kamah patuel rhoek kah singyoe aka om dongah khaw muep ka hmae.
and how in my zeal for Judaism I outstripped many of my own age and nation, in my special zeal for the traditions of my forefathers.
15 Tedae a nu bung lamloh kai aka hoep tih a lungvatnah neh aka khue Pathen loh, a capa te ka pum dongah pumphoe sak ham a lungtlun.
But when God who had set me apart from my very birth,
16 Amah te ni namtom taengah ka thui eh. Thii neh saa neh koeloe ka thaem moenih.
and had called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach his gospel among the Gentiles, without consulting a human being,
17 Kai hlankah caeltueih rhoek taengah Jerusalem lam khaw ka cet pawh. Tedae Arabia la ka cet tih Damasku la koep ka bal.
or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who had been apostles before me, I went off at once to Arabia, and on my return came back to Damascus.
18 Te lamkah a kum thum phoeiah Jerusalem la ka cet tih Kephas te ka ming. Te vaengah anih taengah hnin hlainga ka om.
Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter, and spent two weeks with him.
19 Tedae Boeipa kah a mana James pawt atah a tloe caeltueih rhoek te ka hmu pawh.
I saw no other apostle except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Te dongah Pathen hmuhah ka laithae moenih tila nangmih ham ka daek he ne.
(In what I am now writing, I call God to witness that I am telling the truth.)
21 Te phoeiah Syria neh Kilikia pingpang la ka pawk.
Then I went into the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Tedae ka om vaengkah Khrih ah Judea kah hlangboel maelhmai te khaw ka mangvawt coeng.
But to the churches of Christ in Judea I was personally unknown;
23 Tedae, “Hnukbuet kah mamih aka hnaemtaek loh hnukbuet kah a phae tangnah te a phong coeng,” tila a yaak uh dawk nen ni a om uh.
only they used to hear it said, "He who was once persecuting us is now preaching the gospel of the very faith which he once tried to ruin."
24 Te vaengah kai dong lamloh Pathen te a thangpom uh.
And they were giving glory to God on my account.
