Galati 1
1 Kai Pawl hoi kai koe kaawm e hmaunawngha abuemlah ni, Galati ram kaawm e kawhmounnaw ca na patawn awh.
To the churches in Galatia, from Paul, an apostle whose commission is not from any human authority and is given, not by human beings, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead;
2 Kai teh guncei lah ka o nahanlah tami ni na patoun e hoi tha e hai nahoeh. Jisuh Khrih duenae koehoi kathawsakkung Cathut ni na kaw e lah doeh ka o.
and from all the followers of the Lord here.
3 Maimae Pa Cathut hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih koe e lungmanae hoi roumnae teh nangmouh koe awm lawiseh.
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you and give you peace.
4 Atu e se kathout thung hoi maimouh teh hlout sak hanelah maimae Cathut hoi na Pa ni a ngai e patetlah ama teh maimae yon kecu a kâhmoun. (aiōn g165)
For Christ, to rescue us from this present wicked age, gave himself for our sins, in accordance with the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be ascribed all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Nangmouh teh, Khrih e lungmanae dawk hoi na kakawkung Bawipa e kamthang kahawi hloilah, alouke kamthang lawk koe tang na kamlang awh dawkvah ka ka ngai lah a ru.
I am astonished at your so soon deserting him, who called you through the love of Christ, for a different “good news,”
7 Hote kamthang lawk teh kamthang kahawi nahoeh. Nangmanaw tarawk hane hoi Khrih e kamthang kahawi hah bungling hanelah a ngai a dawk doeh.
which is really no good news at all. But then, I know that there are people who are harassing you, and who want to pervert the good news of the Christ.
8 Hatei, kaimouh thung dawk hoi nakunghai, kalvan hoi ka tho e kalvantami nakunghai, kaimouh ni ka dei awh e kamthang kahawi patetlah ka dei hoeh e teh thoebo e lah awmseh.
Yet even if we – or if an angel from heaven were to tell you any other “good news” than that which we told you, may he be accursed!
9 Ahmaloe, kaimouh ni ka dei awh tangcoung e patetlah atu hai bout ka dei e teh, apipatet ni hai nangmouh ni na dâw tangcoung e kamthang kahawi hoi kâvan laipalah, ka pâpho e tami teh thoebo lah awmseh.
We have said it before, and I repeat it now – If anyone tells you a “good news” other than that which you received, may he be accursed!
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah kai heh tami e minhmai kahawi hmu hanelah ka kâyawm e na ou. Cathut koe e minhmai kahawi hmu hanelah kâyawm e na ou. Nahoeh pawiteh, tami ngainae dawk kâyawm e na ou. Tami ngainae lahoi kâyawm pawiteh Khrih san lah kaawm e nahoeh.
Is this, I ask, trying to conciliate people, or God? Am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I should not be a servant of Christ.
11 Hmaunawnghanaw kai ni ka dei e kamthang kahawi heh tami koe lahoi ka coe e nahoeh tie teh koung na panue thai nahan na ngaikhai awh.
I remind you, friends, that the good news which I told is no mere human invention.
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot hateh tami koehoi kai ni ka coe e nahoeh. Cangnae dawk hai nahoeh. Jisuh Khrih e a kâpâphonae dawk hoi kai ni ka coe e doeh.
I, at least, did not receive it from any human being, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through a revelation made by Jesus Christ.
13 Judah phunglah kahring navah Cathut e kawhmoun hah ka rektap teh raphoe hanelah ka kâyawm.
You heard, no doubt, of my conduct when I was devoted to Judaism – how I persecuted the church of God to an extent beyond belief, and tried to destroy it,
14 Mintoenaw e cangkhainae dawk ka lung atang teh, ka huikonaw hlak Judah phung hoe ka tarawi e hah na panue awh.
and how, in my devotion to Judaism, I surpassed many of my contemporaries among my own people in my intense earnestness in upholding the traditions of my ancestors.
15 Hatei anu vawn thung ka o na patenghai yah, Capa e kamthang kahawi pâpho hanelah, amae lungmanae lahoi kai hah na ka rawi niteh, na kakaw e Cathut niyah,
But when God, who had set me apart even before my birth, and who called me by his love,
16 hote Capa hah kai koe pâpho hanelah a ngainae ao navah, Capa e kong Jentelnaw koe pâpho hanlah, kai teh ka takthai hoi ka kapan hoeh.
saw fit to reveal his Son in me, so that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, then at once, instead of consulting any human being,
17 Ahmaloe e gunceinaw aonae koe Jerusalem hai ka cet laipalah, Arabia ram lah hmatara ka cei teh Damaskas kho bout ka ban.
or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me, I went to Arabia, and came back again to Damascus.
18 Hahoi kum thum touh a kuep hnukkhu Cephas (Cephas teh Piter tinae) hoi kâhmo hanlah ka ngai dawkvah, Jerusalem lah ka cei teh ahni koe hnin hlaipanga touh ka o.
Three years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem to make the acquaintance of Peter, and I stayed a fortnight with him.
19 Ahni hoi Bawipa Jisuh e a nawngha Jem laipalah alouke guncei buet touh hai ka hmawt hoeh.
I did not, however, see any other apostle, except James, the Master’s brother.
20 Ka thut e heh laithoe awmhoeh, atangcalah ao e heh Cathut ni a panue.
(As to what I am now writing to you, I call God to witness that I am speaking the truth).
21 Hathnukkhu vah, Siria ram hoi Cilicia ram lah vah ka cei.
Afterwards I went to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Khrih thung kaawm ni teh Judah ram e kawhmounnaw ni kai na panuek awh hoeh rah.
But I was still unknown even by sight to the Christian churches in Judea;
23 Ahmaloe vah, maimouh na ka rektap e tami ni raphoe hanlah ouk a kâyawm e yuemnae hah atu teh a kampangkhai toe tie dueng hah thai lah ao toung dawkvah,
all that they had heard was – “The man who once persecuted us is now telling the good news of the faith of which he once tried to destroy.”
24 ahnimouh ni kai kecu dawk Cathut bawilennae teh a pholen awh.
And they praised God for my sake.
