Jo-Galatia 1
1 An Paulo, andikonu kaka jaote ma ok oor gi teko kata dwaro mar dhano, to mana gi teko mar Yesu Kristo gi Nyasaye Wuora mane ochiere oa kuom joma otho.
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus (the) Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 Andikonu kaachiel gi jowete duto man koda, Un kanisa mar jo-Galatia.
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Ngʼwono kod kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah,
4 Yesu nochiwore nikech richowa mondo ogonywa waa e kethruok mag ndalogi, kaluwore gi dwaro mar Nyasachwa kendo Wuonwa. (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 Awuoro ahinya kaka uselokoru piyo piyo nono, mi uweyo Jal mane oluongou kuom ngʼwono mar Kristo, kendo koro uluwo Injili mopogore gi mane opuonju,
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Messiah to a different gospel;
7 ma chutho ok en Injili. Kuom adiera nitie jomoko marundo pachu ka gitemo mondo gilok Injili mar Kristo obed gimoro nono.
and there is not another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the gospel of Messiah.
8 To ka ngʼato dipuonju Injili machielo mopogore gi mano mane wapuonjou, bed ni en wan, kata malaika moro moa e polo, to mondo okwongʼe nyaka chiengʼ.
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 Mana kaka wasewacho e kaka achako awacho kendo: Ka ngʼato koro yalonu Injili ma opogore gi mane urwako, to Nyasaye mondo okwongʼe nyaka chiengʼ!
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 Uparo ni koro adwaro pak moa kuom dhano? Ooyo, adwaro pak moa kuom Nyasaye. Koso uparo ni atemo moro dhano? Kane bed ni pod ne adwaro moro dhano, to dine ok abedo jatich Kristo.
For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Messiah.
11 Jowetena, adwaro ni mondo ungʼe ni Injili mane ayalonu ok en gimoro ma dhano ema ochuogo.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 Ne ok ayude kuom dhano moro amora, to bende ne ok opuonjago. Yesu Kristo owuon ema nofwenyona wachno.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus (the) Messiah.
13 Nyaka bed ni usewinjo kaka ne achal kane pod aluwo kit lemo mar jo-Yahudi, kaka ne asando kanisa mar Nyasaye gi gero mokalo apima, kendo ne atemo mondo atieke chuth.
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 Jo-Yahudi mangʼeny ma mbesena ne aloyo kuom lony e kit lemo marwa, kendo ne aketo chunya mar rito chike duto mag kwerena.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 To ka Nyasaye, mane owala mi oketa tenge kaka gir tichne kane pok onywola, kendo mane oluonga kuom ngʼwonone, nohero
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 mondo ofwenyna Wuode, mondo ayal Wach Maber e kind joma ok jo-Yahudi, to ne ok apenjo ngʼato angʼata,
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 kendo ne ok adhi Jerusalem mondo ane jogo mane okuongona bedo joote, to ne adhi moriere tir nyaka e piny jo-Arabu eka bangʼe naduogo Damaski.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 To bangʼ higni adek ne adhi nyaka Jerusalem mondo angʼera gi Petro, kendo ne adak kode kuom ndalo apar gabich.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Ne ok aneno kata achiel kuom joote mamoko, makmana Jakobo ma owadgi Ruoth.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Awachonu Adier e nyim Nyasaye ni weche ma andikonugi ok gin miriambo.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Bangʼe ne adhi e gwenge mag Siria kod Kilikia.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 E kindeno kanisa man Judea moyie kuom Kristo ne pok oyanga malongʼo ni an ngʼa.
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Messiah,
23 Negisewinjo mana wach niya, “Ngʼat ma yande sandowa bende tinde yalo kuom yie ma notemo ketho e kinde mosekalo.”
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Kendo mano nomiyo gimiyo Nyasaye duongʼ nikech an.
And they glorified God because of me.
