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 men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back 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 the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
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, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it. (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 surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;
7 ma chutho ok en Injili. Kuom adiera nitie jomoko marundo pachu ka gitemo mondo gilok Injili mar Kristo obed gimoro nono.
Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.
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 if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.
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 say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.
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.
Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Jowetena, adwaro ni mondo ungʼe ni Injili mane ayalonu ok en gimoro ma dhano ema ochuogo.
Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.
12 Ne ok ayude kuom dhano moro amora, to bende ne ok opuonjago. Yesu Kristo owuon ema nofwenyona wachno.
For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
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 news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to 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.
And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from 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 it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,
16 mondo ofwenyna Wuode, mondo ayal Wach Maber e kind joma ok jo-Yahudi, to ne ok apenjo ngʼato angʼata,
To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of 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.
And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back 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 was there 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 only James, the Lord's brother.
20 Awachonu Adier e nyim Nyasaye ni weche ma andikonugi ok gin miriambo.
Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.
21 Bangʼe ne adhi e gwenge mag Siria kod Kilikia.
Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 E kindeno kanisa man Judea moyie kuom Kristo ne pok oyanga malongʼo ni an ngʼa.
And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:
23 Negisewinjo mana wach niya, “Ngʼat ma yande sandowa bende tinde yalo kuom yie ma notemo ketho e kinde mosekalo.”
Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;
24 Kendo mano nomiyo gimiyo Nyasaye duongʼ nikech an.
And they gave glory to God in me.
