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 the apostle (not sent from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and our Father who raised him from the dead),
2 Andikonu kaachiel gi jowete duto man koda, Un kanisa mar jo-Galatia.
and all the brethren with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Ngʼwono kod kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo,
grace unto 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, that he might pluck us out of this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory for ever 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 marvel that ye are so quickly departed from him that called you, by the grace of Christ into another gospel
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; but there are certain persons who trouble you, and desire to pervert the gospel 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 though even we, or an angel from heaven, preach unto you another gospel, different from that which we have preached to you, let him be an anathema.
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 before spoken, and I now repeat it again, If any man preach a gospel different from that ye have received, let him be anathema.
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 do I now use persuasions from men, or from God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 Jowetena, adwaro ni mondo ungʼe ni Injili mane ayalonu ok en gimoro ma dhano ema ochuogo.
But I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not a merely human ministry.
12 Ne ok ayude kuom dhano moro amora, to bende ne ok opuonjago. Yesu Kristo owuon ema nofwenyona wachno.
For I neither received it from man, nor was taught, but by immediate revelation from 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 ye have heard of my former manner of life, when I professed Judaism, that in the most outrageous manner I persecuted the church of God, and wasted 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 signalized myself in Judaism above many of those of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly a zealot 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 it pleased God, who selected me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
16 mondo ofwenyna Wuode, mondo ayal Wach Maber e kind joma ok jo-Yahudi, to ne ok apenjo ngʼato angʼata,
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach the glad tidings of him to the nations, immediately I conferred not 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 went up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 To bangʼ higni adek ne adhi nyaka Jerusalem mondo angʼera gi Petro, kendo ne adak kode kuom ndalo apar gabich.
Afterwards at the expiration of three years I went up unto Jerusalem to pay a visit to Peter, and I abode with him fifteen days.
19 Ne ok aneno kata achiel kuom joote mamoko, makmana Jakobo ma owadgi Ruoth.
But I saw no other of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Awachonu Adier e nyim Nyasaye ni weche ma andikonugi ok gin miriambo.
Now respecting the things which I write unto you, behold, in the presence of God, I lie not.
21 Bangʼe ne adhi e gwenge mag Siria kod Kilikia.
Afterwards I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 E kindeno kanisa man Judea moyie kuom Kristo ne pok oyanga malongʼo ni an ngʼa.
and I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea, which are in Christ:
23 Negisewinjo mana wach niya, “Ngʼat ma yande sandowa bende tinde yalo kuom yie ma notemo ketho e kinde mosekalo.”
only they had heard, that he who persecuted us in time past, now preaches the faith which he once laid waste.
24 Kendo mano nomiyo gimiyo Nyasaye duongʼ nikech an.
And they glorified God on my behalf.
