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 sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father who raised him from the dead;
2 Andikonu kaachiel gi jowete duto man koda, Un kanisa mar jo-Galatia.
with all the brothers who are with me. To the churches of Galatia greeting.
3 Ngʼwono kod kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo,
Grace be to you, and peace from God our 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 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 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 amazed that you are so soon shifting your ground, and deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ,
7 ma chutho ok en Injili. Kuom adiera nitie jomoko marundo pachu ka gitemo mondo gilok Injili mar Kristo obed gimoro nono.
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 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 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 Mana kaka wasewacho e kaka achako awacho kendo: Ka ngʼato koro yalonu Injili ma opogore gi mane urwako, to Nyasaye mondo okwongʼe nyaka chiengʼ!
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 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.
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 Jowetena, adwaro ni mondo ungʼe ni Injili mane ayalonu ok en gimoro ma dhano ema ochuogo.
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel I preach is not man-made;
12 Ne ok ayude kuom dhano moro amora, to bende ne ok opuonjago. Yesu Kristo owuon ema nofwenyona wachno.
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 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 conduct in Judaism, how furiously I used to persecute the church of God, and how I kept seeking to root it out;
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 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 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 very birth,
16 mondo ofwenyna Wuode, mondo ayal Wach Maber e kind joma ok jo-Yahudi, to ne ok apenjo ngʼato angʼata,
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 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.
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 To bangʼ higni adek ne adhi nyaka Jerusalem mondo angʼera gi Petro, kendo ne adak kode kuom ndalo apar gabich.
Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter, and spent two weeks with him.
19 Ne ok aneno kata achiel kuom joote mamoko, makmana Jakobo ma owadgi Ruoth.
I saw no other apostle except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Awachonu Adier e nyim Nyasaye ni weche ma andikonugi ok gin miriambo.
(In what I am now writing, I call God to witness that I am telling the truth.)
21 Bangʼe ne adhi e gwenge mag Siria kod Kilikia.
Then I went into the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 E kindeno kanisa man Judea moyie kuom Kristo ne pok oyanga malongʼo ni an ngʼa.
But to the churches of Christ in Judea I was personally unknown;
23 Negisewinjo mana wach niya, “Ngʼat ma yande sandowa bende tinde yalo kuom yie ma notemo ketho e kinde mosekalo.”
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 Kendo mano nomiyo gimiyo Nyasaye duongʼ nikech an.
And they were giving glory to God on my account.
