Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead),
Paulo, Otumiwa- osati otumiwa kucoka ku banthu kapena kutumiwa na umunthu, koma mwa Yesu Kristu na Mulungu Atate, emuusha kwa akufwa-
2 and all the brothers with me, to the congregations of Galatia:
na anekwasu onse ali naneo, kuma chalichi yamu Agalatiya:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ
Cisomo kwa mweo na mtendele kufuma kwa Mulungu Atate na Ambuye Yesu Kristu,
4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he might rescue us, according to the will of our God and Father, out of the evil age that has come, (aiōn g165)
ezipeleka mumalo mwamacimo yasu kuti atiombole kumukhalidwe uipa wa mtundu uno, mwacifunilo ca Mulungu Atate, (aiōn g165)
kwa yeve ulemelelo osasila. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ to another good news,
Nine odabwa kuti muwelela mwamusanga kucoka kwa ekuitanani mwa cisomo ca Kristu. Nine odabwa kuti mwayamba kukonkha ciphunziso ciyakine,
7 which is not another, except there are some who confuse you, and who want to pervert the good news of the Christ.
osati kuti pali ciphunziso ciyakine, koma pali madoda yaikine oleta musokonezo kwa mweo ndipo ofuna kusintha uthenga wabwino wa Kristu.
8 But even if we, or an agent from heaven, should preach a good news to you contrary to what we preached to you, let him be accursed.
Koma olokuti seo kapena mungelo ocokela kululu awele kuzolalikila uthenga osiyana nawetelalikila seo kwa mweo, lekani atembeleleke.
9 As we have said before, I now also say again, if any man preaches a good news to you contrary to what ye received, let him be accursed.
mwetelabilila poyamba, nalomba pano nulabila soti, “ngati muyakine olalikila uthenga osiyana na wemwelandila, lekani atembeleleke”.
10 For do I now trust men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were still pleasing men I would not be a bondman of Christ.
niliyekuti lomba nufuna mbali ya banthu kapena ya Mulungu? Nufuna kukondwelesha banthu? Ngati nikali kufuna kukondwelesha banthu ndiye kuti ninelini kapolo wa Kristu.
11 For I make known to you, brothers, the good news that was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Cifukwa nufuna muzibe, anekwasu, kuti uthenga wenelabila niwa munthu lini.
12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it was through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Niliye ulandile kucokela ku munthu aliyense, niliye phunzisiwe na munthu. Koma, cenze mwacivubuluso ca Yesu Kristu paneo.
13 For ye heard of my former behavior in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God to extraordinariness, and ravaged it.
Mwecimvwa za moyo wangu wakale mwaciyuda, mwenenzo mangila chalichi ya Mulungu kupyola muyeso ndipo nenzofuna kuti niononge.
14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries among my race, being a more extreme zealot of my paternal traditions.
Neluta pasogolo muciyuda kuposa wonse benze nthanga yangu, kucokela ku mtundu wangu. Ndiye cidwi cenenze naco pa mwambo wa makolo bangu.
15 But when it pleased God who separated me from my mother's belly, and called me through his grace,
Koma Mulungu, ndiye enipatula kucokela mu mala mwamama, ndiye eniita mwa cisomo cake,
16 to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not straightaway confer with flesh and blood,
cemuwamijya kuvumbulushya mwana wake mwaneo, kuti nikalalikile za yeve pa amitundu, niliye fufuze mwamusanga mwathupi na ngazi.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
Niliye lute ku Yelusalemu kwabala enkhala atumwi neo nikaliye. Mumalo mwake, neluta ku Arabiya nowelela soti ku Damasiko.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days.
Pepepita zaka zitatu neluta ku Yelusalemu kuti nimuzibe Kefas ndipo nenkhala naye masiku fifitini.
19 But I did not see another of the apostles except James the Lord's brother.
Koma niliye onane na otumiwa aliyense koma Jemusi, mukwao wa Ambuye.
20 Now what I write to you, behold before God, I do not lie.
Pa vanakulembelani, nikusimikijyilani pamenso pa Mulungu kuti nunamalini.
21 Later I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Ndipo neluta ku mizinda ya Asiliya na Silisiya.
22 And I was unknown by face to the congregations of Judea in Christ,
Nenze nikaliye zibika pa meso kuma chalichi yaku Yudeya ali mwa Yesu.
23 but they were only hearing that the man who once persecuted us now preaches the good news, the faith that he once ravaged.
Bengokumvwa vukambika, “Lidoda lenzo manga seo lomba yayamba kulalikila mbili yacikhulupililo cenzofuna kuononga poyamba”.
24 And they glorified God in me.
Belemekeza Mulungu kamba ka neo.
