< 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—
Ngai Polo, ntoma oyo abengamaki na bato te to na nzela ya moto te, kasi na Yesu-Klisto mpe na Nzambe Tata oyo asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi,
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
mpe bandeko nyonso oyo bazali elongo na ngai; Epai ya Mangomba ya Galatia:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age (aiōn g165), according to the will of our God and Father—
Yesu amipesaki mpo na masumu na biso mpo ete, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, Tata na biso, akangola biso longwa na ekeke oyo ya mabe. (aiōn g165)
5 to whom be the glory for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
Tika ete nkembo ezonga epai na Ye libela na libela! Amen! (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
Nazali kokamwa ete bozali kosundola noki Ye oyo abengaki bino na nzela ya ngolu ya Klisto mpe bozali kolanda sango malamu mosusu
7 but there is not another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
oyo ezalaka kutu te. Solo, ezali na bato oyo bazali kotia mobulu kati na bino mpe bazali koluka kobongola Sango Malamu ya Klisto.
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
Kasi soki moto moko, ezala biso to Anjelu moko kowuta na Likolo, ateyi bino sango malamu oyo ekeseni na Sango Malamu oyo biso toteyaki bino, wana tika ete Nzambe alakela ye mabe!
9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
Ndenge tolobaki yango liboso, mpe nazali lisusu koloba yango sik’oyo: soki moto moko ateyi bino sango malamu oyo ekeseni na Sango Malamu oyo boyambaki, wana tika ete Nzambe alakela ye mabe!
10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Bozali sik’oyo kokanisa nini na likambo oyo: nazali koluka kosepelisa bato to nazali koluka kosepelisa Nzambe? Boni, nazali koluka kosepelisa bato? Soki nazalaki nanu koluka kosepelisa bato, nalingaki kozala mosali ya Klisto te.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba malamu ete Sango Malamu oyo nateyaki bino ezalaki mbuma ya makanisi ya bomoto te.
12 For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nazwaki yango na moto moko te, nayekolaki yango mpe te; kasi ezali Yesu-Klisto nde alakisaki ngai yango na nzela ya emoniseli.
13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
Solo, boyokaki sango ya bizaleli na ngai ya kala tango nazalaki nanu mondimi kati na lingomba ya Bayuda; boyebi mpe ndenge nini nazalaki konyokola Lingomba ya Nzambe mpo na kopanza yango.
14 I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Kati na lingomba ya Bayuda, nazalaki komata koleka Bayuda ebele ya ekeke na ngai, oyo tozalaki na bango mibu moko ya mbotama; nalekaki bango kutu na bolingo eleka ndelo mpo na bokoko ya batata na ngai.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
Kasi tango Nzambe oyo aponaki ngai wuta na libumu ya mama na ngai mpe abengaki ngai na nzela ya ngolu na Ye, asepelaki
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
kotalisa ngai Mwana na Ye na nzela ya emoniseli mpo ete nakoka kosakola Ye kati na Bapagano, natunaki na mbala moko toli epai ya moto ata moko te.
17 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.
Nakendeki kutu na Yelusalemi te mpo na kokutana na bato oyo bakomaki bantoma liboso na ngai, kasi nakendeki nde na Arabi. Sima na yango, nazongaki na Damasi.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Ezali sima na mibu misato nde nakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na koyeba Petelo, mpe navandaki epai na ye mikolo zomi na mitano.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
Natikalaki komona ntoma mosusu te, longola kaka Jake, ndeko ya Nkolo.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.
Nzambe azali Motatoli na ngai ete makambo oyo nazali kokomela bino ezali ya lokuta te.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Sima na yango, nakendeki na bituka ya Siri mpe ya Silisi.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
Kasi Baklisto ya Mangomba ya Yuda bayebaki ngai te,
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
bayokaki kaka sango: « Moto oyo azalaki konyokola biso na kala akomi sik’oyo koteya kondima oyo azalaki koluka kobebisa. »
24 So they glorified God in me.
Mpe bazalaki kokumisa Nzambe na tina na ngai.
