< 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—
PAULUS wanporon amen kaidin sang ren aramas akan, pil kaidin pan aramas akan, a pan Iesus Kristus o Kot Sam, me kotin kaiasadar i sang ren me melar akan,
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
O ri atail akan karos, me mi re i, at ranamau ong momodisou en Kalesia kan:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam o atail Kaun Iesus Kristus en mi re omail;
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age (aiōn ), according to the will of our God and Father—
Me kotin sokonpaude ki pein i ki dip atail, pwen dore kitail sang ni me sued akan mi sappa, duen kupur en Kot o Sam atail. (aiōn )
5 to whom be the glory for the ages (aiōn ) of the ages (aiōn ). Amen.
Lingan en ko ong i kokolata! Amen. (aiōn )
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
I puriamuiki omail madang wuki sang i, me molipe komail pan mak en Kristus, ap wuki ong eu rongamau;
7 but there is not another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
A sota eu mia. Ari so, akai mia, me kin kapingada komail, o irail men kalikame rongamau en Kristus.
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.
A ma kit de tounlang amen sang nanlang pan padaki ong komail eu rongamau, me toror sang rongamau, me se padaki ong komail er, i en riala.
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.
Duen me se indada mas o, iduen se pil purong inda: Ma amen pan padaki ong komail eu rongamau, me toror sang me komail aleer, i en riala.
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.
Iaduen, i kin men kaperenda aramas akan de Kot? De i kin rapaki konekon ren aramas akan? Ma i men konekon ren aramas akan, i ap sota ladun Kristus.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
I katitiki ong komail ri ai kan, rongamau me i padakier, a sota tapi sang ren aramas.
12 For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Pwe i sota ale sang ren aramas amen, o sota me padaki ong ia, a a koki dong ia kasale pan Iesus Kristus.
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.
Pwe komail ronger duen ai wiawia en mas nan pung en men Sus akan, duen i kin morouo ong momodisou en Kot lapalapia o kawe ir ala.
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.
O i kakairida nin lamalam en Sus akan madang sang me toto, me kit ti ta ieu o toun sap ta ieu, o i nantiong kapwaiada padok en sam at akan.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
A Kot lao kupureda, me kotin kilele ia di sang ni kaped en in ai, o me kotin molipe ia ki a mak,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
En kasale ong ia sapwilim a Ol, pwe i en padaki ong men liki kan duen i, i ap pitipit wiada o sota kalelapok ren uduk o nta.
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.
O i pil so pwar lang Ierusalem ren irail, me wanporon akan mo i, a i kolang Arapien ap pil pure dong Damaskus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Ari, murin par silu i ap kodalang Ierusalem, pwen kilang Kepas. I ap mimieta re a ran eisoklimau.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
A sota amen ren wanporon akan, me i kilang, Iakopus ta, ri en Kaun o.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.
A me i inting wong komail, Kot me kotin mangi, me i sota likam.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Muri i ap kola nan wein Sirien o Silisia.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
A momodisou en Iudäa kan me mi pan kupur en Kristus sasa ia.
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
A i eta, irail ronger, me i me kin morouo ong kit mas o, i me kin padaki poson ansau wet, me a kin kaokaoe mas o.
24 So they glorified God in me.
Irail ap kalinganda Kot pweki ngai.
