Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
Phaawulos ergamticha isa utuu namoota biraa yookaan namaan hin taʼin garuu Yesuus Kiristoosii fi Waaqa Abbaa isa Yesuusin warra duʼan keessaa kaaseen ergamee fi
2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
obboloota na wajjin jiran hundumaa irraa, Gara Waldoota Kiristaanaa Galaatiyaatti:
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu;
4 who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
inni akka fedhii Abbaa keenyaa fi Waaqa keenyaatti bara hamaa kana jalaa nu oolchuuf jedhee cubbuu keenyaaf of kenne; (aiōn g165)
ulfinni bara baraa hamma bara baraatti isaaf haa taʼu. Ameen. (aiōn g165)
6 I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
Akkana ariifattanii isa karaa ayyaana Kiristoosiin isin waame sana dhiisuudhaan wangeela biraa duukaa buʼuun keessan baayʼee na dinqeera;
7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
wangeelli biraa illee hin jiru. Garuu namoonni isin dogoggorsanii wangeela Kiristoos jalʼisuu yaalan tokko tokko jiru.
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
Nus taanaan yookaan yoo ergamaan Waaqaa samii irraa dhufe tokko wangeela nu kanaan dura isinitti lallabne sana irraa adda taʼe isinitti lallabe, inni bara baraan haa abaaramu!
9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
Akkuma nu kanaan dura jenne ani ammas irra deebiʼee nan dubbadha; yoo eenyu iyyuu wangeela isin kanaan dura fudhattan sana irraa adda taʼe isinitti lallabe inni abaaramaa haa taʼu!
10 Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Ani amma nama biratti moo Waaqa biratti fudhatama argachuu yaalaan jira? Yookaan nama gammachiisuu nan yaalaa? Ani utuun hamma ammaatti nama gammachiisuu yaalee silaa tajaajilaa Kiristoos hin taʼu ture.
11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
Yaa obboloota, wangeelli ani lallabe sun nama irraa akka hin dhufin isin akka beektan nan barbaada.
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Ani wangeelicha mulʼataan Yesuus Kiristoos irraa fudhadhe malee nama tokko irraa illee hin fudhanne; yookaan namni na hin barsiifne.
13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
Akka ani yeroon amantii Yihuudootaa duukaa buʼaa turetti waldaa kiristaanaa Waaqaa akka malee ariʼachaa fi balleessuufis yaalaa ture dhageessaniirtu.
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Ani amantii Yihuudootaatiin warra saba koo keessaa hiriyoota koo taʼan baayʼee nan caala ture; duudhaa abbootii kootiifis akka malee nan hinaafa ture.
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
Garuu yommuu Waaqni gadameessa haadha kootii jalqabee na filatee fi ayyaana isaatiin na waame sun,
16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
akka ani Namoota Ormaa gidduutti waaʼee Ilma isaa lallabuuf isa natti mulʼisuu jaallatetti ani nama tokkoon iyyuu hin mariʼanne.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
Ani warra anaan dura ergamoota turan arguuf Yerusaalemitti ol hin baane; garuu yeruma sana biyya Arabaan dhaqe. Ergasiis Damaasqoottin deebiʼe.
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
Ergasiis anis waggaa sadii booddee Keefaan wal baruuf jedhee Yerusaalemitti ol baʼe; guyyaa kudha shanis isa biran ture.
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
Ani garuu Yaaqoob obboleessa Gooftaa malee ergamoota kaan keessaa tokko illee hin argine.
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
Wanti ani isinii barreessu akka soba hin taʼin kunoo fuula Waaqaa duratti isiniifin mirkaneessa.
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Ergasiis ani gara Sooriyaa fi biyya Kiilqiyaan dhaqe.
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Waldoonni Kiristaanaa Yihuudaa kanneen Kiristoositti jiranis fuula koo arganii hin beekan.
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
Isaanis oduu, “Namichi duraan nu ariʼachaa ture sun amma immoo amantiidhuma dur balleessuuf yaalaa ture sana lallabaa jira” jedhu qofa dhagaʼan.
24 And they glorified God because of me.
Isaanis sababii kootiif Waaqaaf ulfina kennan.
