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—
Ane ne Paulo ne mtume. Anesendi mtumwa afume whabhantu wala ashilile wabhantu, lelo ashilile wa Yesu Kristu no Ngolobhe oBaba yavyose seyafume wabhafwe.
2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Pandwemonaholo bhontinani engandishi amakanisa aga Galatia.
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Owene obhenamwe nolutengano waufumile whaNgolobhe oBaba wetu no Gosi oYesu Kilisti,
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)
yawifumizye yayo afwatane nolugano lwangolobhe wetu no Baba. (aiōn g165)
Whamwene hubhe otuntumu owawilawila. (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—
Eswiga aje mgaluhana nanaliwizielyenje eswiga aje mgaluhana hutaliwanomwene. Yabhakwiziizye huwewe wa Yesu.
7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
Nalimoizuilyenje lelobhaliabhantu bhabhanankanya amwe mayemba agalulanyeizulya Kristu.
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!
Hata nkashele tete olweuje ohalao zelu, afumemwanya abhalombelele hulimweizu shenje nashilya tibhalombeleye hulimwe.
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!
Nashisatianjile awandile neshifyanga nautele nkasheleumntu abhalombelele, hulimweizu lyalilishenje, “nashila mwaliovweze oyo na ayejewe.”
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.
Eshi ehwawa osimishizyo owabhantu olwenje wa Ngolobhe? Ehwanzaje embasongwezye abhantu? Nkashele iwendelela abhasungwezye abhantu? Anesendi mtumwa wa Kristu.
11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
Bhaholo ewanzaje mmanye aje izulyehabhalombeleye selyafumile nabhantu.
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Sihapetefume whamntu wala sehafundizizye badala yakwe. Ehali langouwa Yesu Kristu wane.
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.
Mwovwe ajeolwizyolwane olwahunyuma Olwahunyuma olwedinieya Kiyahudi, shehali panga amayemba hukhali ikanisa lya Ngolobhe sana ashileeshipimo na nyangamizye.
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Ehendeleye hudini Eyekiyahudi sana aholobhane abhinji abhayahudi ehalinebidii sana notupango otwababa bhane.
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
Lelo Ongolobhe asungwelwe ansalule ane. Afumemvwanda mwamaye. Ankwizizye ane ashilile huwene hwakwe
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,
ahubhonesezye omwana mhati mwaline, aje ehulombelela omwene mwabhantu bhashele sebhahuputa. Nantelesehanzile owajenshe owebele ni danda
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.
sehazubhile abhale huYerusalemu wabhala bhabhali watumwa kabuyaline. Saseleomwene ehabhalile Uarabuni pamande ehawhuyile hudemesiki.
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
Pesho humahagatatu ehazubhile abhale hu Yerusalemu ahujendele oKefa, nakhalanawo nakhalananawo. Ensiku kumi natano.
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
Lelosehalolile otumwa abhamwabho ila O Yakobo oholo wakwe no Gosi.
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
Enya hwitagalila elya Ngolobhe sekhopelahwalilalye hwandiha hulimwe.
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Nantele ehabhalile humikowa aga Shamu nahu Kilikia.
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Sehabhonehaga humaso aga hwikanisa ilya Uyahudi gala galaga Kristu,
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
lelohalibhahovwa wewe aje yatiyenvaga eshi alombelea olweteho yanankanyaga.”
24 And they glorified God because of me.
Bhahusombezya Ongolobhe awande huline
