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—
Bulus, indji u toh du toh du mu, ana rji ni ndji na, naki a rji ni Yesu Almasihu ni Irji Bachi wa a rju'u ni mi be -
2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Ime ni mri vayi mu wa ba hei ni me ni wayi, misi han ni yu'u iklisiyoyi wa ba heini Galatiya.
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Zizi ye ni yu'u ni sun si rji ni Irji Bachi mbu ni Bachi mbu Yesu Almasihu.
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)
Wa ano tuma nitu lahtre mbu, nda chu ta rju ni meme ngbungblu yi, ni mri Irji ni Bachi mbu. (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—
Mi manji ma wokran kpukpome wa bi kma hu nkon ri gbagbla me hi ni itre ri kan naki mi manji ma wokran yada bi kabi ni wa ayo yi ni zizi u Almasihu.
7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
Itre ri na hei na naki, indji bari wa ba jin wa yu ni ye, ba son nda kpah tre Almasihu ti meme.
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!
Naki kita ni u to ndu Irji rjini shu nda hla tre ri kan ni yu ni wa kita ki duba ni yu'u, ba hla ndi kima.
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!
Na yada ki hla ni yiwu ni mumla, zizan mi si hla ni yiwu, inde ndji ri a la dub itre ri kan ni wa bi kpa ba hla'u.
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.
Zizan misi wa shaida ndi ko u Irji? misi wa du ndi duba kpa yeim ni me? inde zizan mi sima ndi dun ndji kpa nyeme nime, i mina gran Almasihu na.
11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
Mi son du yi toh fa mri yah, itre wa misi dub ni yiwu, ana hi u indji na.
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Mina kpa ni ndji na, indrjori na tsro me na, nakima Yesu Almasihu'a hran ni mu.
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.
Bi riga di wo na mina hei nimi Yahudawa, ndi ta ti iklisiya Irji yah kpukpome zan bari di kpa ba tie meme.
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Mi ta guchi ni Yahudawa ba zan bari fie me ni zren ba tti mbu u sen.
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
Naki ma Irji toh a bi du chu me ni ne yi mu rju nda yo me ni mi ndindima.
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,
A tsro ta ivren ma, dume dub ni biwa bana toh Irji na. Gbagbla mi na suron mu ni nanma ni yi na.
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.
Nakima mina hi ni Wurushelima na ni bi wa ba guchi hi toh ndu nimu na. Naki ma mi ka yi ni Arabiya, niki me ka k'ma ye ni Damasku.
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
Naki ma ise tra a kle, imi hi ni Wurushelima ndi mi toh Kefas, mi sun ni yiwu ivie wulon don ton.
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
Niki mina toh ko indji ri na ni mi mbi ton du na, se Yakubu ni kagrji ma vayi Bachi mbu.
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
To ba ni k'bu Irji mina si ti ce ni tu ikpe wa mi han ni yiwu na.
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Niki mika hi ni nklan Suriya ba Silisiya.
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Ni nton kima indrjo na toh me ni shishi ni iklisiyoyi Yahudawa wa ba he ni mi Almasihu na.
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
Nakima baka woh ndi, ndji wa ta ti ta yah, zizan asi dub kponji tre wa ana son da kpa tie meme.
24 And they glorified God because of me.
Basi no Irji ninkon nitu mu.
