< 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—
Unene ni Paulo mutuung'waa. Unene shanga nimutuung'waa kupuma ku ana adamu ang'wi kukiila ku ana adamu, kuiti kukiila kung'wa Yesu Kristo ni Itunda Tata nai umiukilye kupuma kuashi.
2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Palung'wi ni aluna ihi nu nene, kumakilisilya imatekeelo a ku Galatia.
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Ukende utule kilanyu nu ulyuuku nu upembeeye kung'wa Itunda Tata witu nu Mukulu uYesu Kristo.
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)
Nai wipumilye mukola kunsoko a milandu itu iti kina akugune ni matungo aya na ubii. Kupuumila nu ulowa nuang'wa Itunda witu hangi Tata. (aiōn g165)
5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kitalakwe itule ikulyo i kali na kali. (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—
Ni kenda kuilwa kina mukenda kaya kupilukila mu nkani ninza ingiiza, nienda kuilwa kina mukupilukila kuli kupuma kung'waakwe ng'wenso nai umitangileku ukende nu ang'wa Kristo.
7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
Kutili nkani ninza ni ingiiza, kuiti akoli antu ang'wi ni akumusasha unyenye ulwago nu kulowa kukaila nkani ninza ni ang'wa Kristo.
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!
Kuite ga anga ize usese ang'wi amalaika kupuma kilunde wikatanantya kitalanyu nkani ninza isa nu ulo nai kutanantilye kitalanyu, nu a zung'we.
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!
Anga nai kaligitya un'gwandyo, ni itungili kuligitya hangi, ''Anga ize ukoli muntu nuikatanantya kitalanyu inkani ninza isa nizi naza muisingilye, nu azung'we''.
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.
Ku uu itungili kuuduma ukamikiilyi nu a antu ang'wi Itunda? Anga ize nongolekile kugema kualoeelya ana adamu unene shanga ni munyamilimo wang'wa Kristo.
11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
Muluna, ndoilwe unye mulinge kina nkani ninza naza niitanantilye shanga ipumiie ku ana adamu.
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Shanga ai ni nusingiiye kupuma ku muntu, ang'wi shanga manyisigwe, Badala akwe, ai ituile inge ku ukunukulwa nu ang'wa Yesu Kristo kitalane.
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.
Makonda kija migulya u likalo lane nu la kunyuma mu ikumbiko ni la ki Yahudi, iti nai natuilee kulaja ku utaki ilekeelo lang'wi Itunda kukilinkiila uugemeeligwa nu kulilimilya.
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Ai natulaa nongolekile mi ikumbiko ni la Kiyahudi kukiliila i a luna ane idu Ayahudi. Ai natulaa ni kinyangulu lukulu mu logo nu la aTata ane.
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
Ku ite Itunda ai uloeeigwe nu kumbagula unene kupuma mu nda ang'wa ia. Ai unintangile unene kukiila ukende nu akwe.
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,
Kumukaminkiilya ng'wana nu akwe mukati ane ili kina numutanantye ung'wenso mukati a antu nia mahi. Hangi shanga ai ndumile anga usigigwa nu a muili ni sakami.
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.
Hangi shanga ai nankie kulongola ku Yerusalemu ku awa nai atulaa atung'wa ze ikili une. Badala akwe nikalongola ku Uarabuni ni panyambele kusuka ku Damesiki.
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
Uugwa kukila i miaka itaatu ai nankie kulongola ku Yerusalemu kumiumba umbila u Kefa, ni kikie nu ng'wenso mahiku ikumi na ataano.
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
Kuiti shanga nikihenga i atung'waa ni auya kwaala Yakobo, muluna nu a Mukulu.
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
Goza, ntongeela ang'wa Itunda, shanga kukongela ku iko ni kukikilisa kitalanyu.
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Uugwa nikalongola ku mikoa a Shamu ni Kilikia.
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Shanga ai ntuile manyikile ku miho ku matekeelo a ku Uyahudi ayo nai atulaa mu ng'wa Kristo.
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
Ku iti ai atulaa akigiilya udu, ''Nuanso nai watulaa ukuaja itungili ukutanantya uhuili nai watulaa ukuugazanja''.
24 And they glorified God because of me.
Ai atulaa akumulumbiilya Itunda kunsoko ane.
