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—
Njame Paulo mutumwa, ndiya kusalwa ne bantu nambi kupitila mu muntu sobwe, nsombi ndalasalwa ne Yesu Klistu, kayi ne Lesa Bata balamupundusha kubafu.
2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Ame pamo ne baname abo bali pamo nenjame, tulamupanga mitende mibungano ya mucibela ca Galatiya.
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Kwina moyo ne lumuno lwa Lesa Bata ne Mwami Yesu Klistu lube nenjamwe.
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)
Yesu walaliyaba pacebo cakwambeti atulubule ku bwipishi bwetu, kayi walatupulusha kufuma kubuyumi bwaipa bwacino cindi. Walensa bintu mbyalikuyanda Lesa Ishetu. (aiōn g165)
Bulemeneno butapu bube kuli Lesa cindi conse. Amen. (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—
Ndakankamananga pakuboneti mulapatukunga kufuma kuli Lesa walamukuwa kwelana ne kwina moyo kwa Klistu, mulatatiki kukonka mulumbe naumbi,
7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
mulumbe ngomulakonkelenga nte mulumbe waina sobwe. Nsombi kuli bantu nabambi balayandanga kumufulunganya pakusandula Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Klistu.
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!
Nomba uliyense, nambi njafwe nambi mungelo lafumu kwilu wisakumukambaukila Mulumbe Waina wapusana ne ngotwalamukambaukila, uyo ashinganwe.
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!
Mbuli ncotwalambapo kendi kayi ndabweshengaponga kwambeti muntu uliyense weshi akamukambaukile mulumbe wapusana ne Mulumbe Waina ngotwalamwambila, uyo abe washinganwa.
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.
Sena pakwamba bintu ibi ndayandangeti bantu bansuminishe? Sobwe, nsombi kwambeti Lesa ansuminishe. Sena ndayandanga kwambeti nkondweleshe bantu? Nendalikuyanda kukondwelesha bantu, nendalabula kuba musebenshi wa Klistu.
11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
Mobanse, kamuleka ndimwambile, Mulumbe Waina uyo ngonkute kukambauka nkaukute kufuma kubantu sobwe.
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Nkandalautambula kufuma kubantu sobwe, kayi kuliya muntu walanjiyisha, nsombi ni Yesu Klistu mwine ewalanjubulwila Mulumbe uwu.
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.
Mwalanyumfwa bwikalo bwakame bwakaindi mpondalikuba mumpaililo ya Ciyuda. Ndalikuba muntu walikupensha mubungano wa Lesa kwakubula inkumbo, kayi ndalikuyandishisha kuwonongelalimo.
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Ndalikupita baname bangi balikuba bamushimba wakame pakwinsa bintu bya mpaililo ya Ciyuda, kayi ndalikuba walibenga pakukonka miyambo ya bashali betu.
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
Nsombi Lesa walampatula kantana nsemwa, kayi mukwina moyo kwakendi walankuweti ndimusebensele. Lino mpwalayanda
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,
kundesha Mwanendi kwambeti njenga akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha endiye kubantu bamishobo naimbi, ndiya kuyapo kumuntu naumbi kwambeti ampeko mano.
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.
Kayi nkandalayapo ku Yelusalemu kuya kubona balatanguna kuba batumwa kantana mba umo wa endibo. Nsombi ndalaya ku Alabiya kayi ne kubwelela ku Damasiko.
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
Mpopalapita byaka bitatu ndalaya ku Yelusalemu akunyumfwa makani kuli Petulo, ndalekalako masuba akwana likumi ne asanu.
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
Nkandalabonapo mutumwa naumbi, nsombi enkowa Jemusi mukwabo Mwami.
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
Ncondalembenga nicakubinga, kayi neye Lesa ucinshi kwambeti nkandabepenga sobwe.
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Kufumapo ndalaya ku cibela ca ku Siliya ne ku Kilikiya.
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Pacindi ico bantu ba mumibungano ya ku Yudeya nkabalikunjishiba ame sobwe.
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
Balikunyufwowa mbyobali kwamba bantu eti, “Usa muntu walikutupensha lakambaukunga lushomo ndwalelesha kushina!”
24 And they glorified God because of me.
Neco balalumbaisha Lesa pacebo ca njame.
