Galatians 1
1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,
Paulo, Otumiwa- osati otumiwa kucoka ku banthu kapena kutumiwa na umunthu, koma mwa Yesu Kristu na Mulungu Atate, emuusha kwa akufwa-
2 and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.
na anekwasu onse ali naneo, kuma chalichi yamu Agalatiya:
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Cisomo kwa mweo na mtendele kufuma kwa Mulungu Atate na Ambuye Yesu Kristu,
4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; (aiōn g165)
ezipeleka mumalo mwamacimo yasu kuti atiombole kumukhalidwe uipa wa mtundu uno, mwacifunilo ca Mulungu Atate, (aiōn g165)
kwa yeve ulemelelo osasila. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
Nine odabwa kuti muwelela mwamusanga kucoka kwa ekuitanani mwa cisomo ca Kristu. Nine odabwa kuti mwayamba kukonkha ciphunziso ciyakine,
7 which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
osati kuti pali ciphunziso ciyakine, koma pali madoda yaikine oleta musokonezo kwa mweo ndipo ofuna kusintha uthenga wabwino wa Kristu.
8 But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
Koma olokuti seo kapena mungelo ocokela kululu awele kuzolalikila uthenga osiyana nawetelalikila seo kwa mweo, lekani atembeleleke.
9 As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
mwetelabilila poyamba, nalomba pano nulabila soti, “ngati muyakine olalikila uthenga osiyana na wemwelandila, lekani atembeleleke”.
10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
niliyekuti lomba nufuna mbali ya banthu kapena ya Mulungu? Nufuna kukondwelesha banthu? Ngati nikali kufuna kukondwelesha banthu ndiye kuti ninelini kapolo wa Kristu.
11 But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
Cifukwa nufuna muzibe, anekwasu, kuti uthenga wenelabila niwa munthu lini.
12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
Niliye ulandile kucokela ku munthu aliyense, niliye phunzisiwe na munthu. Koma, cenze mwacivubuluso ca Yesu Kristu paneo.
13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
Mwecimvwa za moyo wangu wakale mwaciyuda, mwenenzo mangila chalichi ya Mulungu kupyola muyeso ndipo nenzofuna kuti niononge.
14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
Neluta pasogolo muciyuda kuposa wonse benze nthanga yangu, kucokela ku mtundu wangu. Ndiye cidwi cenenze naco pa mwambo wa makolo bangu.
15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
Koma Mulungu, ndiye enipatula kucokela mu mala mwamama, ndiye eniita mwa cisomo cake,
16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
cemuwamijya kuvumbulushya mwana wake mwaneo, kuti nikalalikile za yeve pa amitundu, niliye fufuze mwamusanga mwathupi na ngazi.
17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
Niliye lute ku Yelusalemu kwabala enkhala atumwi neo nikaliye. Mumalo mwake, neluta ku Arabiya nowelela soti ku Damasiko.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
Pepepita zaka zitatu neluta ku Yelusalemu kuti nimuzibe Kefas ndipo nenkhala naye masiku fifitini.
19 but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
Koma niliye onane na otumiwa aliyense koma Jemusi, mukwao wa Ambuye.
20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
Pa vanakulembelani, nikusimikijyilani pamenso pa Mulungu kuti nunamalini.
21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Ndipo neluta ku mizinda ya Asiliya na Silisiya.
22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
Nenze nikaliye zibika pa meso kuma chalichi yaku Yudeya ali mwa Yesu.
23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
Bengokumvwa vukambika, “Lidoda lenzo manga seo lomba yayamba kulalikila mbili yacikhulupililo cenzofuna kuononga poyamba”.
24 and they glorified God in me.
Belemekeza Mulungu kamba ka neo.
