Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through a man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
Pawulu, mutumwa - uutali mutumwa uzwa kubantu naanka kwiinda mumilimo yabantu, pesi kwiindilila muli Jesu Kkilisito mpawo a Leza Taata, oyo wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu -
2 and all the brothers with me, to the congregations in Galatia:
mpawo aboonse balombe bali andime, muzibunga zyaku Galantiya:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Luzyalo kulindinywe mpawo aluumuno luzwa kuli Leza taatesu mpawo a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito,
4 who gave Himself for our sins, so that He might deliver us out of this present malignant age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
Wakalipeda lwakwe kuzibi zyesu kuchitilakuti atwaangunune kuzwa kububi bwalino, kwiinda mukuyanda kwa Leza wesu mpwao a Taata, (aiōn g165)
Kulinguwe akube bulemu kwalyoonse alyoonse. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I am sadly surprised that you are turning away so quickly from the one who called you by the grace of Christ, to a different gospel
Ndagamba kuti mulikubweeda achakufwambana kuzwa kulinguwe wakamwiita muluzyalo lwa Kkilisito. Ndagamba kuti wasandukila kumakani asiyene,
7 —it is not a mere variation, but certain people are unsettling you and wanting to distort the Gospel of the Christ.
teensi kuti kulaambi makani, Pesi kulibamwi bantu bayanda kumuchitila mapenzi a Kkilisito
8 Now even if we, or an angel out of heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed!
Pesi nikubakuti swe naa mungelo uuzwa kujulu walikukambawuka kulinduwe makani aatali mbuli aya ngitwakali kukambawuka kulindinywe, ngabe mutuke.
9 As we have just said, I here emphatically repeat: If anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed!
Mbuli mbutwamba kumatalikilo, mpawo lino ndaamba lubo, “naa umwi wakambawuka kulindinywe makani aatali mbuli ngimwakatambula, ayo ngabe mutuke.”
10 Am I just now appealing to men, or to God? Or am I trying to please men? You see, if I were still pleasing men I would not be a slave of Christ.
Sa lino ndikulanguula buuya bwamuntu nanka bwa Leza? Saa ndikulangula kuboteezya muntuma? kuti nkecheezya kubotezya muntu, nsichili mulanda waKkilisito.
11 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the Gospel preached by me is not according to man;
Mbuli mbiyanda kuti muzibe, nobakwesu, kuti makani ngindakambawuka teensi aamuntu.
12 because I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather it came through a revelation from Christ.
Teensi ndakatambula kuzwa kumuntu naba oomwe naanka kuyiisigwa. Nikuba boobo, kwakalikwinda muchiyubunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito kulindime.
13 You have heard of my former conduct while in Judaism, how I was rabid in my persecution of God's Church and tried to annihilate it;
Mwakamvwa ataata akupona kwangu mutunsiyansiya twaba Juda, mbuli mbundakapenzya mbungano zya Leza kuzwa mubwelede mpawo ndalikwezya kuzimwaya.
14 indeed I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age, being far more zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.
Ndakakkomena muchanza chamuJuda bwindilide kubiingi oboo bakali beselalyangu, kuzwa kubantu bangu. Obu mbubo bwindilide bwechiyandisyo nchindakali aacho kuchaanza chabamataata.
15 But when God—who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through His grace—resolved
Pesi elyo nakandibikka kumbali kuzwa muda lyabaama, mpawo ooyo wakandiita kwiinda muluzyalo lwakwe,
16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might proclaim Him among the nations/Gentiles, I did not start by consulting with flesh and blood,
wakabotelwa akutondezya mwanakwe mulindime, kuchitila kuti ndikakkambawuke akati kabamaasi, Teenda kabukakubuzya aamubili abulowa.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before I was; rather I went off into Arabia, and then returned to Damascus.
Teensi ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuli baabo bakali batumwa kunembo lyangu. Kwinda kuchita oobu, ndakayinka ku Alabbiya mpawo ndaboola ku Damasikkasi.
18 Subsequently, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to compare notes with Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Alimwi nikwakiinda minyaka yotaatwe ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuti nkazibe Sifasi mpawo ndakakukkala anguwe mazuba aalikkumi amusanu.
19 (I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
Pesi takwe mutumwa ngwindakabona kunze kwa Jemusi, mwanike wa Mwami.
20 Really, before God, I am not lying in what I write to you.)
Kulizezi nzindalemba kulindinywe, ndasyomezya kunembo lya Leza kuti nsilikubeja pe.
21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Mpawo ndakayinka kuchisi cha Siliya aku Silisiya.
22 So I remained unknown by face to the congregations of Judea (those in Christ)
Teensi ndakalizibidwe kumenso akumambungano aku Judaya ali muli Kkilisito.
23 —they just kept hearing that “He who once persecuted us now proclaims the faith he formerly tried to destroy.”
Bakazimvwa biyo kazilikwambwa, “mwalumi wakali kutupenzya lino ngulikukambawuka makkani mabotu aa lusyomo ndwakali kwezya kumwaya.”
24 And they glorified God about me.
Mpawo bakalemeka Leza nkambo kangu.
