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—
une ne nsung'ua Paulo. une nanilinsung'ua kuhuma kuvaanhu nambe kukilila kuvaanhu, neke kukilila kwa Yesu kilisite nu Nguluve Nhaata juno alyansyuluile kuhuma kuvafue.
2 and all the brothers with me, to the congregations in Galatia:
une palikimo na vanyalukolo tukusilembela itembile sooni sa Vagalatia.
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
uvumosi nu lutengano kuhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu nu Mutwa Yesu Kilisite fivisaghe numue.
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)
jino akihumisie vwimila isambi situ neke kuuti atupoke mu fighono ifi fya vuhosi, kuhumilanila nu lughano lwa Nguluve ghwitu nu Nhaata. (aiōn g165)
kwa mwene vuve vwimike vuno navuli kusila na kusila (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
nidegha kuuti musyetukila ng'aning'ani mu livangili ilingi, nidegha kuuti musyetukile kutali kuhuma kwa juno alyavakemhelile ku vumosi vwa Kilisite.
7 —it is not a mere variation, but certain people are unsettling you and wanting to distort the Gospel of the Christ.
kusila livangili ilingi, neke kwevale avaanhu vamonga vano vikuvasababikisia imhumhuko na kunoghua kusyetulania ilivangili lwa Kilisite.
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!
neke nambe ndeve twesue au uMhola kuhuma kukyanya apulisia kulyumue ilivangili ilingi lino tukapulisie kulyumue na aghunuaghe.
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!
ndavule ino tukajovile muvutengulilo, lino nijova kange, “ndeve kuli nu muunhu ilikuvapulisia ilivangili ilingi lino namukupile na aghunuaghe,”
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.
pe lino nilonda kuhakikisia ku vaanhu au uNguluve. nilonda kukuvahovosia avaanhu? ndeve nighendelela kughelasia kukuvahovosia avaanhu, une nanili nsung'ua ghwa Kilisite.
11 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the Gospel preached by me is not according to man;
vanyalukolo ninoghua umue mukagule kuuti ilivangili lini nikapulisie nalihumila kuvaanhu.
12 because I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather it came through a revelation from Christ.
nanikwupile kuhuma kwa muunhu, nambe nanikavulanisifue, looli lulyale lwe, vwa Yesu Kilisite kulyune.
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;
mukapulike uvwumi vango uvwa kunsana ku nyifunyo isa kiYahudi, silyale sikumhumhusia ku vukali mu tembile ja Nguluve kukila na kukum'buda.
14 indeed I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age, being far more zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.
nilyaghendelile mu tembile ja kiYahudi kukila avanyalukolo vango vinga avaYahudi. nilyalye nu lughimbo kyongo mu vutavike la vababa vango.
15 But when God—who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through His grace—resolved
neke uNguluve lukamunoghile kukunavua une kuhuma mulileme lwa mama ghwango. akang'emelile une kukilila uvumosi vwake.
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,
kukum'bonesia unswambe n'kate n'jango, neke kuuti nimpulisie u mwene ku vapanji. nanikalondile kuvungua na vaanhu.
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.
kange nanikatoghile ku Yelusalemu ku vala vano valyale vasung'ua ye nikyale une. pe pano nikaluta ku vualabuni na pambele kugomoka ku Damesiki.
18 Subsequently, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to compare notes with Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
amaka ghatatu pambele nikatogha kuluta kuYelusalemu kukumughendela uKefa, nikikalile nagho iighono kijigho ni fihano.
19 (I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
neke nanikamwaghile unsung'ua ujunge neke ju Yakobo unyalukolo ghwa Mutwa.
20 Really, before God, I am not lying in what I write to you.)
loola! pavulongolo pa Ngulluve nanisyanga ku kila kino nilemba kulyumue.
21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
pe pano nikaluta ku fighavo fya Shamu na Kulikia.
22 So I remained unknown by face to the congregations of Judea (those in Christ)
nanika kagulike ku maaso gha tembile ja vaYahudi vano valyale mwa Kilisite,
23 —they just kept hearing that “He who once persecuted us now proclaims the faith he formerly tried to destroy.”
neke vakale vipulika lwene,” umwene juno akale ikutupumhusia lino ipulisia ulwitiko luno akale ikulunangania.”
24 And they glorified God about me.
valyale vikumughinia uNguluve vwimila jango.
