Galatians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle not appointed by any human organization or human authority. Quite the contrary: I was appointed by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Jesus from the dead.
Paulu, aposteli tí a rán kì í ṣe láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn wá, tàbí nípa ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n nípa Jesu Kristi àti Ọlọ́run Baba, ẹni tí ó jí i dìde kúrò nínú òkú.
2 All the brothers and sisters here with me join in sending this letter to the churches in Galatia.
Àti gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi, Sí àwọn ìjọ ní Galatia:
3 May the grace and peace of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ sí yín àti àlàáfíà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wá àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa,
4 Jesus gave himself for our sins to set us free from this current world of evil, following the will of our God and Father. (aiōn g165)
ẹni tí ó fi òun tìkára rẹ̀ dípò ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, kí ó lè gbà wá kúrò nínú ayé búburú ìsinsin yìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run àti Baba wa, (aiōn g165)
ẹni tí ògo wà fún láé àti láéláé. Àmín. (aiōn g165)
6 I'm shocked at how quickly you're abandoning the God who by the grace of Christ called you. You are turning to a different kind of good news
Ó yà mi lẹ́nu pé ẹ tètè yapa kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí ó pè yín sínú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Kristi, sí ìyìnrere mìíràn.
7 that isn't good news at all! Some people there are confusing you, wanting to pervert the good news of Christ.
Nítòótọ́, kò sí ìyìnrere mìíràn bí ó tilẹ̀ ṣe pé àwọn kan wà, tí ń yọ yín lẹ́nu, tí wọ́n sì ń fẹ́ yí ìyìnrere Kristi padà.
8 But if anyone, even we ourselves, or even an angel from heaven, should promote any other kind of good news than what we have already told you, let them be condemned!
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe àwa ni tàbí angẹli kan láti ọ̀run wá, ni ó bá wàásù ìyìnrere mìíràn fún yín ju èyí tí a tí wàásù rẹ̀ fún yín lọ, jẹ́ kí ó di ẹni ìfibú títí láéláé!
9 I repeat what we've told you before: if anyone promotes any other kind of good news than what you've already accepted, let them be condemned!
Bí àwa ti wí ṣáájú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo sì tún wí nísinsin yìí pé, bí ẹnìkan bá wàásù ìyìnrere mìíràn fún yín ju èyí tí ẹ̀yin tí gbà lọ, jẹ́ kí ó di ẹni ìfibú títí láéláé!
10 Whose approval do you think I want—that of people, or of God? Do you think I'm trying to please people? If I wanted to please people I wouldn't be a servant of Christ!
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ènìyàn ni èmi ń wá ojúrere rẹ̀ ní tàbí Ọlọ́run? Tàbí ènìyàn ni èmi ń fẹ́ láti wù bí? Bí èmi bá ń fẹ́ láti wu ènìyàn, èmi kò lè jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ Kristi.
11 Let me make it clear, my friends, regarding the good news I'm declaring—it did not come from any human being.
Mo fẹ́ kí ẹ mọ̀, ará, pé ìyìnrere tí mo tí wàásù kì í ṣe láti ipa ènìyàn.
12 I didn't receive it from anyone, and nobody taught it to me—it was Jesus Christ who revealed it to me.
N kò gbà á lọ́wọ́ ènìyàn kankan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò fi kọ́ mi, ṣùgbọ́n mo gbà á nípa ìfihàn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu Kristi.
13 You heard how I behaved as a follower of the Jewish religion—how I fanatically persecuted God's church, savagely trying to destroy it.
Nítorí ẹ̀yin ti gbúròó ìgbé ayé mi nígbà àtijọ́ nínú ìsìn àwọn Júù, bí mo tí ṣe inúnibíni sí ìjọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run rékọjá ààlà, tí mo sì lépa láti bà á jẹ́.
14 I surpassed my contemporaries in the practice of the Jewish religion because I was so fervently devoted to the traditions of my ancestors.
Mo sì ta ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi yọ nínú ìsìn àwọn Júù láàrín àwọn ìran mi, mo sì ni ìtara lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ sì òfin àtọwọ́dọ́wọ́ àwọn baba mi.
15 But when God (who had set me apart from birth) called me through his grace, and was pleased
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó wú Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ó yà mí sọ́tọ̀ láti inú ìyá mi wá, tí ó sì pé mi nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀.
16 to reveal his Son to me so that I could announce the good news to the nations, I didn't discuss this with anyone.
Láti fi ọmọ rẹ̀ hàn nínú mi, kì èmi lè máa wàásù ìyìnrere rẹ̀ láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà; èmi kò wá ìmọ̀ lọ sọ́dọ̀ ẹnikẹ́ni,
17 I didn't go to Jerusalem to talk to those who preceded me as apostles; instead I left for Arabia, and then later returned to Damascus.
bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò gòkè lọ sì Jerusalẹmu tọ àwọn tí í ṣe aposteli ṣáájú mi, ṣùgbọ́n mo lọ sí Arabia, mo sì tún padà wá sí Damasku.
18 After three years I went to Jerusalem to visit Peter. I stayed with him for two weeks.
Lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́ta, nígbà náà ni mo gòkè lọ sì Jerusalẹmu láti lọ kì Peteru, mo sì gbé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìjọ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún,
19 I didn't see any other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
èmi kò ri ẹlòmíràn nínú àwọn tí ó jẹ́ aposteli, bí kò ṣe Jakọbu arákùnrin Olúwa.
20 (Let me assure you before God that I'm not lying about what I'm writing to you!)
Nǹkan tí èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín yìí, kíyèsi i, níwájú Ọlọ́run èmi kò ṣèké.
21 Then I went to Syria and Cilicia.
Lẹ́yìn náà mo sì wá sí agbègbè Siria àti ti Kilikia.
22 Even so, my face wasn't known to those in the churches of Judea.
Mo sì jẹ́ ẹni tí a kò mọ̀ lójú fún àwọn ìjọ tí ó wà nínú Kristi ni Judea.
23 They had only heard people say, “The man who used to persecute us is now spreading the faith he once tried to destroy!”
Wọ́n kàn gbọ́ ìròyìn wí pé, “Ẹni tí ó tí ń ṣe inúnibíni sí wa rí, ní ìsinsin yìí ti ń wàásù ìgbàgbọ́ náà tí ó ti gbìyànjú láti bàjẹ́ nígbà kan rí.”
24 —and they praised God because of me.
Wọ́n sì yin Ọlọ́run lógo nítorí mi.
