< Galatians 1 >

1 PAUL the apostle (not sent from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and our 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 brethren with me, to the churches of Galatia:
mpawo aboonse balombe bali andime, muzibunga zyaku Galantiya:
3 grace unto 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, that he might pluck us out of this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
Wakalipeda lwakwe kuzibi zyesu kuchitilakuti atwaangunune kuzwa kububi bwalino, kwiinda mukuyanda kwa Leza wesu mpwao a Taata, (aiōn g165)
5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kulinguwe akube bulemu kwalyoonse alyoonse. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that ye are so quickly departed from him that called you, by the grace of Christ into another gospel
Ndagamba kuti mulikubweeda achakufwambana kuzwa kulinguwe wakamwiita muluzyalo lwa Kkilisito. Ndagamba kuti wasandukila kumakani asiyene,
7 which is not another; but there are certain persons who trouble you, and desire to pervert the gospel of Christ.
teensi kuti kulaambi makani, Pesi kulibamwi bantu bayanda kumuchitila mapenzi a Kkilisito
8 But though even we, or an angel from heaven, preach unto you another gospel, different from that which we have preached to you, let him be an anathema.
Pesi nikubakuti swe naa mungelo uuzwa kujulu walikukambawuka kulinduwe makani aatali mbuli aya ngitwakali kukambawuka kulindinywe, ngabe mutuke.
9 As we have before spoken, and I now repeat it again, If any man preach a gospel different from that ye have received, let him be anathema.
Mbuli mbutwamba kumatalikilo, mpawo lino ndaamba lubo, “naa umwi wakambawuka kulindinywe makani aatali mbuli ngimwakatambula, ayo ngabe mutuke.”
10 For do I now use persuasions from men, or from God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Sa lino ndikulanguula buuya bwamuntu nanka bwa Leza? Saa ndikulangula kuboteezya muntuma? kuti nkecheezya kubotezya muntu, nsichili mulanda waKkilisito.
11 But I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not a merely human ministry.
Mbuli mbiyanda kuti muzibe, nobakwesu, kuti makani ngindakambawuka teensi aamuntu.
12 For I neither received it from man, nor was taught, but by immediate revelation from Jesus Christ.
Teensi ndakatambula kuzwa kumuntu naba oomwe naanka kuyiisigwa. Nikuba boobo, kwakalikwinda muchiyubunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito kulindime.
13 For ye have heard of my former manner of life, when I professed Judaism, that in the most outrageous manner I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
Mwakamvwa ataata akupona kwangu mutunsiyansiya twaba Juda, mbuli mbundakapenzya mbungano zya Leza kuzwa mubwelede mpawo ndalikwezya kuzimwaya.
14 and signalized myself in Judaism above many of those of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.
Ndakakkomena muchanza chamuJuda bwindilide kubiingi oboo bakali beselalyangu, kuzwa kubantu bangu. Obu mbubo bwindilide bwechiyandisyo nchindakali aacho kuchaanza chabamataata.
15 But when it pleased God, who selected me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
Pesi elyo nakandibikka kumbali kuzwa muda lyabaama, mpawo ooyo wakandiita kwiinda muluzyalo lwakwe,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach the glad tidings of him to the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,
wakabotelwa akutondezya mwanakwe mulindime, kuchitila kuti ndikakkambawuke akati kabamaasi, Teenda kabukakubuzya aamubili abulowa.
17 nor went up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Teensi ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuli baabo bakali batumwa kunembo lyangu. Kwinda kuchita oobu, ndakayinka ku Alabbiya mpawo ndaboola ku Damasikkasi.
18 Afterwards at the expiration of three years I went up unto Jerusalem to pay a visit to Peter, and I abode with him fifteen days.
Alimwi nikwakiinda minyaka yotaatwe ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuti nkazibe Sifasi mpawo ndakakukkala anguwe mazuba aalikkumi amusanu.
19 But I saw no other of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
Pesi takwe mutumwa ngwindakabona kunze kwa Jemusi, mwanike wa Mwami.
20 Now respecting the things which I write unto you, behold, in the presence of God, I lie not.
Kulizezi nzindalemba kulindinywe, ndasyomezya kunembo lya Leza kuti nsilikubeja pe.
21 Afterwards I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Mpawo ndakayinka kuchisi cha Siliya aku Silisiya.
22 and I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea, which are in Christ:
Teensi ndakalizibidwe kumenso akumambungano aku Judaya ali muli Kkilisito.
23 only they had heard, that he who persecuted us in time past, now preaches the faith which he once laid waste.
Bakazimvwa biyo kazilikwambwa, “mwalumi wakali kutupenzya lino ngulikukambawuka makkani mabotu aa lusyomo ndwakali kwezya kumwaya.”
24 And they glorified God on my behalf.
Mpawo bakalemeka Leza nkambo kangu.
