Galatians 1
1 PAUL, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
Pọl, onyeozi, na-abụghị site na nhọpụta nke mmadụ maọbụ site nʼike nke mmadụ, kama ọ bụ site nʼaka Jisọs Kraịst na Chineke Nna, onye mere ka ọ site nʼọnwụ bilie.
2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
Ndị ụmụnna niile ndị mụ na ha nọ nʼebe a, Na-edegara nzukọ niile dị na Galeshịa.
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
Onye nyere onwe ya nʼihi mmehie anyị niile dị ka nzube Chineke bụ Nna anyị si dị, ịzọpụta anyị site nʼoge ọjọọ a nke anyị bi nʼime ya. (aiōn g165)
Onye otuto dịịrị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
O juru m anya, na unu esitela nʼebe onye ahụ kpọrọ unu site nʼamara Kraịst wezuga onwe unu, na-agbaso oziọma ọzọ,
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
nke na-abụghị oziọma. O doro anya na ụfọdụ mmadụ na-etinye unu nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya, mgbe ha na-agbalị ịgbanwe oziọma nke Kraịst.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
A sikwa na ọ bụ anyị onwe anyị maọbụ mmụọ ozi nke sitere nʼeluigwe bịara kwusaara unu oziọma ọzọ, nke dị iche na nke anyị bụrụ ụzọ kwusaara unu, ka onye dị otu a bụrụ onye abụrụ ọnụ.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Dị ka anyị buru ụzọ kwuo ya na mbụ, ka m kwuokwa ya ọzọ: Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla na-ekwusara unu oziọma dị iche na nke ahụ unu nabatara, ka onye ahụ bụrụ onye a bụrụ ọnụ.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Ugbu a, ana m agbalị ime ka m bụrụ onye ndị mmadụ maọbụ Chineke ga-anabata? Ka m na-agbalị ime ihe ga-atọ ndị mmadụ ụtọ? Nʼihi na a sị na m na-eme ihe na-atọ ndị mmadụ ụtọ, agaraghị m abụ ohu Kraịst.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ime ka unu mata, na oziọma ahụ m kwusaara unu abụghị ihe mmadụ chepụtara nʼuche ya.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nʼihi na anataghị m ya site nʼaka mmadụ ọbụla, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla ziri m ya, kama ọ bụ Jisọs Kraịst nʼonwe ya bụ onye kpughere ya nye m.
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
Amara m na unu anụla ihe banyere ndụ m nʼoge gara aga, nʼofufe ndị Juu, na otu m si jiri ike kpagbuo nzukọ Chineke nʼebe niile, ma gbalịsiekwa ike ibibi ya.
14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Abụ m otu nʼime ndị amaara aha ha nʼetiti ndị ọgbọ m, nʼihe banyere ofufe ndị Juu. Nʼihi oke ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi nke m nwere ịgbaso na idebezu ụkpụrụ omenaala na ofufe, nke nna nna m ha.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
Ma mgbe ọ tọrọ Chineke ụtọ, bụ onye kewapụrụ m iche tupu amụọ m, kpọọ m site nʼamara ya,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
ikpughe Ọkpara ya nʼime m, ka m nwe ike kwusaa ihe banyere ya nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ, e jekwurughị m anụ ahụ ọbụla ịnụta ihe ọbụla nʼaka ya.
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Ejekwaghị m Jerusalem ịhụ ndị ahụ bu m ụzọ bụrụ ndị ozi, kama a gara m Arebịa, ma laghachikwa azụ na Damaskọs.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Ọ bụ mgbe afọ atọ gasịrị, ka m gara Jerusalem ịhụ Sefas. Anọnyekwara m ya ụbọchị iri na ise.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
Ma ọ dịkwaghị onyeozi ọzọ m hụrụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Jemis, nwanne Onyenwe anyị.
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Ana m agwa unu okwu a nʼihu Chineke. Ihe ndị a m na-ekwu abụghị okwu ụgha.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Emesịa, agara m Siria na Silisia.
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:
Ma ndị Kraịst nọ na chọọchị niile dị nʼala Judịa amaghị onye m bụ.
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Naanị ihe ha na-ekwu bụ, “Onye ahụ na-esogbu anyị na mbụ na-ekwusazi ugbu a okwukwe ahụ ọ gbalịsịrị ike ibibi na mbụ.”
24 And they glorified God in me.
Ha nyere Chineke otuto nʼihi m.
