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; )
Njame Paulo mutumwa, ndiya kusalwa ne bantu nambi kupitila mu muntu sobwe, nsombi ndalasalwa ne Yesu Klistu, kayi ne Lesa Bata balamupundusha kubafu.
2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
Ame pamo ne baname abo bali pamo nenjame, tulamupanga mitende mibungano ya mucibela ca Galatiya.
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Kwina moyo ne lumuno lwa Lesa Bata ne Mwami Yesu Klistu lube nenjamwe.
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)
Yesu walaliyaba pacebo cakwambeti atulubule ku bwipishi bwetu, kayi walatupulusha kufuma kubuyumi bwaipa bwacino cindi. Walensa bintu mbyalikuyanda Lesa Ishetu. (aiōn g165)
Bulemeneno butapu bube kuli Lesa cindi conse. 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:
Ndakankamananga pakuboneti mulapatukunga kufuma kuli Lesa walamukuwa kwelana ne kwina moyo kwa Klistu, mulatatiki kukonka mulumbe naumbi,
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
mulumbe ngomulakonkelenga nte mulumbe waina sobwe. Nsombi kuli bantu nabambi balayandanga kumufulunganya pakusandula Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Klistu.
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.
Nomba uliyense, nambi njafwe nambi mungelo lafumu kwilu wisakumukambaukila Mulumbe Waina wapusana ne ngotwalamukambaukila, uyo ashinganwe.
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.
Mbuli ncotwalambapo kendi kayi ndabweshengaponga kwambeti muntu uliyense weshi akamukambaukile mulumbe wapusana ne Mulumbe Waina ngotwalamwambila, uyo abe washinganwa.
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.
Sena pakwamba bintu ibi ndayandangeti bantu bansuminishe? Sobwe, nsombi kwambeti Lesa ansuminishe. Sena ndayandanga kwambeti nkondweleshe bantu? Nendalikuyanda kukondwelesha bantu, nendalabula kuba musebenshi wa Klistu.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Mobanse, kamuleka ndimwambile, Mulumbe Waina uyo ngonkute kukambauka nkaukute kufuma kubantu sobwe.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nkandalautambula kufuma kubantu sobwe, kayi kuliya muntu walanjiyisha, nsombi ni Yesu Klistu mwine ewalanjubulwila Mulumbe uwu.
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:
Mwalanyumfwa bwikalo bwakame bwakaindi mpondalikuba mumpaililo ya Ciyuda. Ndalikuba muntu walikupensha mubungano wa Lesa kwakubula inkumbo, kayi ndalikuyandishisha kuwonongelalimo.
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.
Ndalikupita baname bangi balikuba bamushimba wakame pakwinsa bintu bya mpaililo ya Ciyuda, kayi ndalikuba walibenga pakukonka miyambo ya bashali betu.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
Nsombi Lesa walampatula kantana nsemwa, kayi mukwina moyo kwakendi walankuweti ndimusebensele. Lino mpwalayanda
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
kundesha Mwanendi kwambeti njenga akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha endiye kubantu bamishobo naimbi, ndiya kuyapo kumuntu naumbi kwambeti ampeko mano.
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Kayi nkandalayapo ku Yelusalemu kuya kubona balatanguna kuba batumwa kantana mba umo wa endibo. Nsombi ndalaya ku Alabiya kayi ne kubwelela ku Damasiko.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Mpopalapita byaka bitatu ndalaya ku Yelusalemu akunyumfwa makani kuli Petulo, ndalekalako masuba akwana likumi ne asanu.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
Nkandalabonapo mutumwa naumbi, nsombi enkowa Jemusi mukwabo Mwami.
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Ncondalembenga nicakubinga, kayi neye Lesa ucinshi kwambeti nkandabepenga sobwe.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Kufumapo ndalaya ku cibela ca ku Siliya ne ku Kilikiya.
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:
Pacindi ico bantu ba mumibungano ya ku Yudeya nkabalikunjishiba ame sobwe.
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Balikunyufwowa mbyobali kwamba bantu eti, “Usa muntu walikutupensha lakambaukunga lushomo ndwalelesha kushina!”
24 And they glorified God in me.
Neco balalumbaisha Lesa pacebo ca njame.
