Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him out of 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 brothers with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
mpawo aboonse balombe bali andime, muzibunga zyaku Galantiya:
3 Grace to 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 deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
Wakalipeda lwakwe kuzibi zyesu kuchitilakuti atwaangunune kuzwa kububi bwalino, kwiinda mukuyanda kwa Leza wesu mpwao a Taata, (aiōn g165)
Kulinguwe akube bulemu kwalyoonse alyoonse. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I wonder that you are so quickly removed from Him who called you in the grace of Christ to another good news—
Ndagamba kuti mulikubweeda achakufwambana kuzwa kulinguwe wakamwiita muluzyalo lwa Kkilisito. Ndagamba kuti wasandukila kumakani asiyene,
7 not that there is another, except there are certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;
teensi kuti kulaambi makani, Pesi kulibamwi bantu bayanda kumuchitila mapenzi a Kkilisito
8 but even if we or a messenger out of Heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we proclaimed to you—let him be accursed!
Pesi nikubakuti swe naa mungelo uuzwa kujulu walikukambawuka kulinduwe makani aatali mbuli aya ngitwakali kukambawuka kulindinywe, ngabe mutuke.
9 As we have said before, and now say again: if anyone may proclaim to you good news different from what you received—let him be accursed!
Mbuli mbutwamba kumatalikilo, mpawo lino ndaamba lubo, “naa umwi wakambawuka kulindinywe makani aatali mbuli ngimwakatambula, ayo ngabe mutuke.”
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 Christ’s servant.
Sa lino ndikulanguula buuya bwamuntu nanka bwa Leza? Saa ndikulangula kuboteezya muntuma? kuti nkecheezya kubotezya muntu, nsichili mulanda waKkilisito.
11 And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that was proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,
Mbuli mbiyanda kuti muzibe, nobakwesu, kuti makani ngindakambawuka teensi aamuntu.
12 for neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,
Teensi ndakatambula kuzwa kumuntu naba oomwe naanka kuyiisigwa. Nikuba boobo, kwakalikwinda muchiyubunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito kulindime.
13 for you heard of my behavior once in Judaism, that I was exceedingly persecuting the Assembly of God, and destroying it,
Mwakamvwa ataata akupona kwangu mutunsiyansiya twaba Juda, mbuli mbundakapenzya mbungano zya Leza kuzwa mubwelede mpawo ndalikwezya kuzimwaya.
14 and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in my own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers’ deliverances,
Ndakakkomena muchanza chamuJuda bwindilide kubiingi oboo bakali beselalyangu, kuzwa kubantu bangu. Obu mbubo bwindilide bwechiyandisyo nchindakali aacho kuchaanza chabamataata.
15 and when God was well pleased—having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called [me] through 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 proclaim Him as good news among the nations, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
wakabotelwa akutondezya mwanakwe mulindime, kuchitila kuti ndikakkambawuke akati kabamaasi, Teenda kabukakubuzya aamubili abulowa.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus;
Teensi ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuli baabo bakali batumwa kunembo lyangu. Kwinda kuchita oobu, ndakayinka ku Alabbiya mpawo ndaboola ku Damasikkasi.
18 then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to inquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days,
Alimwi nikwakiinda minyaka yotaatwe ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuti nkazibe Sifasi mpawo ndakakukkala anguwe mazuba aalikkumi amusanu.
19 and I did not see [any] other of the apostles, except James, the brother of the LORD.
Pesi takwe mutumwa ngwindakabona kunze kwa Jemusi, mwanike wa Mwami.
20 And the things that I write to you, behold, before God—I do not lie;
Kulizezi nzindalemba kulindinywe, ndasyomezya kunembo lya Leza kuti nsilikubeja pe.
21 then I came into the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,
Mpawo ndakayinka kuchisi cha Siliya aku Silisiya.
22 and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that [are] in Christ,
Teensi ndakalizibidwe kumenso akumambungano aku Judaya ali muli Kkilisito.
23 and they were only hearing that “he who is persecuting us then, now proclaims good news—the faith that he was then destroying”;
Bakazimvwa biyo kazilikwambwa, “mwalumi wakali kutupenzya lino ngulikukambawuka makkani mabotu aa lusyomo ndwakali kwezya kumwaya.”
24 and they were glorifying God in me.
Mpawo bakalemeka Leza nkambo kangu.
