< Galatians 1 >
1 Paul, an Apostle, not from men, neither by man; but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from the dead;
Hlang lamkah pawt tih, hlang rhangnen pawt tih, Jesuh Khrih neh duek lamkah anih aka thoh a pa Pathen rhangneh caeltueih Paul neh,
2 and all the brethren who are with me, to the congregations of Galatia:
ka taengkah manuca boeih loh Galati hlangboel rhoek taengah kan yaak sak.
3 Favor to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Mamih a pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah nangmih taengah om saeh.
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn )
Mamih kah tholhnah kongah amah aka hnawn uh te. Te daengah ni ta kumhal kah aka pai boethae khui lamloh a pa neh Pathen kah kongaih bangla mamih n'hlawt eh. (aiōn )
5 to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Thangpomnah tah a taengah kumhal kah kumhal ah om pai saeh. Amen. (aiōn )
6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him who called you into the favor of Christ, to another gospel;
Khrih kah lungvatnah dongah nangmih aka khue taeng lamloh a tloe olthangthen la ki na buung uh te ka ngaihmang van.
7 which is not another: but there are some who trouble you, and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Te te a tloe la a om moenih. Te pawt akhaw nangmih aka hinghuen tih Khrih kah olthangthen palet ham aka ngaih tehlangvang na om uh.
8 But if even we, or an angel from heaven, declare a gospel to you, different from what we have declared to you, let him be accursed.
Tedae kaimih neh vaan lamkah puencawn long pataeng nangmih taengah ka phong uh te nangmih ham voelh a phong atah kosi yook saeh.
9 As we said before, so now I say again, if any one declare a gospel to you, different from what you have received, let him be accursed.
Thui tangtae vanbangla tahae akhaw koep ka thui. Pakhat mai loh na doe uh tangtae te nangmih taengah voelh a phong atah kosi yook saeh.
10 For do I now conciliate men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Hlang nim, Pathen nim ka ngaitang coeng he. Hlang kolo nim ka toem. Hlang taengkah kolo ka toem pueng atah Khrih kah sal la ka om eh ka ti moenih.
11 Now I certify you, brethren, concerning the gospel which was declared by me, that it is not according to men.
Te dongah manuca rhoek nangmih taengah ka phoe coeng. Kai loh ka phong olthangthen he hlang dongah a kungsut moenih.
12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, except by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Kai tah hlang lamloh ka doe pawt tih n'thuituen bal moenih. Tedae Jesuh Khrih kah pumphoenah rhangnen ni.
13 You have certainly heard of my behavior formerly in Judaism; that I exceedingly persecuted the congregation of God, and laid it waste;
Hnukbuet kah Judah sing neh ka omih te na yaak uh coeng. A puehkan aih la Pathen kah hlangboel te ka hnaemtaek tih ka thup.
14 and made progress in Judaism above many of the same age with myself, in my own nation, being more exceedingly jealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Judah sing dongah ka namtu lakli kah thawnpuei rhoek lakah ka lamhma. Kamah patuel rhoek kah singyoe aka om dongah khaw muep ka hmae.
15 But when God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his favor, was pleased
Tedae a nu bung lamloh kai aka hoep tih a lungvatnah neh aka khue Pathen loh, a capa te ka pum dongah pumphoe sak ham a lungtlun.
16 to reveal his Son to me, that I might declare the good news concerning him to the Gentiles; immediately I did not consult flesh and blood:
Amah te ni namtom taengah ka thui eh. Thii neh saa neh koeloe ka thaem moenih.
17 neither did I go up to Jerusalem, to them who were Apostles before me; but I went away in Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
Kai hlankah caeltueih rhoek taengah Jerusalem lam khaw ka cet pawh. Tedae Arabia la ka cet tih Damasku la koep ka bal.
18 Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Te lamkah a kum thum phoeiah Jerusalem la ka cet tih Kephas te ka ming. Te vaengah anih taengah hnin hlainga ka om.
19 But I saw no other of the Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.
Tedae Boeipa kah a mana James pawt atah a tloe caeltueih rhoek te ka hmu pawh.
20 Now as to the things which I write to you, behold, God is my witness that I do not falsely affirm.
Te dongah Pathen hmuhah ka laithae moenih tila nangmih ham ka daek he ne.
21 After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Te phoeiah Syria neh Kilikia pingpang la ka pawk.
22 and I was personally unknown to the congregations of Judea which are in Christ.
Tedae ka om vaengkah Khrih ah Judea kah hlangboel maelhmai te khaw ka mangvawt coeng.
23 They had only heard that--he who formerly persecuted us, now announces, as glad tidings, the faith which he formerly destroyed.
Tedae, “Hnukbuet kah mamih aka hnaemtaek loh hnukbuet kah a phae tangnah te a phong coeng,” tila a yaak uh dawk nen ni a om uh.
24 And they glorified God on my account.
Te vaengah kai dong lamloh Pathen te a thangpom uh.
