Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus (the) Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
Nye Paulo, apostolo si ame aɖeke medɔ o, eye menye ame aɖeke hã dzi meto o, ke boŋ to Yesu Kristo kple Mawu, Fofo si fɔ Kristo ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso.
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
Nɔvi Kristotɔ, siwo le afi sia kplim la le gbe dom na mi. Na hame siwo le Galatia nutowo me:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah,
Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa si tso Mawu, mía Fofo la kple Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo,
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
ame si ku ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta abe ale si Mawu, mía Fofo la ɖoe ene, eye wòɖe mí tso nu vɔ̃ ƒe xexe vɔ̃ɖi sia me le Mawu, mía Fofo ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu nu. (aiōn g165)
Eya tɔe nye bubu tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Messiah to a different gospel;
Ewɔ nuku nam ŋutɔ be miele mia ɖokuiwo hem ɖa kaba alea tso Mawu, ame si yɔ mi be miakpɔ gome le agbe mavɔ si wòna to Kristo ƒe amenuveve me la gbɔ. Miedze nyanyui bubu aɖe yome,
7 and there is not another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the gospel of Messiah.
evɔ la, nyanyui bubu aɖeke megali wu esi míefia mi o. Ame siwo dzea ŋe Kristo ƒe nyateƒe la, eye wotrɔnɛ la le mia flum.
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
Nenye míawo alo mawudɔla aɖe tso dziƒo gɔ̃ hã va gblɔ nyanyui bubu aɖe si to vovo tso esi míegblɔ na mi gbɔ la, Mawu ƒe fiƒode neva amea dzi.
9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
Abe ale si míegblɔe va yi ene la, megale egblɔm be: ne ame aɖe gblɔ nyanyui bubu aɖe wu esi miexɔ la, Mawu ƒe fiƒode neva ame ma dzi.
10 For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Messiah.
Nyemele agbagba dzem be madze amegbetɔwo ŋu o, ke boŋ be madze Mawu ŋu. Nyemele agbagba dzem be madze amewo ŋu o. Nenye ɖe mele agbagba dzem be madze amewo ŋu la, ne nyemenye Kristo ƒe dɔla o.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, medi be mana mianya be nyanyui si gblɔm mele la menye nya si tso ame aɖeke gbɔ o.
12 For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus (the) Messiah.
Nyemexɔe tso ame aɖeke gbɔ o, alo menye ame aɖekee fiam o, ke boŋ mexɔe to ɖeɖefia me tso Yesu Kristo gbɔ.
13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
Miese nu tso ale si menɔ agbee va yi ŋu esi menɔ Yudatɔwo ƒe subɔsubɔ yome; ale si meti Mawu ƒe hame la yome nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe, hedze agbagba be matsrɔ̃ wo.
14 I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Mekpɔ ŋgɔyiyi geɖe le Yudatɔwo ƒe subɔsubɔ me wu hanyeti geɖewo, eye meʋã ŋu vevie le mía tɔgbuiwo ƒe kɔnyinyiwo ŋu.
15 But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
Gake esi wòdze Mawu, si tiam tso danye ƒe dɔ me ke ŋu, eye wòto eƒe amenuveve me yɔm,
16 to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
eye wòɖe eya ŋutɔ Via fiam be magblɔ eƒe nya na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la, nyemegblɔ be maxɔ aɖaŋu tso amegbetɔ aɖeke gbɔ o.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
Nyemeyi Yerusalem be matsɔ nya la aɖo ame siwo nye apostolowo do ŋgɔ nam la ŋkume o, ke boŋ meyi Arabia. Emegbe la, metrɔ yi Damasko.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Le ƒe etɔ̃ megbe la, meyi Yerusalem be madze si Kefa, eye menɔ egbɔ ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
Nyemekpɔ apostoloawo dometɔ aɖeke o, negbe Yakobo, Aƒetɔ la nɔvi ko.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
Mele kakaɖedzi nam mi le Mawu ŋkume be nya si ŋlɔm mele na mi la menye aʋatso o.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Le esia megbe la, meyi Siria kple Kilikia.
22 I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Messiah,
Hame siwo le Yudea le Kristo me la medze sim o.
23 but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
Nu si wonya koe nye nya si amewo nɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Ame si nɔ mía yome tim tsã la le gbeƒã ɖem xɔse si wòdze agbagba be yeatsrɔ̃ la fifia.”
24 And they glorified God because of me.
Eye wokafu Mawu ɖe tanye.
