Galatians 1
1 To the churches in Galatia, from Paul, an apostle whose commission is not from any human authority and is given, not by human beings, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from 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 from all the followers of the Lord here.
mpawo aboonse balombe bali andime, muzibunga zyaku Galantiya:
3 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you and give you peace.
Luzyalo kulindinywe mpawo aluumuno luzwa kuli Leza taatesu mpawo a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito,
4 For Christ, to rescue us from this present wicked age, gave himself for our sins, in accordance with 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 am astonished at your so soon deserting him, who called you through the love of Christ, for a different ‘good news,’
Ndagamba kuti mulikubweeda achakufwambana kuzwa kulinguwe wakamwiita muluzyalo lwa Kkilisito. Ndagamba kuti wasandukila kumakani asiyene,
7 which is really no good news at all. But then, I know that there are people who are harassing you, and who want to pervert the good news of the Christ.
teensi kuti kulaambi makani, Pesi kulibamwi bantu bayanda kumuchitila mapenzi a Kkilisito
8 Yet even if we – or if an angel from heaven were to tell you any other ‘good news’ than that which we told you, may he be accursed!
Pesi nikubakuti swe naa mungelo uuzwa kujulu walikukambawuka kulinduwe makani aatali mbuli aya ngitwakali kukambawuka kulindinywe, ngabe mutuke.
9 We have said it before, and I repeat it now – If anyone tells you a ‘good news’ other than that which you received, may he be accursed!
Mbuli mbutwamba kumatalikilo, mpawo lino ndaamba lubo, “naa umwi wakambawuka kulindinywe makani aatali mbuli ngimwakatambula, ayo ngabe mutuke.”
10 Is this, I ask, trying to conciliate people, or God? Am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I should not be a servant of Christ.
Sa lino ndikulanguula buuya bwamuntu nanka bwa Leza? Saa ndikulangula kuboteezya muntuma? kuti nkecheezya kubotezya muntu, nsichili mulanda waKkilisito.
11 I remind you, friends, that the good news which I told is no mere human invention.
Mbuli mbiyanda kuti muzibe, nobakwesu, kuti makani ngindakambawuka teensi aamuntu.
12 I, at least, did not receive it from any human being, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through a revelation made by Jesus Christ.
Teensi ndakatambula kuzwa kumuntu naba oomwe naanka kuyiisigwa. Nikuba boobo, kwakalikwinda muchiyubunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito kulindime.
13 You heard, no doubt, of my conduct when I was devoted to Judaism – how I persecuted the church of God to an extent beyond belief, and tried to destroy it,
Mwakamvwa ataata akupona kwangu mutunsiyansiya twaba Juda, mbuli mbundakapenzya mbungano zya Leza kuzwa mubwelede mpawo ndalikwezya kuzimwaya.
14 and how, in my devotion to Judaism, I surpassed many of my contemporaries among my own people in my intense earnestness in upholding the traditions of my ancestors.
Ndakakkomena muchanza chamuJuda bwindilide kubiingi oboo bakali beselalyangu, kuzwa kubantu bangu. Obu mbubo bwindilide bwechiyandisyo nchindakali aacho kuchaanza chabamataata.
15 But when God, who had set me apart even before my birth, and who called me by his love,
Pesi elyo nakandibikka kumbali kuzwa muda lyabaama, mpawo ooyo wakandiita kwiinda muluzyalo lwakwe,
16 saw fit to reveal his Son in me, so that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, then at once, instead of consulting any human being,
wakabotelwa akutondezya mwanakwe mulindime, kuchitila kuti ndikakkambawuke akati kabamaasi, Teenda kabukakubuzya aamubili abulowa.
17 or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me, I went to Arabia, and came back again to Damascus.
Teensi ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuli baabo bakali batumwa kunembo lyangu. Kwinda kuchita oobu, ndakayinka ku Alabbiya mpawo ndaboola ku Damasikkasi.
18 Three years afterward I went up to Jerusalem to make the acquaintance of Peter, and I stayed a fortnight with him.
Alimwi nikwakiinda minyaka yotaatwe ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuti nkazibe Sifasi mpawo ndakakukkala anguwe mazuba aalikkumi amusanu.
19 I did not, however, see any other apostle, except James, the Master’s brother.
Pesi takwe mutumwa ngwindakabona kunze kwa Jemusi, mwanike wa Mwami.
20 (As to what I am now writing to you, I call God to witness that I am speaking the truth).
Kulizezi nzindalemba kulindinywe, ndasyomezya kunembo lya Leza kuti nsilikubeja pe.
21 Afterward I went to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
Mpawo ndakayinka kuchisi cha Siliya aku Silisiya.
22 But I was still unknown even by sight to the Christian churches in Judea;
Teensi ndakalizibidwe kumenso akumambungano aku Judaya ali muli Kkilisito.
23 all that they had heard was – ‘The man who once persecuted us is now telling the good news of the faith of which he once tried to destroy.’
Bakazimvwa biyo kazilikwambwa, “mwalumi wakali kutupenzya lino ngulikukambawuka makkani mabotu aa lusyomo ndwakali kwezya kumwaya.”
24 And they praised God for my sake.
Mpawo bakalemeka Leza nkambo kangu.
