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;
une ne nsung'ua Paulo. une nanilinsung'ua kuhuma kuvaanhu nambe kukilila kuvaanhu, neke kukilila kwa Yesu kilisite nu Nguluve Nhaata juno alyansyuluile kuhuma kuvafue.
2 and from all the followers of the Lord here.
une palikimo na vanyalukolo tukusilembela itembile sooni sa Vagalatia.
3 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you and give you peace.
uvumosi nu lutengano kuhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu nu Mutwa Yesu Kilisite fivisaghe numue.
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)
jino akihumisie vwimila isambi situ neke kuuti atupoke mu fighono ifi fya vuhosi, kuhumilanila nu lughano lwa Nguluve ghwitu nu Nhaata. (aiōn g165)
kwa mwene vuve vwimike vuno navuli kusila na kusila (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,’
nidegha kuuti musyetukila ng'aning'ani mu livangili ilingi, nidegha kuuti musyetukile kutali kuhuma kwa juno alyavakemhelile ku vumosi vwa Kilisite.
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.
kusila livangili ilingi, neke kwevale avaanhu vamonga vano vikuvasababikisia imhumhuko na kunoghua kusyetulania ilivangili lwa Kilisite.
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!
neke nambe ndeve twesue au uMhola kuhuma kukyanya apulisia kulyumue ilivangili ilingi lino tukapulisie kulyumue na aghunuaghe.
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!
ndavule ino tukajovile muvutengulilo, lino nijova kange, “ndeve kuli nu muunhu ilikuvapulisia ilivangili ilingi lino namukupile na aghunuaghe,”
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.
pe lino nilonda kuhakikisia ku vaanhu au uNguluve. nilonda kukuvahovosia avaanhu? ndeve nighendelela kughelasia kukuvahovosia avaanhu, une nanili nsung'ua ghwa Kilisite.
11 I remind you, friends, that the good news which I told is no mere human invention.
vanyalukolo ninoghua umue mukagule kuuti ilivangili lini nikapulisie nalihumila kuvaanhu.
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.
nanikwupile kuhuma kwa muunhu, nambe nanikavulanisifue, looli lulyale lwe, vwa Yesu Kilisite kulyune.
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,
mukapulike uvwumi vango uvwa kunsana ku nyifunyo isa kiYahudi, silyale sikumhumhusia ku vukali mu tembile ja Nguluve kukila na kukum'buda.
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.
nilyaghendelile mu tembile ja kiYahudi kukila avanyalukolo vango vinga avaYahudi. nilyalye nu lughimbo kyongo mu vutavike la vababa vango.
15 But when God, who had set me apart even before my birth, and who called me by his love,
neke uNguluve lukamunoghile kukunavua une kuhuma mulileme lwa mama ghwango. akang'emelile une kukilila uvumosi vwake.
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,
kukum'bonesia unswambe n'kate n'jango, neke kuuti nimpulisie u mwene ku vapanji. nanikalondile kuvungua na vaanhu.
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.
kange nanikatoghile ku Yelusalemu ku vala vano valyale vasung'ua ye nikyale une. pe pano nikaluta ku vualabuni na pambele kugomoka ku Damesiki.
18 Three years afterward I went up to Jerusalem to make the acquaintance of Peter, and I stayed a fortnight with him.
amaka ghatatu pambele nikatogha kuluta kuYelusalemu kukumughendela uKefa, nikikalile nagho iighono kijigho ni fihano.
19 I did not, however, see any other apostle, except James, the Master’s brother.
neke nanikamwaghile unsung'ua ujunge neke ju Yakobo unyalukolo ghwa Mutwa.
20 (As to what I am now writing to you, I call God to witness that I am speaking the truth).
loola! pavulongolo pa Ngulluve nanisyanga ku kila kino nilemba kulyumue.
21 Afterward I went to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
pe pano nikaluta ku fighavo fya Shamu na Kulikia.
22 But I was still unknown even by sight to the Christian churches in Judea;
nanika kagulike ku maaso gha tembile ja vaYahudi vano valyale mwa Kilisite,
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.’
neke vakale vipulika lwene,” umwene juno akale ikutupumhusia lino ipulisia ulwitiko luno akale ikulunangania.”
24 And they praised God for my sake.
valyale vikumughinia uNguluve vwimila jango.
