< Galatians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
Nghngicim üngka naw lawkia am kya lü, nghngicima phäha pi am kya lü, Jesuh Khritaw mtho beki Pa Pamhnam la Jesuh Khritaw üngka kei Pawluh la,
2 and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
ka hlawnga awmkia jumeiki he naküt naw Kalatiha awmkia sangcim he ning jah hnukset ve ung:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Mi Pa Pamhnam la Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw naw bäkhäknak la dim’yenak ning jah pe se.
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: (aiōn )
Mi Pamhnam la mi Pa ngjakhlüa, tuhkbäih ahina kcün kse üngka naw a jah mhlätnak vaia, Khritaw naw mi katnak hea phäha amät ngpe kyuki; (aiōn )
5 to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Pamhnama veia hlüngtainak angläta ve se! Amen. (aiōn )
6 I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;
Khritawa bäkhäknak üng ning jah khüki yawk u lü, thangkdaw akce nami dokhamei naw na m’yühei ve.
7 which is not another [gospel]: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
“Thangkdaw akce” am ve. Khyang avang naw ning jah mlung mthüiei u lü Khritawa thangkdaw thuhlai hlüsaki he pi ami awma phäha ahikba ka pyen ni.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.
Cunsepi, keimia pi kyase, khankhaw üngka khankhawngsäa pi kyase nami veia kami pyena thangkdawa kthaka hngalangeikia thangkdaw a pyen üngta, mulaimei däa mkateia kya kawm.
9 As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.
Kami ning jah mtheh päng, tuhkbäih ning jah mtheh law be vang: “Nami yah pänga thangkdawa kthaka thangkdaw akce ning jah mtheh lawki a awm üngta mulaimei däa mkateia kya kawm.”
10 For am I now persuading men, or God? or am I seeking to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
Khyanga ngak ka yahnak vaia ka pyenkia mäi lawki aw? Acukba am ni! Mhnama ngaknak ni ka ngjak hlü. Khyang hea ksunga ka ngminga ngthang vai ka ktha naki aw? Acukba ka ni üngta Khritawa m'ya am ka kya khai.
11 For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.
Ka püi he aw, thangkdaw ka sang hin nghngicim khyang üngka ngthuha am kya naw ti ning jah mtheh veng.
12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nghngicim khyang üngka ka yahkia am kya, u naw pi am na mthei naw. Jesuh Khritaw amät naw a na mdana ni akya ve.
13 For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havock of it:
Judah hea jumeinak ka läk k’um üng Pamhnama sangcim he ä jah m’yenei lü jah mkhuimkha lü jah kpyeh vaia ka kthanak khawi cen nami ngjaki.
14 and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Judah hea jumeinak lama kei cun ka ngtehpüi hea kthaka pi ktha na bawk lü, mi pupa hea thumcame üng pi ka ng’apei bawki.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,
Acunsepi am ka hmi law ham üng Pamhnam naw a bäkhäknak am na xü lü amät ka khüih khaia a na khü päng.
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Ka veia a capa a mdan law üng Khyangmjükce hea veia amäta mawng thangkdaw ka sangnak vaia ua mcäinak am kthäh nawng,
17 neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.
keia kthaka ngsäa kya maki he ka jah hmu khaia Jerusalema pi am cit nawng. Arab khawa cit ktäih lü acunüng Damatet khawa ni ka nghlat be ve.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.
Acunüng, kum kthum ngsawk se Pitaa veia ksingkhyapnak ka yah khaia Jerusalem khawa hang cit lü acuia ania hlawnga mhmüp xaleimhma ka awmki.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
Bawipaa na Jakuk dänga thea ngsä akce u am jah hmu nawng.
20 Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Nami veia ka yuk law hmanki. Am ka hleihlak Pamhnam naw ksingki.
21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Acun käna Siria khaw la Kilikih khawa ka citki.
22 And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
Acuna kcün üng Judah khawa sangcim he naw akhyang puma am na ksing ham u.
23 but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havock;
“Ajana jah mkhuimkha khawi lü, ajana a kpyeh hlü khawia jumnak cen sang hü ve” ti khyang hea pyen ngja u lü,
24 and they glorified God in me.
acunüng, keia phäha Pamhnam mküimtoki he.
