Galatians 1
1 Paulos, an apostle, not from men, nor by men, but by Jeshu the Meshiha, and Aloha his Father, who raised him from among the dead,
UPawuli umphostoli ongaveli ebantwini, njalo kungekho ngomuntu, kodwa ngoJesu Kristu, langoNkulunkulu uYise owamvusa kwabafileyo,
2 and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches which are in Galatia:
labazalwane bonke abalami, kumabandla eGalathiya:
3 Grace be with you and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,
Umusa kawube kini lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba, leNkosini yethu uJesu Kristu,
4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from this evil world, according to the will of Aloha our Father: (aiōn g165)
owazinikela ngenxa yezono zethu, ukuze asophule kulo umhlaba omubi wakhathesi, ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu loBaba wethu; (aiōn g165)
obukuye ubukhosi kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 I am amazed how soon you have been turned from the Meshiha himself, who called you by his grace,
Ngiyamangala ukuthi limhlamuke masinyane kangaka lowo owalibizela emuseni kaKristu, laya kwelinye ivangeli;
7 unto another gospel, which it is not; but there are men who disturb you, and (who) wish to remove you from the gospel of the Meshiha.
elingeyisilo elinye; kodwa bakhona abanye abalididayo bethanda ukuhlanekela ivangeli likaKristu.
8 But if we also, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you other than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
Kodwa lanxa kungaba yithi kumbe ingilosi evela ezulwini engalitshumayeza ivangeli elehlukene lalelo esalitshumayeza lona, kayibe yisiqalekiso.
9 As I have said before, and now again say to you, If any man preach to you other than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Njengoba sesitshilo, lakhathesi ngiyaphinda ngithi: Uba umuntu elitshumayeza ivangeli elehlukene lalelo elalemukelayo, kabe yisiqalekiso.
10 For now do I persuade men, or Aloha? or do I seek to please men? For if until now I had pleased men, I should not have been the servant of the Meshiha.
Ngoba ngincenga abantu loba uNkulunkulu khathesi yini? Kumbe ngidinga ukuthokozisa abantu yini? Ngoba uba ngisathokozisa abantu, ngingebe yinceku kaKristu.
11 But I make known to you, my brethren, that the gospel which is preached by me was not from man:
Kodwa ngiyalazisa, bazalwane, ivangeli elatshunyayelwa yimi, ukuthi alinjengokomuntu.
12 for neither from man had I received it and taught it, but by the revelation of Jeshu the Meshiha.
Ngoba lami kangilemukelanga emuntwini, futhi kangilifundiswanga, kodwa ngokwembulelwa kukaJesu Kristu.
13 For you have heard of my former manners in Judaism, that I exceedingly persecuted the church of Aloha, and made it desolate.
Ngoba selizwile ukuhamba kwami kwakuqala kobuJuda, ukuthi ngalizingela kakhulukazi sibili ibandla likaNkulunkulu, njalo ngangilichitha;
14 And I excelled in Judaism more than many of the sons of my years who were of my kindred, and was exceedingly zealous for the doctrine of my fathers.
njalo ngangiphumelela kubuJuda ngaphezu kwabanengi abayintanga yami esizweni sami, ngatshisekela ngokwengeziweyo amasiko abobaba.
15 But, when He willed who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
Kodwa nxa kwaba kuhle kuNkulunkulu, owangehlukanisa kusukela esizalweni sikamama, wangibiza ngomusa wakhe,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I should preach among the nations, immediately I did not disclose to flesh and to blood;
ukwembula iNdodana yakhe kimi, ukuze ngiyitshumayele phakathi kwabezizwe, khona lapho kangelulekananga lenyama legazi;
17 neither went I to Urishlem, to the apostles who were before me, but I went into Arabia, and again returned unto Darmsuk.
futhi kangenyukelanga eJerusalema kubo ababengabaphostoli ngaphambi kwami, kodwa ngasuka ngaya eArabhiya, ngasengiphinda ngibuyela eDamaseko.
18 And after three years I went unto Urishlem, that I might see Kipha, and I remained with him days fifteen.
Emva kwalokho sekwedlule iminyaka emithathu ngenyukela eJerusalema ukuyabonana loPetro, ngasengihlala laye insuku ezilitshumi lanhlanu.
19 But others of the apostles I saw not, only Jakub, the brother of our Lord.
Kodwa kangibonanga lamunye wabaphostoli, ngaphandle kukaJakobe umfowabo weNkosi.
20 But these which I write to you, behold, before Aloha, that I lie not.
Lezinto engilibhalela zona, khangelani, phambi kukaNkulunkulu, kangiqambi manga.
21 And after these I went to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia.
Emva kwalokho ngaya ezabelweni zeSiriya lezeKilikhiya.
22 Neither did the churches of Jihud which are in the Meshiha know me by face.
Njalo ngangingakaziwa ngobuso emabandleni eJudiya ayekuKristu;
23 But this only they had heard, that he who had formerly persecuted us, behold, now preacheth he that faith which he beforetime had overthrown.
kodwa ayesizwa nje ukuthi: Owake wasizingela, usetshumayela ukholo owake waluchitha,
24 And in me they glorified Aloha.
asedumisa uNkulunkulu kimi.
