Galatians 1
1 [I], Paul, [write this letter to you. I remind you that I am] an apostle. That is not because a group of people [appointed me], nor because a human being [sent me to be an apostle]. Instead, Jesus Christ and God [our heavenly] Father, who caused Jesus to become alive again after he died, have [appointed and] sent [me to be an apostle].
Asappe woykko asa baggara gidonnashin, Yesuus Kiristtoosappenne iya hayqoppe denthida Xoossaa Aawappe hawaare gidana mela kiitettida ta Phawuloosi,
2 All the fellow believers [who are here] with me [approve of this message that I am writing. I am sending this letter] to the congregations that [are] in Galatia [province].
taara de7iya ammaniyaa ishati ubbay, Galaatiyan de7iya woosa keethatas kiittida kiitaa.
3 [I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
Xoossay nu Aawaynne nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosi hinttew aadho keehatethaanne sarotethaa immo.
4 Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn g165)
Ha iita wodiyappe nuna ashshanaw, nu Xoossaa, nu Aawa shenen Kiristtoosi nu nagara gisho bana aathi immis. (aiōn g165)
Xoossaas Merinaappe merinaa gakkanaw bonchchoy gido. Amin7i. (aiōn g165)
6 I am very disappointed [IRO] that so soon [after you trusted in Christ] you have turned away from [God]. He chose you in order that [you might have what] Christ freely/kindly gives. I am also disappointed that so soon you are believing a different [message which some say is] “good news.”
Kiristtoosa aadho keehatethan hinttena xeegida Xoossaa aggidi, hara Wonggelaakko, hintte ellesidi, waanidi simmidaakko tana malaalisees.
7 Their message is not a true message. [What is happening is that] certain persons are confusing your [minds]. They are desiring to change the good message (that Christ [revealed/about] Christ) [and are creating another message].
Hinttena balethanawunne Kiristtoosa Wonggelaa wobbisanw koyaa guutha asati de7oosonappe attin tuma Wonggelay issino.
8 But even if we [(exc) apostles] or an angel from heaven would tell you a message that is different from the good message that we told you [before], I [appeal to God] that [he] punish such a person [forever].
Shin nuna gidin woykko salo kiitanchcho gidin nuuni hinttew koyro odida Wonggelaappe dummattiya hara Wonggelaa hinttew odiyabaa gidikko, I qanggettidabaa gido.
9 As I told you previously, so now I tell you this once more: Someone is telling you [what he says is] a good message, but it is a message that is different from [the good message] that I gave you. So I [appeal to God] that [he] severely punish that person.
Hayssafe sinthe nuuni gidayssada ha77ika zaarada gays. Hintte ekkida Wonggelaappe dummattiya Wonggelaa oonikka hinttew odikko he uray qanggettidabaa gido.
10 [I said that] because [RHQ] I do not desire that people approve me, [contrary to what some have said about me]. It is God whom I desire to approve me. [Specifically, I do not say and do] [RHQ] things just to please people. If it were still people whom I was trying to please, then I would not be one who [willingly and completely] serves Christ.
Yaatin, tana asi nashshana mela koyaynayye? Woykko Xoossi nashshana mela koyaynaa? Woykko ta ase ufayssanaw koyaynaa? Ta ase ufayssanaw koyabaa gidikko, Kiristtoosa aylle gidikke.
11 My fellow believers, I want you to know that the message about Christ that I proclaim to people is not one that some person [created/thought up].
Ta ishato, ta hinttew odida Wonggelay asappe gidonnayssa hintte erana mela ta koyays.
12 I did not receive this message from a human [messenger], and no [human being] taught it to me. Instead, Jesus Christ revealed it to me.
Taw ha Wonggelaa Yesuusi Kiristtoosi qonccisisippe attin asappe ekkabiikke woykko asi tana tamaarssibeenna.
13 People have told you how I used to behave when [I practiced] the Jewish religion. They told you that I continually did very harmful things to the groups of believers that God [established], and they told you that I tried to get rid of those people.
Ta kase Ayhude ammanon de7iya wode waana de7idaakko, hintte si7ideta. Ta woosa keethaa qadhey baynna gooddanawnne dhayssanaw baaxetas.
14 I practiced the Jewish religion more thoroughly than many [other Jews] who were my age practiced it. I much more enthusiastically tried to get others to obey the traditions that my ancestors [kept].
Ayhude ammano naagon, ta woden de7iya Ayhude ishatappe aadhdhays. Nu aawata wogaaskka aadhdhada mishettays.
15 Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
Shin ta buroo ta aaye ulon de7ishin Xoossay tana dooris; ba aadho keehatethan tana xeegis.
16 He wanted me to know that Jesus is (his Son/the man who is also God), so that I would tell others the message about him in regions where non-Jews live. But I did not immediately go to any human beings [SYN] in order to gain [an understanding of that message. I received it directly from Christ!]!
Ayhude gidonna asaas Wonggelaa odana mela Xoossay ba Na7aa taw qonccisida wode ta ooderakka zorettabiikke.
17 I did not [immediately] leave Damascus and go to Jerusalem [for that purpose] to those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away to Arabia [region, a desert area]. Later I returned once more to Damascus [city].
Woykko taappe sinthe hawaare gididayssatara gayttanaw Yerusalaame babiikke. Shin ta kasetada Arabe biittaa bas; hessafe simmada Damasqqo katamaa yas.
18 Then three years after [God revealed this good message to me], I went up to Jerusalem in order that I might meet Peter. But I stayed with him for [only] 15 days, [which was not long enough for him to teach me thoroughly about Christ].
Heedzu laythafe guye, Phexiroosara gayttanaw Yerusalaame bada iyara tammanne ichchashu gallas uttas.
19 I also saw James, the brother of our Lord [Jesus and the leader of the believers there, but] I did not see any other apostle.
Shin Godaa ishaa Yayqoobappe attin hankko hawaareta be7abiikke.
20 God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
Ta hinttew xaafiydayssi worddo gidonnayssa Xoossaa sinthan hinttew qonccisays.
21 After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
Hessafe guye, taani Sooriya biittaanne Kilqiya biittaa bas.
22 [At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
Yihudan de7iya woosa keethaa asay tana be7idi eribookkona.
23 They only heard [others say about me] repeatedly, “[Paul], the one who was formerly doing harmful things to us, is now telling the [same message] which we believe and which formerly he was trying (to destroy/to cause people to stop believing)!”
Shin entti, “Kase nuna gooddiya uray, ha77i he I dhayssanaw koyaa ammanuwabaa sabbakees” yaageyssa si7idosona.
24 And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
Si7ida ubbay ta gaason Xoossaa galatidosona.
