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].
Daytoy ni Pablo nga apostol. Saanak nga apostol manipud kadagiti tattao wenno babaen iti tao, ngem babaen kenni Jesu-Cristo ken ti Dios Ama, a nangpagungar kenkuana.
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].
Kaduak dagiti amin nga agkakabsat, agsursuratak kadagiti iglesia ti Galacia.
3 [I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
Parabur kadakayo ken kappia manipud iti Dios nga Amatayo ken ti Apo a Jesu-Cristo,
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)
a nangited iti bagina maipaay iti basbasoltayo tapno mawayawayaannatayo manipud iti daytoy agdama a lubong iti kinadakes, segun ti pagayatan ti Dios ken Amatayo. (aiōn g165)
Kenkuana ti dayag iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana. (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.”
Masdaawak ta nagbiitkayo a tumaltallikod iti sabali nga ebanghelio. Masdaawak ta tumaltallikodkayo kenkuana a nangawag kadakayo babaen iti parabur ni Cristo.
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].
Awan ti sabali nga ebanghelio, ngem adda dagiti sumagmamano a lallaki a mangrirriribuk kadakayo ken kayatda a tiritiren ti ebanghelio ni Cristo.
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].
Ngem uray no dakami wenno maysa nga anghel manipud langit ti mangiwarawag kadakayo iti ebanghelio a sabali ngem iti inwaragawagmi kadakayo, rumbeng a mailunod isuna.
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.
Kas imbagami idi, ita ibagak manen, “No adda mangiwarawag kadakayo iti ebanghelio malaksid iti siguden nga inawatyo, rumbeng a mailunod isuna.
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.
Ta sapsapulek kadi ita ti yaanamong dagiti tattao wenno iti Dios? Agsapsapulak kadi tapno maay-ayo dagiti tattao? No padpadasek latta nga ay-aywen dagiti tattao, saanak nga adipen ni Cristo.
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 kayatko a maammoanyo, kakabsat, a saan a naggapu ti ebanghelio nga inwaragawagko kadagiti tattao laeng.
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.
Saanko nga inawat daytoy manipud iti tao, saan met a naisuro daytoy kaniak. Ngem ketdi, babaen daytoy iti panangipaltiing ni Jesu-Cristo kaniak.
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.
Nangngeganyo ti maipapan iti sigud a kabibiagko iti Judaismo, no kasano ti nakaro a panangidadanesko kadagiti iglesia ti Dios iti nalabes unay ken ti panangdaddadaelko iti daytoy.
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].
Inartapak dagiti kaaduan a kapatadak a Judio iti Judaismo. Nagregtaak iti kasta unay maipaay kadagiti kaugalian dagiti kapuonak.
15 Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
Ngem naay-ayo ti Dios a nangpili kaniak manipud iti tian ti inak. Inawagannak babaen iti paraburna
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!]!
tapno ipakaammona ti Anakna kaniak, tapno iwaragawagko isuna kadagiti Hentil. Saanak a nakiuman a dagus iti lasag ken dara
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].
ken saanak a simmang-at iti Jerusalem para kadagiti nagbalin nga apostol sakbay kaniak. Ngem ketdi, napanak idiay Arabia ken kalpasanna, nagsubliak idiay Damasco.
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].
Kalpasan ti tallo a tawen, simmang-atak iti Jerusalem tapno sarungkarak ni Cefas ken nakipagnaedak kenkuana iti sangapulo ket lima nga aldaw.
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.
Ngem awan ti nakitak a sabali nga apostol malaksid kenni Santiago, ti kabsat ti Apo.
20 God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
Kitaem, iti sangoanan ti Dios, saanak nga agul-ulbod kadagiti isursuratko kadakayo.
21 After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
Kalpasanna, napanak kadagiti rehion ti Siria ken Cilicia.
22 [At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
Saandak pay a nakitkita dagiti iglesia ti Judea nga adda ken Cristo,
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)!”
ngem mangmangngegda laeng. “Isuna a nangidaddadanes kadatayo idi, iwarwaragawagna ita ti pammati a dinaddadaelna.”
24 And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
Daydayawenda ti Dios gapu kaniak.
