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].
Ma sel Paul, su kuneyuk nu ke orekma lun mwet sap, tia sin mwet ku ke oakwuk lun mwet, a sin Jesus Christ ac God Papa, su akmoulyalak Jesus liki misa.
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].
Mwet lili nukewa su muta yuruk elos wiyu in supu lung lasr nu sin church nukewa in acn Galatia:
3 [I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
Lela God Papa tumasr ac Leum lasr Jesus Christ in asot lungkulang ac misla nu suwos.
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)
Christ el sifacna eisalang ke ma koluk lasr in tulekutla liki pacl koluk se inge. Ke el oru ouinge el akos ma lungse lun God Papa tumasr. (aiōn g165)
Lela in kaksakinyuk God nwe tok ma pahtpat! Amen. (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.”
Nga lut suwos! Tuh kowos sa na in forla liki God, su pangon kowos ke lungkulang lun Christ, ac wela siena kain wosasu.
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].
Pwayeiya uh, wanginna sie pac “wosasu saya,” tusruktu nga fahk ouinge ke sripen oasr mwet akfohsyauk nunak lowos ke elos srike in ekulla Pweng Wo ke Christ.
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].
Tusruk finne kut, ku sie lipufan lucng me, ac luti nu suwos siena wosasu ma ekla liki ma kut luti nu suwos tari, lela God Elan lusulla nu in hell! (questioned)
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.
Kut fahk tari meet, ac inge nga sifilpa fahk: fin oasr kutena mwet luti kowos ke siena wosasu ma ekla liki ma su kowos eis tari, lela mwet sacn in keok in hell! (questioned)
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.
Ya kas luk inge oru kowos nunku mu nga suk ohi sin mwet? Mo, tia ouinge! Ma nga lungse uh pa nga in ohi sin God! Ya nga suk in akinsewowoye mwet? Nga fin oru ouinge, na nga tia mwet kulansap lun Christ.
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].
Mwet lili ac lulu, nga ke fahk nu suwos lah wosasu se ma nga luti uh tia ma sin mwet.
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.
Nga tia eis sin kutena mwet ac wangin mwet luti nu sik. A Jesus Christ sifacna pa fahkak nu sik uh.
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.
Kowos lohng tari ke ouiyen moul luk in pacl se nga tuh wi alu lun mwet Jew, ke nga tuh arulana kalyei church lun God upana, ac nga sang kuiyuk nufon in kunausla.
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].
Inmasrlon mwet Jew puspis su matwana nga, nga pa emeet in akfalye ouiya nukewa ke alu lalos, ac nga arulana moniyuk nu ke mwe luti lun mwet matu tumasr.
15 Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
A ke lungkulang lun God, El nuna sriyula meet liki nga isusla, ac pangonyu ngan kulansupal. Ac ke El sulela tari
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!]!
in akkalemye Wen natul nu sik, tuh nga in ku in fahkak Pweng Wo kacl nu sin mwet pegan, nga tuh tiana som nu yurin kutena mwet in eis kas in kasru selos.
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].
Nga tuh tia pac som nu Jerusalem in sonolos su mwet sap meet likiyu. A nga sa na som nu Arabia, ac toko nga folokla nu Damascus.
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].
Tukun yac tolu, na nga tufah som nu Jerusalem in osun nu sel Peter, ac nga muta yorol wik luo.
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.
Nga tia liye kutena pac mwet sap sayal James, ma lin Leum.
20 God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
Ma nga simis uh ma na pwaye. God El etu lah nga tia kikiap!
21 After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
Toko nga som nu in acn Syria ac Cilicia.
22 [At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
In pacl sac mwet lun church nukewa in acn Judea elos tiana eteyu.
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)!”
Elos lohng na ke mwet uh fahk: “Mwet se ma tuh kalyei kut meet, inge el luti ke lulalfongi se ma el tuh srike in kunausla ah!”
24 And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
Ac ouinge elos kaksakin God ke sripuk.
