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].
Assi xeygidaden asi Kiitidade gidonta Yesuss Kiristossa hayqope denthida iza aawa Xoossafe kiititda Phawulossape.
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].
Tanagara diza ishata wurisofe Gelatiyan diza wossa keethatas.
3 [I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
Nu aawa Xoossafe Goda Yesuss Kiristossa Xoossa kiyatethine saroy intes gido.
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)
Nu aawa Xoossa shenemala hayssa ita 7alamezape nuna ashanas nena aththi imidaysas. (aiōn g165)
Xoossas medhiipe medhiina gakanas izas bonchoy gido. (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.”
Inte intena Kiristossa kiiyatethan xeygidaysa agagidi hara duma shako mishiracho qaalakko siimidaysi tana daro garanthes (malalises)
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].
Tumape qasse isinipe hara mishiracho qaalay dena. Coo intena balethanasne Kiristossa mishiracho qaala miirqanas koyza is asati detes.
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].
Gido attiin nuna gidin woykko sallo kiitanchata gidinka nu intes sabkiida mishiracho qaalape hara duma mishiracho qaala sabakiko he uray medhiinaso qangetidade giido.
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.
Nu kase gidamalaka ta haikka zaridaka kasse inte eko mishiracho qaalape hara duma mishiracho qaala sabakiko izadey medhinas qangetidade gido gays.
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.
Haii ta asi tana eroshi hashuganamala koyazina ye Xoosi hashu gaana mala koyazina? Woykko asa ufaysana koyazina? Ta ase ufaysana koyzako Kiristossa oothancha 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 intes sabakiida mishirachoy asa ootho gidontaysa inte eranamala 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.
Ta asape ekabeykene asape tamara beyke. Yesuss Kiristossa tas qonccisides attiin.
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.
Tani kasse Ayhudata amano wana diidakone Xoossa wossa keethe ta aymala godidakone qasse mule dhaysanas ta aymala dafetidakone inte siydista.
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].
Kase ta diza woden diza daro Ayhude asata darotape amanon adhays. Kasse nu awata waga naganas daro minays shin.
15 Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
Gido attiin kasse koyro tana ta ayy ullon bes shakiida ba kiiyatethan ana xeygida Xoossi.
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!]!
Amanonta dereza gidon iza gish ta sabakanamala ba naza tanan qoncisana dosida gish ta asho mayda asara oonaraka zoristabeyke.
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].
Tape kasse Haware gididaytako Yerusalame ba beyke shin amanida mala heraka arabe biita badis hepekka Damasqo simadis.
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].
Hepeka heezdzdu laythae guye Phixirossara gaganas Yerusalame kezadis. Izara gagada tamane ichachu galas gakanas gam7adiis.
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.
Gidikokka Goda Gakanas gam7adis.
20 God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
Haysa ta intes xafizaysan wogado hasa7ontaysa Xoossa sinthan yotays.
21 After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
Hessafe guye gede Soriyane Kilqiya getetiza dere badis.
22 [At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
Kirstossa amaniza yodan diza wossa keethata asay tana bey eretena.
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)!”
Gido attiin “Beni nuna amano gish godi dhaysana koyza adezi haii he amano zari sabakes” Giza wore xala siiyda.
24 And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
Isti ta giidon Xoosu galatida.
