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].
Pool taangnawa le, marah mih rah kaamwah raangtaan ih poon theng ngeh angta warah, mina taangnawa tah angka nyia mina thung ih tah angka, Enoothong erah Jisu taangnawa ra taha nyia Jisu Kristo tek nawa ngaaksaat siitte Rangte taangnawa ra taha.
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].
Ani wa hanpiite loong enep nga damdi Galati chaaste loong suh jengseera ah maat hi:
3 [I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih minchan koh hanno semroongroong toomtong thuk han.
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)
Seng loong ah charangneng ethih roidong dowa puipang suh Kristo ih heh teeteewah sak ah, seng loong rangdah raang ih kota, Rangte nyia heh Wah lih jen phan suh ah. (aiōn g165)
Rangte ah roitang raangtaan ih phoongpha theng toom ang ah! 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.”
Sen thung ah seek ih mamah lek lan ngeh rapne paatja lang! Sen ah Kristo minchan nawa ih taat poon tahan eno sen ih ‘ruurangese ehoh ah chaat han.
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].
Amiisak diibah ruurangese tiit ah ehoh amukka, enoothong sen loong thung thet hoomte nyia Kristo ruurangese ah leksiit suh woot chungte mih eje, erah thoi ngah ih baat rumhala.
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].
Enoothong seng ih baat ibah uh rangmong nawa rangsah ih baat abah uh Jisu tiit marah baatti erah lah ang thang ih mok we baat han bah, erah mih ah dut haat ano soolam nah toom wang thuk ah.
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.
Jaakhoh ni uh seng ih baat choi, amadi uh ngah ih we baat rumhala: Ngo ih ang abah uh ruurangese tiit jaakhoh ni marah kapchaat tan erah lah ang thang ih ehoh mok baat han bah, erah mih ah dut haat ano soolam nah toom wang thuk ah!
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.
Arah jenglang ah mina loong laktung nah ngah suh toom seechoh hang likhiik tam jeng lang? Emabah tah angka! Ngah ih jamhang abah Rangte ih toom seechoh ah liihang! Mina loong ih seechoh suh tam liihang? Ngah ih emah mok thun tang bah ngah Kristo laksuh tah ang thengtang.
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].
Phoh ano loong, ngah ih baat rum thaak ha, ruurangese marah baat rumhala erah, mina thung nawa ih tah angka.
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.
Ngah ih mina jiin nawa chothaang ang rah tah angka, edoleh nyootsoot rum hang rah tah angka, erah bah Jisu Kristo heh teeteewah ih dong baat hang rah.
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.
Sen loong suh baat choi nga Jehudi thooroom kap angno songtong tang adi ngah ih Rangte chaas mina loong ah minchan laje thang ih mamah thet haat tang, edoleh siiwi rum tang nyia mathan jen thet haat suh thuntang erah than ih thet haat tang.
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].
Nga roite dung ni Jehudi thooroom soomtuute wahoh nang ih phangkhoh thoon ah ngah angtang, nyia sengte sengwah banlam loong ah rapne ih soomtuute angtang.
15 Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
Enoothong ngah maang tupsom rang di dook Rangte ih heh minchan nawa ih heh mootkaat raangtaan ih juuje tahang. Eno heh ih erah chungta adi
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!]!
heh Sah ah noisok tahang, Ranglajatte loong suh Ruurang Ese baat raangtaan ih ah, eno ngah ih ngo suh uh tah jamcheng tang,
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].
Jerusalem ni uh nga jaakhoh ni Jisu kaamwah loong ang rumta damdoh chomui suh tajook wangtang, enoothong ngah echaan ih Arabia ko ih katang eno erah lini Damaskas ko we ngaak tahang.
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].
Eno ngah paang jom lini Jerusalem ni Pitar jinni ethoithak jat esuh wangtang, erah ni heh damdi asi sa baji roongtong wangtang.
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.
Ngah ih kaamwah wahoh ngo uh tah tuptang enoothong Teesu suh heno angta Jeems ah ba tuptang.
20 God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
Ngah ih ma raanghang ah amiisak. Ngah laleek kang rah Rangte ih jat eha!
21 After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
Erah lih adi ngah Sairia nyia Silisia hah ni wangtang.
22 [At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
Erah tokdi Judia chaas loong nawa mina loong ih ngah tah samjat rum tahang.
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)!”
Neng iba mih jeng arah chaat rum ano ba jat rum tahang: “Marah seng siiwiite kah angta wah ih amadi laalom tiit ah tumbaat ha, marah tiit heh ih thet haat taat chungta rah tiit ah!”
24 And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
Ngah angthoi ih neng loong ih Rangte ah phoongpha rumta.
