Galatians 1
1 To the churches in Galatia, from Paul, an Apostle whose commission is not from men and is given, not by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead;
Ri Pablo, taqoꞌn man kech ta winaq xuqujeꞌ man winaq taj taqowinaq, xane rumal are ri Jesucristo xuqujeꞌ rech ri Dios Tataxel ri xkꞌastajisan ri Jesucristo chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
2 and from all the Brothers here.
Konojel ri alaxik ri e kꞌo wukꞌ, kakitaq rutzil kiwach ri e komontyox ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Galacia:
3 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you and give you peace.
Are ri qatat Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo cheyoꞌw jaꞌmaril xuqujeꞌ toqꞌobꞌ chiꞌwe.
4 For Christ, to rescue us from this present wicked age, gave himself for our sins, in accordance with the will of God and Father, (aiōn g165)
Ri Jesucristo xujach ribꞌ xa rumal ri qamak rech jeriꞌ xujresaj chuxeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri uwachulew rech we qꞌij junabꞌ, are waꞌ ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri qatat Dios. (aiōn g165)
Che Areꞌ yaꞌtal wi kaya ri juluwem chibꞌe qꞌij saq. Jeriꞌ. (aiōn g165)
6 I am astonished at your so soon deserting him, who called you through the love of Christ, for a different ‘Good News,’
Sibꞌalaj kinmayijanik rumal chi aninaq xitzaq kanoq ri xixsikꞌin apanoq pa ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Cristo rech xitereneꞌj chik ri jer kabꞌantaj jun utz laj tzij chik.
7 Which is really no Good News at all. But then, I know that there are people who are harassing you, and who want to pervert the Good News of the Christ.
Man kel ta kubꞌij chi kꞌo chi jun utz laj tzij, xane xa e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj winaq ri kakaj kix kisubꞌu rech jeriꞌ kakikꞌex ubꞌixik ri utz laj utzij ri Cristo.
8 Yet even if we — or if an angel from Heaven were to tell you any other ‘Good News’ than that which we told you, may he be accursed!
We kꞌu ne kꞌo jun chaqe uj, o jun ángel rech chikaj kutzijoj chi jun utz laj tzij chiꞌwe ri man are ta ri qatzijom uj chiꞌwe, chetzelataj uwach.
9 We have said it before, and I repeat it now — If any one tells you a ‘Good News’ other than that which you received, may he be accursed!
Jetaq ri qabꞌim chik chiꞌwe: We kꞌo ne jun kutzijoj jun utz laj tzij chik chiꞌwe ri man are ta xqatzijoj chiꞌwe, qaj kꞌax puꞌwiꞌ.
10 Is this, I ask, trying to conciliate men, or God? Am I seeking to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
¿Jas kꞌu kawaj rukꞌ we riꞌ? ¿La are kꞌu kawaj kinqaj chikiwach ri winaq, o rech kinqaj cho ri Dios? ¿Teꞌq piꞌkꞌuꞌx ix are kawaj kinqaj chikiwach nikꞌaj chik? We kinqaj chikiwach ri winaq, man in rajchak ta bꞌa ri Cristo riꞌ.
11 I would remind you, Brothers, that the Good News which I told is no mere human invention.
Wachalal, kawaj kiwetaꞌmaj chi ri utz laj tzij ri kintzijoj in, man winaq taj tikowinaq loq.
12 I, at least, did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through a revelation made by Jesus Christ.
Man rukꞌ ta winaq xinwetaꞌmaj wi xuqujeꞌ man che ta winaq xinkꞌamawaꞌj wi, xane tzi are ri Jesucristo xkꞌutuw chinuwach.
13 You heard, no doubt, of my conduct when I was devoted to Judaism — how I persecuted the Church of God to an extent beyond belief, and made havoc of it,
Jeriꞌ rumal iwetaꞌm jas jeꞌ kinnoꞌjin kanoq nabꞌe are in kꞌo chikixoꞌl ri winaq aꞌj Israel, are xwaj xinbꞌan kꞌax che ri ukomontyox ri Dios, rech kakꞌis puꞌwiꞌ.
14 and how, in my devotion to Judaism, I surpassed many of my contemporaries among my own people in my intense earnestness in upholding the traditions of my ancestors.
Are xinkꞌojiꞌ kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel in kꞌo na chikiwach ri e wachiꞌl pa ri nukojobꞌal, qas nim xinbꞌan chi rilik ri kinaqꞌatajibꞌal ri nutat nunan.
15 But when God, who had set me apart even before my birth, and who called me by his love,
Pune jeriꞌ, ri Dios xinuchaꞌo are in kꞌo chupam ri nunan, xinusikꞌij apanoq pa ri utoqꞌobꞌ.
16 saw fit to reveal his Son in me, so that I might tell the Good News of him among the Gentiles, then at once, instead of consulting any human being,
Xuqꞌalajisaj ri Ukꞌojol chinuwach rech jeriꞌ kintzijoj chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, man nabꞌe taj xinta che jachinaq.
17 or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who were Apostles before me, I went to Arabia, and came back again to Damascus.
Man xinpaqiꞌ ta xuqujeꞌ pa Jerusalén chutayik chike ri e nabꞌe taq taqoꞌn chinuwach, xane xintzalij pa Arabia, kꞌa te riꞌ xineꞌ chik pa Damasco.
18 Three years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem to make the acquaintance of Peter, and I stayed a fortnight with him.
Are xikꞌow oxibꞌ junabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xinpaqiꞌ pa Jerusalén xeꞌnsolij ri Pedro, xinkanaj kan rukꞌ oꞌlajuj qꞌij.
19 I did not, however, see any other Apostle, except James, the Master’s brother.
Man xinwil ta chi jun chike ri e taqoꞌn chilaꞌ xaq xwi ri Jacobo ri rachalal ri Ajawxel Jesús.
20 (As to what I am now writing to you, I call God to witness that I am speaking the truth).
Qas karil ri Dios chi man bꞌanoj tzij ta ri tajin kinbꞌij chiꞌwe.
21 Afterwards I went to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xineꞌ pa taq ri tinimit rech Siria xuqujeꞌ Cilicia.
22 But I was still unknown even by sight to the Christian Churches in Judea;
Ri e komontyox kꞌut ri e kꞌo pa Cristo je laꞌ pa Judea man ketaꞌm ta nuwach che riꞌ.
23 all that they had heard was — ‘The man who once persecuted us is now telling the Good News of the very Faith of which he once made havoc.’
Xwi kitom ri kakibꞌij ri winaq: Ri achi ri xubꞌan kan kꞌax chaqe nabꞌe, kutzijoj chi ri kojobꞌal ri xraj xuchup uwach.
24 And they praised God on my account.
Kakiya kꞌu uqꞌij ri Dios rumal we.
