Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not an apostle from men nor by human agency, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
Pawulu, mutumwa - uutali mutumwa uzwa kubantu naanka kwiinda mumilimo yabantu, pesi kwiindilila muli Jesu Kkilisito mpawo a Leza Taata, oyo wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu -
2 and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia:
mpawo aboonse balombe bali andime, muzibunga zyaku Galantiya:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Luzyalo kulindinywe mpawo aluumuno luzwa kuli Leza taatesu mpawo a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito,
4 who gave himself for our sins so that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
Wakalipeda lwakwe kuzibi zyesu kuchitilakuti atwaangunune kuzwa kububi bwalino, kwiinda mukuyanda kwa Leza wesu mpwao a Taata, (aiōn g165)
Kulinguwe akube bulemu kwalyoonse alyoonse. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I am amazed that you are turning away so quickly from him who called you by the grace of Christ. I am amazed that you are turning to a different gospel.
Ndagamba kuti mulikubweeda achakufwambana kuzwa kulinguwe wakamwiita muluzyalo lwa Kkilisito. Ndagamba kuti wasandukila kumakani asiyene,
7 This is not to say that there is another gospel, but there are some men who cause you trouble and want to change the gospel of Christ.
teensi kuti kulaambi makani, Pesi kulibamwi bantu bayanda kumuchitila mapenzi a Kkilisito
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel other than the one we proclaimed to you, let him be cursed.
Pesi nikubakuti swe naa mungelo uuzwa kujulu walikukambawuka kulinduwe makani aatali mbuli aya ngitwakali kukambawuka kulindinywe, ngabe mutuke.
9 As we have said before, so now I say again, “If someone proclaims to you a gospel other than the one you received, let him be cursed.”
Mbuli mbutwamba kumatalikilo, mpawo lino ndaamba lubo, “naa umwi wakambawuka kulindinywe makani aatali mbuli ngimwakatambula, ayo ngabe mutuke.”
10 For am I now seeking the approval of men or God? Am I seeking to please men? If I am still trying to please men, I am not a servant of Christ.
Sa lino ndikulanguula buuya bwamuntu nanka bwa Leza? Saa ndikulangula kuboteezya muntuma? kuti nkecheezya kubotezya muntu, nsichili mulanda waKkilisito.
11 For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I proclaimed is not man's gospel.
Mbuli mbiyanda kuti muzibe, nobakwesu, kuti makani ngindakambawuka teensi aamuntu.
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it. Instead, it was by revelation of Jesus Christ to me.
Teensi ndakatambula kuzwa kumuntu naba oomwe naanka kuyiisigwa. Nikuba boobo, kwakalikwinda muchiyubunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito kulindime.
13 You have heard about my former life in Judaism, how I was persecuting the church of God beyond measure and that I was trying to destroy it.
Mwakamvwa ataata akupona kwangu mutunsiyansiya twaba Juda, mbuli mbundakapenzya mbungano zya Leza kuzwa mubwelede mpawo ndalikwezya kuzimwaya.
14 I advanced in Judaism beyond many of those who were my own age, from out of my own people. That is how extremely zealous I was for the traditions of my fathers.
Ndakakkomena muchanza chamuJuda bwindilide kubiingi oboo bakali beselalyangu, kuzwa kubantu bangu. Obu mbubo bwindilide bwechiyandisyo nchindakali aacho kuchaanza chabamataata.
15 But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb, and who called me through his grace,
Pesi elyo nakandibikka kumbali kuzwa muda lyabaama, mpawo ooyo wakandiita kwiinda muluzyalo lwakwe,
16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I would proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood.
wakabotelwa akutondezya mwanakwe mulindime, kuchitila kuti ndikakkambawuke akati kabamaasi, Teenda kabukakubuzya aamubili abulowa.
17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me. Instead, I went to Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
Teensi ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuli baabo bakali batumwa kunembo lyangu. Kwinda kuchita oobu, ndakayinka ku Alabbiya mpawo ndaboola ku Damasikkasi.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to get to know Cephas and I stayed with him fifteen days.
Alimwi nikwakiinda minyaka yotaatwe ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuti nkazibe Sifasi mpawo ndakakukkala anguwe mazuba aalikkumi amusanu.
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
Pesi takwe mutumwa ngwindakabona kunze kwa Jemusi, mwanike wa Mwami.
20 In what I write to you, I assure you before God, that I am not lying.
Kulizezi nzindalemba kulindinywe, ndasyomezya kunembo lya Leza kuti nsilikubeja pe.
21 Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Mpawo ndakayinka kuchisi cha Siliya aku Silisiya.
22 I was still not personally known to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Teensi ndakalizibidwe kumenso akumambungano aku Judaya ali muli Kkilisito.
23 They only heard it being said, “The man who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy.”
Bakazimvwa biyo kazilikwambwa, “mwalumi wakali kutupenzya lino ngulikukambawuka makkani mabotu aa lusyomo ndwakali kwezya kumwaya.”
24 So they glorified God because of me.
Mpawo bakalemeka Leza nkambo kangu.
