Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle, (not from men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
Paulo, Otumiwa- osati otumiwa kucoka ku banthu kapena kutumiwa na umunthu, koma mwa Yesu Kristu na Mulungu Atate, emuusha kwa akufwa-
2 And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
na anekwasu onse ali naneo, kuma chalichi yamu Agalatiya:
3 Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
Cisomo kwa mweo na mtendele kufuma kwa Mulungu Atate na Ambuye Yesu Kristu,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
ezipeleka mumalo mwamacimo yasu kuti atiombole kumukhalidwe uipa wa mtundu uno, mwacifunilo ca Mulungu Atate, (aiōn g165)
kwa yeve ulemelelo osasila. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel:
Nine odabwa kuti muwelela mwamusanga kucoka kwa ekuitanani mwa cisomo ca Kristu. Nine odabwa kuti mwayamba kukonkha ciphunziso ciyakine,
7 Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
osati kuti pali ciphunziso ciyakine, koma pali madoda yaikine oleta musokonezo kwa mweo ndipo ofuna kusintha uthenga wabwino wa Kristu.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
Koma olokuti seo kapena mungelo ocokela kululu awele kuzolalikila uthenga osiyana nawetelalikila seo kwa mweo, lekani atembeleleke.
9 As we said before, so I say now again, If any [man] preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
mwetelabilila poyamba, nalomba pano nulabila soti, “ngati muyakine olalikila uthenga osiyana na wemwelandila, lekani atembeleleke”.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
niliyekuti lomba nufuna mbali ya banthu kapena ya Mulungu? Nufuna kukondwelesha banthu? Ngati nikali kufuna kukondwelesha banthu ndiye kuti ninelini kapolo wa Kristu.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
Cifukwa nufuna muzibe, anekwasu, kuti uthenga wenelabila niwa munthu lini.
12 For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Niliye ulandile kucokela ku munthu aliyense, niliye phunzisiwe na munthu. Koma, cenze mwacivubuluso ca Yesu Kristu paneo.
13 For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it;
Mwecimvwa za moyo wangu wakale mwaciyuda, mwenenzo mangila chalichi ya Mulungu kupyola muyeso ndipo nenzofuna kuti niononge.
14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Neluta pasogolo muciyuda kuposa wonse benze nthanga yangu, kucokela ku mtundu wangu. Ndiye cidwi cenenze naco pa mwambo wa makolo bangu.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
Koma Mulungu, ndiye enipatula kucokela mu mala mwamama, ndiye eniita mwa cisomo cake,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
cemuwamijya kuvumbulushya mwana wake mwaneo, kuti nikalalikile za yeve pa amitundu, niliye fufuze mwamusanga mwathupi na ngazi.
17 Neither did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Niliye lute ku Yelusalemu kwabala enkhala atumwi neo nikaliye. Mumalo mwake, neluta ku Arabiya nowelela soti ku Damasiko.
18 Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Pepepita zaka zitatu neluta ku Yelusalemu kuti nimuzibe Kefas ndipo nenkhala naye masiku fifitini.
19 But I saw no other of the apostles, save James the Lord's brother.
Koma niliye onane na otumiwa aliyense koma Jemusi, mukwao wa Ambuye.
20 Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Pa vanakulembelani, nikusimikijyilani pamenso pa Mulungu kuti nunamalini.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Ndipo neluta ku mizinda ya Asiliya na Silisiya.
22 And was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ:
Nenze nikaliye zibika pa meso kuma chalichi yaku Yudeya ali mwa Yesu.
23 But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Bengokumvwa vukambika, “Lidoda lenzo manga seo lomba yayamba kulalikila mbili yacikhulupililo cenzofuna kuononga poyamba”.
24 And they glorified God in me.
Belemekeza Mulungu kamba ka neo.
