Galatians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among 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 brethren who are with me: To the Churches of Galatia.
mpawo aboonse balombe bali andime, muzibunga zyaku Galantiya:
3 May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Luzyalo kulindinywe mpawo aluumuno luzwa kuli Leza taatesu mpawo a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito,
4 who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with 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 marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.
Ndagamba kuti mulikubweeda achakufwambana kuzwa kulinguwe wakamwiita muluzyalo lwa Kkilisito. Ndagamba kuti wasandukila kumakani asiyene,
7 For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.
teensi kuti kulaambi makani, Pesi kulibamwi bantu bayanda kumuchitila mapenzi a Kkilisito
8 But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.
Pesi nikubakuti swe naa mungelo uuzwa kujulu walikukambawuka kulinduwe makani aatali mbuli aya ngitwakali kukambawuka kulindinywe, ngabe mutuke.
9 What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.
Mbuli mbutwamba kumatalikilo, mpawo lino ndaamba lubo, “naa umwi wakambawuka kulindinywe makani aatali mbuli ngimwakatambula, ayo ngabe mutuke.”
10 For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.
Sa lino ndikulanguula buuya bwamuntu nanka bwa Leza? Saa ndikulangula kuboteezya muntuma? kuti nkecheezya kubotezya muntu, nsichili mulanda waKkilisito.
11 For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.
Mbuli mbiyanda kuti muzibe, nobakwesu, kuti makani ngindakambawuka teensi aamuntu.
12 For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from Jesus Christ.
Teensi ndakatambula kuzwa kumuntu naba oomwe naanka kuyiisigwa. Nikuba boobo, kwakalikwinda muchiyubunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito kulindime.
13 For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;
Mwakamvwa ataata akupona kwangu mutunsiyansiya twaba Juda, mbuli mbundakapenzya mbungano zya Leza kuzwa mubwelede mpawo ndalikwezya kuzimwaya.
14 and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.
Ndakakkomena muchanza chamuJuda bwindilide kubiingi oboo bakali beselalyangu, kuzwa kubantu bangu. Obu mbubo bwindilide bwechiyandisyo nchindakali aacho kuchaanza chabamataata.
15 But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,
Pesi elyo nakandibikka kumbali kuzwa muda lyabaama, mpawo ooyo wakandiita kwiinda muluzyalo lwakwe,
16 saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,
wakabotelwa akutondezya mwanakwe mulindime, kuchitila kuti ndikakkambawuke akati kabamaasi, Teenda kabukakubuzya aamubili abulowa.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.
Teensi ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuli baabo bakali batumwa kunembo lyangu. Kwinda kuchita oobu, ndakayinka ku Alabbiya mpawo ndaboola ku Damasikkasi.
18 Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.
Alimwi nikwakiinda minyaka yotaatwe ndakayinka ku Jelusalema kuti nkazibe Sifasi mpawo ndakakukkala anguwe mazuba aalikkumi amusanu.
19 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 making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.
Kulizezi nzindalemba kulindinywe, ndasyomezya kunembo lya Leza kuti nsilikubeja pe.
21 Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.
Mpawo ndakayinka kuchisi cha Siliya aku Silisiya.
22 But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.
Teensi ndakalizibidwe kumenso akumambungano aku Judaya ali muli Kkilisito.
23 They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."
Bakazimvwa biyo kazilikwambwa, “mwalumi wakali kutupenzya lino ngulikukambawuka makkani mabotu aa lusyomo ndwakali kwezya kumwaya.”
24 And they gave glory to God on my account.
Mpawo bakalemeka Leza nkambo kangu.
