< Galatians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
ᏉᎳ, ᎥᎩᏅᏏᏛ, ᏴᏫ ᎬᎩᏅᏏᏛ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᏴᏫ ᎬᎩᏁᏤᎸᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᏥᏌᏍᎩᏂ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᎴᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ ᎤᏲᎱᏒᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᎩᏁᏤᎸᎯ;
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᏦᏤᏙᎭ, ᏫᏨᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᏗᏣᏁᎶᏗ ᏕᏣᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒ ᎨᎴᏏᏱ;
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏅᏩᏙᎯᏯᏛ ᎨᏤᎳᏗᏙᎮᏍᏗ, ᎨᏣᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ,
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn )
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏚᏓᏲᏎ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎩᏍᎦᏅᏨ ᏥᏍᏗ ᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎫᏓᎴᏍᏗᏱ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎡᎲ ᎤᏲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎢᎩᏙᏓ; (aiōn )
5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎠᎴ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎢ. ᎡᎺᏅ. (aiōn )
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
ᎠᎩᏍᏆᏂᎪᏍᎦ ᏥᎾᏞᎬ ᎡᏣᏓᏅᎡᎸ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎢᏥᏯᏅᏛ ᏫᏥᎧᏅᎯ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏥᏥᎬᏫᏳᏔᏅ.
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ; ᎠᏁᎭᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎨᏣᏕᏯᏙᏗᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏂᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᎾᏚᎵᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ.
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
ᎢᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏴ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᏅᏓᏳᎶᏒᎯ, ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏱᏨᏯᎵᏥᏙᏁᎸ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᎢᏨᏯᎵᏥᏙᏁᎸᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏥᏍᎦᏨᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᎢᏲᎩᏪᏛ ᏥᎩ, ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᎯᎠ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᏂᏥᏪᎭ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎢᏣᎵᏥᏙᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ, ᎾᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᏗᏣᏓᏂᎸᏨᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏥᏍᎦᏨᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.
ᎪᎯᏰᏃ ᎨᏒ ᏥᎪ ᏴᏫ ᏗᏆᎵᎢ ᏂᏕᎬᏁᎭ? ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᎨ? ᏥᎪᎨ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᏗ ᏴᏫ ᎠᎩᏲᎭ? ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᏗ ᏴᏫ ᎠᏏ ᏯᎩᏲᎭ, ᎥᏝ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏅᏏᏙᎯ ᏱᎦᎩ.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏨᏃᏁᎭ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏣᏆᎵᏥᏙᏅᎩ, ᎥᏝ ᏴᏫ ᏧᏕᏲᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ.
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏴᏫ ᏗᎬᎩᏲᎯᏎᎸᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏇᏲᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏯᏋᏁᎸᎯ.
13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
ᎢᏣᏛᎦᏅᏰᏃ ᏄᏍᏛ ᏧᏩᎫᏔᏅᏒ ᎠᏆᎴᏂᏙᎸ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᏧᎾᏤᎵ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᏕᏥᎦᎿᎭᏩᏗᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎶᏒᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎦᏥᏯᏕᏯᏙᏔᏅ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬᎢ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᏕᏥᏛᏔᏅᎢ.
14 I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
ᎠᎴ ᎠᎩᏁᏉᏤᎲ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᏧᎾᏤᎵ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᏥᎦᏙᎥᏍᎬᎢ ᏕᏥᎪᎾᏛᏛᎩ ᎤᏂᏣᏘ ᎢᏗᎦᏲᎦᏛᏅ ᏗᏆᏤᎵ ᏴᏫ, ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏛᎩ ᏓᏇᎷᎬᎩ ᏗᎩᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎤᏂᏃᎮᎸᎯ.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏰᎸᏅ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎯᏳ ᎡᏥ ᎠᎩᎾᏄᎪᏫᏒ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎠᏆᏓᏓᎴᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎩᏯᏅᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏪᏥ ᎠᎩᎾᏄᎪᏫᏎᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎦᎵᏥᏙᎲᏍᎬ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᏴᏁᏗᏱ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎠᏁᎲᎢ; ᎩᎳᏉ ᎢᏴᏛ, ᎥᏝ ᎤᏂᏇᏓᎵ ᎠᎴ ᎩᎬ ᎤᏂᏁᎯ ᏱᏗᎦᏥᏯᏁᎶᏔᏁᎢ;
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏥᎷᏏᎵᎻ ᏱᏩᎩᎶᏎᎢ, ᏱᎦᏥᏩᏛᎲᏎ ᎢᎬᏱ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ ᎢᏳᎾᎵᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏴ ᎣᏂ; ᎠᎴᏈᏱᏍᎩᏂ ᏩᎩᎶᏒᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏔᎵᏁ ᏕᎹᏍᎦ ᏛᎠᎩᎷᏨᎩ.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᏦᎢ ᏫᏄᏕᏘᏴᎲ ᏥᎷᏏᎵᎻ ᎠᏇᏅᏒᎩ ᏈᏓ ᎥᏥᏩᏛᎲᏒᎩ, ᎯᏍᎩᎦᏚᏃ ᏧᏒᎯᏛ ᎦᏁᎸ ᎠᎩᏅᎩ.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
ᎠᏂᏐᎢᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᏱᏥᎪᎡ ᏥᎻ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏨᏲᏪᎳᏁᎭ, ᎬᏂᏳᏉ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏔᎲᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᏱᎦᏥᎪᎥᏍᎦ.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
ᎣᏂᏃ ᏏᎵᏱ ᎠᎴ ᏏᎵᏏᏱ ᏩᎩᎶᏒᎩ.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎯ ᏱᎨᏎ ᎠᏆᎧᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᏚᎾᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒ ᏧᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏗᎬᏩᏁᎶᏗ;
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

24 So they glorified God in me.
