< 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—
Nene Paulo umbanda sanili mbanda ukhuhuma kuvanu khange ukhugendela kwu munu, une ukhugendele mwa Yesu Klisite nu Nguluve Dada uvya chusi ncha kuhuma kuvufwe.
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
Paninie na valokolo lwango voni, nikhugusimbila umpelela gwa Vagalatia.
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Uluhungu luve khulyumwe nu lwidiko ulwihuma kwa Nguluve uDada vitu nuntwa u Yesu Klisite,
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 g165)
uvyaihumiche mwene khwu nongwa inchito ukhuta atupoke mu myaka igi igya vuvivi, ukhukongana nu lugano lwa Nguluve vetu nu Dada. (aiōn g165)
5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kumwene vuve vuvanche sikhu nchoni. (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
Ni dega ukhuva msyetuka khimbivi kwu livangili ilinge. Nidegi ukhuva msyetukhila kuvutali ukhuma khu mwene uviavilangile khuluhungu lwa Klisite.
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
Lesikuli ilivangili ilinge, lino kulivange avanu avikhuvalondela isida nukhunugwa ukhunche nyia ilivangili ililivunge nilyu twa va vulile kuhiumwe akhotoliwage.
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.
Lakini hata kama ni sisi au malaika mbinguni atatangaza kwenu injili tofauti na ile tuliyoitangaza kwenu, na alaaniwe.
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.
Nduvu tuchovile pavutengulilo, khange lino nichova, “Ingave kulimunu ikhuvavula ilivangili ili livunge nilyu mwupilile akhatoliwage.”
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.
Ulwa khuva lino nilonda uvwa yilweli vwa vanu au uNguluve? Nilonda ukhuvahovosya avanu? Ingave nikwendelela ukhugela ukhuvahovosya avanu, une sanili mbombi va Klisite.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Valokolo lwango ninogwa umwe mlomanye ukuta ilivangili ilyo ninchova salihoma ku munu.
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Sanaupilile khu munu khange sana manyesiwe. Lwale luvonekelo lwa Yesu Klisite kyulyune.
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.
Mmvile mmupulike imitamile gyango igya kusana udini ya vuyuta, ummuyikhavelile vunikhu ligatancha khuvukali itembile ya Nguluve pakyanya pagelelo nu kuliya ncha.
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.
Une nilikwendelela ni dini ya kiyuta avalokolo lwango vingi vayuta nikhele ne mmaka fincho mmvile gya dada vango.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
UNguluve anogolwe ukhung'ala une ukhuhuma mwitumbu mwe mama. Akhanyilanga une ukhugendele mu nduhungu lwa mwene.
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
Ukhumbonesya unswambe mgati ndyone une nintangasye umwene khuvanu ava panji, khange sanalonde avakunanga khimbili nu nkisa,
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.
nukutoga ukhuluta khwu Yelusalemu kwu vala uvuvale vavanda une vubadu. Une nikhaluta kyu valabu nu khukilivuka kwu Damesiki.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Vugilutile immyakha gidatu nikhatoga ukhuluta kwu Yelusalemu kwu ngendela uKefa, nikhatama nave ifigono kumi na tano
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
ukwa sanavavone avavanda avange yumwene uYakobo, ulukololwe va nkolodeva.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
Lola khuvulongolo kwa Nguluve sanisyova ikyu nikwandika khuliumwe.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Pu nikhalufa ku mikoa gya Shamu na kwu Kilikia.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
Sanilikuma nyikhikha kumiho ga tembile iya vayuta ugugale mmumbu Klisite,
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
valikupulikhe vuvule, “Umwene uvyalikhutu nyanya mikha lino ikhulunchuva ulwidiko lwulwa alikhulu nanga.”
24 So they glorified God in me.
Valikhugina uNguluve.
