Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle — not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead —
Nye Paulo, apostolo si ame aɖeke medɔ o, eye menye ame aɖeke hã dzi meto o, ke boŋ to Yesu Kristo kple Mawu, Fofo si fɔ Kristo ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso.
2 and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
Nɔvi Kristotɔ, siwo le afi sia kplim la le gbe dom na mi. Na hame siwo le Galatia nutowo me:
3 Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa si tso Mawu, mía Fofo la kple Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo,
4 who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father, (aiōn g165)
ame si ku ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta abe ale si Mawu, mía Fofo la ɖoe ene, eye wòɖe mí tso nu vɔ̃ ƒe xexe vɔ̃ɖi sia me le Mawu, mía Fofo ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu nu. (aiōn g165)
Eya tɔe nye bubu tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;
Ewɔ nuku nam ŋutɔ be miele mia ɖokuiwo hem ɖa kaba alea tso Mawu, ame si yɔ mi be miakpɔ gome le agbe mavɔ si wòna to Kristo ƒe amenuveve me la gbɔ. Miedze nyanyui bubu aɖe yome,
7 that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;
evɔ la, nyanyui bubu aɖeke megali wu esi míefia mi o. Ame siwo dzea ŋe Kristo ƒe nyateƒe la, eye wotrɔnɛ la le mia flum.
8 but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you — anathema let him be!
Nenye míawo alo mawudɔla aɖe tso dziƒo gɔ̃ hã va gblɔ nyanyui bubu aɖe si to vovo tso esi míegblɔ na mi gbɔ la, Mawu ƒe fiƒode neva amea dzi.
9 as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive — anathema let him be!
Abe ale si míegblɔe va yi ene la, megale egblɔm be: ne ame aɖe gblɔ nyanyui bubu aɖe wu esi miexɔ la, Mawu ƒe fiƒode neva ame ma dzi.
10 for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please — Christ's servant I should not be.
Nyemele agbagba dzem be madze amegbetɔwo ŋu o, ke boŋ be madze Mawu ŋu. Nyemele agbagba dzem be madze amewo ŋu o. Nenye ɖe mele agbagba dzem be madze amewo ŋu la, ne nyemenye Kristo ƒe dɔla o.
11 And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,
Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, medi be mana mianya be nyanyui si gblɔm mele la menye nya si tso ame aɖeke gbɔ o.
12 for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,
Nyemexɔe tso ame aɖeke gbɔ o, alo menye ame aɖekee fiam o, ke boŋ mexɔe to ɖeɖefia me tso Yesu Kristo gbɔ.
13 for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,
Miese nu tso ale si menɔ agbee va yi ŋu esi menɔ Yudatɔwo ƒe subɔsubɔ yome; ale si meti Mawu ƒe hame la yome nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe, hedze agbagba be matsrɔ̃ wo.
14 and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers' deliverances,
Mekpɔ ŋgɔyiyi geɖe le Yudatɔwo ƒe subɔsubɔ me wu hanyeti geɖewo, eye meʋã ŋu vevie le mía tɔgbuiwo ƒe kɔnyinyiwo ŋu.
15 and when God was well pleased — having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called [me] through His grace —
Gake esi wòdze Mawu, si tiam tso danye ƒe dɔ me ke ŋu, eye wòto eƒe amenuveve me yɔm,
16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,
eye wòɖe eya ŋutɔ Via fiam be magblɔ eƒe nya na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la, nyemegblɔ be maxɔ aɖaŋu tso amegbetɔ aɖeke gbɔ o.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,
Nyemeyi Yerusalem be matsɔ nya la aɖo ame siwo nye apostolowo do ŋgɔ nam la ŋkume o, ke boŋ meyi Arabia. Emegbe la, metrɔ yi Damasko.
18 then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to enquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days,
Le ƒe etɔ̃ megbe la, meyi Yerusalem be madze si Kefa, eye menɔ egbɔ ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃.
19 and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.
Nyemekpɔ apostoloawo dometɔ aɖeke o, negbe Yakobo, Aƒetɔ la nɔvi ko.
20 And the things that I write to you, lo, before God — I lie not;
Mele kakaɖedzi nam mi le Mawu ŋkume be nya si ŋlɔm mele na mi la menye aʋatso o.
21 then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,
Le esia megbe la, meyi Siria kple Kilikia.
22 and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that [are] in Christ,
Hame siwo le Yudea le Kristo me la medze sim o.
23 and only they were hearing, that 'he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news — the faith that then he was wasting;'
Nu si wonya koe nye nya si amewo nɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Ame si nɔ mía yome tim tsã la le gbeƒã ɖem xɔse si wòdze agbagba be yeatsrɔ̃ la fifia.”
24 and they were glorifying God in me.
Eye wokafu Mawu ɖe tanye.
