Agalatia 1
1 Nĩ niĩ mũtũmwo Paũlũ, na rĩrĩ, ndirĩ mũtũmwo ũtũmĩtwo nĩ andũ o na kana ngatũmwo na njĩra ya mũndũ, no ndũmĩtwo nĩ Jesũ Kristũ na Ngai Ithe witũ, ũrĩa wamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 Niĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe arĩa tũrĩ nao, nĩ ithuĩ tũramũtũmĩra marũa maya, Kũrĩ inyuĩ andũ a makanitha ma Galatia:
and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Mũrogĩa na wega na thayũ iria ciumĩte kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, o na kũrĩ Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 ũrĩa werutire nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maitũ nĩguo atũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ mahinda maya tũrĩ, marĩa maiyũrĩtwo nĩ maũndũ mooru, kũringana na wendi wa Ngai Ithe witũ, (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Niĩ nĩkũgega ndĩragega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mũrahiũha gũtigana na ũrĩa wamwĩtire na ũndũ wa wega wa Kristũ, mũkagarũrũkĩra ũhoro mwega wa mũthemba ũngĩ,
I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;
7 naguo ti Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega o na atĩa. No nĩ kũrĩ andũ maramũhĩngĩĩca makĩenda gũthũkia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Kristũ.
which is not another [gospel]: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 No rĩrĩ, o na kũngĩkorwo nĩ ithuĩ o na kana mũraika uumĩte igũrũ, ũngĩmũhunjĩria ũhoro mwega ũngĩ tiga ũrĩa twamũhunjĩirie-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi nginya tene!
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.
9 O ta ũrĩa tũmwĩrĩte, o na rĩu nĩ nguuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe angĩmũhunjĩria ũhoro mwega ũngĩ tiga ũrĩa mwetĩkirie-rĩ, aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi nginya tene!
As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.
10 Atĩrĩrĩ, ngiuga ũguo-rĩ, kaĩ arĩ andũ ndĩrenda kwĩyendithia kũrĩ o, kana nĩ kũrĩ Ngai? Kana hihi nĩ andũ ndĩrenda gũkenia? Korwo nĩ andũ ngeragia gũkenia-rĩ, ndingĩkorwo ndĩ ndungata ya Kristũ.
For am I now persuading men, or God? or am I seeking to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
11 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ngwenda mũmenye atĩ Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ndamũhunjĩirie ti ũhoro woimanĩte na mũndũ.
For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.
12 Ũhoro ũcio ndiaheirwo nĩ mũndũ, o na kana ngĩthomithio nĩ mũndũ; no nĩ kũguũrĩrio ndaguũrĩirio Ũhoro ũcio nĩ Jesũ Kristũ.
For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Nĩgũkorwo nĩmũiguĩte ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yakwa ya tene, ũrĩa ndaatũire njĩkaga ndĩ thĩinĩ wa ndini ya Ayahudi, na ũrĩa ndanyariiraga kanitha wa Ngai na hinya ngĩgeria kũũniina.
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havock of it:
14 Niĩ ha ũhoro wa maũndũ makoniĩ ndini ya Ayahudi, nĩ ndaathiĩte mbere o na gũkĩra Ayahudi aingĩ a riika rĩakwa na ndaarĩ na kĩyo kĩnene gĩa kũrũmia mĩtugo ya maithe maitũ.
and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 No rĩrĩ, Ngai ũrĩa wanyamũrire kuuma ndaciarwo, na akĩnjĩta nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake-rĩ, nĩ oonire arĩ wega,
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,
16 anguũrĩrie Mũriũ nĩgeetha hunjagĩrie andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ũhoro wake; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndaahoire kĩrĩra,
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 o na ndiambatire Jerusalemu kuonana na arĩa maarĩ atũmwo mbere yakwa, no ndathiire bũrũri wa Arabia na ihenya, na thuutha ũcio ngĩcooka Dameski.
neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.
18 Na rĩrĩ, thuutha wa mĩaka ĩtatũ, nĩndambatire Jerusalemu nĩguo tũkamenyane na Petero, na ngĩikara nake matukũ ikũmi na matano.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.
19 Tũtionanire na atũmwo acio angĩ, tiga o Jakubu, mũrũ wa nyina na Mwathani.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
20 Ũhoro ũyũ ndĩramwandĩkĩra, ndĩramwĩra ndĩ mbere ya Ngai atĩ nĩ wa ma na ndiraheenania.
Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Thuutha ũcio nĩndacookire ngĩthiĩ Suriata na Kilikia.
Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Niĩ mwene ndiamenyekete nĩ makanitha ma Judea marĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 No kũigua maiguaga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũratũire atũnyariiraga rĩu nĩwe ũrahunjia wĩtĩkio ũrĩa aageragia kũniina mbere ĩyo.”
but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havock;
24 Nao makĩgooca Ngai nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
and they glorified God in me.
