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, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among 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 with me; —unto the assemblies of Galatia:
3 Mũrogĩa na wega na thayũ iria ciumĩte kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, o na kũrĩ Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ,
Favour unto you and peace, from God our Father, and 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 the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, — (aiōn g165)
5 nake arotũũra akumagio nginya tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
Unto whom be the glory unto the ages of ages: 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, thus quickly, ye are moving away from him that called you in the favour of Christ, unto a different glad-message, —
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, only there are, some, that are troubling you, and wishing to change the glad-message of the 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, even if, we, or, a messenger out of heaven, announce a glad-message [unto you] aside from that which we announced unto you, accursed, let him be!
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, even now, again, I say: If anyone is announcing unto you a glad-message aside from that which ye accepted, accursed, let him be!
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, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ’s servant, had I not been!
11 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ngwenda mũmenye atĩ Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ndamũhunjĩirie ti ũhoro woimanĩte na mũndũ.
For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced 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, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught [it], —but through a revealing 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, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,
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 was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions.
15 No rĩrĩ, Ngai ũrĩa wanyamũrire kuuma ndaciarwo, na akĩnjĩta nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake-rĩ, nĩ oonire arĩ wega,
But, when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me through his favour, was well-pleased
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 announce the glad-message regarding him among the nations, straightway, 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 unto Jerusalem unto them who, before me, were apostles, —but I went away into Arabia, and again 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, went I up unto Jerusalem, to become acquainted with 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 brother of the Lord: —
20 Ũhoro ũyũ ndĩramwandĩkĩra, ndĩramwĩra ndĩ mbere ya Ngai atĩ nĩ wa ma na ndiraheenania.
Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood: —
21 Thuutha ũcio nĩndacookire ngĩthiĩ Suriata na Kilikia.
After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
22 Niĩ mwene ndiamenyekete nĩ makanitha ma Judea marĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
And was still unknown, by face, unto the assemblies of Judaea which were in Christ, —
23 No kũigua maiguaga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũratũire atũnyariiraga rĩu nĩwe ũrahunjia wĩtĩkio ũrĩa aageragia kũniina mbere ĩyo.”
Only they were hearing—He that was persecuting us formerly, now, is announcing the glad-message of the faith which he formerly laid waste;
24 Nao makĩgooca Ngai nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
And they were glorifying, God, in me.
