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 by man, but by 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 who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Mũrogĩa na wega na thayũ iria ciumĩte kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, o na kũrĩ Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ,
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] 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 from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom [be] 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 soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another 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; but 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 any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
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 said before, so I say now again, If any [man] preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
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 do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ngwenda mũmenye atĩ Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ndamũhunjĩirie ti ũhoro woimanĩte na mũndũ.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 Ũhoro ũcio ndiaheirwo nĩ mũndũ, o na kana ngĩthomithio nĩ mũndũ; no nĩ kũguũrĩrio ndaguũrĩirio Ũhoro ũcio nĩ Jesũ Kristũ.
For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught [it], but by the 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, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted 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 profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of 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 pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by 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 heathen; 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 did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to 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 to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 Tũtionanire na atũmwo acio angĩ, tiga o Jakubu, mũrũ wa nyina na Mwathani.
But I saw no other of the apostles, save James the Lord's brother.
20 Ũhoro ũyũ ndĩramwandĩkĩra, ndĩramwĩra ndĩ mbere ya Ngai atĩ nĩ wa ma na ndiraheenania.
Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Thuutha ũcio nĩndacookire ngĩthiĩ Suriata na Kilikia.
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 Niĩ mwene ndiamenyekete nĩ makanitha ma Judea marĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
And was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ:
23 No kũigua maiguaga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũratũire atũnyariiraga rĩu nĩwe ũrahunjia wĩtĩkio ũrĩa aageragia kũniina mbere ĩyo.”
But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 Nao makĩgooca Ngai nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
And they glorified God in me.
