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, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back 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 brothers 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 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, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it. (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 am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;
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 sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news 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 even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.
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 is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.
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.
Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would 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.
Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.
12 Ũhoro ũcio ndiaheirwo nĩ mũndũ, o na kana ngĩthomithio nĩ mũndũ; no nĩ kũguũrĩrio ndaguũrĩirio Ũhoro ũcio nĩ Jesũ Kristũ.
For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in 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 news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to 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 went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from 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, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,
16 anguũrĩrie Mũriũ nĩgeetha hunjagĩrie andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ũhoro wake; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndaahoire kĩrĩra,
To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of 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.
And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back 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 up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.
19 Tũtionanire na atũmwo acio angĩ, tiga o Jakubu, mũrũ wa nyina na Mwathani.
But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.
20 Ũhoro ũyũ ndĩramwandĩkĩra, ndĩramwĩra ndĩ mbere ya Ngai atĩ nĩ wa ma na ndiraheenania.
Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.
21 Thuutha ũcio nĩndacookire ngĩthiĩ Suriata na Kilikia.
Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Niĩ mwene ndiamenyekete nĩ makanitha ma Judea marĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:
23 No kũigua maiguaga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũratũire atũnyariiraga rĩu nĩwe ũrahunjia wĩtĩkio ũrĩa aageragia kũniina mbere ĩyo.”
Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;
24 Nao makĩgooca Ngai nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
And they gave glory to God in me.
