< 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.
Pavl an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath 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, vnto the Churches of Galatia:
3 Mũrogĩa na wega na thayũ iria ciumĩte kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, o na kũrĩ Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ,
Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus 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 )
Which gaue himself for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world according to the will of God euen our Father, (aiōn )
5 nake arotũũra akumagio nginya tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn )
To whom be glory for euer and euer, Amen. (aiōn )
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 marueile that ye are so soone remoued away vnto another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christ,
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, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert 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 that we, or an Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise, then that which we haue preached vnto 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 sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, 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 nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant of Christ.
11 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ngwenda mũmenye atĩ Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ndamũhunjĩirie ti ũhoro woimanĩte na mũndũ.
Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was 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 receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus 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 haue heard of my conuersation in time past, in the Iewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of God extremely, 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 Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more 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 (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace)
16 anguũrĩrie Mũriũ nĩgeetha hunjagĩrie andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ũhoro wake; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndaahoire kĩrĩra,
To reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated 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 came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto Damascus.
18 Na rĩrĩ, thuutha wa mĩaka ĩtatũ, nĩndambatire Jerusalemu nĩguo tũkamenyane na Petero, na ngĩikara nake matukũ ikũmi na matano.
Then after three yeeres I came againe to Hierusalem to visite Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes.
19 Tũtionanire na atũmwo acio angĩ, tiga o Jakubu, mũrũ wa nyina na Mwathani.
And none other of the Apostles sawe I, saue Iames the Lords brother.
20 Ũhoro ũyũ ndĩramwandĩkĩra, ndĩramwĩra ndĩ mbere ya Ngai atĩ nĩ wa ma na ndiraheenania.
Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not.
21 Thuutha ũcio nĩndacookire ngĩthiĩ Suriata na Kilikia.
After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia:
22 Niĩ mwene ndiamenyekete nĩ makanitha ma Judea marĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
for I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, 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 onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed.
24 Nao makĩgooca Ngai nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
And they glorified God for me.
