Galasi 1
1 Mwen menm Pòl, se pa moun ki te chwazi m', ni Bondye pa t' voye yon moun chwazi m', men se Jezikri menm ki te chwazi m' pou sèvi apòt, ansanm ak Bondye Papa a ki te fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 Tout frè ki isit la yo mete tèt ansanm avè m' pou ekri lèt sa a pou tout legliz ki nan peyi Galasi yo.
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Dapre volonte Bondye, Papa nou, Kris la te bay tèt li pou peche nou yo, pou l' te ka delivre nou anba move tan mechan ki sou latè koulye a. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Mwen sezi wè jan nou prese vire do bay Bondye ki te rele nou, gremesi Kris la, pou n' al swiv yon lòt kalite bon nouvèl.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different "good news";
7 Pou di vre, pa gen okenn lòt bon nouvèl. Men, mwen di sa paske gen moun k'ap plede chaje tèt nou, ki vle chanje anpil bagay nan bon nouvèl Kris la.
and there is not another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Enben, si yon moun ta vin anonse nou yon lòt bon nouvèl ki pa menm ak sa nou te anonse nou an, moun sa a li te mèt se mwen menm, osinon yon zanj ki soti nan syèl, madichon pou li!
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 Mwen deja di nou sa, koulye a m'ap repete nou sa ankò: si yon moun vin anonse nou yon bon nouvèl ki pa menm ak sa nou te resevwa a, madichon pou li!
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 Lè mwen di sa, èske sa vle di se favè moun m'ap chache? Non. Se favè Bondye m'ap chache. Eske se plezi m'ap chache fè lèzòm plezi? Si m' t'ap chache fè lèzòm plezi, se pa Kris la mwen ta ap sèvi.
For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 M'ap di nou sa, frè m' yo, bon nouvèl m'ap anonse a pa soti nan moun.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 Paske mwen menm, mwen pa t' resevwa l' nan men pesonn, ni se pa yon moun ki te moutre m' li. Men, se Jezikri menm ki te fè m' konnen li.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Nou tande pale sa m' te konn fè nan tan lontan, lè m' te nan relijyon jwif yo. Nou konnen jan m' te san pitye lè m' t'ap pèsekite legliz Bondye a, jan m' t'ap chache kraze li.
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 Nan relijyon jwif yo mwen te pi fò pase anpil moun nan ras mwen ki te menm laj avè mwen. Mwen te pi cho pase yo pou defann koutim zansèt nou yo.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Men, Bondye fè m' favè l', li mete m' apa depi nan vant manman m', li rele m' pou m' te ka sèvi li.
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 Konsa, lè se te lide l' pou l' te fè m' konnen Pitit li a, pou m' te ka anonse bon nouvèl li a nan mitan moun ki pa jwif yo, wi, lè sa a, mwen pa t' al mande pesonn konsèy.
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 Mwen pa t' moute Jerizalèm non plis pou m' al wè moun ki te apòt anvan m' yo. Men, mwen te pati la menm pou peyi Arabi. Apre sa, mwen tounen tounen m' lavil Damas.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 Sou twazan, mwen moute lavil Jerizalèm pou m' te fè konesans ak Pyè. Mwen rete kenz jou lakay li.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Lè sa a, mwen pa t' wè okenn nan lòt apòt yo, esepte Jak, frè Seyè a.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Sa m'ap ekri nou la a, se vre wi. Mwen pran Bondye pou temwen, mwen p'ap bay manti.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Apre sa, mwen te ale nan peyi Siri ak Silisi.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Pandan tout tan sa a, manm legliz Kris la ki te nan peyi Jide a pa t' ankò rekonèt mwen.
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ,
23 Yo te sèlman konn tande moun ap di yo: Nonm ki t'ap pesekite nou nan tan lontan an, koulye a men l'ap mache anonse bon nouvèl li te vle kraze a.
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye pou tèt mwen.
And they glorified God because of me.
