Ndị Galeshịa 1
1 Pọl, onyeozi, na-abụghị site na nhọpụta nke mmadụ maọbụ site nʼike nke mmadụ, kama ọ bụ site nʼaka Jisọs Kraịst na Chineke Nna, onye mere ka ọ site nʼọnwụ bilie.
Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father who raised him from the dead;
2 Ndị ụmụnna niile ndị mụ na ha nọ nʼebe a, Na-edegara nzukọ niile dị na Galeshịa.
with all the brothers who are with me. To the churches of Galatia greeting.
3 Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Onye nyere onwe ya nʼihi mmehie anyị niile dị ka nzube Chineke bụ Nna anyị si dị, ịzọpụta anyị site nʼoge ọjọọ a nke anyị bi nʼime ya. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age in accordance with the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 O juru m anya, na unu esitela nʼebe onye ahụ kpọrọ unu site nʼamara Kraịst wezuga onwe unu, na-agbaso oziọma ọzọ,
I am amazed that you are so soon shifting your ground, and deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ,
7 nke na-abụghị oziọma. O doro anya na ụfọdụ mmadụ na-etinye unu nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya, mgbe ha na-agbalị ịgbanwe oziọma nke Kraịst.
for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 A sikwa na ọ bụ anyị onwe anyị maọbụ mmụọ ozi nke sitere nʼeluigwe bịara kwusaara unu oziọma ọzọ, nke dị iche na nke anyị bụrụ ụzọ kwusaara unu, ka onye dị otu a bụrụ onye abụrụ ọnụ.
But even though I myself or an angel from heaven were to preach any gospel other than that which I did preach to you, let him be accursed.
9 Dị ka anyị buru ụzọ kwuo ya na mbụ, ka m kwuokwa ya ọzọ: Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla na-ekwusara unu oziọma dị iche na nke ahụ unu nabatara, ka onye ahụ bụrụ onye a bụrụ ọnụ.
I have said it before, and I now repeat it, if any one is preaching a gospel to you other than that which you have received, let him be accursed.
10 Ugbu a, ana m agbalị ime ka m bụrụ onye ndị mmadụ maọbụ Chineke ga-anabata? Ka m na-agbalị ime ihe ga-atọ ndị mmadụ ụtọ? Nʼihi na a sị na m na-eme ihe na-atọ ndị mmadụ ụtọ, agaraghị m abụ ohu Kraịst.
Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.
11 Ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ime ka unu mata, na oziọma ahụ m kwusaara unu abụghị ihe mmadụ chepụtara nʼuche ya.
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel I preach is not man-made;
12 Nʼihi na anataghị m ya site nʼaka mmadụ ọbụla, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla ziri m ya, kama ọ bụ Jisọs Kraịst nʼonwe ya bụ onye kpughere ya nye m.
for neither did I myself receive it from man, nor by man was I taught it, but by a revelation an apocalypse of Jesus Christ.
13 Amara m na unu anụla ihe banyere ndụ m nʼoge gara aga, nʼofufe ndị Juu, na otu m si jiri ike kpagbuo nzukọ Chineke nʼebe niile, ma gbalịsiekwa ike ibibi ya.
For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how furiously I used to persecute the church of God, and how I kept seeking to root it out;
14 Abụ m otu nʼime ndị amaara aha ha nʼetiti ndị ọgbọ m, nʼihe banyere ofufe ndị Juu. Nʼihi oke ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi nke m nwere ịgbaso na idebezu ụkpụrụ omenaala na ofufe, nke nna nna m ha.
and how in my zeal for Judaism I outstripped many of my own age and nation, in my special zeal for the traditions of my forefathers.
15 Ma mgbe ọ tọrọ Chineke ụtọ, bụ onye kewapụrụ m iche tupu amụọ m, kpọọ m site nʼamara ya,
But when God who had set me apart from my very birth,
16 ikpughe Ọkpara ya nʼime m, ka m nwe ike kwusaa ihe banyere ya nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ, e jekwurughị m anụ ahụ ọbụla ịnụta ihe ọbụla nʼaka ya.
and had called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach his gospel among the Gentiles, without consulting a human being,
17 Ejekwaghị m Jerusalem ịhụ ndị ahụ bu m ụzọ bụrụ ndị ozi, kama a gara m Arebịa, ma laghachikwa azụ na Damaskọs.
or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who had been apostles before me, I went off at once to Arabia, and on my return came back to Damascus.
18 Ọ bụ mgbe afọ atọ gasịrị, ka m gara Jerusalem ịhụ Sefas. Anọnyekwara m ya ụbọchị iri na ise.
Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter, and spent two weeks with him.
19 Ma ọ dịkwaghị onyeozi ọzọ m hụrụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Jemis, nwanne Onyenwe anyị.
I saw no other apostle except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Ana m agwa unu okwu a nʼihu Chineke. Ihe ndị a m na-ekwu abụghị okwu ụgha.
(In what I am now writing, I call God to witness that I am telling the truth.)
21 Emesịa, agara m Siria na Silisia.
Then I went into the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Ma ndị Kraịst nọ na chọọchị niile dị nʼala Judịa amaghị onye m bụ.
But to the churches of Christ in Judea I was personally unknown;
23 Naanị ihe ha na-ekwu bụ, “Onye ahụ na-esogbu anyị na mbụ na-ekwusazi ugbu a okwukwe ahụ ọ gbalịsịrị ike ibibi na mbụ.”
only they used to hear it said, "He who was once persecuting us is now preaching the gospel of the very faith which he once tried to ruin."
24 Ha nyere Chineke otuto nʼihi m.
And they were giving glory to God on my account.
