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 (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Yeshua Meshikha, and 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.
and all the brothers who are with me, to the congregations of Galatia:
3 Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha,
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 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 O juru m anya, na unu esitela nʼebe onye ahụ kpọrọ unu site nʼamara Kraịst wezuga onwe unu, na-agbaso oziọma ọzọ,
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Meshikha to a different "good news";
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.
and there is not another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Meshikha.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 Meshikha.
11 Ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ime ka unu mata, na oziọma ahụ m kwusaara unu abụghị ihe mmadụ chepụtara nʼuche ya.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
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 receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua Meshikha.
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 way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
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.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
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 mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
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.
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 Ejekwaghị m Jerusalem ịhụ ndị ahụ bu m ụzọ bụrụ ndị ozi, kama a gara m Arebịa, ma laghachikwa azụ na Damaskọs.
nor did I go up to Urishlim to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 Ọ bụ mgbe afọ atọ gasịrị, ka m gara Jerusalem ịhụ Sefas. Anọnyekwara m ya ụbọchị iri na ise.
Then after three years I went up to Urishlim to see Kipha and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Ma ọ dịkwaghị onyeozi ọzọ m hụrụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Jemis, nwanne Onyenwe anyị.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except Yaquv, the Lord's brother.
20 Ana m agwa unu okwu a nʼihu Chineke. Ihe ndị a m na-ekwu abụghị okwu ụgha.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Emesịa, agara m Siria na Silisia.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Ma ndị Kraịst nọ na chọọchị niile dị nʼala Judịa amaghị onye m bụ.
I was still unknown by face to the congregations of Yehuda which were in Meshikha,
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.”
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Ha nyere Chineke otuto nʼihi m.
And they glorified God because of me.
