Abhagalatia 1
1 Nanye Paulo intumwa. Anye nitali ntumwa okusoka ku bhanu nolwo kulabha ku bhanu, Nawe ni kulabha ku Yesu Kristo na Nyamuanga Lata unu amusuluye okusoka mu bhafuye.
Paul, an apostle—appointed not by men nor through man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2 Amwi na bhaili bhone nanye, enigandikila amakanisa Galatia.
and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Echigongo chibhe amwi nemwe no mulembe gunu gusokele ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe no Mukama Yesu Kristo,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 unu esosishe omwene kulwe bhibhibhi bhyeswe koleleki achigululule mu katungu kanu ako bhuyabhi, okusokana ne lyenda lya Nyamuanga weswe na Lata. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father. (aiōn g165)
To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Enilugula okubha mwaindukie iinjili indi bhwangu. Enilugula ati omuindukila alela okusoka ku mwene unu abhabhilikie kulwe chigongo cha Kristo.
I am astonished that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel,
7 Italio iinjili indi, mbe nawe bhalio abhanu bhalebhe bhanu abhabhaletelesha jinyako no kwenda okuindula iinjili ya Kristo.
not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Mbe nawe nolwo eswe amwi bhamalaika okusoka mu lwile nalasha kwemwe iinjili indi tali inu chabhalasishe ewemwe, afumilisibhwe.
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed!
9 Lwa kutyo chaikile kubhwambilo, olyanu enaika lindi, “Akabha alio munu nabhalasisha emwe iinjili indi kukila inu mwalamiye, afumilisibhwe.”
As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!
10 Angu wolyanu eniyenja echibhalikisho cha bhanu amwi cha Nyamuanga? Eniyenja okubhakondelesha abhanu? Labha enigendelela okubhakondelesha abhanu anye nitali mukosi wa Kristo.
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Bhaili, enenda mumenye ati iinjili inu nabhalasisishe itali yo kusoka ku bhanu.
But I make known to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached did not originate with man.
12 Nitailamie okusoka ku munu amwi okwiigisibhwa. Nawe yaliga ibhonesibhwe okusoka ku Kristo okuja kwanye.
For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Mwamalile okungwa ingulu ya kalibhatie kani ka inyuma okusoka mu dini ye Chiyaudi, lwa kutyo naliga ninyasha kulwo bhululu ikanisa ya Nyamuanga okukila muno no kuisingalisha.
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
14 Naliga nigendelee mu dini ye Chiyaudi kukila abhaili bhani bhanfu Abhayaudi. Naliga no bhubhasi muno muntungwa ja balata bhani.
I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, being far more zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Mbe nawe Nyamuanga jamukondee okunsola anye kusoka munda ya mai. Ambilikiye anye okulubhana ne chigongo chae
But when God, who set me apart before I was born and called me by his grace, was pleased
16 okumubhonesha Omwana wae mwanye, koleleki nimulashe ku bhanu bha maanga. Nolwo nitalondele bhwitondo bhwo mubhili no bhwa manyinga
to reveal his Son in me so that I could preach good news about him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 nitagendele Yerusalemu kubhanu bhaliga jintumwa bhanu bha ntangatie. Mbe nawe nagendele Uarabuni nimala ninsubha Damesiki.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
18 Jejile jawa myaka esatu ningenda Yerusalemu okulibhatila Kefa, niniyanja nage nsiku ekumi ne tanu.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Peter, and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
19 Mbe nawe nitalolele jintumwa indi tali Yakobo enyele, omuili wabho Omukama.
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
20 Lola, imbele ya Nyamuanga, nitakujiga mujinu enandika kwemwe.
(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
21 Neishe ningenda mu mikoa ja Shamu na Kilikia.
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Naliga ntakumenyekana mu meso ku makanisa ga Bhuyaudi ganu galiga mu Kristo,
But I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23 mbe nawe bhaliga nibhongwa ala, “Unu aliga nachinyasha olyanu kalasha elikilisha linu aliga nalinyamula.”
They were only hearing people say, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24 Bhaliga nibhamukusha Nyamuanga ingulu yani.
So they were glorifying God because of me.
