Bagalatia 1
1 Ngai Polo, ntoma oyo abengamaki na bato te to na nzela ya moto te, kasi na Yesu-Klisto mpe na Nzambe Tata oyo asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi,
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 mpe bandeko nyonso oyo bazali elongo na ngai; Epai ya Mangomba ya Galatia:
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Yesu amipesaki mpo na masumu na biso mpo ete, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, Tata na biso, akangola biso longwa na ekeke oyo ya mabe. (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 Nazali kokamwa ete bozali kosundola noki Ye oyo abengaki bino na nzela ya ngolu ya Klisto mpe bozali kolanda sango malamu mosusu
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different Good News;
7 oyo ezalaka kutu te. Solo, ezali na bato oyo bazali kotia mobulu kati na bino mpe bazali koluka kobongola Sango Malamu ya Klisto.
and there is not another Good News. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Kasi soki moto moko, ezala biso to Anjelu moko kowuta na Likolo, ateyi bino sango malamu oyo ekeseni na Sango Malamu oyo biso toteyaki bino, wana tika ete Nzambe alakela ye mabe!
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 Ndenge tolobaki yango liboso, mpe nazali lisusu koloba yango sik’oyo: soki moto moko ateyi bino sango malamu oyo ekeseni na Sango Malamu oyo boyambaki, wana tika ete Nzambe alakela ye mabe!
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 Bozali sik’oyo kokanisa nini na likambo oyo: nazali koluka kosepelisa bato to nazali koluka kosepelisa Nzambe? Boni, nazali koluka kosepelisa bato? Soki nazalaki nanu koluka kosepelisa bato, nalingaki kozala mosali ya Klisto te.
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 Bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba malamu ete Sango Malamu oyo nateyaki bino ezalaki mbuma ya makanisi ya bomoto te.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 Nazwaki yango na moto moko te, nayekolaki yango mpe te; kasi ezali Yesu-Klisto nde alakisaki ngai yango na nzela ya emoniseli.
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 Solo, boyokaki sango ya bizaleli na ngai ya kala tango nazalaki nanu mondimi kati na lingomba ya Bayuda; boyebi mpe ndenge nini nazalaki konyokola Lingomba ya Nzambe mpo na kopanza yango.
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 Kati na lingomba ya Bayuda, nazalaki komata koleka Bayuda ebele ya ekeke na ngai, oyo tozalaki na bango mibu moko ya mbotama; nalekaki bango kutu na bolingo eleka ndelo mpo na bokoko ya batata na ngai.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Kasi tango Nzambe oyo aponaki ngai wuta na libumu ya mama na ngai mpe abengaki ngai na nzela ya ngolu na Ye, asepelaki
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 kotalisa ngai Mwana na Ye na nzela ya emoniseli mpo ete nakoka kosakola Ye kati na Bapagano, natunaki na mbala moko toli epai ya moto ata moko te.
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 Nakendeki kutu na Yelusalemi te mpo na kokutana na bato oyo bakomaki bantoma liboso na ngai, kasi nakendeki nde na Arabi. Sima na yango, nazongaki na Damasi.
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 Ezali sima na mibu misato nde nakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na koyeba Petelo, mpe navandaki epai na ye mikolo zomi na mitano.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Natikalaki komona ntoma mosusu te, longola kaka Jake, ndeko ya Nkolo.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Nzambe azali Motatoli na ngai ete makambo oyo nazali kokomela bino ezali ya lokuta te.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Sima na yango, nakendeki na bituka ya Siri mpe ya Silisi.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Kasi Baklisto ya Mangomba ya Yuda bayebaki ngai te,
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ,
23 bayokaki kaka sango: « Moto oyo azalaki konyokola biso na kala akomi sik’oyo koteya kondima oyo azalaki koluka kobebisa. »
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Mpe bazalaki kokumisa Nzambe na tina na ngai.
And they glorified God because of me.
