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 men, neither by man; but by 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 brethren who are with me, to the congregations of Galatia:
3 Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
Favor to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our 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 from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be the glory for ever 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 wonder that you are so soon removed from him who called you into the favor of Christ, to another gospel;
7 oyo ezalaka kutu te. Solo, ezali na bato oyo bazali kotia mobulu kati na bino mpe bazali koluka kobongola Sango Malamu ya Klisto.
which is not another: but there are some who trouble you, and wish to pervert the gospel 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 if even we, or an angel from heaven, declare a gospel to you, different from what we have declared to you, let him be accursed.
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 said before, so now I say again, if any one declare a gospel to you, different from what you have received, let him be accursed.
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 do I now conciliate men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 Bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba malamu ete Sango Malamu oyo nateyaki bino ezalaki mbuma ya makanisi ya bomoto te.
Now I certify you, brethren, concerning the gospel which was declared by me, that it is not according to men.
12 Nazwaki yango na moto moko te, nayekolaki yango mpe te; kasi ezali Yesu-Klisto nde alakisaki ngai yango na nzela ya emoniseli.
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, except by the 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.
You have certainly heard of my behavior formerly in Judaism; that I exceedingly persecuted the congregation of God, and laid it waste;
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.
and made progress in Judaism above many of the same age with myself, in my own nation, being more exceedingly jealous of 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 separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his favor, 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 declare the good news concerning him to the Gentiles; immediately I did not consult 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.
neither did I go up to Jerusalem, to them who were Apostles before me; but I went away in Arabia, and again 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 become acquainted with Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 Natikalaki komona ntoma mosusu te, longola kaka Jake, ndeko ya Nkolo.
But I saw no other of the Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Nzambe azali Motatoli na ngai ete makambo oyo nazali kokomela bino ezali ya lokuta te.
Now as to the things which I write to you, behold, God is my witness that I do not falsely affirm.
21 Sima na yango, nakendeki na bituka ya Siri mpe ya Silisi.
After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 Kasi Baklisto ya Mangomba ya Yuda bayebaki ngai te,
and I was personally unknown to the congregations of Judea which are in Christ.
23 bayokaki kaka sango: « Moto oyo azalaki konyokola biso na kala akomi sik’oyo koteya kondima oyo azalaki koluka kobebisa. »
They had only heard that--he who formerly persecuted us, now announces, as glad tidings, the faith which he formerly destroyed.
24 Mpe bazalaki kokumisa Nzambe na tina na ngai.
And they glorified God on my account.
