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—appointed not by men nor through 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 brothers 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 the Father and 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 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 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 turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different 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.
not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling 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 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 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 now I say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you 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.
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 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, that the gospel I preached did not originate with man.
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 did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it by a 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 persecuted the church of God beyond measure 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 was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, being far more 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 set me apart before I was born and called me by 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 in me so that I could preach good news about him among the Gentiles, 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 to Arabia and returned again 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 I stayed with him for fifteen days.
19 Natikalaki komona ntoma mosusu te, longola kaka Jake, ndeko ya Nkolo.
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
20 Nzambe azali Motatoli na ngai ete makambo oyo nazali kokomela bino ezali ya lokuta te.
(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
21 Sima na yango, nakendeki na bituka ya Siri mpe ya Silisi.
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Kasi Baklisto ya Mangomba ya Yuda bayebaki ngai te,
But I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23 bayokaki kaka sango: « Moto oyo azalaki konyokola biso na kala akomi sik’oyo koteya kondima oyo azalaki koluka kobebisa. »
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 Mpe bazalaki kokumisa Nzambe na tina na ngai.
So they were glorifying God because of me.
