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 sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among 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 Churches of Galatia.
3 Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
May grace and peace be granted to you 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 to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father. (aiōn g165)
To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! 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 marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering 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.
For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning 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 should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought 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!
What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally 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 is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.
11 Bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba malamu ete Sango Malamu oyo nateyaki bino ezalaki mbuma ya makanisi ya bomoto te.
For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.
12 Nazwaki yango na moto moko te, nayekolaki yango mpe te; kasi ezali Yesu-Klisto nde alakisaki ngai yango na nzela ya emoniseli.
For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from 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 early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of 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.
and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.
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 He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,
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.
saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,
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 my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back 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, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.
19 Natikalaki komona ntoma mosusu te, longola kaka Jake, ndeko ya Nkolo.
I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Nzambe azali Motatoli na ngai ete makambo oyo nazali kokomela bino ezali ya lokuta te.
In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.
21 Sima na yango, nakendeki na bituka ya Siri mpe ya Silisi.
Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.
22 Kasi Baklisto ya Mangomba ya Yuda bayebaki ngai te,
But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.
23 bayokaki kaka sango: « Moto oyo azalaki konyokola biso na kala akomi sik’oyo koteya kondima oyo azalaki koluka kobebisa. »
They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."
24 Mpe bazalaki kokumisa Nzambe na tina na ngai.
And they gave glory to God on my account.
