Abaggalatiya 1
1 Nze Pawulo omutume, ataatumibwa bantu wadde omuntu, wabula eyatumibwa Yesu Kristo ne Katonda Kitaffe, eyamuzuukiza mu bafu,
Paul, an Apostle, not from men and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,
2 awamu n’abooluganda bonna abali nange tuwandiikira ekkanisa ez’e Ggalatiya,
and all the brothers who are with me: to the churches of Galatia.
3 nga tugamba nti ekisa n’emirembe ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe n’eri Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo bibeerenga nammwe;
Grace and peace to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Kristo oyo eyeewaayo ku lw’ebibi byaffe, alyoke atununule mu mulembe guno omubi ng’okwagala kwa Katonda, era Kitaffe bwe kuli, (aiōn g165)
who gave himself on behalf of our sins, so that he might deliver us from this present wicked age, according to the will of God our Father. (aiōn g165)
To him is glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Naye mbeewuunya kubanga mukyuka mangu okuva ku oyo, eyabayita olw’ekisa kya Kristo, naye ne mukyuka mangu okugoberera Enjiri endala.
I wonder that you have been so quickly transferred, from him who called you into the grace of Christ, over to another gospel.
7 Kubanga tewali njiri ndala, wabula mwawubisibwa abaagala okunyoola n’okukyusa Enjiri ya Kristo.
For there is no other, except that there are some persons who disturb you and who want to overturn the Gospel of Christ.
8 Omuntu yenna, ne bwe tuba ffe, wadde malayika ava mu ggulu, bw’abuuliranga Enjiri okuggyako gye twababuulira, akolimirwenga.
But if anyone, even we ourselves or an Angel from Heaven, were to preach to you a gospel other than the one that we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
9 Nga bwe twasooka okwogera, bwe ntyo nziramu okukyogera nti, omuntu yenna bw’ababuulira Enjiri eteri eyo ggye mwakkiriza akolimirwenga.
Just as we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone has preached a gospel to you, other than that which you have received, let him be anathema.
10 Kale kaakano nkolerera kumatiza bantu oba kusiimibwa Katonda? Oba ngezaako kusanyusa bantu? Singa nnali nkyagezaako okusanyusa abantu, sandibadde muddu wa Kristo.
For am I now persuading men, or God? Or, am I seeking to please men? If I still were pleasing men, then I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Kubanga abooluganda, mbategeeza nti, Enjiri gye nababuulira teyeesigamizibwa ku muntu,
For I would have you understand, brothers, that the Gospel which has been preached by me is not according to man.
12 era nange saagiweebwa muntu wadde okusomesebwa omuntu wabula Yesu Kristo ye yagimbikkulira.
And I did not receive it from man, nor did I learn it, except through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Mumanyi nga bwe nnali nfaanana nga nkyagoberera eddiini y’Ekiyudaaya, nga bwe nayigganyanga ennyo Ekkanisa ya Katonda okugizikiza,
For you have heard of my former behavior within Judaism: that, beyond measure, I persecuted the Church of God and fought against Her.
14 era nga nnali omu ku bannaddiini abaakulaakulana mu ggwanga lyange, ne nsukkuluma ku Bayudaaya bannange be nakula nabo, era nagezaako nnyo nga bwe nasobola okugoberera empisa zonna ez’edda ez’amateeka g’eddiini yange.
And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my equals among my own kind, having proven to be more abundant in zeal toward the traditions of my fathers.
15 Naye Katonda bwe yasiima, eyanjawula okuva mu lubuto lwa mmange, n’ampita olw’ekisa kye,
But, when it pleased him who, from my mother’s womb, had set me apart, and who has called me by his grace,
16 n’ambikkulira Omwana we ndyoke ŋŋende eri Abaamawanga mbabuulire Enjiri era sseebuuza ku muntu n’omu,
to reveal his Son within me, so that I might evangelize him among the Gentiles, I did not next seek the consent of flesh and blood.
17 newaakubadde okwambuka e Yerusaalemi okwebuuza ku batume, naye nagenda mu Buwalabu era oluvannyuma ne nkomawo e Damasiko.
Neither did I go to Jerusalem, to those who were Apostles before me. Instead, I went into Arabia, and next I returned to Damascus.
18 Awo bwe waayitawo emyaka esatu ne ŋŋenda e Yerusaalemi okulaba Keefa ne mmala naye ennaku kkumi na ttaano.
And then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter; and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
19 Naye ssaalaba mutume mulala wabula Yakobo muganda wa Mukama waffe.
But I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the brother of the Lord.
20 Noolwekyo bye mbawandiikira, si bya bulimba mu maaso ga Katonda.
Now what I am writing to you: behold, before God, I am not lying.
21 Bwe navaayo ne ndaga mu bitundu eby’e Siriya n’eby’e Kirukiya.
Next, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Era ekkanisa za Kristo mu Buyudaaya zaali tezinnategeera bwe nfaanana.
But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ.
23 Naye nga bamanyi nti, “Eyatuyigganyanga, kaakano abuulira okukkiriza kwe yagezaako okuzikiriza.”
For they had only heard that: “He, who formerly persecuted us, now evangelizes the faith which he once fought.”
24 Era ne bagulumiza Katonda ku lwange.
And they glorified God in me.
