Galatiana 1
1 I Paoly, Firàheñe, (tsy nirahe’ ondatio, ndra t’indaty, fa Iesoà Norizañey naho i Andrianañahare Rae nampitroatse aze an-kavilasy)
Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),
2 naho o longo amako atoa iabio, Ho amo Fivory e Galate añeo:
And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Hasoa naho Fañanintsiñe boak’ aman’ Añahare Rae naho i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 ie nanolo-piaiñe ty amo hakeon-tikañeo, handrombake antika ami’ty sa raty henaneo, ty amy satrin’ Añahare Raen-tikañe; (aiōn g165)
Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)
6 Mahalatsa ahy te nifarie’ areo aniany i nikanjy anahareo mb’amy hasoa’ i Norizañeiy, hitolik’ amy ze o talili-soa ila’e zao,
I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;
7 tsy t’ie aman’ ila’e, fe ao ty mitsibore anahareo hañamengoke ty talili-soa’ i Norizañey
Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.
8 Aa ndra te zahay, ndra te anjely hirik’ andindìñe añe ty mitaroñe ama’ areo ty talily ila’ te amy nitaroñe’aiy, le sira naho molale.
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.
9 Hambañe amy fivola’ay teoy, le indraeko henaneo, ndra ia t’indaty minday talili-soa ama’ areo mandietse i rinambe’ areoy, le fatra an-tane.
As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.
10 Mipay fañisohañe am’ondatio hao iraho henaneo he aman’ Añahare? Ke mipay hahafale ondaty? F’ie te ho nanitra ondaty, le tsy ho ni-fetrek’oro’ i Norizañey.
Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Hampahafohineko anahareo ry longo, te tsy nifototse am’ondaty i talili-soa itaroñakoy.
Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.
12 Tsy rinambeko ama’ ondaty, naho tsy nanarañ’ ahiko, fa amy namentabentara’ Iesoà Norizañey ahiy.
For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Toe jinanji’areo i fanoeko taolo amo Tehodaoy, te loho nampisoañeko i Fivorin’ Añaharey, naho nimaneako rotsake,
For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:
14 vaho nionjoñe amy fitalahoa’ o Jiosioy mandikoatse o longoko maro mpirai-nono amakoo, ie nilozoheko o lilin-droaekoo.
And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.
15 Aa kanao ninòn’ Añahare nañambak’ ahy boak’ an-tron-dreneko ao, le nikanjie’e ty amy hasoa’ey,
But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,
16 hampalangese’e amako i ana’ey, hitaroñako aze amo kilakila’ ondatio; ie henane zay tsy niharoako safiry ty nofotse aman-dio
To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,
17 naho tsy nionjomb’e Ierosaleme mb’ amo Firàheñe taolokoo mb’eo f’ie nifokofoko mb’ Arabia añe; vaho nimpoly mb’e Damaskose ao.
And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.
18 Ie niritse ty telo taoñe le nionjomb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo hifandrèndreke amy Kefasy, vaho nitoboke ama’e ao folo andro lim’ amby.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.
19 Le tsy nahatrea Firàheñe ila’e iraho naho tsy Iakobe, zai’ i Talè avao.
But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.
20 (Aa ty amo sokireko ama’ areoo, le ifantàko añatrefan’ Añahare te tsy mandañitse.)
Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.
21 Ie añe, le nimb’am-paripari’ i Sirià naho i Kilkia mb’eo;
Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 ie mb’e namoea’ o Fivory amy Norizañey e Iehodào ty tareheko.
And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:
23 Toe jinanji’ iereo avao te, i nampisoañe antika taoloy ro mone mitsey i fatokisañe nimanea’e rotsake heikey.
Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;
24 Le nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare ty amako.
And they gave glory to God in me.
