< 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, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
2 naho o longo amako atoa iabio, Ho amo Fivory e Galate añeo:
And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Hasoa naho Fañanintsiñe boak’ aman’ Añahare Rae naho i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey,
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] 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 )
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn )
5 ama’e abey ty engeñe nainai’e donia. Amena (aiōn )
To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
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 marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel:
7 tsy t’ie aman’ ila’e, fe ao ty mitsibore anahareo hañamengoke ty talili-soa’ i Norizañey
Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel 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 though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
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 said before, so I say now again, If any [man] preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
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.
For do I now persuade 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 Hampahafohineko anahareo ry longo, te tsy nifototse am’ondaty i talili-soa itaroñakoy.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 Tsy rinambeko ama’ ondaty, naho tsy nanarañ’ ahiko, fa amy namentabentara’ Iesoà Norizañey ahiy.
For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Toe jinanji’areo i fanoeko taolo amo Tehodaoy, te loho nampisoañeko i Fivorin’ Añaharey, naho nimaneako rotsake,
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it;
14 vaho nionjoñe amy fitalahoa’ o Jiosioy mandikoatse o longoko maro mpirai-nono amakoo, ie nilozoheko o lilin-droaekoo.
And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 Aa kanao ninòn’ Añahare nañambak’ ahy boak’ an-tron-dreneko ao, le nikanjie’e ty amy hasoa’ey,
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by 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 reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with 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.
Neither did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again 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 to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 Le tsy nahatrea Firàheñe ila’e iraho naho tsy Iakobe, zai’ i Talè avao.
But I saw no other of the apostles, save James the Lord's brother.
20 (Aa ty amo sokireko ama’ areoo, le ifantàko añatrefan’ Añahare te tsy mandañitse.)
Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Ie añe, le nimb’am-paripari’ i Sirià naho i Kilkia mb’eo;
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 ie mb’e namoea’ o Fivory amy Norizañey e Iehodào ty tareheko.
And was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ:
23 Toe jinanji’ iereo avao te, i nampisoañe antika taoloy ro mone mitsey i fatokisañe nimanea’e rotsake heikey.
But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 Le nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare ty amako.
And they glorified God in me.
