Bhagalatia 1
1 Nne a Pauli ntume, nangatumwa na bhandunji, ikabhe na a Yeshu Kilishitu na Atati a Nnungu, bhaayushiye a Yeshu bhakaweje,
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus (the) Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 na ashaalongo bhowe bhalinginji pamo na nne tunakunjumushilanga mmanganyanji bha makanisha ga ku Galatia.
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Tunakunnjujilanga nema na ulele kwa Atati a Nnungu na ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah,
4 A Yeshu bhashinkwiishoya bhayene, kwa ligongo lya ilebho yetu nkupinga bhatutapule na ya nyata ya nshilambolyo mututama muno, malinga shibhapinjile Ainabhetu bhetu a Nnungu. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ngunakunkanganigwanga, pabha shangupe nnakwalekanga bhene bhanshemilenje kwa mboka ya a Kilishitu, nitendebhushila ngani ja mmbone jina pe.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Messiah to a different gospel;
7 Numbe nngabha jipali ngani ja mmbone jina, ikabhe bhapali bhandunji bhakumpuganyanga nkupinga bhajipuganyanje Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Kilishitu.
and there is not another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the gospel of Messiah.
8 Ikabheje, nkali ibhaga jwa munkumbi gwetu eu malaika jwa kunnungu, shannungushiyanje ngani jojowe jikalandana na jene jitunnungushiyenje uwe, aloshwe na a Nnungu.
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 Malinga shitwammalanjilenje, tunabhujila kabhili nnaino, mundu jojowe akunnungushiyanga ngani jina jojowe jikalandana na jene jintupilikenenje uwe, aloshwe!
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 Bhai nnaino nguloleya kupingwa na bhandunji eu na a Nnungu? Eu ngupinga kwiikonjeleya ku bhandunji? Kaliji nneyo, nne nganabhe ntumishi jwa a Kilishitu.
For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Messiah.
11 Ashaalongo ajangunji pungupinga mmanyanje kuti, ngani jininnungushiyenje jangakopoka kubhandunji.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 Pabha nangaposhela wala kujiganywa naka mundu, ikabhe a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene ni bhang'ibhulile.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus (the) Messiah.
13 Na mwapilikenenje ngani jangu ga punaliji bhukala mundu jwa dini ja Shiyaudi, kuti natendaga shimwa na likanisha lya a Nnungu kwa kaje, kuishila pa pinga kwaamaliyanga.
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 Kwa nneyo njinkwiishimilika na dini ja Shiyaudi kwa kaje, kupunda ashaambwana ajangunji bhowe, nikagulila malajilo ga ashaambuje kwa kaje.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Ikabheje nne nganabhe bhelekwa, a Nnungu bhashinkung'agula kwa nema jabho kwa pinga kwabho.
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 Bhakatumbilileje kung'ibhulila ga Bhanabhabho, nkupinga naalungushiyanje bhandu bhangalinginji Bhayaudi ga ngani jabho. Kwa nneyo nangabhuya kuka mundu jojowe,
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 wala nangajomboka kwenda ku Yelushalemu kubhalinginji mitume bha ntai bhaagwilwenje nne nganabhe agulwa, ikabhe guniijendele ku Alabhia, kungai gumujile kabhili ku Dameshiki.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 Ikapiteje yaka itatu, gunyombweshe kwenda ku Yelushalemu kuumanyigana na a Kepa, gundemi kunngwabho mobha likumi limo na nng'ano.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Ikabheje nangammona ntume juna, ikabhe a Yakobho, apwabho Bhakulungwa bhetu.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Gene gungunjandishilanga gano a Nnungu bhagamanyi kuti nngabha ga unami.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Kungai gumbite ilambo ya ku Shilia na ku Kilikia.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Ikabheje gene mobhago nne ngamanyikanaga munkumbi gwa bhakilishitu bha ku Yudea.
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Messiah,
23 Ikabhe, pabha bhapilikenenje kuti, “Bhene bhandu bhatupotekaga bhukala, nnaino bhanalunguya ngulupai jila jibhalingaga kujibhulaga bhukala jila.”
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Gubhaalumbililenje a Nnungu, ga ligongo lyangu nne.
And they glorified God because of me.
