Galaatiyaa 1
1 Phaawulos ergamticha isa utuu namoota biraa yookaan namaan hin taʼin garuu Yesuus Kiristoosii fi Waaqa Abbaa isa Yesuusin warra duʼan keessaa kaaseen ergamee fi
This letter comes from Paul, an apostle not appointed by any human organization or human authority. Quite the contrary: I was appointed by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Jesus from the dead.
2 obboloota na wajjin jiran hundumaa irraa, Gara Waldoota Kiristaanaa Galaatiyaatti:
All the brothers and sisters here with me join in sending this letter to the churches in Galatia.
3 Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu;
May the grace and peace of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
4 inni akka fedhii Abbaa keenyaa fi Waaqa keenyaatti bara hamaa kana jalaa nu oolchuuf jedhee cubbuu keenyaaf of kenne; (aiōn g165)
Jesus gave himself for our sins to set us free from this current world of evil, following the will of our God and Father. (aiōn g165)
To him be glory forever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Akkana ariifattanii isa karaa ayyaana Kiristoosiin isin waame sana dhiisuudhaan wangeela biraa duukaa buʼuun keessan baayʼee na dinqeera;
I'm shocked at how quickly you're abandoning the God who by the grace of Christ called you. You are turning to a different kind of good news
7 wangeelli biraa illee hin jiru. Garuu namoonni isin dogoggorsanii wangeela Kiristoos jalʼisuu yaalan tokko tokko jiru.
that isn't good news at all! Some people there are confusing you, wanting to pervert the good news of Christ.
8 Nus taanaan yookaan yoo ergamaan Waaqaa samii irraa dhufe tokko wangeela nu kanaan dura isinitti lallabne sana irraa adda taʼe isinitti lallabe, inni bara baraan haa abaaramu!
But if anyone, even we ourselves, or even an angel from heaven, should promote any other kind of good news than what we have already told you, let them be condemned!
9 Akkuma nu kanaan dura jenne ani ammas irra deebiʼee nan dubbadha; yoo eenyu iyyuu wangeela isin kanaan dura fudhattan sana irraa adda taʼe isinitti lallabe inni abaaramaa haa taʼu!
I repeat what we've told you before: if anyone promotes any other kind of good news than what you've already accepted, let them be condemned!
10 Ani amma nama biratti moo Waaqa biratti fudhatama argachuu yaalaan jira? Yookaan nama gammachiisuu nan yaalaa? Ani utuun hamma ammaatti nama gammachiisuu yaalee silaa tajaajilaa Kiristoos hin taʼu ture.
Whose approval do you think I want—that of people, or of God? Do you think I'm trying to please people? If I wanted to please people I wouldn't be a servant of Christ!
11 Yaa obboloota, wangeelli ani lallabe sun nama irraa akka hin dhufin isin akka beektan nan barbaada.
Let me make it clear, my friends, regarding the good news I'm declaring—it did not come from any human being.
12 Ani wangeelicha mulʼataan Yesuus Kiristoos irraa fudhadhe malee nama tokko irraa illee hin fudhanne; yookaan namni na hin barsiifne.
I didn't receive it from anyone, and nobody taught it to me—it was Jesus Christ who revealed it to me.
13 Akka ani yeroon amantii Yihuudootaa duukaa buʼaa turetti waldaa kiristaanaa Waaqaa akka malee ariʼachaa fi balleessuufis yaalaa ture dhageessaniirtu.
You heard how I behaved as a follower of the Jewish religion—how I fanatically persecuted God's church, savagely trying to destroy it.
14 Ani amantii Yihuudootaatiin warra saba koo keessaa hiriyoota koo taʼan baayʼee nan caala ture; duudhaa abbootii kootiifis akka malee nan hinaafa ture.
I surpassed my contemporaries in the practice of the Jewish religion because I was so fervently devoted to the traditions of my ancestors.
15 Garuu yommuu Waaqni gadameessa haadha kootii jalqabee na filatee fi ayyaana isaatiin na waame sun,
But when God (who had set me apart from birth) called me through his grace, and was pleased
16 akka ani Namoota Ormaa gidduutti waaʼee Ilma isaa lallabuuf isa natti mulʼisuu jaallatetti ani nama tokkoon iyyuu hin mariʼanne.
to reveal his Son to me so that I could announce the good news to the nations, I didn't discuss this with anyone.
17 Ani warra anaan dura ergamoota turan arguuf Yerusaalemitti ol hin baane; garuu yeruma sana biyya Arabaan dhaqe. Ergasiis Damaasqoottin deebiʼe.
I didn't go to Jerusalem to talk to those who preceded me as apostles; instead I left for Arabia, and then later returned to Damascus.
18 Ergasiis anis waggaa sadii booddee Keefaan wal baruuf jedhee Yerusaalemitti ol baʼe; guyyaa kudha shanis isa biran ture.
After three years I went to Jerusalem to visit Peter. I stayed with him for two weeks.
19 Ani garuu Yaaqoob obboleessa Gooftaa malee ergamoota kaan keessaa tokko illee hin argine.
I didn't see any other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Wanti ani isinii barreessu akka soba hin taʼin kunoo fuula Waaqaa duratti isiniifin mirkaneessa.
(Let me assure you before God that I'm not lying about what I'm writing to you!)
21 Ergasiis ani gara Sooriyaa fi biyya Kiilqiyaan dhaqe.
Then I went to Syria and Cilicia.
22 Waldoonni Kiristaanaa Yihuudaa kanneen Kiristoositti jiranis fuula koo arganii hin beekan.
Even so, my face wasn't known to those in the churches of Judea.
23 Isaanis oduu, “Namichi duraan nu ariʼachaa ture sun amma immoo amantiidhuma dur balleessuuf yaalaa ture sana lallabaa jira” jedhu qofa dhagaʼan.
They had only heard people say, “The man who used to persecute us is now spreading the faith he once tried to destroy!”
24 Isaanis sababii kootiif Waaqaaf ulfina kennan.
—and they praised God because of me.
