Men Kalejia 1
1 PAULUJ wanporon amen kaidin jan ren aramaj akan, pil kaidin pan aramaj akan, a pan Iejuj Krijtuj o Kot Jam, me kotin kaiajadar i jan ren me melar akan,
Paul, an apostle—not an apostle from men nor by human agency, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2 O ri atail akan karoj, me mi re i, at ranamau on momodijou en Kalejia kan:
and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Mak o popol jan ren Kot Jam o atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj en mi re omail;
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Me kotin jokonpaude ki pein i ki dip atail, pwen dore kitail jan ni me jued akan mi jappa, duen kupur en Kot o Jam atail. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins so that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I puriamuiki omail madan wuki jan i, me molipe komail pan mak en Krijtuj, ap wuki on eu ronamau;
I am amazed that you are turning away so quickly from him who called you by the grace of Christ. I am amazed that you are turning to a different gospel.
7 A jota eu mia. Ari jo, akai mia, me kin kapinada komail, o irail men kalikame ronamau en Krijtuj.
This is not to say that there is another gospel, but there are some men who cause you trouble and want to change the gospel of Christ.
8 A ma kit de tounlan amen jan nanlan pan padaki on komail eu ronmau, me toror jan ronamau, me je padaki on komail er, i en riala.
But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel other than the one we proclaimed to you, let him be cursed.
9 Duen me je indada maj o, iduen je pil puron inda: Ma amen pan padaki on komail eu ronamau, me toror jan me komail aleer, i en riala.
As we have said before, so now I say again, “If someone proclaims to you a gospel other than the one you received, let him be cursed.”
10 Iaduen, i kin men kaperenda aramaj akan de Kot? De i kin rapaki konekon ren aramaj akan? Ma i men konekon ren aramaj akan, i ap jota ladun Krijtuj.
For am I now seeking the approval of men or God? Am I seeking to please men? If I am still trying to please men, I am not a servant of Christ.
11 I katitiki on komail ri ai kan, ronamau me i padakier, a jota tapi jan ren aramaj.
For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I proclaimed is not man's gospel.
12 Pwe i jota ale jan ren aramaj amen, o jota me padaki on ia, a a koki don ia kajale pan Iejuj Krijtuj.
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it. Instead, it was by revelation of Jesus Christ to me.
13 Pwe komail roner duen ai wiawia en maj nan pun en men Juj akan, duen i kin morouo on momodijou en Kot lapalapia o kawe ir ala.
You have heard about my former life in Judaism, how I was persecuting the church of God beyond measure and that I was trying to destroy it.
14 O i kakairida nin lamalam en Juj akan madan jan me toto, me kit ti ta ieu o toun jap ta ieu, o i nantion kapwaiada padok en jam at akan.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of those who were my own age, from out of my own people. That is how extremely zealous I was for the traditions of my fathers.
15 A Kot lao kupureda, me kotin kilele ia di jan ni kaped en in ai, o me kotin molipe ia ki a mak,
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb, and who called me through his grace,
16 En kajale on ia japwilim a Ol, pwe i en padaki on men liki kan duen i, i ap pitipit wiada o jota kalelapok ren uduk o nta.
was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I would proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood.
17 O i pil jo pwar lan Ierujalem ren irail, me wanporon akan mo i, a i kolan Arapien ap pil pure don Damajkuj.
I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me. Instead, I went to Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
18 Ari, murin par jilu i ap kodalan Ierujalem, pwen kilan Kepaj. I ap mimieta re a ran eijoklimau.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to get to know Cephas and I stayed with him fifteen days.
19 A jota amen ren wanporon akan, me i kilan, Iakopuj ta, ri en Kaun o.
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
20 A me i intin won komail, Kot me kotin mani, me i jota likam.
In what I write to you, I assure you before God, that I am not lying.
21 Muri i ap kola nan wein Jirien o Jilijia.
Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 A momodijou en Iudaa kan me mi pan kupta en Krijtuj jaja ia.
I was still not personally known to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23 A i eta, irail roner, me i me kin morouo on kit maj o, i me kin padaki pojon anjau wet, me a kin kaokaoe maj o.
They only heard it being said, “The man who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24 Irail ap kalinanda Kot pweki nai.
So they glorified God because of me.
