Bagalatia 1
1 Lokwalo lo lo tswa kwa go nna Paulo morongwa le Bakeresete ba bangwe fano botlhe. Ke kwalela: Diphuthego tsa Galatia. Ga ke a bilediwa go nna morongwa wa Modimo ke setlhopha sengwe kgotsa boemedi bongwe jwa lefatshe. Pitso ya me e tswa kwa go Jesu Keresete ka sebele, le kwa go Rara yo o mo tsositseng mo baswing.
Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
3 A kagiso le tshegofatso tse di tswang kwa go Modimo Rara le Morena Jesu Keresete di nne le lona.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 O swetse dibe tsa rona fela jaaka Modimo Rara wa rona a rulagantse, a bo a re falotsha mo lefatsheng leno le le bosula le re nnang mo go lone. (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age (aiōn g165), according to the will of our God and Father—
6 Ke a hakgamala fa lo akofa lo furalela Mo-dimo, o mo loratong le kutlwelo-botlhoko ya one o lo laleditseng go nna le seabe mo botshelong jo bosakhutleng jo o bo abang ka Keresete; lo setse lo sala “tsela e sele morago go ya legodimong,” e tota e sa yeng kwa legodimong gotlhelele.
I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
7 Gonne ga gona tsela epe e sele kwa ntle ga e re e lo kaetseng; lo tsiediwa ke ba ba sokamisang ebile ba fetola boammaaruri kaga Keresete.
but there is not another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 A diphutso tsa Modimo di wele le fa e le mang, le nna tota, yo o ka rerang ka tsela nngwe fela ya go bolokwa go na le e re lo boleletseng ka ga yone; ee, fa moengele a tswa legodimong a bo a rera molaetsa mongwe fela, a phutso ya Modimo e mo wele.
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 Ke ipoeletsa gape ke re: fa mongwe a rera Mafoko a a Molemo a sele kwa ntle ga a lo a amogetseng, a petso ya Modimo e mo wele.
As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 Lo ka bona gore ga ke leke go lo itumedisa ka puo e e monate le e e gapang maikutlo fela; nnyaa, ke leka go itumedisa Modimo. Fa ke ne ke santse ke leka go itumedisa batho ke ne ke ka seka ka nna motlhanka wa ga Keresete.
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Ditsala tse di rategang, ke ikana ka tlhwaafalo ka re tsela e e yang legodimong e ke e rerang, ga e a thaega mo mogopolonyaneng kgotsa mo torong ya motho.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12 Gonne molaetsa wa me ga o tswe mo go ope fa e se Jesu Keresete a le esi, yo o mpoleletseng gore ke bue eng. Ga go na motho ope yo o nthutileng.
For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Lo itse gore ke ne ke ntse jang fa ke santse ke setse tumelo ya Sejuta morago, le ka fa ke neng ke le pelo-mpe ka teng mo Bakereseteng, ke ba tsoma ebile ke leka ka bojotlhe jwa me go ba bolaya botlhe.
For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
14 Ke ne ke le mongwe wa bagolwane ba tumelo ya Sejuta mo mophatong wa balekane ba me ba malatsi ao mo lefatsheng ka fa ke neng ke ka kgona ka teng go sala morago melao yotlhe e megologolo ya ngwao ya tumelo ya me.
I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Mme sengwe sa diragala! Gonne le pele ga ke tsalwa Modimo o ne o intlhophetse, wa ba wa mpitsa: ana ke tshiamo le tshegofatso e ntle thatajang,
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
16 go senola Morwa one mo go nna gore ke tle ke ye kwa go Badichaba ke ba bontshe Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Jesu. Erile fa mo gotlhe go ntiragalela ga ke ise ke re gone fela foo ke ye go go rerisanya le ope;
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 ga ke ise ke ko ke tlhatlogele kwa Jerusalema go rerisanya le ba e neng e le baaposetoloi pele ga me. Nnyaa, ke ne ka ya kwa dikakeng tsa Arabia, ka bo ka boela kwa motsing wa Damaseko.
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 Erile dingwaga di le tharo di sena go feta ka ya kwa Jerusalema ke le mo loetong ke etela Petoro, mme ka nna koo le ene malatsi a le lesome le botlhano.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Mme moaposetoloi yo mongwe yo ke neng ka rakana nae ka lobaka loo e ne e le Jakobe monnawe Morena wa rona.
But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 (Reetsang se ke se buang, gonne ke lo bolelela boammaaruri jo fa pele ga Modimo tota. Se ke se se neng sa diragala tota ga ke lo aketse).
Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.
21 Erile morago ga loeto lo ka ya kwa Siria le Kilikia.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Mme Bakeresete mo Judea ba ne ba santse ba sa itse sebopego sa me.
I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
23 Se ba neng ba se itse fela e ne e le puo ya batho e e reng, “Yo o neng a le mmaba wa rona, jaanong o rera tumelo e a neng a leka go e nyeletsa.”
but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
24 Mme ba galaletsa Modimo ka ntlha ya me.
So they glorified God in me.
