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—appointed not by men nor through man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
and all the brothers with me, to the churches 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 to deliver us from the 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 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 am astonished that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel,
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.
not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and wish to pervert the gospel 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 if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed!
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 now I say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!
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.
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please 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, that the gospel I preached did not originate with 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 I received it by a 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 former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy 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 was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, being far more 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 God, who set me apart before I was born and called me by his grace, was pleased
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 so that I could preach good news about 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 to Arabia and returned again 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 become acquainted with Peter, and I stayed with him for 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 I saw none of the other apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
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 in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
21 Erile morago ga loeto lo ka ya kwa Siria le Kilikia.
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Mme Bakeresete mo Judea ba ne ba santse ba sa itse sebopego sa me.
But I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are 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.”
They were only hearing people say, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24 Mme ba galaletsa Modimo ka ntlha ya me.
So they were glorifying God because of me.
