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 by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),
and all the brethren that are 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 be to you and peace from God the Father, and from 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 from the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory for ever 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 wonder that ye are so soon removed from him who called you by the grace of Christ to another gospel: which is not another;
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 be some that disturb you, and would subvert 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 tho' we or an angel from heaven should preach to you any other gospel than what we have 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.
I say it again, if any one preach to you any other gospel than what ye have 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.
For do I now persuade you to obey men or God? Or do I seek to please men? if I yet pleased men, I should not be the 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 assure you, brethren, that the gospel preached by me is not of human invention.
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 neither received it, nor was taught it by man, but by the 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 ye have heard of my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I outragiously persecuted the church of God, and laid it waste:
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.
and I made a proficiency in Judaism above many of the same age with me in my own nation, being excessively 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 pleased God, (who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by 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; immediately I conferred not 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 went I up to Jerusalem to those that were apostles before me, but I departed into Arabia, and afterwards 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 visit Peter, and I staid 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 I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of our 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 write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.)
21 Erile morago ga loeto lo ka ya kwa Siria le Kilikia.
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
22 Mme Bakeresete mo Judea ba ne ba santse ba sa itse sebopego sa me.
and was not known in person to the churches 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 only they had heard that he who persecuted us before, now preacheth the faith which he formerly would have destroyed.
24 Mme ba galaletsa Modimo ka ntlha ya me.
And they glorified God on my account.
