Bagalatiya 1
1 Njame Paulo mutumwa, ndiya kusalwa ne bantu nambi kupitila mu muntu sobwe, nsombi ndalasalwa ne Yesu Klistu, kayi ne Lesa Bata balamupundusha kubafu.
Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2 Ame pamo ne baname abo bali pamo nenjame, tulamupanga mitende mibungano ya mucibela ca Galatiya.
and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
3 Kwina moyo ne lumuno lwa Lesa Bata ne Mwami Yesu Klistu lube nenjamwe.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Yesu walaliyaba pacebo cakwambeti atulubule ku bwipishi bwetu, kayi walatupulusha kufuma kubuyumi bwaipa bwacino cindi. Walensa bintu mbyalikuyanda Lesa Ishetu. (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 Ndakankamananga pakuboneti mulapatukunga kufuma kuli Lesa walamukuwa kwelana ne kwina moyo kwa Klistu, mulatatiki kukonka mulumbe naumbi,
I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
7 mulumbe ngomulakonkelenga nte mulumbe waina sobwe. Nsombi kuli bantu nabambi balayandanga kumufulunganya pakusandula Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Klistu.
but there is not another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Nomba uliyense, nambi njafwe nambi mungelo lafumu kwilu wisakumukambaukila Mulumbe Waina wapusana ne ngotwalamukambaukila, uyo ashinganwe.
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 Mbuli ncotwalambapo kendi kayi ndabweshengaponga kwambeti muntu uliyense weshi akamukambaukile mulumbe wapusana ne Mulumbe Waina ngotwalamwambila, uyo abe washinganwa.
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 Sena pakwamba bintu ibi ndayandangeti bantu bansuminishe? Sobwe, nsombi kwambeti Lesa ansuminishe. Sena ndayandanga kwambeti nkondweleshe bantu? Nendalikuyanda kukondwelesha bantu, nendalabula kuba musebenshi wa Klistu.
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 Mobanse, kamuleka ndimwambile, Mulumbe Waina uyo ngonkute kukambauka nkaukute kufuma kubantu sobwe.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12 Nkandalautambula kufuma kubantu sobwe, kayi kuliya muntu walanjiyisha, nsombi ni Yesu Klistu mwine ewalanjubulwila Mulumbe uwu.
For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Mwalanyumfwa bwikalo bwakame bwakaindi mpondalikuba mumpaililo ya Ciyuda. Ndalikuba muntu walikupensha mubungano wa Lesa kwakubula inkumbo, kayi ndalikuyandishisha kuwonongelalimo.
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 Ndalikupita baname bangi balikuba bamushimba wakame pakwinsa bintu bya mpaililo ya Ciyuda, kayi ndalikuba walibenga pakukonka miyambo ya bashali betu.
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 Nsombi Lesa walampatula kantana nsemwa, kayi mukwina moyo kwakendi walankuweti ndimusebensele. Lino mpwalayanda
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
16 kundesha Mwanendi kwambeti njenga akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha endiye kubantu bamishobo naimbi, ndiya kuyapo kumuntu naumbi kwambeti ampeko mano.
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 Kayi nkandalayapo ku Yelusalemu kuya kubona balatanguna kuba batumwa kantana mba umo wa endibo. Nsombi ndalaya ku Alabiya kayi ne kubwelela ku Damasiko.
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 Mpopalapita byaka bitatu ndalaya ku Yelusalemu akunyumfwa makani kuli Petulo, ndalekalako masuba akwana likumi ne asanu.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Nkandalabonapo mutumwa naumbi, nsombi enkowa Jemusi mukwabo Mwami.
But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Ncondalembenga nicakubinga, kayi neye Lesa ucinshi kwambeti nkandabepenga sobwe.
Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.
21 Kufumapo ndalaya ku cibela ca ku Siliya ne ku Kilikiya.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Pacindi ico bantu ba mumibungano ya ku Yudeya nkabalikunjishiba ame sobwe.
I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
23 Balikunyufwowa mbyobali kwamba bantu eti, “Usa muntu walikutupensha lakambaukunga lushomo ndwalelesha kushina!”
but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
24 Neco balalumbaisha Lesa pacebo ca njame.
So they glorified God in me.
