Galatifo 1
1 Paulo, ɔsomafo a ɛnyɛ nnipa anaa onipa bi na ɔpaw me sɛ ɔsomafo, na mmom ɛyɛ Yesu Kristo ne Agya Nyankopɔn a onyan no fii awufo mu no,
Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among the dead--
2 ne anuanom a wɔne me wɔ ha nyinaa, De krataa yi kɔma Galati asafo ahorow no nyinaa:
and all the brethren who are with me: To the Churches of Galatia.
3 Adom ne asomdwoe a efi yɛn Agya Nyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo nka mo.
May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Yɛn bɔne nti, Kristo yɛɛ osetie maa yɛn Agya Nyankopɔn. Ɔnam so de ne ho bɔɔ afɔre gyee yɛn fii bɔne a yɛwɔ mu nnɛ yi mu. (aiōn g165)
who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father. (aiōn g165)
To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Mo ho yɛ me nwonwa sɛ mopɛ ntɛm po nea ɔfrɛɛ mo se montena Kristo adom mu no, kodi asɛmpa foforo
I marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.
7 a ɛnyɛ nokware asɛmpa koraa bi no akyi. Ɛda adi sɛ nnipa bi wɔ hɔ a wɔredan mo adwene pɛ sɛ wosiw Kristo Asɛmpa no ho kwan.
For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.
8 Na sɛ yɛn, anaa ɔbɔfo fi ɔsoro bɛka asɛmpa a nsonoe da ɛno ne yɛn Asɛmpa no ntam a, onii no bɛkɔ afɔbu a enni awiei mu.
But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.
9 Yɛaka dedaw na mereti mu sɛ: Obiara a ɔbɛka asɛmpa a ɛne Asɛmpa a moagye ato mu no bɔ abira no bɛkɔ afɔbu a enni awiei mu.
What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.
10 Nea nnipa pene so na mereyɛ yi ana? Dabi! Mepɛ nea Onyankopɔn pene so! Anaa mereyɛ nea ɛsɔ nnipa ani? Sɛ migu so yɛ saa de a, na menyɛ Kristo somfo.
For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.
11 Anuanom, mepɛ sɛ mote ase sɛ Asɛmpa a meka kyerɛ mo no mfi onipa hɔ.
For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.
12 Me nsa anka amfi onipa nkyɛn. Saa ara nso na ɛnyɛ onipa na ɔkyerɛɛ me. Ɛyɛ Kristo no ankasa na ɔdaa no adi kyerɛɛ me.
For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from Jesus Christ.
13 Moate sɛ na mesɛe mʼadagyew nyinaa wɔ Yudasom ho. Afei moate nso sɛ na mede atirimɔden taa Onyankopɔn akyidifo, na mefaa ɔkwan biara a metumi so pɛɛ sɛ metɔre wɔn ase.
For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;
14 Me mfɛfo Yudafo no de, na mʼadwene mu abue wɔ Yudasom ho sen wɔn nyinaa. Na mikura yɛn nananom amanne nso mu denneennen.
and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.
15 Nanso Onyankopɔn nam nʼadom so frɛɛ me ansa na wɔrewo me sɛ memmɛsom no. Na bere no soo
But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,
16 sɛ ɔbɛda ne Ba no adi akyerɛ me, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mɛka Asɛmpa a ɛfa ne ho akyerɛ amanamanmufo no, mankɔ obiara nkyɛn amma wantu me fo;
saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,
17 saa ara nso na mankɔ Yerusalem ankohu asomafo a na wodi mʼanim kan no. Mmom, mekɔɔ Arabia prɛko pɛ na mesan baa Damasko.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.
18 Mfe abiɛsa akyi na mekɔɔ Petro nkyɛn wɔ Yerusalem ne no kodii nkɔmmɔ. Midii ne nkyɛn nna dunum.
Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.
19 Manhu ɔsomafo biara wɔ hɔ ka Awurade nua Yakobo ho.
I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Meka kyerɛ mo wɔ Onyankopɔn anim se nea merekyerɛw yi yɛ nokware turodoo.
In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.
21 Ɛno akyi no, mebaa Siria ne Kilikia.
Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.
22 Saa bere no na Kristo asafo ahorow a wɔwɔ Yudea no mu nnipa nnim me.
But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.
23 Nsɛm a na wɔaka afa me ho sɛ, “Afei de, ɔbarima no a na ɔtaa yɛn no ka gyidi a na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe no no ho asɛm.”
They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."
24 Na me nti, wɔhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn anuonyam.
And they gave glory to God on my account.
