Galatifoɔ 1
1 Me Paulo, ɔsomafoɔ a ɛnyɛ nnipa anaa onipa bi na ɔfrɛɛ me, na mmom ɛyɛ Yesu Kristo ne Agya Onyankopɔn a ɔnyanee no firii awufoɔ mu no.
Paul, an apostle, not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,
2 Me ne anuanom a wɔne me wɔ ha nyinaa, De krataa yi kɔma Galati asafo ahodoɔ no nyinaa:
and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.
3 Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛfiri yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo nka mo.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Yɛn bɔne enti, Kristo yɛɛ ɔsetie maa yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn. Ɔnam so de ne ho bɔɔ afɔdeɛ de gyee yɛn firii bɔne a yɛwɔ mu ɛnnɛ yi mu. (aiōn g165)
who gave Himself for our sins, in order that he might redeem us from the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom be glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Mo ho yɛ me nwanwa! Ɛnkyɛree koraa, morepa deɛ ɔnam Kristo adom so frɛɛ mo no akɔ asɛmpa foforɔ ho.
I am astonished that you are so quickly removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ into another gospel;
7 Nokorɛm, asɛmpa foforɔ biara nni baabi, nanso meka ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa bi wɔ hɔ a wɔredane mo adwene pɛ sɛ wɔsesa Kristo Asɛmpa no.
which is not another: but there are certain ones who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Na sɛ yɛn, anaa ɔbɔfoɔ firi ɔsoro bɛka asɛmpa a nsonsonoeɛ da ɛno ne yɛn Asɛmpa no ntam a, onii no bɛkɔ afɔbuo a ɛnni awieeɛ mu.
But indeed if we, or an angel from heaven, may preach unto you any other gospel except that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 Yɛaka dada na mereti mu bio sɛ: Obiara a ɔbɛka asɛmpa a ɛne Asɛmpa a moagye atom no bɔ abira no bɛkɔ afɔbuo a ɛnni awieeɛ mu.
As we have before said, and now again I tell you, If any one preaches to you a gospel except that which you have received, let him be accursed.
10 Deɛ nnipa pene so na mereyɛ yi anaa? Dabi! Mepɛ deɛ Onyankopɔn pene so! Anaa mereyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ nnipa ani? Sɛ megu so yɛ saa deɛ a, na menyɛ Kristo ɔsomfoɔ.
For must I now believe men, or God? whether do I seek to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I would not be the servant of Christ.
11 Anuanom, mepɛ sɛ mote aseɛ sɛ, Asɛmpa a meka kyerɛ mo no mfiri onipa hɔ.
But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel was preached to me, that it is not according to a man;
12 Me nsa anka amfiri onipa nkyɛn. Saa ara nso na ɛnyɛ onipa na ɔkyerɛɛ me. Ɛyɛ Kristo no ankasa na ɔdaa no adi kyerɛɛ me.
for I did not receive it from man, neither was I taught it, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Moate sɛ na mesɛe mʼadagyeɛ nyinaa wɔ Yudasom ho. Afei, moate nso sɛ na mede atirimuɔden taa Onyankopɔn akyidifoɔ, na mefaa ɛkwan biara a mɛtumi so pɛɛ sɛ metɔre wɔn ase.
For you have heard of my life formerly in Judaism, that I was persecuting the church of God exceedingly, and destroying it:
14 Mʼafɛfoɔ Yudafoɔ no deɛ, na mʼadwene mu abue wɔ Yudasom ho sene wɔn nyinaa. Na mekura yɛn nananom amanneɛ nso mu dendeenden.
and I was prominent in Judaism above many comrades in my race, being exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 Nanso, Onyankopɔn nam nʼadom so frɛɛ me ansa na wɔrewo me sɛ memmɛsom no. Na berɛ no soo
When the one having separated me, from the womb of my mother, and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 sɛ ɔbɛda ne Ba no adi akyerɛ me, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mɛka Asɛmpa a ɛfa ne ho akyerɛ amanamanmufoɔ no, mankɔ obiara nkyɛn amma wantu me fo;
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 saa ara nso na mankɔ Yerusalem mankɔhunu asomafoɔ a na wɔdi mʼanim ɛkan no. Mmom, mekɔɔ Arabia prɛko pɛ ɛnna mesane mʼakyi baa Damasko.
neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 Mfeɛ mmiɛnsa akyi na mekɔɔ Petro nkyɛn wɔ Yerusalem ne no kɔdii nkɔmmɔ. Medii ne nkyɛn dadu nnanum.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days;
19 Manhunu ɔsomafoɔ biara wɔ hɔ ka Awurade nua Yakobo ho.
but I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of the Lord.
20 Meka kyerɛ mo, Onyankopɔn anim sɛ deɛ meretwerɛ yi yɛ nokorɛ trodoo.
Which things moreover I write unto you, behold, before God, that I lie not.
21 Ɛno akyi, mebaa Siria ne Kilikia.
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Saa ɛberɛ no na Kristo asafo ahodoɔ a wɔwɔ Yudea no mu nnipa nnim me.
But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which are in Christ.
23 Nsɛm a na wɔaka afa me ho sɛ, “Afei deɛ, ɔbarima no a na ɔtaa yɛn no ka gyidie a na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe no no ho asɛm.”
But they were only hearing that The one persecuting us at one time is now preaching the faith which he was once desolating;
24 Na me enti, wɔhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam.
and they continued to glorify God in me.
