< Vagalatia 1 >
1 une ne nsung'ua Paulo. une nanilinsung'ua kuhuma kuvaanhu nambe kukilila kuvaanhu, neke kukilila kwa Yesu kilisite nu Nguluve Nhaata juno alyansyuluile kuhuma kuvafue.
Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2 une palikimo na vanyalukolo tukusilembela itembile sooni sa Vagalatia.
and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
3 uvumosi nu lutengano kuhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu nu Mutwa Yesu Kilisite fivisaghe numue.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 jino akihumisie vwimila isambi situ neke kuuti atupoke mu fighono ifi fya vuhosi, kuhumilanila nu lughano lwa Nguluve ghwitu nu Nhaata. (aiōn )
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn )
5 kwa mwene vuve vwimike vuno navuli kusila na kusila (aiōn )
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
6 nidegha kuuti musyetukila ng'aning'ani mu livangili ilingi, nidegha kuuti musyetukile kutali kuhuma kwa juno alyavakemhelile ku vumosi vwa Kilisite.
I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
7 kusila livangili ilingi, neke kwevale avaanhu vamonga vano vikuvasababikisia imhumhuko na kunoghua kusyetulania ilivangili lwa Kilisite.
but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 neke nambe ndeve twesue au uMhola kuhuma kukyanya apulisia kulyumue ilivangili ilingi lino tukapulisie kulyumue na aghunuaghe.
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 ndavule ino tukajovile muvutengulilo, lino nijova kange, “ndeve kuli nu muunhu ilikuvapulisia ilivangili ilingi lino namukupile na aghunuaghe,”
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 pe lino nilonda kuhakikisia ku vaanhu au uNguluve. nilonda kukuvahovosia avaanhu? ndeve nighendelela kughelasia kukuvahovosia avaanhu, une nanili nsung'ua ghwa Kilisite.
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 wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.
11 vanyalukolo ninoghua umue mukagule kuuti ilivangili lini nikapulisie nalihumila kuvaanhu.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12 nanikwupile kuhuma kwa muunhu, nambe nanikavulanisifue, looli lulyale lwe, vwa Yesu Kilisite kulyune.
For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 mukapulike uvwumi vango uvwa kunsana ku nyifunyo isa kiYahudi, silyale sikumhumhusia ku vukali mu tembile ja Nguluve kukila na kukum'buda.
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 nilyaghendelile mu tembile ja kiYahudi kukila avanyalukolo vango vinga avaYahudi. nilyalye nu lughimbo kyongo mu vutavike la vababa vango.
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 neke uNguluve lukamunoghile kukunavua une kuhuma mulileme lwa mama ghwango. akang'emelile une kukilila uvumosi vwake.
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
16 kukum'bonesia unswambe n'kate n'jango, neke kuuti nimpulisie u mwene ku vapanji. nanikalondile kuvungua na vaanhu.
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 kange nanikatoghile ku Yelusalemu ku vala vano valyale vasung'ua ye nikyale une. pe pano nikaluta ku vualabuni na pambele kugomoka ku Damesiki.
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 amaka ghatatu pambele nikatogha kuluta kuYelusalemu kukumughendela uKefa, nikikalile nagho iighono kijigho ni fihano.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 neke nanikamwaghile unsung'ua ujunge neke ju Yakobo unyalukolo ghwa Mutwa.
But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 loola! pavulongolo pa Ngulluve nanisyanga ku kila kino nilemba kulyumue.
Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
21 pe pano nikaluta ku fighavo fya Shamu na Kulikia.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 nanika kagulike ku maaso gha tembile ja vaYahudi vano valyale mwa Kilisite,
I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
23 neke vakale vipulika lwene,” umwene juno akale ikutupumhusia lino ipulisia ulwitiko luno akale ikulunangania.”
but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
24 valyale vikumughinia uNguluve vwimila jango.
So they glorified God in me.
