Galatians 1
1 Minu Polo, mvuala, nditelo mbila, bika sia kuidi batu voti mu nzila yi mutu vayi kuidi niandi veka Yesu Klisto ayi kuidi Nzambi Tata diodi difulukisa Yesu mu bafua.
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Yeshua Meshikha, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 Va kimosi ayi bakhomba zibundani yama kuaku, tufidisidi nkanda wawu kuidi mabundu ma Ngalatiya.
and all the brothers who are with me, to the congregations of Galatia:
3 Bika Nzambi Dise dieto ayi Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto baluvana nlemvo ayi ndembama.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha,
4 Klisto niandi mutu wukiyekula mu diambu di masumu meto muingi katukula mu tsungi yayi yi mbimbi boso buididi luzolo lu Nzambi, dise dieto. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Minu ndilembo simina mu mona ti beno luyekudi mu nsualu mutu wowo wulutela mbila mu nlemvo wu Klisto mu diambu di landakana Nsamu Wumboti wunkaka.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Meshikha to a different "good news";
7 Kuisi ko Nsamu Wumboti wunkaka. Bila batu bankaka balembo kotisa divunzi mu beno ayi batidi balula Nsamu wumboti wu Klisto.
and there is not another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Meshikha.
8 Buba ti beto veka voti mbasi yi Diyilu, wukululonga mambu ma Nsamu Wumboti wunkaka, makambu dedakana ayi momo tululonga, buna bika kasingu.
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 Banga bu tutuama tuba ayi buabu ndieka buela vutukila ku dituba: enati mutu wululongidi Nsamu Wumboti wunkaka wunkambu dedakana ayi wowo lutambula, buna bika kasingu.
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 Bila buabu lumbanzila ti ndintomba ti batu bakhikinina voti Nzambi kakhikinina e? Lummuena ti batu ndintomba monisa khini e? Enati minu batu ndintomba monisa khini buna ndisiedi kisadi ki Klisto ko.
For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Meshikha.
11 Bakhomba baama, thidi luzaba ti Nsamu wumboti wowo ndilusamunina wusia ba kuidi mutu ko.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 Bila ndisia kuwu tambula kuidi mutu ko ayi kadi mutu kasia kundonga wawu ko. Vayi niandi veka Yesu Klisto wutsonga wawu.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua Meshikha.
13 Bila lutuama wa buevi bubela khadulu ama mu dibundu di Bayuda; buevi ndiyamisina dibundu di Nzambi ayi buevi ndiyamisina diawu;
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 ayi buevi minu ndiviatukila Bayuda bawombo baba mu thongꞌama mu matedi kinzika mina mi Bayuda; minu ndiluta ba bufula mu bawu boso mu matedi kikhulu ki bakulu bama.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Vayi Nzambi, mutu wowo wutsobula tona mu vumu ki ngudi ama ayi wuthela mu nlemvo, bu kamona khini
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 buna wumbonisa Muanꞌandi muingi ndinsamuna kuidi Bapakanu. Buna ndisia tuama kuenda tambula malongi kuidi mutu ko
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 ayi ndisia kuenda ko ku Yelusalemi kuidi bamvuala bathuamina vayi nditumbu kuenda ku Alabi. Bosi ndibuela vutuka ku Damasi.
nor did I go up to Urishlim to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 Mimvu mintatu bu mivioka, bosi ndiyenda ku Yelusalemi mu zabasana ayi Piela. Kumi bilumbu bitanu ndivuandila ku nzo andi.
Then after three years I went up to Urishlim to see Kipha and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Ndisia mona mvuala yinkaka ko, botula kaka Zaki khomba yi Pfumu Yesu.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except Yaquv, the Lord's brother.
20 Mu mambu momo ndikulusonikina, Nzambi niandi mbangi ama; ndikadi vuna.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Bosi ndiyenda ku Sili ayi ku Silisi.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Muaki baklisto ba mabundu ma Yuda basia kunzaba ko,
I was still unknown by face to the congregations of Yehuda which were in Meshikha,
23 vayi zitsangu kaka baba wanga ti: “Mutu wowo wubedi kutuyamisanga, buabu niandi wulembo longi minu kioki kabedi tombanga vonda.”
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Buna mu diambu diama, bakembisa Nzambi.
And they glorified God because of me.
