Galatians 1
1 Paulu, aposteli tí a rán kì í ṣe láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn wá, tàbí nípa ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n nípa Jesu Kristi àti Ọlọ́run Baba, ẹni tí ó jí i dìde kúrò nínú òkú.
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 Àti gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi, Sí àwọn ìjọ ní Galatia:
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ sí yín àti àlàáfíà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wá àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 ẹni tí ó fi òun tìkára rẹ̀ dípò ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, kí ó lè gbà wá kúrò nínú ayé búburú ìsinsin yìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run àti Baba wa, (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 Ó yà mi lẹ́nu pé ẹ tètè yapa kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí ó pè yín sínú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Kristi, sí ìyìnrere mìíràn.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different Good News;
7 Nítòótọ́, kò sí ìyìnrere mìíràn bí ó tilẹ̀ ṣe pé àwọn kan wà, tí ń yọ yín lẹ́nu, tí wọ́n sì ń fẹ́ yí ìyìnrere Kristi padà.
and there is not another Good News. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe àwa ni tàbí angẹli kan láti ọ̀run wá, ni ó bá wàásù ìyìnrere mìíràn fún yín ju èyí tí a tí wàásù rẹ̀ fún yín lọ, jẹ́ kí ó di ẹni ìfibú títí láéláé!
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 Bí àwa ti wí ṣáájú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo sì tún wí nísinsin yìí pé, bí ẹnìkan bá wàásù ìyìnrere mìíràn fún yín ju èyí tí ẹ̀yin tí gbà lọ, jẹ́ kí ó di ẹni ìfibú títí láéláé!
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 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ènìyàn ni èmi ń wá ojúrere rẹ̀ ní tàbí Ọlọ́run? Tàbí ènìyàn ni èmi ń fẹ́ láti wù bí? Bí èmi bá ń fẹ́ láti wu ènìyàn, èmi kò lè jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ Kristi.
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 Christ.
11 Mo fẹ́ kí ẹ mọ̀, ará, pé ìyìnrere tí mo tí wàásù kì í ṣe láti ipa ènìyàn.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 N kò gbà á lọ́wọ́ ènìyàn kankan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò fi kọ́ mi, ṣùgbọ́n mo gbà á nípa ìfihàn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu Kristi.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Nítorí ẹ̀yin ti gbúròó ìgbé ayé mi nígbà àtijọ́ nínú ìsìn àwọn Júù, bí mo tí ṣe inúnibíni sí ìjọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run rékọjá ààlà, tí mo sì lépa láti bà á jẹ́.
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 Mo sì ta ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi yọ nínú ìsìn àwọn Júù láàrín àwọn ìran mi, mo sì ni ìtara lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ sì òfin àtọwọ́dọ́wọ́ àwọn baba mi.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó wú Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ó yà mí sọ́tọ̀ láti inú ìyá mi wá, tí ó sì pé mi nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀.
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 Láti fi ọmọ rẹ̀ hàn nínú mi, kì èmi lè máa wàásù ìyìnrere rẹ̀ láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà; èmi kò wá ìmọ̀ lọ sọ́dọ̀ ẹnikẹ́ni,
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 bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò gòkè lọ sì Jerusalẹmu tọ àwọn tí í ṣe aposteli ṣáájú mi, ṣùgbọ́n mo lọ sí Arabia, mo sì tún padà wá sí Damasku.
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 Lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́ta, nígbà náà ni mo gòkè lọ sì Jerusalẹmu láti lọ kì Peteru, mo sì gbé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìjọ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún,
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 èmi kò ri ẹlòmíràn nínú àwọn tí ó jẹ́ aposteli, bí kò ṣe Jakọbu arákùnrin Olúwa.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Nǹkan tí èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín yìí, kíyèsi i, níwájú Ọlọ́run èmi kò ṣèké.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Lẹ́yìn náà mo sì wá sí agbègbè Siria àti ti Kilikia.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Mo sì jẹ́ ẹni tí a kò mọ̀ lójú fún àwọn ìjọ tí ó wà nínú Kristi ni Judea.
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ,
23 Wọ́n kàn gbọ́ ìròyìn wí pé, “Ẹni tí ó tí ń ṣe inúnibíni sí wa rí, ní ìsinsin yìí ti ń wàásù ìgbàgbọ́ náà tí ó ti gbìyànjú láti bàjẹ́ nígbà kan rí.”
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Wọ́n sì yin Ọlọ́run lógo nítorí mi.
And they glorified God because of me.
