Abhagalatia 1
1 Ane ne Paulo ne mtume. Anesendi mtumwa afume whabhantu wala ashilile wabhantu, lelo ashilile wa Yesu Kristu no Ngolobhe oBaba yavyose seyafume wabhafwe.
Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),
2 Pandwemonaholo bhontinani engandishi amakanisa aga Galatia.
And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Owene obhenamwe nolutengano waufumile whaNgolobhe oBaba wetu no Gosi oYesu Kilisti,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)
6 Eswiga aje mgaluhana nanaliwizielyenje eswiga aje mgaluhana hutaliwanomwene. Yabhakwiziizye huwewe wa Yesu.
I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;
7 Nalimoizuilyenje lelobhaliabhantu bhabhanankanya amwe mayemba agalulanyeizulya Kristu.
Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.
8 Hata nkashele tete olweuje ohalao zelu, afumemwanya abhalombelele hulimweizu shenje nashilya tibhalombeleye hulimwe.
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.
9 Nashisatianjile awandile neshifyanga nautele nkasheleumntu abhalombelele, hulimweizu lyalilishenje, “nashila mwaliovweze oyo na ayejewe.”
As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.
10 Eshi ehwawa osimishizyo owabhantu olwenje wa Ngolobhe? Ehwanzaje embasongwezye abhantu? Nkashele iwendelela abhasungwezye abhantu? Anesendi mtumwa wa Kristu.
Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Bhaholo ewanzaje mmanye aje izulyehabhalombeleye selyafumile nabhantu.
Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.
12 Sihapetefume whamntu wala sehafundizizye badala yakwe. Ehali langouwa Yesu Kristu wane.
For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Mwovwe ajeolwizyolwane olwahunyuma Olwahunyuma olwedinieya Kiyahudi, shehali panga amayemba hukhali ikanisa lya Ngolobhe sana ashileeshipimo na nyangamizye.
For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:
14 Ehendeleye hudini Eyekiyahudi sana aholobhane abhinji abhayahudi ehalinebidii sana notupango otwababa bhane.
And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.
15 Lelo Ongolobhe asungwelwe ansalule ane. Afumemvwanda mwamaye. Ankwizizye ane ashilile huwene hwakwe
But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,
16 ahubhonesezye omwana mhati mwaline, aje ehulombelela omwene mwabhantu bhashele sebhahuputa. Nantelesehanzile owajenshe owebele ni danda
To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,
17 sehazubhile abhale huYerusalemu wabhala bhabhali watumwa kabuyaline. Saseleomwene ehabhalile Uarabuni pamande ehawhuyile hudemesiki.
And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.
18 Pesho humahagatatu ehazubhile abhale hu Yerusalemu ahujendele oKefa, nakhalanawo nakhalananawo. Ensiku kumi natano.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.
19 Lelosehalolile otumwa abhamwabho ila O Yakobo oholo wakwe no Gosi.
But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.
20 Enya hwitagalila elya Ngolobhe sekhopelahwalilalye hwandiha hulimwe.
Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.
21 Nantele ehabhalile humikowa aga Shamu nahu Kilikia.
Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Sehabhonehaga humaso aga hwikanisa ilya Uyahudi gala galaga Kristu,
And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:
23 lelohalibhahovwa wewe aje yatiyenvaga eshi alombelea olweteho yanankanyaga.”
Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;
24 Bhahusombezya Ongolobhe awande huline
And they gave glory to God in me.
