Kaletia 1

1Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

1KO AU PAULA, ko e ʻaposetolo, (ʻikai mei he kau tangata, pe ʻi ha tangata, kae meia Sisu Kalaisi, mo e ʻOtua ko e Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia;)

2and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:

2Pea mo e ngaahi kāinga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, ki he ngaahi siasi ʻi Kalētia:

3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

3Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mo e melino mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, pea mo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi,

4who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

4‌ʻAia naʻa ne foaki ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi angahala, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he maama kovi ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai:

5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

5Ke ʻiate ia pe ʻae fakafetaʻi ke taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.

6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

6‌ʻOku ou ofo ʻi hoʻomou hiki vave pehē meiate ia naʻa ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi, ki he ongoongolelei ʻe taha:

7not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

7‌ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai “ko e taha kehe moʻoni;” ka ʻoku ai ʻae niʻihi ʻoku fakamamahi ʻakimoutolu, pea ko honau loto ke fakakehe ʻae ongoongolelei ʻa Kalaisi.

8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.

8Kapau ʻe malangaʻaki ʻekimautolu, pe ha ʻāngelo mei he langi, ha ongoongolelei kehe kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko ia naʻa mau malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ke malaʻia pe ia.

9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

9‌ʻO hangē ko ia naʻa mau tomuʻa lea ʻaki, peau toe lea ʻaki eni, Kapau ʻe malangaʻaki ʻe ha taha ha ongoongolelei kehe kiate kimoutolu, kae ʻikai ko ia kuo mou maʻu, ke malaʻia pe ia.

10For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

10He ʻoku ou fai ni ko e fakafiemālieʻi ki he tangata, pe ko e ʻOtua? Pe ko ʻeku fai ni ke lelei pe ki he tangata? He kapau ʻoku ou kei fai ke lelei ki he tangata, ʻoku ʻikai ko e tamaioʻeiki au ʻa Kalaisi.

11For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel.

11Pea ʻoku ou fakapapau atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ko e ongoongolelei naʻaku malangaʻaki, ʻoku ʻikai mei he tangata ia.

12For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

12He naʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ia mei ha tangata, pea naʻe ʻikai ako ia kiate au, ka ʻi hono fakahā mai ʻe Sisu Kalaisi.

13For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.

13He kuo mou fanongo ki heʻeku ʻulungāanga ʻi muʻa ʻi he lotu fakaSiu, he naʻaku fakatanga ʻo lahi hake ʻaupito ʻae siasi ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo maumauʻi ia:

14And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

14Mo ʻeku fai lahi ki he lotu fakaSiu ʻo lahi hake ʻi he tokolahi naʻa mau toʻutangata ʻi hoku fonua, he naʻaku fai feinga ʻo lahi hake ʻaupito ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tamai.

15But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace,

15Ka ʻi he finangalo lelei ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fakamavae au mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē, ʻo ne ui au ʻi heʻene angaʻofa,

16was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;

16Ke fakahā hono ʻAlo ʻiate au, koeʻuhi ke u malangaʻaki ia ʻi he ngaahi Senitaile; naʻe ʻikai leva te u fakakaukau mo e kakano mo e toto:

17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

17Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻaposetolo ʻi muʻa ʻiate au; ka naʻaku ʻalu ki ʻAlepea, peau toe liu mai ki Tamasikusi.

18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.

18Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu, ne u ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema, ke feʻiloaki mo Pita, pea nofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma nima.

19But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother.

19Ka naʻe ʻikai te u mamata ki ha niʻihi ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo, ka ko Semisi, ko e tokoua ʻoe ʻEiki.

20(In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)

20Pea ko eni, ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, vakai, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai teu loi.

21Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

21Hili ia, naʻaku haʻu ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Silia mo Silisia;

22And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

22Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa hoku mata ʻe he ngaahi siasi ʻo Siutea ʻaia naʻe ʻia Kalaisi:

23They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

23Kae ngata pe ʻi heʻenau fanongo, “Ko ia ia naʻa ne fakatangaʻi ʻakitautolu ʻi muʻa, ʻoku ne malangaʻaki ni ʻae tui ʻaia naʻa ne tomuʻa maumauʻi.”

24And they glorified God because of me.

24Pea naʻa nau fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻae ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko au.
