1Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
1Kai, Pawl loe (kami khae hoi ih na ai, kami mah patoeh ih doeh na ai, anih duekhaih thung hoi pathawkkung, Jesu Kri hoi Ampa Sithaw mah patoeh ih kami) ni;
2and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
2kai hoi nawnto kaom nawkamyanawk boih mah, Kalati prae ih kricaabunawk khaeah:
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
3Ampa Sithaw, aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri khae hoi ih tahmenhaih hoi monghaih to nangcae khaeah om nasoe, tiah ca kang tarik o,
4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
4aicae Ampa Sithaw koehhaih baktih, vaihi dung thuem ih kahoih ai hae long thung hoiah aicae pahlong thai hanah, Anih loe angmah hoi angmah to angpaek boeh,
5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
5Anih khaeah tahamhoihaih dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to om nasoe. Amen.
6I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
6Kri tahmenhaih thungah kawkkung khae hoi kalah tamthanglok hoih bangah, karangah nang puen o ving pongah ka dawnrai.
7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
7To kalah tamthanglok hoih loe, kahoih tamthanglok tangtang na ai ni; nangcae raihaih paek moe, kahoih Kri tamthanglok hoiah angqoisak ving han kakoeh thoemto kaminawk oh o.
8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
8Toe nangcae khaeah kang thuih o ih tamthanglok hoih laep ah kalah tamthanglok hoih to kaicae mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe van kami maeto mah maw taphong nahaeloe, to tiah taphong kami to tangoenghaih tong nasoe.
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 under a curse!
9Kang thuih o tangcae baktih toengah, vaihi doeh kang thuih o let, mi kawbaktih mah doeh na talawk o tangcae kahoih tamthanglok laep ah kalah tamthanglok to taphong nahaeloe, to tiah taphong kami to tangoenghaih tong nasoe.
10Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
10Kai mah vaihi kami koehhaih maw ka sak, to tih ai boeh loe Sithaw koeh haih? To tih ai boeh loe kaminawk palung anghoesak han ih maw ka sak? Kaminawk palung anghoesak han ih ka sak nahaeloe, Kri ih tamna ah ka om mak ai.
11For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
11Nawkamyanawk, kai mah taphong ih kahoih tamthanglok loe kami mah sak rumram ih na ai ni, tiah panoeksak han ka koeh.
12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
12Kami khae hoi ka hnu ai, amtuk ih doeh na ai ah, Jesu Kri amtuenghaih rang hoiah ni ka hnuk.
13For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
13Canghni Judah phung ah ka oh nathuem ih kai khosakhaih dan hoi kawbangmaw Sithaw ih kricaabu to ka sak thaih thung ka pacaekthlaek moe, amro hanah ka pacaeng, tito na panoek o boeh:
14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
14kai loe kam panawk ih khosakhaih atawk bangah poek angpaek hmoek kami ah ka oh, kaimacae acaeng thung ih kai hoi huih to kaminawk pongah doeh Judah bokhaih bangah ka cak kue.
15But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
15Toe Sithaw mah ang tahmen pongah, a tahmenhaih rang hoiah angmah hanah kam no ih zok thung hoiah ni kai ang kawk boeh.
16to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
16Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk khaeah anih kawng to taphong moe, kai khaeah a Capa amtuengsak hanah, taksa ah athii kazoi kaminawk khaeah lok ka thui ai:
17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
17ka hma ah kaom patoeh ih kaminawk hnuk hanah Jerusalem ah ka caeh ai; Arab prae ah ni ka caeh lat moe, Damaska ah kam laem let.
18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
18Saning thumto pacoengah, Piter hnuk hanah Jerusalem ah ka caeh tahang, anih khaeah ni hatlai pangato ka cam.
19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
19Toe Angraeng ih amnawk Jakob khue ai ah loe, patoeh ih kalah kaminawk maeto doeh ka hnu ai.
20I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
20Vaihi nangcae khaeah kang tarik ih hae loknawk loe lok amlaihaih roe om ai, tiah Sithaw hmaa ah ka thuih.
21Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
21To pacoengah Syria hoi Cilicia ah ka caeh;
22I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
22kai loe Judea prae thung ih Kri ah kaom kricaabunawk hoi krang angmathaih ka tawn ai:
23They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
23kaminawk mah canghni ah aicae pacaekthlaek kami loe, vaihi angmah phraek ih tanghaih kawng to taphong lat boeh, tiah thuih o ih lok khue ni nihcae mah thaih o.
24And they glorified God because of me.
24To naah kai rang hoiah nihcae mah Sithaw to saphaw o.
