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;)
1Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
2Pea mo e ngaahi kāinga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, ki he ngaahi siasi ʻi Kalētia:
2and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
3Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mo e melino mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, pea mo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi,
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
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:
4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
5Ke ʻiate ia pe ʻae fakafetaʻi ke taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
6ʻOku ou ofo ʻi hoʻomou hiki vave pehē meiate ia naʻa ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi, ki he ongoongolelei ʻe taha:
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—
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.
7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
11Pea ʻoku ou fakapapau atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ko e ongoongolelei naʻaku malangaʻaki, ʻoku ʻikai mei he tangata ia.
11For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
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.
12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
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:
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.
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.
14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
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,
15But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
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:
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,
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.
17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
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.
18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
19Ka naʻe ʻikai te u mamata ki ha niʻihi ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo, ka ko Semisi, ko e tokoua ʻoe ʻEiki.
19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
20Pea ko eni, ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, vakai, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai teu loi.
20I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
21Hili ia, naʻaku haʻu ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Silia mo Silisia;
21Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa hoku mata ʻe he ngaahi siasi ʻo Siutea ʻaia naʻe ʻia Kalaisi:
22I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
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.”
23They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24Pea naʻa nau fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻae ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko au.
24And they glorified God because of me.
