Galatians 1

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

Naku, na Paora, na te apotoro, kihai nei i tonoa e te tangata, kihai ano hoki ma roto i te tangata, engari i ma roto i a Ihu Karaiti, i te Atua Matua ano hoki, nana nei ia i whakaara i te hunga mate;

And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

Na nga teina katoa hoki i ahau nei, ki nga hahi o Karatia.

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

Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na to tatou Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti,

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

I tuku nei i a ia ano mo o tatou hara, kia whakaorangia ai tatou e ia i tenei ao kino, i runga i ta te Atua, i ta to tatou Matua i pai ai.

To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Waiho atu i a ia te kororia ake ake. Amine.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Miharo tonu ahau ki te hohoro o to koutou nekehanga atu i te kaikaranga o koutou i runga i te aroha noa o te Karaiti ki tetahi rongopai ke:

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Ehara nei ia i te mea ke atu; engari tena tetahi hunga e whakararuraru ana i a koutou, e mea ana kia whakaputaia ketia te rongopai o te Karaiti.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Otira, ahakoa ko matou, ko tetahi anahera ranei o te rangi, ki te kauwhau i te rongopai ki a koutou, i te mea rere ke i ta matou i kauwhau ai ki a koutou, kia kanga ia.

As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Kia rite ki ta matou i ki ai i mua, ka ki ano ahau inaianei, ki te puta ke te kauwhau a tetahi ki a koutou i tera kua riro i a koutou, kia kanga ia.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

He tangata ranei, ko te Atua ranei, taku e kukume nei? he tangata ranei aku e whai nei kia whakamanawarekatia? mehemea kei runga tonu ahau i te whakamanawareka tangata, ehara ahau i te pononga na te Karaiti.

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

Na, kia mohio mai koutou, e oku teina, ko te rongopai i kauwhautia e ahau, ehara i te tangata.

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Ehara hoki na te tangata i riro mai ai i ahau, nana ranei i whakaako ki ahau, engari i haere mai ki ahau ra te whakakitenga mai a Ihu Karaiti.

For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

Kua rongo na hoki koutou ki taku whakahaere i mua i runga i ta nga Hurai tikanga, nui atu hoki taku tukino i te hahi a te Atua, mongamonga ana i ahau:

And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

I hipa noa atu ahau ki mua i etahi tokomaha tonu o matou, rite nga tau ki oku, i waenganui i toku iwi ki te tikanga a nga Hurai, hira noa atu hoki toku ngakau ki nga whakarerenga iho a oku matua.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

Otira i te mea ka pai te Atua, nana nei ahau i momotu mai i roto tonu i te kopu o toku whaea, i karanga hoki, he meatanga na tona aroha noa,

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Ki te whakakite i tana Tama i roto i ahau, kia kauwhautia ai ia e ahau ki nga tauiwi; i reira tonu iho kihai ahau i korerorero ki te kikokiko, ki te toto:

Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

Kihai ano ahau i haere atu ki Hiruharama, ki te hunga i apotoro i mua i ahau; heoi haere ana ahau ki Arapia, a hoki ana mai ki Ramahiku.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

A muri iho i te takanga o nga tau e toru ka haere ake ahau ki Hiruharama kia kite i a Pita, a tekau ma rima nga ra i noho ai ahau ki a ia.

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

Engari kihai ahau i kite i tetahi atu o nga apotoro, ko Hemi anake, ko te teina o te Ariki.

Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

Na, ko nga mea e tuhituhia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou, nana, kei te aroaro tenei o te Atua, kahore aku teka.

Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

Muri iho ka haere ahau ki nga wahi o Hiria, o Kirikia;

And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

Kihai ano toku mata i mohiotia e nga hahi o Huria i roto i a te Karaiti:

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

I rongo kau ratou, Ko te tangata tukino i a matou i mua, e kauwhautia ana e ia inaianei te whakapono i whakangaromia ra e ia.

And they glorified God in me.

A whakakororia ana ratou i te Atua mo tana ki ahau.
