¹Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

¹¶ 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;

²And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

²Na nga teina katoa hoki i ahau nei, ki nga hahi o Karatia.

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

³Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na to tatou Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti,

⁴Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

⁴I 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.

⁵To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁵Waiho atu i a ia te kororia ake ake. Amine.

⁶I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

⁶¶ 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:

⁷Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

⁷Ehara 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.

⁸But 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.

⁸Otira, 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.

⁹As 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.

⁹Kia 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.

¹⁰For 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.

¹⁰¶ 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.

¹¹But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

¹¹Na, kia mohio mai koutou, e oku teina, ko te rongopai i kauwhautia e ahau, ehara i te tangata.

¹²For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹²Ehara 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.

¹³For 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:

¹³Kua 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:

¹⁴And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁴I 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.

¹⁵But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

¹⁵Otira 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,

¹⁶To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

¹⁶Ki 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:

¹⁷Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

¹⁷Kihai 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.

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

¹⁸A 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.

¹⁹But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

¹⁹Engari kihai ahau i kite i tetahi atu o nga apotoro, ko Hemi anake, ko te teina o te Ariki.

²⁰Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

²⁰Na, ko nga mea e tuhituhia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou, nana, kei te aroaro tenei o te Atua, kahore aku teka.

²¹Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

²¹Muri iho ka haere ahau ki nga wahi o Hiria, o Kirikia;

²²And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

²²Kihai ano toku mata i mohiotia e nga hahi o Huria i roto i a te Karaiti:

²³But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

²³I 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.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.

²⁴A whakakororia ana ratou i te Atua mo tana ki ahau.
