¹Paul, an apostle — not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of 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 with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

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

³Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and 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 did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even 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 [is] the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.

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

⁶I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

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:

⁷that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the 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 even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you — anathema let him be!

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 have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive — anathema let him be!

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 now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please — Christ`s servant I should not be.

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.

¹¹And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

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

¹²for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught [it], but through a 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 did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting 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 I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers` deliverances,

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.

¹⁵and when God was well pleased — having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called [me] through 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 proclaim him good news among the nations, 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:

¹⁷nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to 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 enquire about Peter, and remained 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.

¹⁹and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.

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

²⁰And the things that I write to you, lo, 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.

²¹then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,

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

²²and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that [are] in Christ,

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

²³and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news — the faith that then he was wasting;`

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 were glorifying God in me.

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