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

¹Lâin laj Pablo. Lâin x-apóstol li Jesucristo. Moco taklanbilin ta xban cuînk, chi moco sa' xc'aba' junak cuînk. Taklanbilin ban xban li Jesucristo ut xban li Acuabej Dios, li quicuaclesin cui'chic re chi yo'yo li Jesucristo sa' xyânkeb li camenak.

²and all the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

²Lâin yôquin chixtaklanquil li hu a'in êriq'uin chêjunilex lâex li cuanquex sa' li junjûnk chi iglesia aran Galacia. Ut eb li hermân li cuanqueb cuochben yôqueb ajcui' chixtaklanquil xsahil êch'ôl.

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

³Chicuânk taxak êriq'uin li usilal ut li tuktûquilal li naxq'ue li Dios li kaYucua' ut li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

⁴who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

⁴Li Jesucristo quixk'axtesi rib chi câmc sa' xc'aba' li kamâc xban nak jo'can quiraj li Dios Acuabej. Quixbânu a'an re kacolbal chiru li mâusilal sa' li ruchich'och'.

⁵to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁵Lok'oninbil taxak ru li Acuabej Dios chi junelic k'e cutan. Jo'can taxak.

⁶I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;

⁶Nasach inch'ôl êban xban nak k'axal junpât yôquex chixcanabanquil li tz'akal Dios li quisic'oc êru xban li rusilal li Jesucristo. Ut yôquex chixpâbanquil jalan tijleb chirix li evangelio li moco yâl ta.

⁷and there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

⁷A'in moco naraj ta naxye nak cuan jun chic li evangelio. Lix yâlal a'an, a'in: cuanqueb li neque'raj xpo'bal ru li evangelio li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

⁸But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

⁸Usta lâo, usta junak ángel tâchâlk sa' choxa chixyebal êre jalan tijleb chirix li evangelio chiru li ac xkach'olob chêru, tz'ektânanbilak taxak xban li Dios li ani tâbânûnk re chi jo'ca'in.

⁹As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

⁹Ac xkaye a'in êre ut nakaye cui'chic êre, cui junak tixye êre jalan tijleb chirix li evangelio chiru li ac xerabi, tz'ektânanbilak taxak xban li Dios li ani tâbânûnk re chi jo'ca'in.

¹⁰For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

¹⁰¿Ma yal re ta bi' nak te'sahok' xch'ôl li cuînk cuiq'uin nak yôquin chixyebal chi jo'ca'in? ¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' yôquin chixyebal chi jo'ca'in re nak sahak xch'ôl li Dios cuiq'uin? ¿Ma tincuaj ta bi' tinc'ojob xch'ôleb li cuînk? Mâ jok'e xban nak cui ta toj nacuaj xc'ojobanquil xch'ôleb li cuînk mâcua'in raj aj c'anjel chiru li Jesucristo.

¹¹But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

¹¹Ex inhermân, nacuaj nak tênau nak li evangelio li xinch'olob chêru, a'an mâcua' yal xc'a'ux cuînk.

¹²For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹²Mâcua' yal riq'uin junak cuînk quicuabi, chi moco riq'uin ta junak cuînk quintzol cuib. A' ban li Kâcua' Jesucristo, a'an li quic'utbesin re chicuu.

¹³For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.

¹³Ac êrabiom ajcui' resil chanru nak quincuan chak sa' lix pâbâleb laj judío. Lâex nequenau nak k'axal nabal li raylal quinbânu reheb li neque'pâban re li Dios ut quinyal ink'e chixsachbal ruheb laj pâbanel.

¹⁴I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁴Lâin li k'axal cui'chic quinq'ue inch'ôl chiruheb li cuech sâjilal chixbânunquil li c'a'ru naxye lix pâbâleb laj judío. Ut k'axal cui'chic quinbânu li na'leb canabanbil ke xbaneb li kaxe' katôn.

¹⁵But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,

¹⁵Nak toj mâji' ninyo'la, xban xnimal rusilal, li Dios ac xsic' chak cuu re tinc'anjelak chiru.

¹⁶to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

¹⁶Ut nak li Dios quiraj xc'utbesinquil li Ralal chicuu re nak tinch'olob resil chiruheb li mâcua'eb aj judío, inc'a' xinpatz' inna'leb re junak cuînk.

¹⁷nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

¹⁷Chi moco côin ta Jerusalén chi âtinac riq'uineb li apóstol li quisiq'ue' ruheb junxil chicuu. Tîc ban côin Arabia ut mokon quinsuk'i cui'chic Damasco.

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

¹⁸Oxib chihab xpâbanquil li Dios inban nak côin Jerusalén re nak tinnau ru laj Pedro. O'laju cutan quincuan chak riq'uin.

¹⁹But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord’s brother.

¹⁹Ut quicuil ru laj Jacobo rîtz'in li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Ut chirix chic a'an, mâ jun chic reheb li apóstol quicuileb ru.

²⁰Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

²⁰Li Dios naxnau nak tz'akal yâl li c'a'ru yôquin chixtz'îbanquil sa' li hu a'in.

²¹Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

²¹Chirix chic a'an côin sa' eb li na'ajej xcuênt Siria ut Cilicia.

²²I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

²²Ut toj mâji'ak neque'xnau cuu eb laj pâbanel sa' xc'aba' li Cristo, li cuanqueb aran Judea.

²³but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

²³Yal resil neque'rabi li nayeman chicuix: Li cuînk li quirahobtesin reheb laj pâbanel junxil, anakcuan a'an chic yô chi yehoc resil li colba-ib li quiraj raj xsachbal junxil, chanqueb.Ut eb a'an que'xlok'oni ru li Dios nak que'rabi resil nak quinpâb li Cristo.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.

²⁴Ut eb a'an que'xlok'oni ru li Dios nak que'rabi resil nak quinpâb li Cristo.
