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

¹ Man Pool, ndawul Yeesu Kirist --nit falu ma ko, te jaarewul it ci nit, mi ngi jaare ci Yeesu Kirist ak Yàlla Baay, bi ko dekkal —

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:

² man ak bokk yiy ànd ak man yépp, nu ngi leen di bind, yéen mboolooy ñi gëm te dëkk ci diiwaanu Galasi.

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

³ Na yiw ak jàmm féete ak yéen, jóge ci Yàlla sunu Baay ak Yeesu Kirist Boroom bi,

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—

⁴ moom mi joxe bakkanam ngir dindi sunuy bàkkaar, te musal nu ci àddina su bon, si nu nekk, dëppook coobareg Yàlla sunu Baay,

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

⁵ bi yelloo ndam ba fàww. Amiin.

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

⁶ Man de jaaxle naa! Yàlla woo na leen ci boppam jaarale ko ci yiw, wi nu Kirist defal, waaye yéena ngi koy gaawantoo bàyyi, ngir topp beneen xebaar,

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

⁷ fekk du xebaar bu baax bi. Dafa am rekk ci seen biir ay nit ñiy nëxal xel yi, te bëgg a dandal xebaar bu baax bu Kirist.

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.

⁸ Waaye su fekkee kenn ci nun ñëw, walla malaaka sax mu jóge asamaan, di yégle beneen xebaar bu mengoowul ak bi nu leen yégal, kooku Yal na alku!

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.

⁹ Wax nanu ko, maa ngi koy waxaat: bu leen kenn yégalee beneen xebaar bu dul bi ngeen nangu, kooku Yal na alku!

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 Ndax kon nit laay wut a gëmloo, am damay fexee yey Yàlla? Mbaa damay wut a neex nit ñi? Su ma doon wut a neex nit ñi ba tey, kon duma nekkati jaamu Kirist.

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

¹¹ Bokk yi, maa ngi leen di xamal ne, xebaar bu baax bi ma yégle, jógewul ci nit.

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

¹² Jëlewuma ko ci nit, te kenn jàngalu ma ko, waaye Yeesu Kirist moo ma ko won.

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.

¹³ Dégg ngeen ni ma doon jëfe, bi ma nekkee ci diiney Yawut yi, di fitnaal bu metti mbooloom Yàlla, di ko jéem a tas.

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.

¹⁴ Bokkoon naa ci ñi gën a farlu ci diiney Yawut yi, te sawar it ci sàrti yoon, yi fi samay maam bàyyi, ba raw sama maas, gi ma bokkal askan.

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

¹⁵ Waaye Yàlla mi ma tànn lu jiitu sama juddu te woo ma ci boppam ci kaw yiwam, bi mu ko soobee, xamal na ma kan mooy Doomam, ngir ma yégal ñi dul Yawut xebaar bu baax bi ci mbirum Kirist; booba nag diisoowuma ci ak kenn.

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

¹⁷ Demuma sax Yerusalem seeti ñi ma jëkk a nekk ay ndawi Kirist, waaye réewu Arabi laa dem, te gannaaw loolu ma dellusiwaat Damas.

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.

¹⁸ Ba ñu ca tegee ñetti at, ma sog a dem Yerusalem, ngir xamante ak Sefas, dal fa moom lu mat ñaari ayu-bés.

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

¹⁹ Waaye gisuma keneen ci ndaw yi ku dul Saag, doomu ndeyu Boroom bi.

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

²⁰ Lii ma leen di bind nag, Yàllaa may seede ci ne, du ay fen.

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

²¹ Bi loolu wéyee dem naa réewu Siri ak réewu Silisi.

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

²² Waaye ba tey mboolooy ñi gëm Kirist ci diiwaanu Yude xamuñu ma woon.

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

²³ Dañu déggoon ñu naan rekk ne: «Ki nu daan fitnaal bu jëkk te daan jéem a far yoonu ngëm wi, léegi mi ngi koy yégle!»

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

²⁴ Te ñuy sant Yàlla ci man.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
