1 P aul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through 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;

2 a nd all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

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

3 G race to you and peace from God the Father, and 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,

4 w ho gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and 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.

5 t o whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

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

6 I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different 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:

7 w hich is not another gospel only there are 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.

8 B ut though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.

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.

9 A s we have said before, so say I now again, if any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.

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.

10 F or am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a 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.

11 F or I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.

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

12 F or neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through 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.

13 F or ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of 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:

14 a nd I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for 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.

15 B ut when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother's womb, and called me through 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,

16 t o reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway 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:

17 n either went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned 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.

18 T hen after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried 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.

19 B ut 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.

20 N ow touching 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.

21 T hen I came unto the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

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

22 A nd I was still 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:

23 b ut they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;

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.

24 a nd they glorified God in me.

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