KWABASEGALATHIYA 1

₁UPawulu, umphostoli ongaveli kubantu noma ngomuntu, kodwa ngoJesu Kristu noNkulunkulu uYise owamvusa kwabafileyo,

₂nabazalwane bonke abanami kuwo amabandla aseGalathiya:

₃Makube-kini umusa nokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu naseNkosini yethu uJesu Kristu

₄owazinikela ngenxa yezono zethu, ukuze asophule kulelizwe elibi lamanje ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu uBaba wethu;

₅makube-kuye udumo kuze kubephakade. Amen.

₆Ngiyamangala ngokuba nimhlubuka masinya kangaka yena owanibizela emuseni kaKristu, niye kwelinye ivangeli,

₇elingesilo elinye, kuphela ukuba bakhona abanididayo, bethanda ukuphendukezela ivangeli likaKristu.

₈Kepha-ke noma kungaba-yithina noma ingelosi evela ezulwini enishumayeza ivangeli eliphambene nalelo esanishumayeza lona, makabe-ngoqalekisiweyo.

₉Njengalokho sesishilo, ngisaphinda nakalokhu, ngithi: Uma umuntu enishumayeza ivangeli eliphambene nalelo enalamukelayo, makabe-ngoqalekisiweyo.

₁₀Ngokuba manje ngizincengela kubantu noma kuNkulunkulu na? Kukho, ngifuna ukuzikholekisa kubantu yini? Uma bengisazikholekisa kubantu, kungaba angisiyo inceku kaKristu.

₁₁Ngokuba ngiyanazisa, bazalwane, ukuba ivangeli elishunyayelwe yimina alisilo elingokwabantu.

₁₂Ngokuba nami angilamukeliswanga ngumuntu, futhi angilifundiswanga, kepha ngilitholé ngokwambulelwa nguJesu Kristu.

₁₃Nizwile phela lokhu ngenkambo yami yakuqala ebuJudeni ukuthi ngalizingela kakhulu ibandla likaNkulunkulu, ngalichitha,

₁₄futhi ebuJudeni ngabadlula abaningi abayintanga yami kwabakithi, ngishisekela kakhulu kunabo amasiko awokhokho.

₁₅Kepha-ke mhla kwaba-kuhle kuNkulunkulu owangahlukanisela kwasesiswini sikamame, wangibiza ngomusa wakhe

₁₆ukuba ayambule iNdodana yakhe kimi, ukuze ngiyishumayele phakathi kwabezizwe, khona-lapho angibuzananga nenyama negazi,

₁₇futhi angenyukelanga eJerusalema kubona ababengabaphostoli ngaphambi kwami, kodwa ngamuka ngaya eArabiya, ngaphinda ngabuyela eDamaseku.

₁₈Kwathi emva kweminyaka emithathu ngenyukela eJerusalema ukubona uKhefase; ngahlala kuye izinsuku eziyishumi nanhlanu.

₁₉Kepha angibonanga omunye wabaphostoli, kuphela uJakobe umnawe weNkosi.

₂₀Kulokhu-ke enginilobela khona, bhekani, phambi kukaNkulunkulu, angiqambi amanga.

₂₁Emva kwalokho ngeza emazweni aseSiriya naseKhilikhiya.

₂₂Ngangisengongaziwayo ngobuso emabandleni aseJudiya akuKristu,

₂₃abesezwile nje ukuthi: Lowo okade esizingela useshumayela ukukholwa akade ekuchitha.

₂₄Ayesedumisa uNkulunkulu ngami.
