< غَلاطِيَّة 1 >

بُولُسُ، رَسُولٌ لَا مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا بِإِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، ١ 1
To the churches in Galatia, from Paul, an Apostle whose commission is not from men and is given, not by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead;
وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي، إِلَى كَنَائِسِ غَلَاطِيَّةَ: ٢ 2
and from all the Brothers here.
نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ، وَمِنْ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٣ 3
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you and give you peace.
ٱلَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ لِأَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا، لِيُنْقِذَنَا مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ حَسَبَ إِرَادَةِ ٱللهِ وَأَبِينَا، (aiōn g165) ٤ 4
For Christ, to rescue us from this present wicked age, gave himself for our sins, in accordance with the will of God and Father, (aiōn g165)
ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165) ٥ 5
to whom be ascribed all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
إِنِّي أَتَعَجَّبُ أَنَّكُمْ تَنْتَقِلُونَ هَكَذَا سَرِيعًا عَنِ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ بِنِعْمَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ إِلَى إِنْجِيلٍ آخَرَ! ٦ 6
I am astonished at your so soon deserting him, who called you through the love of Christ, for a different ‘Good News,’
لَيْسَ هُوَ آخَرَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ قَوْمٌ يُزْعِجُونَكُمْ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُحَوِّلُوا إِنْجِيلَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. ٧ 7
Which is really no Good News at all. But then, I know that there are people who are harassing you, and who want to pervert the Good News of the Christ.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ نَحْنُ أَوْ مَلَاكٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ بِغَيْرِ مَا بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ، فَلْيَكُنْ «أَنَاثِيمَا»! ٨ 8
Yet even if we — or if an angel from Heaven were to tell you any other ‘Good News’ than that which we told you, may he be accursed!
كَمَا سَبَقْنَا فَقُلْنَا أَقُولُ ٱلْآنَ أَيْضًا: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِغَيْرِ مَا قَبِلْتُمْ، فَلْيَكُنْ «أَنَاثِيمَا»! ٩ 9
We have said it before, and I repeat it now — If any one tells you a ‘Good News’ other than that which you received, may he be accursed!
أَفَأَسْتَعْطِفُ ٱلْآنَ ٱلنَّاسَ أَمِ ٱللهَ؟ أَمْ أَطْلُبُ أَنْ أُرْضِيَ ٱلنَّاسَ؟ فَلَوْ كُنْتُ بَعْدُ أُرْضِي ٱلنَّاسَ، لَمْ أَكُنْ عَبْدًا لِلْمَسِيحِ. ١٠ 10
Is this, I ask, trying to conciliate men, or God? Am I seeking to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
وَأُعَرِّفُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱلْإِنْجِيلَ ٱلَّذِي بَشَّرْتُ بِهِ، أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِحَسَبِ إِنْسَانٍ. ١١ 11
I would remind you, Brothers, that the Good News which I told is no mere human invention.
لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَقْبَلْهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ إِنْسَانٍ وَلَا عُلِّمْتُهُ. بَلْ بِإِعْلَانِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. ١٢ 12
I, at least, did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through a revelation made by Jesus Christ.
فَإِنَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِسِيرَتِي قَبْلًا فِي ٱلدِّيَانَةِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَضْطَهِدُ كَنِيسَةَ ٱللهِ بِإِفْرَاطٍ وَأُتْلِفُهَا. ١٣ 13
You heard, no doubt, of my conduct when I was devoted to Judaism — how I persecuted the Church of God to an extent beyond belief, and made havoc of it,
وَكُنْتُ أَتَقَدَّمُ فِي ٱلدِّيَانَةِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَتْرَابِي فِي جِنْسِي، إِذْ كُنْتُ أَوْفَرَ غَيْرَةً فِي تَقْلِيدَاتِ آبَائِي. ١٤ 14
and how, in my devotion to Judaism, I surpassed many of my contemporaries among my own people in my intense earnestness in upholding the traditions of my ancestors.
وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا سَرَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي أَفْرَزَنِي مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي، وَدَعَانِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ، ١٥ 15
But when God, who had set me apart even before my birth, and who called me by his love,
أَنْ يُعْلِنَ ٱبْنَهُ فِيَّ لِأُبَشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، لِلْوَقْتِ لَمْ أَسْتَشِرْ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا، ١٦ 16
saw fit to reveal his Son in me, so that I might tell the Good News of him among the Gentiles, then at once, instead of consulting any human being,
وَلَا صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلِي، بَلِ ٱنْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى ٱلْعَرَبِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ أَيْضًا إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. ١٧ 17
or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who were Apostles before me, I went to Arabia, and came back again to Damascus.
ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِأَتَعَرَّفَ بِبُطْرُسَ، فَمَكَثْتُ عِنْدَهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا. ١٨ 18
Three years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem to make the acquaintance of Peter, and I stayed a fortnight with him.
وَلَكِنَّنِي لَمْ أَرَ غَيْرَهُ مِنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا يَعْقُوبَ أَخَا ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٩ 19
I did not, however, see any other Apostle, except James, the Master’s brother.
وَٱلَّذِي أَكْتُبُ بِهِ إِلَيْكُمْ هُوَذَا قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ أَنِّي لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ فِيهِ. ٢٠ 20
(As to what I am now writing to you, I call God to witness that I am speaking the truth).
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ جِئْتُ إِلَى أَقَالِيمِ سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ. ٢١ 21
Afterwards I went to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
وَلَكِنَّنِي كُنْتُ غَيْرَ مَعْرُوفٍ بِٱلْوَجْهِ عِنْدَ كَنَائِسِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ. ٢٢ 22
But I was still unknown even by sight to the Christian Churches in Judea;
غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ: «أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَضْطَهِدُنَا قَبْلًا، يُبَشِّرُ ٱلْآنَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلًا يُتْلِفُهُ». ٢٣ 23
all that they had heard was — ‘The man who once persecuted us is now telling the Good News of the very Faith of which he once made havoc.’
فَكَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ ٱللهَ فِيَّ. ٢٤ 24
And they praised God on my account.
