غَلاطِيَّة 2

١ 1 ثُمَّ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً صَعِدْتُ أَيْضًا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مَعَ بَرْنَابَا، آخِذًا مَعِي تِيطُسَ أَيْضًا.

Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Urishlim with Bar-Naba, taking Titus also with me.

٢ 2 وَإِنَّمَا صَعِدْتُ بِمُوجَبِ إِعْلَانٍ، وَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلَ ٱلَّذِي أَكْرِزُ بِهِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلَكِنْ بِٱلِٱنْفِرَادِ عَلَى ٱلْمُعْتَبَرِينَ، لِئَلَّا أَكُونَ أَسْعَى أَوْ قَدْ سَعَيْتُ بَاطِلًا.

I went up by revelation, and I explained to them the Good News which I preach among those who are not Jewish, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

٣ 3 لَكِنْ لَمْ يُضْطَرَّ وَلَا تِيطُسُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ مَعِي، وَهُوَ يُونَانِيٌّ، أَنْ يَخْتَتِنَ.

But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

٤ 4 وَلَكِنْ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلْكَذَبَةِ ٱلْمُدْخَلِينَ خُفْيَةً، ٱلَّذِينَ دَخَلُوا ٱخْتِلَاسًا لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا حُرِّيَّتَنَا ٱلَّتِي لَنَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ كَيْ يَسْتَعْبِدُونَا،

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Meshikha Yeshua, that they might bring us into bondage;

٥ 5 الَّذِينَ لَمْ نُذْعِنْ لَهُمْ بِٱلْخُضُوعِ وَلَا سَاعَةً، لِيَبْقَى عِنْدَكُمْ حَقُّ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ.

to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.

٦ 6 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُعْتَبَرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ شَيْءٌ - مَهْمَا كَانُوا، لَا فَرْقَ عِنْدِي، ٱللهُ لَا يَأْخُذُ بِوَجْهِ إِنْسَانٍ - فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُعْتَبَرِينَ لَمْ يُشِيرُوا عَلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ.

But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people)—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

٧ 7 بَلْ بِٱلْعَكْسِ، إِذْ رَأَوْا أَنِّي ٱؤْتُمِنْتُ عَلَى إِنْجِيلِ ٱلْغُرْلَةِ كَمَا بُطْرُسُ عَلَى إِنْجِيلِ ٱلْخِتَانِ.

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Kipha with the Good News for the circumcision

٨ 8 فَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ فِي بُطْرُسَ لِرِسَالَةِ ٱلْخِتَانِ عَمِلَ فِيَّ أَيْضًا لِلْأُمَمِ.

(for he who appointed Kipha to be an apostle of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);

٩ 9 فَإِذْ عَلِمَ بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لِي يَعْقُوبُ وَصَفَا وَيُوحَنَّا، ٱلْمُعْتَبَرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ أَعْمِدَةٌ، أَعْطَوْنِي وَبَرْنَابَا يَمِينَ ٱلشَّرِكَةِ لِنَكُونَ نَحْنُ لِلْأُمَمِ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلِلْخِتَانِ.

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, Yaquv and Kipha and Yukhanan, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Bar-Naba the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the non-Jews, and they to the circumcised.

١٠ 10 غَيْرَ أَنْ نَذْكُرَ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ. وَهَذَا عَيْنُهُ كُنْتُ ٱعْتَنَيْتُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَهُ.

They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

١١ 11 وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا أَتَى بُطْرُسُ إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ قَاوَمْتُهُ مُواجَهَةً، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مَلُومًا.

But when Kipha came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ قَبْلَمَا أَتَى قَوْمٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ يَعْقُوبَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ مَعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا أَتَوْا كَانَ يُؤَخِّرُ وَيُفْرِزُ نَفْسَهُ، خَائِفًا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْخِتَانِ.

For before some people came from Yaquv, he ate with those who were not Jewish. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

١٣ 13 وَرَاءَى مَعَهُ بَاقِي ٱلْيَهُودِ أَيْضًا، حَتَّى إِنَّ بَرْنَابَا أَيْضًا ٱنْقَادَ إِلَى رِيَائِهِمْ!

And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Bar-Naba was carried away with their hypocrisy.

١٤ 14 لَكِنْ لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْلُكُونَ بِٱسْتِقَامَةٍ حَسَبَ حَقِّ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ، قُلْتُ لِبُطْرُسَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ وَأَنْتَ يَهُودِيٌّ تَعِيشُ أُمَمِيًّا لَا يَهُودِيًّا، فَلِمَاذَا تُلْزِمُ ٱلْأُمَمَ أَنْ يَتَهَوَّدُوا؟»

But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Kipha before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the non-Jews do, and not as the Jews do, how can you compel the non-Jews to live as the Jews do?

١٥ 15 نَحْنُ بِٱلطَّبِيعَةِ يَهُودٌ وَلَسْنَا مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ خُطَاةً،

"We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,

١٦ 16 إِذْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ لَا يَتَبَرَّرُ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، بَلْ بِإِيمَانِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، آمَنَّا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِنَتَبَرَّرَ بِإِيمَانِ يَسُوعَ لَا بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ. لِأَنَّهُ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ لَا يَتَبَرَّرُ جَسَدٌ مَا.

yet knowing that no one is justified by the works of the law but through faith in Yeshua Meshikha, even we believed in Meshikha Yeshua, that we might be justified by faith in Meshikha, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

١٧ 17 فَإِنْ كُنَّا وَنَحْنُ طَالِبُونَ أَنْ نَتَبَرَّرَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، نُوجَدُ نَحْنُ أَنْفُسُنَا أَيْضًا خُطَاةً، أَفَٱلْمَسِيحُ خَادِمٌ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ؟ حَاشَا!

But if, while we sought to be justified in Meshikha, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Meshikha a servant of sin? Certainly not.

١٨ 18 فَإِنِّي إِنْ كُنْتُ أَبْنِي أَيْضًا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي قَدْ هَدَمْتُهُ، فَإِنِّي أُظْهِرُ نَفْسِي مُتَعَدِّيًا.

For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

١٩ 19 لِأَنِّي مُتُّ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ لِلنَّامُوسِ لِأَحْيَا لِلهِ.

For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

٢٠ 20 مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ صُلِبْتُ، فَأَحْيَا لَا أَنَا، بَلِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يَحْيَا فِيَّ. فَمَا أَحْيَاهُ ٱلْآنَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، فَإِنَّمَا أَحْيَاهُ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، إِيمَانِ ٱبْنِ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّنِي وَأَسْلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لِأَجْلِي.

I have been crucified with Meshikha, and it is no longer I that live, but Meshikha living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

٢١ 21 لَسْتُ أُبْطِلُ نِعْمَةَ ٱللهِ. لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ بِرٌّ، فَٱلْمَسِيحُ إِذًا مَاتَ بِلَا سَبَبٍ!

I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Meshikha died for nothing."
