Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
| مِنْ بُولُسَ، وَهُوَ رَسُولٌ، لاَ مِنْ قِبَلِ النَّاسِ وَلاَ بِسُلْطَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ بِسُلْطَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ الآبِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، | ١ |
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
| وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ الإِخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي، إِلَى الْكَنَائِسِ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ غَلاَطِيَّةَ. | ٢ |
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
| لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، | ٣ |
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age (aiōn g165), according to the will of our God and Father—
| الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَنَا مِنَ الْعَالَمِ الْحَاضِرِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَفْقاً لِمَشِيئَةِ إِلَهِنَا وَأَبِينَا. (aiōn g165) | ٤ |
| لَهُ الْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين! (aiōn g165) | ٥ |
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
| عَجَباً! كَيْفَ تَتَحَوَّلُونَ بِمِثْلِ هذِهِ السُّرْعَةِ عَنِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ بِنِعْمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ، وَتَنْصَرِفُونَ إِلَى إِنْجِيلٍ غَرِيبٍ؟ | ٦ |
7 but there is not another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
| لاَ أَعْنِي أَنَّ هُنَالِكَ إِنْجِيلاً آخَرَ، بَلْ إِنَّمَا هُنَالِكَ بَعْضُ الَّذِينَ يُثِيرُونَ الْبَلْبَلَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ، رَاغِبِينَ فِي تَحْوِيرِ إِنْجِيلِ الْمَسِيحِ. | ٧ |
8 But 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.
| وَلَكِنْ، حَتَّى لَوْ بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ نَحْنُ، أَوْ بَشَّرَكُمْ مَلاَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، بِغَيْرِ الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ بِهِ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً! | ٨ |
9 As 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.
| وَكَمَا سَبَقَ أَنْ قُلْنَا، أُكَرِّرُ الْقَوْلَ الآنَ أَيْضاً: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِإِنْجِيلٍ غَيْرِ الَّذِي قَبِلْتُمُوهُ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً! | ٩ |
10 For 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 would not be a servant of Christ.
| فَهَلْ أَسْعَى الآنَ إِلَى كَسْبِ تَأْيِيدِ النَّاسِ أَوِ اللهِ؟ أَمْ تُرَانِي أَطْلُبُ أَنْ أُرْضِيَ النَّاسَ؟ لَوْ كُنْتُ حَتَّى الآنَ أُرْضِي النَّاسَ، لَمَا كُنْتُ عَبْداً لِلْمَسِيحِ! | ١٠ |
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
| وَأُعْلِمُكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنَّ الإِنْجِيلَ الَّذِي بَشَّرْتُكُمْ بِهِ لَيْسَ إِنْجِيلاً بَشَرِيّاً. | ١١ |
12 For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
| فَلاَ أَنَا تَسَلَّمْتُهُ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلاَ تَلَقَّنْتُهُ، بَلْ جَاءَنِي بِإِعْلاَنٍ مِنْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. | ١٢ |
13 For 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.
| فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِسِيرَتِي الْمَاضِيَةِ فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، كَيْفَ كُنْتُ أَضْطَهِدُ كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ مُتَطَرِّفاً إِلَى أَقْصَى حَدٍّ، سَاعِياً إِلَى تَخْرِيبِهَا، | ١٣ |
14 I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
| وَكَيْفَ كُنْتُ مُتَفَوِّقاً فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ جِيلِي فِي أُمَّتِي لِكَوْنِي غَيُوراً أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جِدّاً عَلَى تَقَالِيدِ آبَائِي. | ١٤ |
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
| وَلَكِنْ، لَمَّا سُرَّ اللهُ، الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ أَفْرَزَنِي وَأَنَا فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي ثُمَّ دَعَانِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ، | ١٥ |
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
| أَنْ يُعْلِنَ ابْنَهُ فِيَّ لأُبَشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، فِي الْحَالِ لَمْ أَسْتَشِرْ لَحْماً وَدَماً، | ١٦ |
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
| وَلاَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لأُقَابِلَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا رُسُلاً مِنْ قَبْلِي، بَلِ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى بِلاَدِ الْعَرَبِ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. | ١٧ |
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
| ثُمَّ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ سَنَوَاتٍ، لأَتَعَرَّفَ بِبُطْرُسَ. وَقَدْ أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً. | ١٨ |
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
| وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أُقَابِلْ غَيْرَهُ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ إِلاَّ يَعْقُوبَ، أَخَا الرَّبِّ. | ١٩ |
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.
| إِنَّ مَا أَكْتُبُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ هُنَا، وَهَا أَنَا أَمَامَ اللهِ، لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ فِيهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، جِئْتُ إِلَى بِلاَدِ سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ. | ٢١ |
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
| إِلاَّ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ غَيْرَ مَعْرُوفٍ شَخْصِيّاً لَدَى كَنَائِسِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي هِيَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ. | ٢٢ |
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
| وَإِنَّمَا كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ «أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي السَّابِقِ يَضْطَهِدُنَا، يُبَشِّرُ الآنَ بِإِنْجِيلِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْعَى قَبْلاً إِلَى تَخْرِيبِهِ!» | ٢٣ |
24 So they glorified God in me.
| فَكَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ بِسَبَبِي. | ٢٤ |
