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—
| ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܝܕ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ |
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
| ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܥܡܝ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܓܠܛܝܐ |
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
| ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
| ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܚܠܦ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܕܢܦܨܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ (aiōn g165) |
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
| ܡܬܕܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܡܬܗܦܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܠܐܚܪܬܐ ܤܒܪܬܐ |
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
| ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܐܝܬ ܕܕܠܚܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܕܢܫܚܠܦܘܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ |
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.
| ܐܦ ܐܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܤܒܪܢܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܚܪܡ |
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.
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܡܪܬ ܘܗܫܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܤܒܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܚܪܡ |
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 wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.
| ܗܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܡܦܝܤ ܐܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܘ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܫܦܪ ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܫܦܪ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܘܝܬ |
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
| ܡܘܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܐܤܬܒܪܬ ܡܢܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ |
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
| ܐܦܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܩܒܠܬܗ ܘܝܠܦܬܗ ܐܠܐ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
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.
| ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܘܦܟܝ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܕܒܝܗܘܕܝܘܬܐ ܕܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܪܕܦ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܕܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܪܒ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ |
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.
| ܘܡܬܝܬܪ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܝܗܘܕܝܘܬܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܢܝ ܫܢܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܘܗܡܝ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܛܐܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܐܒܗܝ |
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
| ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܦܪܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܟܪܤ ܐܡܝ ܘܩܪܢܝ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ |
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
| ܕܢܓܠܐ ܒܪܗ ܒܝ ܕܐܤܒܪܝܘܗܝ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܠܐ ܓܠܝܬ ܠܒܤܪܐ ܘܠܕܡܐ |
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.
| ܘܠܐ ܐܙܠܬ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܘܬ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠܬ ܠܐܪܒܝܐ ܘܬܘܒ ܗܦܟܬ ܠܕܪܡܤܘܩ |
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
| ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܠܬ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܙܠܬ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܐܚܙܐ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܘܩܘܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܚܡܫܬܥܤܪ |
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
| ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ |
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
| ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܟܕܒ ܐܢܐ |
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
| ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܤܘܪܝܐ ܘܕܩܝܠܝܩܝܐ |
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
| ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܝ ܒܐܦܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ |
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
| ܐܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܪܕܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܡܤܒܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܙܒܢܐ ܡܤܚܦ ܗܘܐ |
24 So they glorified God in me.
| ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
