Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
| ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܐܪܒܥܤܪܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܤܠܩܬ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܥܡ ܒܪܢܒܐ ܘܕܒܪܬ ܥܡܝ ܠܛܛܘܤ |
2 I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
| ܤܠܩܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܘܓܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܡܟܪܙ ܐܢܐ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܘܚܘܝܬܗ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܡܕܡ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܝܢܝ ܘܠܗܘܢ ܕܡ ܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܪܗܛܬ ܐܘ ܪܗܛ ܐܢܐ |
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
| ܐܦ ܛܛܘܤ ܕܥܡܝ ܕܐܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐܢܤ ܕܢܓܙܘܪ |
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,
| ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܕܥܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܢܓܫܘܢ ܚܐܪܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܫܥܒܕܘܢܢܝ |
5 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.
| ܐܦܠܐ ܡܠܐ ܫܥܐ ܐܬܪܡܝܢ ܠܫܘܥܒܕܗܘܢ ܕܫܪܪܗ ܕܤܒܪܬܐ ܢܩܘܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ |
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܐܦܝ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܘܤܦܘ ܠܝ |
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
| ܐܠܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܚܙܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܬܗܝܡܢܬ ܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܬܗܝܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܒܓܙܘܪܬܐ |
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
| ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܚܦܛ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܒܫܠܝܚܘܬܐ ܕܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܚܦܛ ܐܦ ܠܝ ܒܫܠܝܚܘܬܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ |
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
| ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥܘ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܕܐ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܝܗܒܘ ܠܝ ܘܠܒܪܢܒܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܒܓܙܘܪܬܐ |
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
| ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܥܗܕܝܢܢ ܘܐܬܒܛܠ ܠܝ ܕܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܐܥܒܕܝܗ |
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
| ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܐܢܛܝܘܟܝ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ ܐܟܤܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܬܬܩܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ |
12 For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
| ܕܥܕܠܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܥܡ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܟܠ ܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܕܝܢ ܢܓܕ ܗܘܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܦܪܫ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ |
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
| ܘܐܬܪܡܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܠܗܕܐ ܐܦ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܪܢܒܐ ܐܬܕܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܝܗܘܢ |
14 But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
| ܘܟܕ ܚܙܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܒܫܪܪܗ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܠܥܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܪܡܐܝܬ ܚܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܠܐ ܝܗܘܕܐܝܬ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܠܨ ܐܢܬ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐܝܬ ܢܚܘܢ |
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
| ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܢ ܟܝܢܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܢܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܚܛܝܐ |
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܒܗ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܝܡܢܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܙܕܕܩ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܐ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܟܠ ܒܤܪ |
17 But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
| ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܒܥܝܢܢ ܕܢܙܕܕܩ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܫܬܟܚܢ ܠܢ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܡܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܚܤ |
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
| ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܬܪܬ ܬܘܒ ܠܗܝܢ ܒܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܘܝܬ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܕܥܒܪ ܥܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܢܐ |
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
| ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܕܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܚܐ |
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives 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.
| ܘܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܙܩܝܦ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܝ ܒܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܗܢܐ ܕܗܫܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܚܒܢ ܘܝܗܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܚܠܦܝܢ |
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
| ܠܐ ܛܠܡ ܐܢܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܝܕ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܝ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܓܢ ܡܝܬ |
