Pāvila Vēstule Galatiešiem 1
1 Pāvils, apustulis ne no cilvēkiem, nedz caur kādu cilvēku, bet caur Jēzu Kristu un Dievu To Tēvu, kas To uzmodinājis no miroņiem,
To the churches in Galatia, from Paul, an apostle whose commission is not from any human authority and is given, not by human beings, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead;
2 Un visi brāļi, kas pie manis ir, Galatijas draudzēm.
and from all the followers of the Lord here.
3 Žēlastība lai ir jums un miers no Dieva, Tā Tēva, un mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus,
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you and give you peace.
4 Kas pats ir nodevies par mūsu grēkiem, ka mūs izrautu no šās tagadējas niknās pasaules pēc mūsu Dieva un Tēva prāta. (aiōn g165)
For Christ, to rescue us from this present wicked age, gave himself for our sins, in accordance with the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be ascribed all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Es brīnos, ka jūs tik drīz no tā, kas jūs ir aicinājis caur Kristus žēlastību, topat nogriezti uz citu evaņģēliju;
I am astonished at your so soon deserting him, who called you through the love of Christ, for a different “good news,”
7 Un tomēr cita nav, bet tikai kādi rodas, kas jūs sajauc un Kristus evaņģēliju grib pārgrozīt.
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.
8 Bet ja arī mēs, vai eņģelis no debesīm jums pasludinātu citu evaņģēliju pār to, ko esam pasludinājuši, tas lai ir nolādēts.
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!
9 Itin kā jau esam sacījuši, tā es nu vēl reiz saku: ja kas jums pasludina citu evaņģēliju pār to, ko jūs esat dabūjuši, tas lai ir nolādēts.
We have said it before, and I repeat it now – If anyone tells you a “good news” other than that which you received, may he be accursed!
10 Jo vai es tagad cilvēkiem runāju pa prātam vai Dievam? Jeb vai es meklēju cilvēkiem patikt? Jo ja es cilvēkiem patiktu, tad es nebūtu Kristus kalps.
Is this, I ask, trying to conciliate people, or God? Am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I should not be a servant of Christ.
11 Bet es jums daru zināmu, brāļi, ka tas evaņģēlijs, ko esmu pasludinājis, nav pēc cilvēku prāta.
I remind you, friends, that the good news which I told is no mere human invention.
12 Jo es to arī neesmu dabūjis nedz mācījies no cilvēka, bet caur Jēzus Kristus parādīšanu.
I, at least, did not receive it from any human being, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through a revelation made by Jesus Christ.
13 Jo jūs jau sen esat dzirdējuši par manu dzīvošanu Jūdu ticībā, ka Dieva draudzi pārlieku esmu vajājis un postījis,
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 tried to destroy it,
14 Un biju pārāks Jūdu ticībā pār daudz citiem, kas manā ciltī bija manos gados, un biju tēvišķu iestādījumu pārlieku dedzīgs pārstāvētājs.
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.
15 Bet kad Dievam, kas mani no mātes miesām izredzējis un caur Savu žēlastību aicinājis, patika,
But when God, who had set me apart even before my birth, and who called me by his love,
16 Savu Dēlu parādīt iekš manis, ka es Viņa evaņģēliju sludinātu starp pagāniem, tad es padoma neņēmos no miesām un asinīm,
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,
17 Nedz gāju atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi pie tiem, kas priekš manis bija apustuļi, bet tūdaļ nogāju uz Arābiju un atkal atgriezos atpakaļ uz Damasku.
or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me, I went to Arabia, and came back again to Damascus.
18 Pēc tam, pēc trīs gadiem es nogāju uz Jeruzālemi, iepazīties ar Pēteri, un paliku pie tā piecpadsmit dienas.
Three years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem to make the acquaintance of Peter, and I stayed a fortnight with him.
19 Bet citu nevienu no apustuļiem neredzēju, kā vien Jēkabu, Tā Kunga brāli.
I did not, however, see any other apostle, except James, the Master’s brother.
20 Bet ko jums rakstu, redzi, to apliecināju Dieva priekša, ka es nemeloju.
(As to what I am now writing to you, I call God to witness that I am speaking the truth).
21 Pēc tam nācu uz Sīrijas un uz Ķiliķijas zemēm.
Afterwards I went to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Bet no vaiga nebiju pazīstams Jūdu zemes draudzēm, kas ir iekš Kristus.
But I was still unknown even by sight to the Christian churches in Judea;
23 Bet tie to vien bija dzirdējuši, ka tas, kas citkārt mūs vajāja, tagad sludina to ticību, ko tas citkārt postīja.
all that they had heard was – “The man who once persecuted us is now telling the good news of the faith of which he once tried to destroy.”
24 Un tie par mani pagodināja Dievu.
And they praised God for my sake.
