< غَلاطِيَّة 1 >

مِنْ بُولُسَ، وَهُوَ رَسُولٌ، لاَ مِنْ قِبَلِ النَّاسِ وَلاَ بِسُلْطَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ بِسُلْطَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ الآبِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، ١ 1
Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ الإِخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي، إِلَى الْكَنَائِسِ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ غَلاَطِيَّةَ. ٢ 2
and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، ٣ 3
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَنَا مِنَ الْعَالَمِ الْحَاضِرِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَفْقاً لِمَشِيئَةِ إِلَهِنَا وَأَبِينَا. (aiōn g165) ٤ 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—
لَهُ الْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين! (aiōn g165) ٥ 5
to whom be the glory for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
عَجَباً! كَيْفَ تَتَحَوَّلُونَ بِمِثْلِ هذِهِ السُّرْعَةِ عَنِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ بِنِعْمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ، وَتَنْصَرِفُونَ إِلَى إِنْجِيلٍ غَرِيبٍ؟ ٦ 6
I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
لاَ أَعْنِي أَنَّ هُنَالِكَ إِنْجِيلاً آخَرَ، بَلْ إِنَّمَا هُنَالِكَ بَعْضُ الَّذِينَ يُثِيرُونَ الْبَلْبَلَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ، رَاغِبِينَ فِي تَحْوِيرِ إِنْجِيلِ الْمَسِيحِ. ٧ 7
but there is not another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
وَلَكِنْ، حَتَّى لَوْ بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ نَحْنُ، أَوْ بَشَّرَكُمْ مَلاَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، بِغَيْرِ الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ بِهِ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً! ٨ 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.
وَكَمَا سَبَقَ أَنْ قُلْنَا، أُكَرِّرُ الْقَوْلَ الآنَ أَيْضاً: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِإِنْجِيلٍ غَيْرِ الَّذِي قَبِلْتُمُوهُ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً! ٩ 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.
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 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.
وَأُعْلِمُكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنَّ الإِنْجِيلَ الَّذِي بَشَّرْتُكُمْ بِهِ لَيْسَ إِنْجِيلاً بَشَرِيّاً. ١١ 11
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
فَلاَ أَنَا تَسَلَّمْتُهُ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلاَ تَلَقَّنْتُهُ، بَلْ جَاءَنِي بِإِعْلاَنٍ مِنْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. ١٢ 12
For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِسِيرَتِي الْمَاضِيَةِ فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، كَيْفَ كُنْتُ أَضْطَهِدُ كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ مُتَطَرِّفاً إِلَى أَقْصَى حَدٍّ، سَاعِياً إِلَى تَخْرِيبِهَا، ١٣ 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.
وَكَيْفَ كُنْتُ مُتَفَوِّقاً فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ جِيلِي فِي أُمَّتِي لِكَوْنِي غَيُوراً أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جِدّاً عَلَى تَقَالِيدِ آبَائِي. ١٤ 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.
وَلَكِنْ، لَمَّا سُرَّ اللهُ، الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ أَفْرَزَنِي وَأَنَا فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي ثُمَّ دَعَانِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ، ١٥ 15
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
أَنْ يُعْلِنَ ابْنَهُ فِيَّ لأُبَشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، فِي الْحَالِ لَمْ أَسْتَشِرْ لَحْماً وَدَماً، ١٦ 16
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
وَلاَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لأُقَابِلَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا رُسُلاً مِنْ قَبْلِي، بَلِ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى بِلاَدِ الْعَرَبِ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. ١٧ 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.
ثُمَّ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ سَنَوَاتٍ، لأَتَعَرَّفَ بِبُطْرُسَ. وَقَدْ أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً. ١٨ 18
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أُقَابِلْ غَيْرَهُ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ إِلاَّ يَعْقُوبَ، أَخَا الرَّبِّ. ١٩ 19
But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
إِنَّ مَا أَكْتُبُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ هُنَا، وَهَا أَنَا أَمَامَ اللهِ، لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ فِيهِ. ٢٠ 20
Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، جِئْتُ إِلَى بِلاَدِ سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ. ٢١ 21
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
إِلاَّ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ غَيْرَ مَعْرُوفٍ شَخْصِيّاً لَدَى كَنَائِسِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي هِيَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ. ٢٢ 22
I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
وَإِنَّمَا كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ «أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي السَّابِقِ يَضْطَهِدُنَا، يُبَشِّرُ الآنَ بِإِنْجِيلِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْعَى قَبْلاً إِلَى تَخْرِيبِهِ!» ٢٣ 23
but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
فَكَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ بِسَبَبِي. ٢٤ 24
So they glorified God in me.
