< Galatians 1 >

1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [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 brethren 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, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; (aiōn g165)
الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَنَا مِنَ الْعَالَمِ الْحَاضِرِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَفْقاً لِمَشِيئَةِ إِلَهِنَا وَأَبِينَا. (aiōn g165)٤
5 to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
لَهُ الْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين! (aiōn g165)٥
6 I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
عَجَباً! كَيْفَ تَتَحَوَّلُونَ بِمِثْلِ هذِهِ السُّرْعَةِ عَنِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ بِنِعْمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ، وَتَنْصَرِفُونَ إِلَى إِنْجِيلٍ غَرِيبٍ؟٦
7 which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
لاَ أَعْنِي أَنَّ هُنَالِكَ إِنْجِيلاً آخَرَ، بَلْ إِنَّمَا هُنَالِكَ بَعْضُ الَّذِينَ يُثِيرُونَ الْبَلْبَلَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ، رَاغِبِينَ فِي تَحْوِيرِ إِنْجِيلِ الْمَسِيحِ.٧
8 But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
وَلَكِنْ، حَتَّى لَوْ بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ نَحْنُ، أَوْ بَشَّرَكُمْ مَلاَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، بِغَيْرِ الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ بِهِ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً!٨
9 As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
وَكَمَا سَبَقَ أَنْ قُلْنَا، أُكَرِّرُ الْقَوْلَ الآنَ أَيْضاً: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِإِنْجِيلٍ غَيْرِ الَّذِي قَبِلْتُمُوهُ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً!٩
10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
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 let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
وَأُعْلِمُكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنَّ الإِنْجِيلَ الَّذِي بَشَّرْتُكُمْ بِهِ لَيْسَ إِنْجِيلاً بَشَرِيّاً.١١
12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
فَلاَ أَنَا تَسَلَّمْتُهُ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلاَ تَلَقَّنْتُهُ، بَلْ جَاءَنِي بِإِعْلاَنٍ مِنْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.١٢
13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively 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 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines 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 God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
وَلَكِنْ، لَمَّا سُرَّ اللهُ، الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ أَفْرَزَنِي وَأَنَا فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي ثُمَّ دَعَانِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ،١٥
16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
أَنْ يُعْلِنَ ابْنَهُ فِيَّ لأُبَشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، فِي الْحَالِ لَمْ أَسْتَشِرْ لَحْماً وَدَماً،١٦
17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again 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 make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
ثُمَّ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ سَنَوَاتٍ، لأَتَعَرَّفَ بِبُطْرُسَ. وَقَدْ أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً.١٨
19 but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أُقَابِلْ غَيْرَهُ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ إِلاَّ يَعْقُوبَ، أَخَا الرَّبِّ.١٩
20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
إِنَّ مَا أَكْتُبُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ هُنَا، وَهَا أَنَا أَمَامَ اللهِ، لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ فِيهِ.٢٠
21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، جِئْتُ إِلَى بِلاَدِ سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ.٢١
22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
إِلاَّ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ غَيْرَ مَعْرُوفٍ شَخْصِيّاً لَدَى كَنَائِسِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي هِيَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ.٢٢
23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
وَإِنَّمَا كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ «أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي السَّابِقِ يَضْطَهِدُنَا، يُبَشِّرُ الآنَ بِإِنْجِيلِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْعَى قَبْلاً إِلَى تَخْرِيبِهِ!»٢٣
24 and they glorified God in me.
فَكَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ بِسَبَبِي.٢٤
