< Galatians 1 >

1 Paul, an emissary—not from men, nor through man, but through Yeshua the Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
παυλος αποστολος ουκ απ ανθρωπων ουδε δι ανθρωπου αλλα δια ιησου χριστου και θεου πατρος του εγειραντος αυτον εκ νεκρων
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
και οι συν εμοι παντες αδελφοι ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
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)
του δοντος εαυτον περι των αμαρτιων ημων οπως εξεληται ημας εκ του ενεστωτος αιωνος πονηρου κατα το θελημα του θεου και πατρος ημων (aiōn g165)
5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Messiah to a different “good news”,
θαυμαζω οτι ουτως ταχεως μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντος υμας εν χαριτι χριστου εις ετερον ευαγγελιον
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Messiah.
ο ουκ εστιν αλλο ει μη τινες εισιν οι ταρασσοντες υμας και θελοντες μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should proclaim to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου ευαγγελιζηται υμιν παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν αναθεμα εστω
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.
ως προειρηκαμεν και αρτι παλιν λεγω ει τις υμας ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε αναθεμα εστω
10 For am I now seeking the favour 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 Messiah.
αρτι γαρ ανθρωπους πειθω η τον θεον η ζητω ανθρωποις αρεσκειν ει γαρ ετι ανθρωποις ηρεσκον χριστου δουλος ουκ αν ημην
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua the Messiah.
ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην αλλα δι αποκαλυψεως ιησου χριστου
13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
ηκουσατε γαρ την εμην αναστροφην ποτε εν τω ιουδαισμω οτι καθ υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του θεου και επορθουν αυτην
14 I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age amongst my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
και προεκοπτον εν τω ιουδαισμω υπερ πολλους συνηλικιωτας εν τω γενει μου περισσοτερως ζηλωτης υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
οτε δε ευδοκησεν ο θεος ο αφορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might proclaim him amongst the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
αποκαλυψαι τον υιον αυτου εν εμοι ινα ευαγγελιζωμαι αυτον εν τοις εθνεσιν ευθεως ου προσανεθεμην σαρκι και αιματι
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were emissaries before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
ουδε ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα προς τους προ εμου αποστολους αλλα απηλθον εις αραβιαν και παλιν υπεστρεψα εις δαμασκον
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι πετρον και επεμεινα προς αυτον ημερας δεκαπεντε
19 But of the other emissaries I saw no one except Jacob, the Lord’s brother.
ετερον δε των αποστολων ουκ ειδον ει μη ιακωβον τον αδελφον του κυριου
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
α δε γραφω υμιν ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
επειτα ηλθον εις τα κλιματα της συριας και της κιλικιας
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Messiah,
ημην δε αγνοουμενος τω προσωπω ταις εκκλησιαις της ιουδαιας ταις εν χριστω
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
μονον δε ακουοντες ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημας ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει
24 So they glorified God in me.
και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον
