gālātinaḥ 1
1 manuṣyebhyo nahi manuṣyairapi nahi kintu yīśukhrīṣṭena mṛtagaṇamadhyāt tasyotthāpayitrā pitreśvareṇa ca prerito yo'haṁ paulaḥ so'haṁ
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus (the) Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 matsahavarttino bhrātaraśca vayaṁ gālātīyadeśasthāḥ samitīḥ prati patraṁ likhāmaḥ|
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 pitreśvareṇāsmāṁka prabhunā yīśunā khrīṣṭena ca yuṣmabhyam anugrahaḥ śāntiśca dīyatāṁ|
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah,
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)
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 khrīṣṭasyānugraheṇa yo yuṣmān āhūtavān tasmānnivṛtya yūyam atitūrṇam anyaṁ susaṁvādam anvavarttata tatrāhaṁ vismayaṁ manye|
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Messiah to a different gospel;
7 so'nyasusaṁvādaḥ susaṁvādo nahi kintu kecit mānavā yuṣmān cañcalīkurvvanti khrīṣṭīyasusaṁvādasya viparyyayaṁ karttuṁ ceṣṭante ca|
and there is not another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the gospel of Messiah.
8 yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau yaḥ susaṁvādo'smābhi rghoṣitastasmād anyaḥ susaṁvādo'smākaṁ svargīyadūtānāṁ vā madhye kenacid yadi ghoṣyate tarhi sa śapto bhavatu|
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 pūrvvaṁ yadvad akathayāma, idānīmahaṁ punastadvat kathayāmi yūyaṁ yaṁ susaṁvādaṁ gṛhītavantastasmād anyo yena kenacid yuṣmatsannidhau ghoṣyate sa śapto bhavatu|
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 sāmprataṁ kamaham anunayāmi? īśvaraṁ kiṁvā mānavān? ahaṁ kiṁ mānuṣebhyo rocituṁ yate? yadyaham idānīmapi mānuṣebhyo ruruciṣeya tarhi khrīṣṭasya paricārako na bhavāmi|
For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Messiah.
11 he bhrātaraḥ, mayā yaḥ susaṁvādo ghoṣitaḥ sa mānuṣānna labdhastadahaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmi|
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 ahaṁ kasmāccit manuṣyāt taṁ na gṛhītavān na vā śikṣitavān kevalaṁ yīśoḥ khrīṣṭasya prakāśanādeva|
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus (the) Messiah.
13 purā yihūdimatācārī yadāham āsaṁ tadā yādṛśam ācaraṇam akaravam īśvarasya samitiṁ pratyatīvopadravaṁ kurvvan yādṛk tāṁ vyanāśayaṁ tadavaśyaṁ śrutaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ|
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 aparañca pūrvvapuruṣaparamparāgateṣu vākyeṣvanyāpekṣātīvāsaktaḥ san ahaṁ yihūdidharmmate mama samavayaskān bahūn svajātīyān atyaśayi|
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 kiñca ya īśvaro mātṛgarbhasthaṁ māṁ pṛthak kṛtvā svīyānugraheṇāhūtavān
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 sa yadā mayi svaputraṁ prakāśituṁ bhinnadeśīyānāṁ samīpe bhayā taṁ ghoṣayituñcābhyalaṣat tadāhaṁ kravyaśoṇitābhyāṁ saha na mantrayitvā
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 pūrvvaniyuktānāṁ preritānāṁ samīpaṁ yirūśālamaṁ na gatvāravadeśaṁ gatavān paścāt tatsthānād dammeṣakanagaraṁ parāvṛtyāgatavān|
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.
18 tataḥ paraṁ varṣatraye vyatīte'haṁ pitaraṁ sambhāṣituṁ yirūśālamaṁ gatvā pañcadaśadināni tena sārddham atiṣṭhaṁ|
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 kintu taṁ prabho rbhrātaraṁ yākūbañca vinā preritānāṁ nānyaṁ kamapyapaśyaṁ|
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 yānyetāni vākyāni mayā likhyante tānyanṛtāni na santi tad īśvaro jānāti|
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 tataḥ param ahaṁ suriyāṁ kilikiyāñca deśau gatavān|
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 tadānīṁ yihūdādeśasthānāṁ khrīṣṭasya samitīnāṁ lokāḥ sākṣāt mama paricayamaprāpya kevalaṁ janaśrutimimāṁ labdhavantaḥ,
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Messiah,
23 yo janaḥ pūrvvam asmān pratyupadravamakarot sa tadā yaṁ dharmmamanāśayat tamevedānīṁ pracārayatīti|
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 tasmāt te māmadhīśvaraṁ dhanyamavadan|
And they glorified God because of me.
