| 1 بُولُسُ، رَسُولٌ لاَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلاَ بِإِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ الآبِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ، | 1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) |
|
| 2 وَجَمِيعُ الإِخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي، إِلَى كَنَائِسِ غَلاَطِيَّةَ: | 2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: |
|
| 3 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلاَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ، وَمِنْ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، | 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, |
|
4 الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا، لِيُنْقِذَنَا مِنَ الْعَالَمِ الْحَاضِرِ الشِّرِّيرِ حَسَبَ إِرَادَةِ اللهِ وَأَبِينَا،  | 4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: |
|
| 5 الَّذِي لَهُ الْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ. | 5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
|
| 6 إِنِّي أَتَعَجَّبُ أَنَّكُمْ تَنْتَقِلُونَ هكَذَا سَرِيعًا عَنِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ بِنِعْمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ إِلَى إِنْجِيل آخَرَ! | 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: |
|
| 7 لَيْسَ هُوَ آخَرَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ قَوْمٌ يُزْعِجُونَكُمْ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُحَوِّلُوا إِنْجِيلَ الْمَسِيحِ. | 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. |
|
| 8 وَلكِنْ إِنْ بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ نَحْنُ أَوْ مَلاَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِغَيْرِ مَا بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ، فَلْيَكُنْ «أَنَاثِيمَا»! | 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. |
|
| 9 كَمَا سَبَقْنَا فَقُلْنَا أَقُولُ الآنَ أَيْضًا: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِغَيْرِ مَا قَبِلْتُمْ، فَلْيَكُنْ «أَنَاثِيمَا»! | 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. |
|
| 10 أَفَأَسْتَعْطِفُ الآنَ النَّاسَ أَمِ اللهَ؟ أَمْ أَطْلُبُ أَنْ أُرْضِيَ النَّاسَ؟ فَلَوْ كُنْتُ بَعْدُ أُرْضِي النَّاسَ، لَمْ أَكُنْ عَبْدًا لِلْمَسِيحِ. | 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. |
|
| 11 وَأُعَرِّفُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ الإِنْجِيلَ الَّذِي بَشَّرْتُ بِهِ، أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِحَسَبِ إِنْسَانٍ. | 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. |
|
| 12 لأَنِّي لَمْ أَقْبَلْهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ إِنْسَانٍ وَلاَ عُلِّمْتُهُ. بَلْ بِإِعْلاَنِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. | 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
|
| 13 فَإِنَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِسِيرَتِي قَبْلاً فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَضْطَهِدُ كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ بِإِفْرَاطٍ وَأُتْلِفُهَا. | 13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: |
|
| 14 وَكُنْتُ أَتَقَدَّمُ فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَتْرَابِي فِي جِنْسِي، إِذْ كُنْتُ أَوْفَرَ غَيْرَةً فِي تَقْلِيدَاتِ آبَائِي. | 14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. |
|
| 15 وَلكِنْ لَمَّا سَرَّ اللهَ الَّذِي أَفْرَزَنِي مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي، وَدَعَانِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ | 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, |
|
| 16 أَنْ يُعْلِنَ ابْنَهُ فِيَّ لأُبَشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، لِلْوَقْتِ لَمْ أَسْتَشِرْ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا | 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: |
|
| 17 وَلاَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى الرُّسُلِ الَّذِينَ قَبْلِي، بَلِ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ أَيْضًا إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. | 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. |
|
| 18 ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ سِنِينَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لأَتَعَرَّفَ بِبُطْرُسَ، فَمَكَثْتُ عِنْدَهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا. | 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. |
|
| 19 وَلكِنَّنِي لَمْ أَرَ غَيْرَهُ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ إِلاَّ يَعْقُوبَ أَخَا الرَّبِّ. | 19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. |
|
| 20 وَالَّذِي أَكْتُبُ بِهِ إِلَيْكُمْ هُوَذَا قُدَّامَ اللهِ أَنِّي لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ فِيهِ. | 20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. |
|
| 21 وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ جِئْتُ إِلَى أَقَالِيمِ سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ. | 21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; |
|
| 22 وَلكِنَّنِي كُنْتُ غَيْرَ مَعْرُوفٍ بِالْوَجْهِ عِنْدَ كَنَائِسِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ. | 22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: |
|
| 23 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ: «أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ يَضْطَهِدُنَا قَبْلاً، يُبَشِّرُ الآنَ بِالإِيمَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلاً يُتْلِفُهُ». | 23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. |
|
| 24 فَكَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ فِيَّ. | 24 And they glorified God in me. |
