Galatians 1

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

بُولُسُ، رَسُولٌ لاَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلاَ بِإِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ الآبِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ،

And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

وَجَمِيعُ الإِخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي، إِلَى كَنَائِسِ غَلاَطِيَّةَ:

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلاَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ، وَمِنْ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ،

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:

الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا، لِيُنْقِذَنَا مِنَ الْعَالَمِ الْحَاضِرِ الشِّرِّيرِ حَسَبَ إِرَادَةِ اللهِ وَأَبِينَا،

To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

الَّذِي لَهُ الْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

إِنِّي أَتَعَجَّبُ أَنَّكُمْ تَنْتَقِلُونَ هكَذَا سَرِيعًا عَنِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ بِنِعْمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ إِلَى إِنْجِيل آخَرَ!

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

لَيْسَ هُوَ آخَرَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ قَوْمٌ يُزْعِجُونَكُمْ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُحَوِّلُوا إِنْجِيلَ الْمَسِيحِ.

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.

وَلكِنْ إِنْ بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ نَحْنُ أَوْ مَلاَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِغَيْرِ مَا بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ، فَلْيَكُنْ «أَنَاثِيمَا»!

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.

كَمَا سَبَقْنَا فَقُلْنَا أَقُولُ الآنَ أَيْضًا: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِغَيْرِ مَا قَبِلْتُمْ، فَلْيَكُنْ «أَنَاثِيمَا»!

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.

أَفَأَسْتَعْطِفُ الآنَ النَّاسَ أَمِ اللهَ؟ أَمْ أَطْلُبُ أَنْ أُرْضِيَ النَّاسَ؟ فَلَوْ كُنْتُ بَعْدُ أُرْضِي النَّاسَ، لَمْ أَكُنْ عَبْدًا لِلْمَسِيحِ.

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

وَأُعَرِّفُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ الإِنْجِيلَ الَّذِي بَشَّرْتُ بِهِ، أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِحَسَبِ إِنْسَانٍ.

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

لأَنِّي لَمْ أَقْبَلْهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ إِنْسَانٍ وَلاَ عُلِّمْتُهُ. بَلْ بِإِعْلاَنِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

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:

فَإِنَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِسِيرَتِي قَبْلاً فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَضْطَهِدُ كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ بِإِفْرَاطٍ وَأُتْلِفُهَا.

And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

وَكُنْتُ أَتَقَدَّمُ فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَتْرَابِي فِي جِنْسِي، إِذْ كُنْتُ أَوْفَرَ غَيْرَةً فِي تَقْلِيدَاتِ آبَائِي.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

وَلكِنْ لَمَّا سَرَّ اللهَ الَّذِي أَفْرَزَنِي مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي، وَدَعَانِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

أَنْ يُعْلِنَ ابْنَهُ فِيَّ لأُبَشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، لِلْوَقْتِ لَمْ أَسْتَشِرْ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا

Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

وَلاَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى الرُّسُلِ الَّذِينَ قَبْلِي، بَلِ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ أَيْضًا إِلَى دِمَشْقَ.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ سِنِينَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لأَتَعَرَّفَ بِبُطْرُسَ، فَمَكَثْتُ عِنْدَهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا.

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

وَلكِنَّنِي لَمْ أَرَ غَيْرَهُ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ إِلاَّ يَعْقُوبَ أَخَا الرَّبِّ.

Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

وَالَّذِي أَكْتُبُ بِهِ إِلَيْكُمْ هُوَذَا قُدَّامَ اللهِ أَنِّي لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ فِيهِ.

Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ جِئْتُ إِلَى أَقَالِيمِ سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ.

And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

وَلكِنَّنِي كُنْتُ غَيْرَ مَعْرُوفٍ بِالْوَجْهِ عِنْدَ كَنَائِسِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ.

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ:« أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ يَضْطَهِدُنَا قَبْلاً، يُبَشِّرُ الآنَ بِالإِيمَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلاً يُتْلِفُهُ».

And they glorified God in me.

فَكَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ فِيَّ.
