< ܓܠܛܝ̈ܐ 1 >
ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܝܕ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ | 1 |
Paul, an apostle—appointed not by men nor through man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܥܡܝ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܓܠܛܝܐ | 2 |
and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia:
ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ | 3 |
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܚܠܦ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܕܢܦܨܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ (aiōn ) | 4 |
who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father. (aiōn )
ܕܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ (aiōn ) | 5 |
To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
ܡܬܕܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܡܬܗܦܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܠܐܚܪܬܐ ܤܒܪܬܐ | 6 |
I am astonished that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel,
ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܐܝܬ ܕܕܠܚܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܕܢܫܚܠܦܘܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ | 7 |
not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.
ܐܦ ܐܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܤܒܪܢܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܚܪܡ | 8 |
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed!
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܡܪܬ ܘܗܫܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܤܒܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܚܪܡ | 9 |
As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!
ܗܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܡܦܝܤ ܐܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܘ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܫܦܪ ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܫܦܪ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܘܝܬ | 10 |
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
ܡܘܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܐܤܬܒܪܬ ܡܢܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ | 11 |
But I make known to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached did not originate with man.
ܐܦܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܩܒܠܬܗ ܘܝܠܦܬܗ ܐܠܐ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ | 12 |
For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܘܦܟܝ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܕܒܝܗܘܕܝܘܬܐ ܕܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܪܕܦ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܕܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܪܒ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ | 13 |
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
ܘܡܬܝܬܪ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܝܗܘܕܝܘܬܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܢܝ ܫܢܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܘܗܡܝ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܛܐܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܐܒܗܝ | 14 |
I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, being far more zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܦܪܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܟܪܤ ܐܡܝ ܘܩܪܢܝ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ | 15 |
But when God, who set me apart before I was born and called me by his grace, was pleased
ܕܢܓܠܐ ܒܪܗ ܒܝ ܕܐܤܒܪܝܘܗܝ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܠܐ ܓܠܝܬ ܠܒܤܪܐ ܘܠܕܡܐ | 16 |
to reveal his Son in me so that I could preach good news about him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
ܘܠܐ ܐܙܠܬ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܘܬ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠܬ ܠܐܪܒܝܐ ܘܬܘܒ ܗܦܟܬ ܠܕܪܡܤܘܩ | 17 |
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܠܬ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܙܠܬ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܐܚܙܐ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܘܩܘܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܚܡܫܬܥܤܪ | 18 |
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Peter, and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ | 19 |
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܟܕܒ ܐܢܐ | 20 |
(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܤܘܪܝܐ ܘܕܩܝܠܝܩܝܐ | 21 |
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܝ ܒܐܦܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ | 22 |
But I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
ܐܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܪܕܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܡܤܒܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܙܒܢܐ ܡܤܚܦ ܗܘܐ | 23 |
They were only hearing people say, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy.”
So they were glorifying God because of me.
