Galatským 1
1 Pavel apoštol, (ne od lidí, ani skrze člověka, ale skrze Jezukrista, a Boha Otce, kterýž jej vzkřísil z mrtvých, )
[I], Paul, [write this letter to you. I remind you that I am] an apostle. That is not because a group of people [appointed me], nor because a human being [sent me to be an apostle]. Instead, Jesus Christ and God [our heavenly] Father, who caused Jesus to become alive again after he died, have [appointed and] sent [me to be an apostle].
2 I ti, kteříž jsou se mnou, všickni bratří sborům Galatským:
All the fellow believers [who are here] with me [approve of this message that I am writing. I am sending this letter] to the congregations that [are] in Galatia [province].
3 Milost vám a pokoj od Boha Otce a Pána našeho Jezukrista,
[I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
4 Kterýž vydal sebe samého za hříchy naše, aby nás vytrhl z tohoto přítomného věku zlého, podle vůle Boha a Otce našeho, (aiōn g165)
Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
6 Divím se tomu, že tak rychle od toho, kterýž vás povolal v milost Kristovu, uchýlili jste se k jinému evangelium,
I am very disappointed [IRO] that so soon [after you trusted in Christ] you have turned away from [God]. He chose you in order that [you might have what] Christ freely/kindly gives. I am also disappointed that so soon you are believing a different [message which some say is] “good news.”
7 Kteréž není jiné, ale jsou někteří, ješto vás kormoutí a převrátiti chtějí evangelium Kristovo.
Their message is not a true message. [What is happening is that] certain persons are confusing your [minds]. They are desiring to change the good message (that Christ [revealed/about] Christ) [and are creating another message].
8 Ale bychom pak i my neb anděl s nebe kázal vám mimo to, což jsme vám kázali, prokletý buď.
But even if we [(exc) apostles] or an angel from heaven would tell you a message that is different from the good message that we told you [before], I [appeal to God] that [he] punish such a person [forever].
9 Jakož jsme již pověděli, a ještě znovu pravím: Jestliže by vám kdo co jiného kázal mimo to, což jste přijali, prokletý buď.
As I told you previously, so now I tell you this once more: Someone is telling you [what he says is] a good message, but it is a message that is different from [the good message] that I gave you. So I [appeal to God] that [he] severely punish that person.
10 Nebo lidské-liž věci, čili Boží předkládám? Zdaliž lidem se líbiti hledám? Kdybych se zajisté ještě lidem zaliboval, služebník Kristův bych nebyl.
[I said that] because [RHQ] I do not desire that people approve me, [contrary to what some have said about me]. It is God whom I desire to approve me. [Specifically, I do not say and do] [RHQ] things just to please people. If it were still people whom I was trying to please, then I would not be one who [willingly and completely] serves Christ.
11 Oznamujiť pak vám, bratří, že evangelium to, kteréž kázáno jest ode mne, není podle člověka.
My fellow believers, I want you to know that the message about Christ that I proclaim to people is not one that some person [created/thought up].
12 Nebo aniž jsem já ho přijal od člověka, ani se naučil, ale skrze zjevení Ježíše Krista.
I did not receive this message from a human [messenger], and no [human being] taught it to me. Instead, Jesus Christ revealed it to me.
13 Slýchali jste zajisté o mém obcování někdejším v Židovstvu, kterak jsem se velice protivil církvi Boží a hubil jsem ji,
People have told you how I used to behave when [I practiced] the Jewish religion. They told you that I continually did very harmful things to the groups of believers that God [established], and they told you that I tried to get rid of those people.
14 A že jsem prospíval v Židovstvu nad mnohé mně rovné v pokolení mém, byv velmi horlivý milovník otcovských ustanovení.
I practiced the Jewish religion more thoroughly than many [other Jews] who were my age practiced it. I much more enthusiastically tried to get others to obey the traditions that my ancestors [kept].
15 Ale když se zalíbilo Bohu, kterýž mne byl oddělil z života matky mé a povolal skrze milost svou,
Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
16 Zjeviti Syna svého mně, abych jej kázal mezi pohany, hned jsem se neporadil s tělem a krví;
He wanted me to know that Jesus is (his Son/the man who is also God), so that I would tell others the message about him in regions where non-Jews live. But I did not immediately go to any human beings [SYN] in order to gain [an understanding of that message. I received it directly from Christ!]!
17 Aniž jsem se vrátil do Jeruzaléma k těm, jenž prve byli apoštolé nežli já, ale šel jsem do Arabie, přišel jsem pak zase do Damašku.
I did not [immediately] leave Damascus and go to Jerusalem [for that purpose] to those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away to Arabia [region, a desert area]. Later I returned once more to Damascus [city].
18 Potom po třech letech navrátil jsem se do Jeruzaléma, abych navštívil Petra, a pobyl jsem u něho patnácte dní.
Then three years after [God revealed this good message to me], I went up to Jerusalem in order that I might meet Peter. But I stayed with him for [only] 15 days, [which was not long enough for him to teach me thoroughly about Christ].
19 Jiného pak z apoštolů žádného jsem neviděl než Jakuba, bratra Páně.
I also saw James, the brother of our Lord [Jesus and the leader of the believers there, but] I did not see any other apostle.
20 Cožť pak píši vám, aj, před Bohem osvědčuji, žeť neklamám.
God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
21 Potom přišel jsem do krajin Syrských a Cilických.
After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
22 A nebyl jsem známý osobou sborům Židovským, kteříž byli v Kristu,
[At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
23 Než toliko slýchali o mně: Že ten, kterýž se nám někdy protivil, již nyní káže víru, kterouž někdy hubil.
They only heard [others say about me] repeatedly, “[Paul], the one who was formerly doing harmful things to us, is now telling the [same message] which we believe and which formerly he was trying (to destroy/to cause people to stop believing)!”
24 A slavili ve mně Boha.
And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
