< Galatians 1 >
1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
2 and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; (aiōn )
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ (aiōn )
5 to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn )
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (aiōn )
6 I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
ⲋ̅ϯⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
7 which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲙⲛⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
8 But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ
9 As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲣⲡϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ
10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲛⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲏ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
11 But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲓⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓϩⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲛⲁⲧⲁϭⲟⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ
15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲟⲣϫⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲉⲓⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲧ
16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϭⲗⲡ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ ⲉⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⲥⲛⲟϥ
17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲁϩⲏ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲕⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓϭⲱ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲏ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
19 but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϭⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛϯϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ
21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲓⲕⲗⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛⲧ ⲕⲓⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ
22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲟ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲓⲧⲉ
24 and they glorified God in me.
