Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through a man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
manuṣyebhyo nahi manuṣyairapi nahi kintu yīśukhrīṣṭena mṛtagaṇamadhyāt tasyotthāpayitrā pitreśvareṇa ca prerito yo'haṁ paulaḥ so'haṁ
2 and all the brothers with me, to the congregations in Galatia:
matsahavarttino bhrātaraśca vayaṁ gālātīyadeśasthāḥ samitīḥ prati patraṁ likhāmaḥ|
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
pitreśvareṇāsmāṁka prabhunā yīśunā khrīṣṭena ca yuṣmabhyam anugrahaḥ śāntiśca dīyatāṁ|
4 who gave Himself for our sins, so that He might deliver us out of this present malignant age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
asmākaṁ tāteśvaresyecchānusāreṇa varttamānāt kutsitasaṁsārād asmān nistārayituṁ yo (aiōn g165)
yīśurasmākaṁ pāpahetorātmotsargaṁ kṛtavān sa sarvvadā dhanyo bhūyāt| tathāstu| (aiōn g165)
6 I am sadly surprised that you are turning away so quickly from the one who called you by the grace of Christ, to a different gospel
khrīṣṭasyānugraheṇa yo yuṣmān āhūtavān tasmānnivṛtya yūyam atitūrṇam anyaṁ susaṁvādam anvavarttata tatrāhaṁ vismayaṁ manye|
7 —it is not a mere variation, but certain people are unsettling you and wanting to distort the Gospel of the Christ.
so'nyasusaṁvādaḥ susaṁvādo nahi kintu kecit mānavā yuṣmān cañcalīkurvvanti khrīṣṭīyasusaṁvādasya viparyyayaṁ karttuṁ ceṣṭante ca|
8 Now even if we, or an angel out of heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed!
yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau yaḥ susaṁvādo'smābhi rghoṣitastasmād anyaḥ susaṁvādo'smākaṁ svargīyadūtānāṁ vā madhye kenacid yadi ghoṣyate tarhi sa śapto bhavatu|
9 As we have just said, I here emphatically repeat: If anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed!
pūrvvaṁ yadvad akathayāma, idānīmahaṁ punastadvat kathayāmi yūyaṁ yaṁ susaṁvādaṁ gṛhītavantastasmād anyo yena kenacid yuṣmatsannidhau ghoṣyate sa śapto bhavatu|
10 Am I just now appealing to men, or to God? Or am I trying to please men? You see, if I were still pleasing men I would not be a slave of Christ.
sāmprataṁ kamaham anunayāmi? īśvaraṁ kiṁvā mānavān? ahaṁ kiṁ mānuṣebhyo rocituṁ yate? yadyaham idānīmapi mānuṣebhyo ruruciṣeya tarhi khrīṣṭasya paricārako na bhavāmi|
11 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the Gospel preached by me is not according to man;
he bhrātaraḥ, mayā yaḥ susaṁvādo ghoṣitaḥ sa mānuṣānna labdhastadahaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmi|
12 because I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather it came through a revelation from Christ.
ahaṁ kasmāccit manuṣyāt taṁ na gṛhītavān na vā śikṣitavān kevalaṁ yīśoḥ khrīṣṭasya prakāśanādeva|
13 You have heard of my former conduct while in Judaism, how I was rabid in my persecution of God's Church and tried to annihilate it;
purā yihūdimatācārī yadāham āsaṁ tadā yādṛśam ācaraṇam akaravam īśvarasya samitiṁ pratyatīvopadravaṁ kurvvan yādṛk tāṁ vyanāśayaṁ tadavaśyaṁ śrutaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ|
14 indeed I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age, being far more zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.
aparañca pūrvvapuruṣaparamparāgateṣu vākyeṣvanyāpekṣātīvāsaktaḥ san ahaṁ yihūdidharmmate mama samavayaskān bahūn svajātīyān atyaśayi|
15 But when God—who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through His grace—resolved
kiñca ya īśvaro mātṛgarbhasthaṁ māṁ pṛthak kṛtvā svīyānugraheṇāhūtavān
16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might proclaim Him among the nations/Gentiles, I did not start by consulting with flesh and blood,
sa yadā mayi svaputraṁ prakāśituṁ bhinnadeśīyānāṁ samīpe bhayā taṁ ghoṣayituñcābhyalaṣat tadāhaṁ kravyaśoṇitābhyāṁ saha na mantrayitvā
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before I was; rather I went off into Arabia, and then returned to Damascus.
pūrvvaniyuktānāṁ preritānāṁ samīpaṁ yirūśālamaṁ na gatvāravadeśaṁ gatavān paścāt tatsthānād dammeṣakanagaraṁ parāvṛtyāgatavān|
18 Subsequently, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to compare notes with Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
tataḥ paraṁ varṣatraye vyatīte'haṁ pitaraṁ sambhāṣituṁ yirūśālamaṁ gatvā pañcadaśadināni tena sārddham atiṣṭhaṁ|
19 (I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
kintu taṁ prabho rbhrātaraṁ yākūbañca vinā preritānāṁ nānyaṁ kamapyapaśyaṁ|
20 Really, before God, I am not lying in what I write to you.)
yānyetāni vākyāni mayā likhyante tānyanṛtāni na santi tad īśvaro jānāti|
21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
tataḥ param ahaṁ suriyāṁ kilikiyāñca deśau gatavān|
22 So I remained unknown by face to the congregations of Judea (those in Christ)
tadānīṁ yihūdādeśasthānāṁ khrīṣṭasya samitīnāṁ lokāḥ sākṣāt mama paricayamaprāpya kevalaṁ janaśrutimimāṁ labdhavantaḥ,
23 —they just kept hearing that “He who once persecuted us now proclaims the faith he formerly tried to destroy.”
yo janaḥ pūrvvam asmān pratyupadravamakarot sa tadā yaṁ dharmmamanāśayat tamevedānīṁ pracārayatīti|
24 And they glorified God about me.
tasmāt te māmadhīśvaraṁ dhanyamavadan|
