< Galatians 1 >

1 PAUL, a legate, not from men, nor by man, but by Jesus the Messiah, and God his Father, who raised him from the dead;
ⲁ̅·ⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲥ· ·ⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲁⲥ· ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
2 and all the brethren who are with me; unto the churches which are in Galatia.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ.
3 Grace be with you, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah;
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this evil world, agreeably to the pleasure of God our Father: (aiōn g165)
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ (aiōn g165)
5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ· (aiōn g165)
6 I admire, how soon ye have turned from the Messiah, who called you by his grace, unto another gospel;
ⲋ̅ϯⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
7 which doth not exist, except as there are some who would disquiet you, and are disposed to pervert the gospel of the Messiah.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅
8 But if we, or an angel from heaven, should announce to you differently from what we have announced to you, let him be accursed.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ. ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ.
9 As I have just said, and now I again say it, that if any one announce to you differently from what ye received, let him be accursed.
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲣⲡ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I had till now pleased men, I should not have been a servant of the Messiah.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
11 But I make known to you, my brethren, that the gospel announced by me, was not from man.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
12 For I did not receive it and learn it from man, but I had it by revelation from Jesus the Messiah.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13 For ye have heard of my former course of life in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God exceedingly, and destroyed it:
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓ̈ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
14 and that I went much farther in Judaism than many of my contemporaries who were of my nation, and was peculiarly zealous for the doctrine of my fathers.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲧⲁϭⲟⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ. ⲉⲉⲓⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ.
15 But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲟⲣϫⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲉⲓⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲧ
16 to reveal his Son by me, that I should proclaim him among the Gentiles; forthwith, I did not open it to flesh and blood;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϭⲗⲡ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ̅ ⲉⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ϩⲓⲥⲛⲟϥ.
17 nor did I go to Jerusalem, to them who were legates before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus:
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲁϩⲏ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ·
18 and after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Cephas; and I remained with him fifteen days.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓ̈ϭⲱ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ.
19 But others of the legates I saw not, except James, our Lord's brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϭⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏ ⲓ̈ⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
20 In the things which I am writing to you, behold, before God! I lie not.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϯϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ·
21 And after that, I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲓⲕⲗⲓⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲓⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ.
22 And the churches in Judaea which were in the Messiah; did not know me personally:
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
23 but this only had they heard, that he who before persecuted us, now preacheth that faith which in time preceding he subverted:
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲧⲉ.
24 and they glorified God in me.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ·
