Galatians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus 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 who are with me: To the Churches of Galatia.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ
3 May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
4 who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father. (aiōn g165)
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ (aiōn g165)
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.
ⲋ̅ϯⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
7 For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲙⲛⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
8 But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ
9 What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲣⲡϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ
10 For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲛⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲏ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
11 For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
12 For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲓⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
13 For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓϩⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
14 and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲛⲁⲧⲁϭⲟⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ
15 But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲟⲣϫⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲉⲓⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲧ
16 saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϭⲗⲡ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ ⲉⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⲥⲛⲟϥ
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲁϩⲏ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲕⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ
18 Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓϭⲱ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲏ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
19 I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϭⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
20 In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛϯϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ
21 Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲓⲕⲗⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛⲧ ⲕⲓⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ
22 But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲟ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
23 They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲓⲧⲉ
24 And they gave glory to God on my account.
