Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
Pavel, apostol (ne od ljudi niti ne po človeku, temveč po Jezusu Kristusu in Bogu Očetu, ki ga je obudil od mrtvih)
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
in vsi bratje, ki so z menoj, cerkvam v Galatiji:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
›Milost bodi vam in mir od Boga Očeta in od našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa,
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
ki je samega sebe dal za naše grehe, da nas lahko osvobodi iz tega sedanjega hudobnega sveta, glede na voljo Boga in našega Očeta, (aiōn g165)
ki mu bodi slava na veke vekov. Amen.‹ (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
Čudim se, da ste se tako hitro oddaljili od tistega, ki vas je poklical v Kristusovo milost, k drugemu evangeliju,
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
ki ni drug, temveč so tam nekateri, ki vas vznemirjajo in hočejo izkriviti Kristusov evangelij.
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
Toda čeprav vam mi ali angel iz nebes oznanja kak drug evangelij, kakor tega, ki smo vam ga oznanili, naj bo ta preklet.
9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
Kakor smo rekli prej, tako ponovno govorim sedaj: »Če vam katerikoli človek oznani kak drug evangelij, kakor ta, ki ste ga prejeli, naj bo preklet.«
10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.
Kajti ali sedaj pregovarjam ljudi ali Boga? Ali poskušam ugajati ljudem? Kajti če bi še ugajal ljudem, ne bi bil Kristusov služabnik.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Toda potrjujem vam, bratje, da evangelij, ki je bil oznanjen po meni, ni po človeku.
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Kajti niti ga nisem prejel od človeka niti se ga nisem naučil, temveč po razodetju Jezusa Kristusa.
13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
Kajti slišali ste o mojem vedênju, v preteklem času v judovski religiji, da sem preko mere preganjal Božjo cerkev in jo pustošil,
14 I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
in v judovski religiji napredoval nad mnoge svoje vrstnike v svojem lastnem narodu in bil še silno vnet za izročila svojih očetov.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
Toda ko je Bogu, ki me je od maternice moje matere odbral in me poklical po svoji milosti, ugajalo,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
da v meni razodene svojega Sina, da bi ga lahko oznanjal med pogani, se nisem takoj posvetoval z mesom in krvjo,
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
niti nisem odšel gor v Jeruzalem k tem, ki so bili apostoli pred menoj, temveč sem odšel v Arabijo in se ponovno vrnil v Damask.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Potem sem po treh letih odšel gor v Jeruzalem, da vidim Petra in z njim ostal petnajst dni.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
Toda izmed apostolov nisem videl nobenega drugega, razen Jakoba, Gospodovega brata.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
Torej stvari, ki vam jih pišem, glejte, pred Bogom, ne lažem.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Kasneje sem prišel v področja Sirije in Kilikije;
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
in po obrazu sem bil nepoznan cerkvam v Judeji, ki so bile v Kristusu,
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
toda samo slišali so: »Da tisti, ki nas je v preteklih časih preganjal, sedaj oznanja vero, ki jo je nekoč uničeval.«
24 So they glorified God in me.
In slavili so Boga v meni.
