Galatians 1
1 Paul, an emissary—not from men, nor through man, but through Yeshua the Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from 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 brothers who are 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 Yeshua the Messiah,
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
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)
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 quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Messiah to a different “good news”,
ⲋ̅ϯⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Messiah.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲙⲛⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should proclaim to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ
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.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲣⲡϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ
10 For am I now seeking the favour 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 Messiah.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲛⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲏ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua the Messiah.
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 way of living in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓϩⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
14 I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age amongst my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲛⲁⲧⲁϭⲟⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲟⲣϫⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲉⲓⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲧ
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might proclaim him amongst the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
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 emissaries before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I 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 visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓϭⲱ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲏ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
19 But of the other emissaries I saw no one except Jacob, the Lord’s brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϭⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛϯϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲓⲕⲗⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛⲧ ⲕⲓⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Messiah,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲟ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲓⲧⲉ
24 So they glorified God in me.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ
