Pāvila Vēstule Galatiešiem 1
1 Pāvils, apustulis ne no cilvēkiem, nedz caur kādu cilvēku, bet caur Jēzu Kristu un Dievu To Tēvu, kas To uzmodinājis no miroņiem,
[I], Paul, [write this letter to you. I remind you that I am] an apostle. That is not because a group of people [appointed me], nor because a human being [sent me to be an apostle]. Instead, Jesus Christ and God [our heavenly] Father, who caused Jesus to become alive again after he died, have [appointed and] sent [me to be an apostle].
2 Un visi brāļi, kas pie manis ir, Galatijas draudzēm.
All the fellow believers [who are here] with me [approve of this message that I am writing. I am sending this letter] to the congregations that [are] in Galatia [province].
3 Žēlastība lai ir jums un miers no Dieva, Tā Tēva, un mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus,
[I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
4 Kas pats ir nodevies par mūsu grēkiem, ka mūs izrautu no šās tagadējas niknās pasaules pēc mūsu Dieva un Tēva prāta. (aiōn g165)
Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
6 Es brīnos, ka jūs tik drīz no tā, kas jūs ir aicinājis caur Kristus žēlastību, topat nogriezti uz citu evaņģēliju;
I am very disappointed [IRO] that so soon [after you trusted in Christ] you have turned away from [God]. He chose you in order that [you might have what] Christ freely/kindly gives. I am also disappointed that so soon you are believing a different [message which some say is] “good news.”
7 Un tomēr cita nav, bet tikai kādi rodas, kas jūs sajauc un Kristus evaņģēliju grib pārgrozīt.
Their message is not a true message. [What is happening is that] certain persons are confusing your [minds]. They are desiring to change the good message (that Christ [revealed/about] Christ) [and are creating another message].
8 Bet ja arī mēs, vai eņģelis no debesīm jums pasludinātu citu evaņģēliju pār to, ko esam pasludinājuši, tas lai ir nolādēts.
But even if we [(exc) apostles] or an angel from heaven would tell you a message that is different from the good message that we told you [before], I [appeal to God] that [he] punish such a person [forever].
9 Itin kā jau esam sacījuši, tā es nu vēl reiz saku: ja kas jums pasludina citu evaņģēliju pār to, ko jūs esat dabūjuši, tas lai ir nolādēts.
As I told you previously, so now I tell you this once more: Someone is telling you [what he says is] a good message, but it is a message that is different from [the good message] that I gave you. So I [appeal to God] that [he] severely punish that person.
10 Jo vai es tagad cilvēkiem runāju pa prātam vai Dievam? Jeb vai es meklēju cilvēkiem patikt? Jo ja es cilvēkiem patiktu, tad es nebūtu Kristus kalps.
[I said that] because [RHQ] I do not desire that people approve me, [contrary to what some have said about me]. It is God whom I desire to approve me. [Specifically, I do not say and do] [RHQ] things just to please people. If it were still people whom I was trying to please, then I would not be one who [willingly and completely] serves Christ.
11 Bet es jums daru zināmu, brāļi, ka tas evaņģēlijs, ko esmu pasludinājis, nav pēc cilvēku prāta.
My fellow believers, I want you to know that the message about Christ that I proclaim to people is not one that some person [created/thought up].
12 Jo es to arī neesmu dabūjis nedz mācījies no cilvēka, bet caur Jēzus Kristus parādīšanu.
I did not receive this message from a human [messenger], and no [human being] taught it to me. Instead, Jesus Christ revealed it to me.
13 Jo jūs jau sen esat dzirdējuši par manu dzīvošanu Jūdu ticībā, ka Dieva draudzi pārlieku esmu vajājis un postījis,
People have told you how I used to behave when [I practiced] the Jewish religion. They told you that I continually did very harmful things to the groups of believers that God [established], and they told you that I tried to get rid of those people.
14 Un biju pārāks Jūdu ticībā pār daudz citiem, kas manā ciltī bija manos gados, un biju tēvišķu iestādījumu pārlieku dedzīgs pārstāvētājs.
I practiced the Jewish religion more thoroughly than many [other Jews] who were my age practiced it. I much more enthusiastically tried to get others to obey the traditions that my ancestors [kept].
15 Bet kad Dievam, kas mani no mātes miesām izredzējis un caur Savu žēlastību aicinājis, patika,
Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
16 Savu Dēlu parādīt iekš manis, ka es Viņa evaņģēliju sludinātu starp pagāniem, tad es padoma neņēmos no miesām un asinīm,
He wanted me to know that Jesus is (his Son/the man who is also God), so that I would tell others the message about him in regions where non-Jews live. But I did not immediately go to any human beings [SYN] in order to gain [an understanding of that message. I received it directly from Christ!]!
17 Nedz gāju atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi pie tiem, kas priekš manis bija apustuļi, bet tūdaļ nogāju uz Arābiju un atkal atgriezos atpakaļ uz Damasku.
I did not [immediately] leave Damascus and go to Jerusalem [for that purpose] to those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away to Arabia [region, a desert area]. Later I returned once more to Damascus [city].
18 Pēc tam, pēc trīs gadiem es nogāju uz Jeruzālemi, iepazīties ar Pēteri, un paliku pie tā piecpadsmit dienas.
Then three years after [God revealed this good message to me], I went up to Jerusalem in order that I might meet Peter. But I stayed with him for [only] 15 days, [which was not long enough for him to teach me thoroughly about Christ].
19 Bet citu nevienu no apustuļiem neredzēju, kā vien Jēkabu, Tā Kunga brāli.
I also saw James, the brother of our Lord [Jesus and the leader of the believers there, but] I did not see any other apostle.
20 Bet ko jums rakstu, redzi, to apliecināju Dieva priekša, ka es nemeloju.
God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
21 Pēc tam nācu uz Sīrijas un uz Ķiliķijas zemēm.
After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
22 Bet no vaiga nebiju pazīstams Jūdu zemes draudzēm, kas ir iekš Kristus.
[At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
23 Bet tie to vien bija dzirdējuši, ka tas, kas citkārt mūs vajāja, tagad sludina to ticību, ko tas citkārt postīja.
They only heard [others say about me] repeatedly, “[Paul], the one who was formerly doing harmful things to us, is now telling the [same message] which we believe and which formerly he was trying (to destroy/to cause people to stop believing)!”
24 Un tie par mani pagodināja Dievu.
And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
