Galacjan 1
1 Paweł, Apostoł (nie od ludzi, ani przez człowieka, ale przez Jezusa Chrystusa i Boga Ojca, który go wzbudził od umarłych; )
[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 I wszyscy bracia, którzy są ze mną, zborom Galackim.
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 Łaska wam i pokój niech będzie od Boga Ojca i Pana naszego, Jezusa Chrystusa.
[I pray that] God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly [help] you and enable [you to have inner] peace.
4 Który wydał samego siebie za grzechy nasze, aby nas wyrwał z teraźniejszego wieku złego według woli Boga i Ojca naszego; (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 Dziwuję się, iż tak prędko dacie się przenosić od tego, który was powołał ku łasce Chrystusowej, do inszej Ewangielii;
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 Która nie jest inszą; tylko niektórzy są, co was turbują i chcą wywrócić Ewangieliję Chrystusową.
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 Ale choćbyśmy i my, albo Anioł z nieba opowiadał wam Ewangieliję mimo tę, którąśmy wam opowiadali, niech będzie przeklęty.
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 Jakośmy przedtem powiedzieli i teraz znowu mówię: Jeźliby wam kto inną Ewangieliję opowiadał mimo tę, którąście przyjęli, niech będzie przeklęty.
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 Albowiem terazże do ludzi was namawiam, czyli do Boga? Albo szukamli, abym się podobał ludziom? Zaiste, jeźlibym się jeszcze ludziom chciał podobać, nie byłbym sługą Chrystusowym.
[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 A oznajmuję wam bracia! iż Ewangielija, która jest opowiadana ode mnie, nie jest według człowieka.
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 Albowiem ja anim jej wziął, anim się jej nauczył od człowieka, ale przez objawienie Jezusa Chrystusa.
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 Boście słyszeli o mojem obcowaniu niekiedy w Żydostwie, żem nader prześladował zbór Boży i burzyłem go;
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 I postępowałem w Żydostwie nad wiele rówieśników moich w narodzie moim, będąc nader gorliwym miłośnikiem ustaw moich ojczystych.
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 Ale gdy się upodobało Bogu, który mię odłączył z żywota matki mojej, i powołał z łaski swojej,
Nevertheless, before I was born, [God] (set me apart/selected me). He chose me [to live eternally], something that I did not deserve.
16 Aby objawił Syna swego we mnie, abym go opowiadał między poganami, wnetże nie radziłem się ciała i krwi;
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 Anim się wrócił do Jeruzalemu, do tych, którzy przede mną byli Apostołami, alem szedł do Arabii i wróciłem się zasię do Damaszku.
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 Potem po trzech latach wstąpiłem do Jeruzalemu, abym się ujrzał z Piotrem; i mieszkałem u niego piętnaście dni.
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 A inszegom z Apostołów nie widział, oprócz Jakóba, brata Pańskiego.
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 A co wam piszę, oto się przed Bogiem oświadczam, żeć nie kłamię.
God knows that what I am writing to you is completely true [LIT]!
21 Zatemem przyszedł do krain Syryi i Cylicyi;
After [I left Jerusalem], I went to [the regions of] Syria and Cilicia.
22 A byłem nieznajomym z twarzy zborom żydowskim, które są w Chrystusie;
[At that time, people in] the Christian congregations that are in Judea [province] still had not met me [SYN] personally.
23 Lecz tylko byli usłyszeli, iż ten, który prześladował nas niekiedy, teraz opowiada wiarę, którą przedtem burzył.
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 I chwalili Boga ze mnie.
And they praised God because of [what had happened to] me.
