1 manuSyEbhyO nahi manuSyairapi nahi kintu yIzukhrISTEna mRtagaNamadhyAt tasyOtthApayitrA pitrEzvarENa ca prEritO yO'haM paulaH sO'haM
Paul, an apostle—not an apostle from men nor by human agency, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2 matsahavarttinO bhrAtarazca vayaM gAlAtIyadEzasthAH samitIH prati patraM likhAmaH|
and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 pitrEzvarENAsmAMka prabhunA yIzunA khrISTEna ca yuSmabhyam anugrahaH zAntizca dIyatAM|
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for our sins so that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 khrISTasyAnugrahENa yO yuSmAn AhUtavAn tasmAnnivRtya yUyam atitUrNam anyaM susaMvAdam anvavarttata tatrAhaM vismayaM manyE|
I am amazed that you are turning away so quickly from him who called you by the grace of Christ. I am amazed that you are turning to a different gospel.
7 sO'nyasusaMvAdaH susaMvAdO nahi kintu kEcit mAnavA yuSmAn canjcalIkurvvanti khrISTIyasusaMvAdasya viparyyayaM karttuM cESTantE ca|
This is not to say that there is another gospel, but there are some men who cause you trouble and want to change the gospel of Christ.
8 yuSmAkaM sannidhau yaH susaMvAdO'smAbhi rghOSitastasmAd anyaH susaMvAdO'smAkaM svargIyadUtAnAM vA madhyE kEnacid yadi ghOSyatE tarhi sa zaptO bhavatu|
But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel other than the one we proclaimed to you, let him be cursed.
9 pUrvvaM yadvad akathayAma, idAnImahaM punastadvat kathayAmi yUyaM yaM susaMvAdaM gRhItavantastasmAd anyO yEna kEnacid yuSmatsannidhau ghOSyatE sa zaptO bhavatu|
As we have said before, so now I say again, “If someone proclaims to you a gospel other than the one you received, let him be cursed.”
10 sAmprataM kamaham anunayAmi? IzvaraM kiMvA mAnavAn? ahaM kiM mAnuSEbhyO rOcituM yatE? yadyaham idAnImapi mAnuSEbhyO ruruciSEya tarhi khrISTasya paricArakO na bhavAmi|
For am I now seeking the approval of men or God? Am I seeking to please men? If I am still trying to please men, I am not a servant of Christ.
11 hE bhrAtaraH, mayA yaH susaMvAdO ghOSitaH sa mAnuSAnna labdhastadahaM yuSmAn jnjApayAmi|
For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I proclaimed is not man's gospel.
12 ahaM kasmAccit manuSyAt taM na gRhItavAn na vA zikSitavAn kEvalaM yIzOH khrISTasya prakAzanAdEva|
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it. Instead, it was by revelation of Jesus Christ to me.
13 purA yihUdimatAcArI yadAham AsaM tadA yAdRzam AcaraNam akaravam Izvarasya samitiM pratyatIvOpadravaM kurvvan yAdRk tAM vyanAzayaM tadavazyaM zrutaM yuSmAbhiH|
You have heard about my former life in Judaism, how I was persecuting the church of God beyond measure and that I was trying to destroy it.
14 aparanjca pUrvvapuruSaparamparAgatESu vAkyESvanyApEkSAtIvAsaktaH san ahaM yihUdidharmmatE mama samavayaskAn bahUn svajAtIyAn atyazayi|
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of those who were my own age, from out of my own people. That is how extremely zealous I was for the traditions of my fathers.
15 kinjca ya IzvarO mAtRgarbhasthaM mAM pRthak kRtvA svIyAnugrahENAhUtavAn
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb, and who called me through his grace,
16 sa yadA mayi svaputraM prakAzituM bhinnadEzIyAnAM samIpE bhayA taM ghOSayitunjcAbhyalaSat tadAhaM kravyazONitAbhyAM saha na mantrayitvA
was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I would proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood.
17 pUrvvaniyuktAnAM prEritAnAM samIpaM yirUzAlamaM na gatvAravadEzaM gatavAn pazcAt tatsthAnAd dammESakanagaraM parAvRtyAgatavAn|
I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me. Instead, I went to Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
18 tataH paraM varSatrayE vyatItE'haM pitaraM sambhASituM yirUzAlamaM gatvA panjcadazadinAni tEna sArddham atiSThaM|
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to get to know Cephas and I stayed with him fifteen days.
19 kintu taM prabhO rbhrAtaraM yAkUbanjca vinA prEritAnAM nAnyaM kamapyapazyaM|
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
20 yAnyEtAni vAkyAni mayA likhyantE tAnyanRtAni na santi tad IzvarO jAnAti|
In what I write to you, I assure you before God, that I am not lying.
21 tataH param ahaM suriyAM kilikiyAnjca dEzau gatavAn|
Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 tadAnIM yihUdAdEzasthAnAM khrISTasya samitInAM lOkAH sAkSAt mama paricayamaprApya kEvalaM janazrutimimAM labdhavantaH,
I was still not personally known to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23 yO janaH pUrvvam asmAn pratyupadravamakarOt sa tadA yaM dharmmamanAzayat tamEvEdAnIM pracArayatIti|
They only heard it being said, “The man who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24 tasmAt tE mAmadhIzvaraM dhanyamavadan|
So they glorified God because of me.
