Gálatas 1
1 PABLO, apóstol, (no de los hombres, ni por hombre, mas por Jesucristo y por Dios el Padre, que lo resucitó de los muertos),
Paul, an apostle—appointed not by men nor through man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2 Y todos los hermanos que están conmigo, á las iglesias de Galacia:
and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Gracia [sea] á vosotros, y paz de Dios el Padre, y de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 El cual se dió á sí mismo por nuestros pecados para librarnos de este presente siglo malo, conforme á la voluntad de Dios y Padre nuestro; (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the 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 Estoy maravillado de que tan pronto os hayáis traspasado del que os llamó á la gracia de Cristo, á otro evangelio:
I am astonished that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel,
7 No que hay otro, sino que hay algunos que os inquietan, y quieren pervertir el evangelio de Cristo.
not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Mas aun si nosotros ó un ángel del cielo os anunciare otro evangelio del que os hemos anunciado, sea anatema.
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed!
9 Como antes hemos dicho, también ahora decimos otra vez: Si alguno os anunciare otro evangelio del que habéis recibido, sea anatema.
As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!
10 Porque, ¿persuado yo ahora á hombres ó á Dios? ¿ó busco de agradar á hombres? Cierto, que si todavía agradara á los hombres, no sería siervo de Cristo.
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Mas os hago saber, hermanos, que el evangelio que ha sido anunciado por mí, no es según hombre;
But I make known to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached did not originate with man.
12 Pues ni yo lo recibí, ni lo aprendí de hombre, sino por revelación de Jesucristo.
For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Porque ya habéis oído acerca de mi conducta otro tiempo en el Judaismo, que perseguía sobremanera la iglesia de Dios, y la destruía;
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
14 Y aprovechaba en el Judaismo sobre muchos de mis iguales en mi nación, siendo muy más celador [que todos] de las tradiciones de mis padres.
I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, being far more zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Mas cuando plugo á Dios, que me apartó desde el vientre de mi madre, y me llamó por su gracia,
But when God, who set me apart before I was born and called me by his grace, was pleased
16 Revelar á su Hijo en mí, para que le predicase entre los Gentiles, luego no conferí con carne y sangre;
to reveal his Son in me so that I could preach good news about him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 Ni fuí á Jerusalem á los que eran apóstoles antes que yo; sino que me fuí á la Arabia, y volví de nuevo á Damasco.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
18 Después, pasados tres años, fuí á Jerusalem á ver á Pedro, y estuve con él quince días.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Peter, and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
19 Mas á ningún otro de los apóstoles vi, sino á Jacobo el hermano del Señor.
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
20 Y en esto que os escribo, he aquí, delante de Dios, no miento.
(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
21 Después fuí á las partes de Siria y de Cilicia;
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Y no era conocido de vista á las iglesias de Judea, que eran en Cristo;
But I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23 Solamente habían oído decir: Aquel que en otro tiempo nos perseguía, ahora anuncia la fe que en otro tiempo destruía.
They were only hearing people say, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24 Y glorificaban á Dios en mí.
So they were glorifying God because of me.
