¹بولس رسول لا من الناس ولا بانسان بل بيسوع المسيح والله الآب الذي اقامه من الاموات

¹Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

²وجميع الاخوة الذين معي الى كنائس غلاطية.

²and all the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

³نعمة لكم وسلام من الله الآب ومن ربنا يسوع المسيح

³Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴الذي بذل نفسه لاجل خطايانا لينقذنا من العالم الحاضر الشرير حسب ارادة الله وابينا

⁴who 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—

⁵الذي له المجد الى ابد الآبدين. آمين

⁵to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁶اني اتعجب انكم تنتقلون هكذا سريعا عن الذي دعاكم بنعمة المسيح الى انجيل آخر

⁶I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;

⁷ليس هو آخر غير انه يوجد قوم يزعجونكم ويريدون ان يحوّلوا انجيل المسيح.

⁷and there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

⁸ولكن ان بشرناكم نحن او ملاك من السماء بغير ما بشرناكم فليكن اناثيما.

⁸But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

⁹كما سبقنا فقلنا اقول الآن ايضا ان كان احد يبشركم في غير ما قبلتم فليكن اناثيما.

⁹As 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.

¹⁰أفاستعطف الآن الناس ام الله. ام اطلب ان ارضي الناس. فلو كنت بعد ارضي الناس لم اكن عبدا للمسيح

¹⁰For am I now seeking the favor 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 Christ.

¹¹واعرّفكم ايها الاخوة الانجيل الذي بشرت به انه ليس بحسب انسان.

¹¹But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

¹²لاني لم اقبله من عند انسان ولا علّمته بل باعلان يسوع المسيح.

¹²For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³فانكم سمعتم بسيرتي قبلا في الديانة اليهودية اني كنت اضطهد كنيسة الله بافراط واتلفها.

¹³For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.

¹⁴وكنت اتقدم في الديانة اليهودية على كثيرين من اترابي في جنسي اذ كنت اوفر غيرة في تقليدات آبائي.

¹⁴I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵ولكن لما سرّ الله الذي افرزني من بطن امي ودعاني بنعمته

¹⁵But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,

¹⁶ان يعلن ابنه فيّ لابشر به بين الامم للوقت لم استشر لحما ودما

¹⁶to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

¹⁷ولا صعدت الى اورشليم الى الرسل الذين قبلي بل انطلقت الى العربية ثم رجعت ايضا الى دمشق.

¹⁷nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

¹⁸ثم بعد ثلاث سنين صعدت الى اورشليم لأتعرّف ببطرس فمكثت عنده خمسة عشر يوما.

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

¹⁹ولكنني لم ار غيره من الرسل الا يعقوب اخا الرب.

¹⁹But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord’s brother.

²⁰والذي اكتب به اليكم هوذا قدّام الله اني لست اكذب فيه.

²⁰Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

²¹وبعد ذلك جئت الى اقاليم سورية وكيليكية.

²¹Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

²²ولكنني كنت غير معروف بالوجه عند كنائس اليهودية التي في المسيح

²²I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

²³غير انهم كانوا يسمعون ان الذي كان يضطهدنا قبلا يبشر الآن بالايمان الذي كان قبلا يتلفه.

²³but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

²⁴فكانوا يمجدون الله فيّ

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
