¹ثم بعد اربع عشرة سنة صعدت ايضا الى اورشليم مع برنابا آخذا معي تيطس ايضا.

¹Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

²وانما صعدت بموجب اعلان وعرضت عليهم الانجيل الذي اكرز به بين الامم ولكن بالانفراد على المعتبرين لئلا اكون اسعى او قد سعيت باطلا.

²I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

³لكن لم يضطر ولا تيطس الذي كان معي وهو يوناني ان يختتن.

³But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

⁴ولكن بسبب الاخوة الكذبة المدخلين خفية الذين دخلوا اختلاسا ليتجسسوا حريتنا التي لنا في المسيح كي يستعبدونا.

⁴This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

⁵الذين لم نذعن لهم بالخضوع ولا ساعة ليبقى عندكم حق الانجيل.

⁵to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.

⁶واما المعتبرون انهم شيء مهما كانوا لا فرق عندي. الله لا يأخذ بوجه انسان. فان هؤلاء المعتبرين لم يشيروا عليّ بشيء.

⁶But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man)—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

⁷بل بالعكس اذ رأوا اني اؤتمنت على انجيل الغرلة كما بطرس على انجيل الختان.

⁷but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcision

⁸فان الذي عمل في بطرس لرسالة الختان عمل فيّ ايضا للامم.

⁸(for he who appointed Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision appointed me also to the Gentiles);

⁹فاذ علم بالنعمة المعطاة لي يعقوب وصفا ويوحنا المعتبرون انهم اعمدة اعطوني وبرنابا يمين الشركة لنكون نحن للامم واما هم فللختان.

⁹and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

¹⁰غير ان نذكر الفقراء. وهذا عينه كنت اعتنيت ان افعله

¹⁰They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

¹¹ولكن لما أتى بطرس الى انطاكية قاومته مواجهة لانه كان ملوما.

¹¹But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

¹²لانه قبلما أتى قوم من عند يعقوب كان يأكل مع الامم ولكن لما أتوا كان يؤخر ويفرز نفسه خائفا من الذين هم من الختان.

¹²For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

¹³وراءى معه باقي اليهود ايضا حتى ان برنابا ايضا انقاد الى ريائهم.

¹³And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

¹⁴لكن لما رأيت انهم لا يسلكون باستقامة حسب حق الانجيل قلت لبطرس قدام الجميع ان كنت وانت يهودي تعيش امميا لا يهوديا فلماذا تلزم الامم ان يتهوّدوا.

¹⁴But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

¹⁵نحن بالطبيعة يهود ولسنا من الامم خطاة

¹⁵“We, being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners,

¹⁶اذ نعلم ان الانسان لا يتبرر باعمال الناموس بل بايمان يسوع المسيح آمنّا نحن ايضا بيسوع المسيح لنتبرر بايمان يسوع لا باعمال الناموس. لانه باعمال الناموس لا يتبرر جسد ما.

¹⁶yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

¹⁷فان كنا ونحن طالبون ان نتبرر في المسيح نوجد نحن انفسنا ايضا خطاة أفالمسيح خادم للخطية. حاشا.

¹⁷But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!

¹⁸فاني ان كنت ابني ايضا هذا الذي قد هدمته فاني اظهر نفسي متعديا.

¹⁸For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

¹⁹لاني مت بالناموس للناموس لاحيا للّه.

¹⁹For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

²⁰مع المسيح صلبت فاحيا لا انا بل المسيح يحيا فيّ. فما احياه الآن في الجسد فانما احياه في الايمان ايمان ابن الله الذي احبني واسلم نفسه لاجلي

²⁰I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

²¹لست ابطل نعمة الله. لانه ان كان بالناموس بر فالمسيح اذا مات بلا سبب

²¹I don’t make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
