¹Pavel, apoštol, nie od ľudí ani nie skrze človeka, ale skrze Ježiša Krista a Boha Otca, ktorý ho vzkriesil z mŕtvych,

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

²a všetci bratia, ktorí sú so mnou, sborom Galácie:

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:

³milosť vám a pokoj od Boha Otca a od nášho Pána Ježiša Krista,

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

⁴ktorý dal sám seba za naše hriechy, aby nás vytrhol z prítomného veku zlého podľa vôle Boha a nášho Otca,

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—

⁵ktorému sláva na veky vekov. Ameň.

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

⁶Divím sa, že tak skoro odstupujete od toho, ktorý vás povolal v milosti Kristovej, k inému evanjeliu,

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

⁷ktoré nie je iné, iba že sú niektorí, ktorí vás nepokoja a chcú prevrátiť evanjelium Kristovo.

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

⁸Ale aj keby sme vám my alebo anjel z neba zvestoval iné ako to, čo sme vám zvestovali, nech je prekliaty!

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.

⁹Jako sme už prv povedali, aj teraz zase hovorím, že ak vám niekto zvestuje iné evanjelium ako to, ktoré ste prijali, nech je prekliaty.

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.

¹⁰Lebo či teraz nahováram ľudí a či Boha? Alebo či hľadám ľúbiť sa ľuďom? Lebo ak by mi ešte išlo o to, aby som sa ľúbil ľuďom, nebol by som sluhom Kristovým.

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.

¹¹Ale vám oznamujem, bratia, že evanjelium, ktoré som ja zvestoval, nie je podľa človeka;

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

¹²lebo som ho ani ja neprijal od človeka ani ma nemu nenaučil človek, ale som ho dostal skrze zjavenie Ježiša Krista.

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

¹³Lebo veď ste počuli o mojom živote, a čo som kedysi robil v židovstve, že som nad mieru prenasledoval cirkev Božiu a hubil som ju

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.

¹⁴a predčil som v židovstve mnohých vrstovníkov vo svojom rode súc väčším horlivcom za podania svojich otcov ako oni.

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.

¹⁵Ale keď sa zaľúbilo Bohu, ktorý ma oddelil od života mojej matky a povolal svojou milosťou,

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

¹⁶zjaviť vo mne svojeho Syna, aby som ho zvestoval medzi pohanmi, hneď som urobil tak, že som sa neporadil s telom a krvou

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

¹⁷ani som neodišiel hore do Jeruzalema k tým, ktorí boli predo mnou apoštolmi, ale som odišiel do Arábie a zase som sa navrátil do Damašku.

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.

¹⁸Potom po troch rokoch som odišiel hore do Jeruzalema poznať Kéfaša, Petra, a pobudol som u neho pätnásť dní.

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

¹⁹A iného z apoštolov som nevidel okrem Jakoba, brata Pánovho.

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

²⁰A čo vám píšem, hľa píšem pred Bohom, že neluhám.

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

²¹Potom som prišiel do krajov Sýrie a Cilície.

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

²²A bol som osobne neznámy sborom v Judsku, ktoré sú v Kristovi,

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

²³iba toľko, čo slýchali, že vraj ten, ktorý nás kedysi prenasledoval, zvestuje teraz vieru, ktorú predtým hubil.

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

²⁴A oslavovali za mňa Boha.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
