¹ܐܘ ܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܓܠܛܝܐ ܡܢܘ ܚܤܡ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܡܨܪ ܨܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܨܠܝܒ ܀

¹Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

²ܗܕܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܕܥ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܤܒܬܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܫܡܥܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀

²I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

³ܗܟܢܐ ܤܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܫܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܡܫܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

³Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

⁴ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܝܩܐ ܤܝܒܪܬܘܢ ܘܐܫܬܘܦ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܩܐ ܀

⁴Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

⁵ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܒܟܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܤܥܪ ܒܟܘܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܫܡܥܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀

⁵He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

⁶ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܬܚܫܒܬ ܠܗ ܠܙܕܝܩܘ ܀

⁶Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

⁷ܕܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܀

⁷Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.

⁸ܡܛܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܩܕܡ ܝܕܥ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܙܕܕܩܝܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܩܕܡ ܤܒܪ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܡܪ ܟܬܒܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܟ ܢܬܒܪܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܀

⁸The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.” Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18

⁹ܡܕܝܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܡܬܒܪܟܝܢ ܒܐܒܪܗܡ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܀

⁹So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

¹⁰ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܟܠܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܟܠ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.” Deuteronomy 27:26

¹¹ܕܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܐܢܫ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܕܐ ܓܠܝܐ ܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܢܚܐ ܀

¹¹Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

¹²ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܝܒܢ ܒܗ ܢܚܐ ܒܗܝܢ ܀

¹²The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.” Leviticus 18:5

¹³ܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܙܒܢܢ ܡܢ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܚܠܦܝܢ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܟܠܡܢ ܕܡܬܬܠܐ ܒܩܝܤܐ ܀

¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” Deuteronomy 21:23

¹⁴ܕܒܥܡܡܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܘܪܟܬܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܚܢܢ ܢܤܒ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀

¹⁴that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁵ܐܚܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܤܠܐ ܐܘ ܡܫܚܠܦ ܒܗ ܡܕܡ ܀

¹⁵Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

¹⁶ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܟ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܘܠܙܪܥܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܠܙܪܥܝܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܙܪܥܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܚܕ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁶Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn’t say, “To seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “To your seed,” Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7 which is Christ.

¹⁷ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܐܪܒܥ ܡܐܐ ܘܬܠܬܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܤܠܝܗ ܘܢܒܛܠ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܀

¹⁷Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁸ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܝ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁸For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

¹⁹ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܤܛܝܢܘܬܐ ܐܬܬܘܤܦ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܙܪܥܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܗܘܐ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܗܘ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܒܝܕ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܨܥܝܐ ܀

¹⁹What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

²⁰ܡܨܥܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܗܘ ܀

²⁰Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

²¹ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܤ ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܀

²¹Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

²²ܐܠܐ ܚܒܫ ܟܬܒܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܬܚܝܬ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܀

²²But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

²³ܥܕܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܐܬܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܟܕ ܚܒܝܫܝܢܢ ܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܬܓܠܝܘ ܀

²³But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

²⁴ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܪܐܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܢܙܕܕܩ ܀

²⁴So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

²⁵ܟܕ ܐܬܬ ܕܝܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܬܪܐܐ ܀

²⁵But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

²⁶ܟܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

²⁶For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡܕܬܘܢ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܒܫܬܘܢ ܀

²⁷For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁸ܠܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܠܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܪ ܚܐܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܬܐ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܚܕ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁹ܘܐܢ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܟܝܠ ܙܪܥܗ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܝܪܬܐ ܒܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܀

²⁹If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise.
