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

¹Nekk Bulus, yellan d ṛṛasul, mačči s ufus neɣ s lebɣi n yemdanen, lameɛna s lebɣi n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ akk-d Baba Ṛebbi i t-id isseḥyan si ger lmegtin.

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:

²Uriɣ tabṛaț-agi nekk d watmaten meṛṛa yellan yid-i, i tejmuyaɛ n watmaten n tmurt n Galasya :

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

³ṛṛeḥma d lehna a wen-d-țțunefkent s ɣuṛ Baba-tneɣ Ṛebbi akk-d Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

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—

⁴Lmasiḥ isebbel iman-is ɣef ddnubat-nneɣ, iwakken a ɣ-isellek si yir lǧil-agi, s lebɣi n Baba-tneɣ Ṛebbi.

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

⁵I nețța tamanegt si lǧil ɣer lǧil ! Amin !

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

⁶Wehmeɣ imi twexxṛem s lemɣawla ɣef win i wen-d-issawlen s ṛṛeḥma n Lmasiḥ, iwakken aț-țḍefṛem lexbaṛ n lxiṛ nniḍen.

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

⁷Ur wen-d-nniɣ ara akka am akken yella lexbaṛ n lxiṛ nniḍen , lameɛna qqaṛeɣ-awen-d akka, axaṭer llan kra lɣaci i kkun-icewwlen yerna bɣan ad sɛewjen lexbaṛ n lxiṛ yeɛnan Lmasiḥ.

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.

⁸?as a lukan d nukni, neɣ d lmelk ara d-yasen seg igenni a wen-d ibbecceṛ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ yemxalafen ɣef win i wen-d-nbecceṛ si tazwara, atan ad yețwanɛel !

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.

⁹Nenna-yawen-t-id si zik, a s-d ɛiwdeɣ tura : yețwanɛel win ara wen-d ibeccṛen lexbaṛ n lxiṛ yemxalafen ɣef win i tqeblem !

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.

¹⁰Ihi tura, eɛni d lemziya n yemdanen i țnadiɣ ? Xaṭi ! D lemziya n Sidi Ṛebbi i țnadiɣ. Neɣ eɛni țnadiɣ ad ɛeǧbeɣ i yemdanen ? Lemmer i mazal țnadiɣ ad ɛeǧbeɣ i yemdanen, tili ur țțilliɣ ara d aqeddac n Lmasiḥ.

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

¹¹A wen-d-iniɣ ay atmaten belli lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ i wen-d-beccṛeɣ mačči s ɣuṛ wemdan i d-yekka ;

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

¹²axaṭer, nekk s yiman-iw mačči d amdan i yi-t-id-issawḍen neɣ i yi t-islemden, lameɛna d Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ i yi-t-id-iweḥḥan.

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.

¹³Teslam ɣef tikli-inu n zik asmi lliɣ ttabaɛeɣ ddin n wat Isṛail ; teslam amek i qehṛeɣ tajmaɛt n imasiḥiyen d wamek bɣiɣ a ten-snegreɣ.

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.

¹⁴Asmi lliɣ ḍefṛeɣ ddin d leɛwayed n wat Isṛail, ifeɣ akk tizyiwin-iw akk-d wid n laṣel-iw, axaṭer ṭṭfeɣ di leɛwayed n lejdud-iw akken ilaq.

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

¹⁵Lameɛna s ṛṛeḥma-s, Sidi Ṛebbi ixtaṛ-iyi-d uqbel a d-laleɣ yerna yessawel-iyi-d iwakken ad qedceɣ fell-as.

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

¹⁶Asmi i yi-d-ibeggen Sidi Ṛebbi Mmi-s iwakken ad beccṛeɣ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ i t-iɛnan ger wid ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail, ur cawṛeɣ ula d yiwen ;

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.

¹⁷yerna ur uliɣ ara ɣer temdint Lquds ɣer wid yellan d ṛṛusul uqbel-iw, lameɛna ṛuḥeɣ ɣer tmurt n waɛṛaben ; syenna uɣaleɣ-ed daɣen ɣer temdint n Dimacq.

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

¹⁸Mi ɛeddan tlata iseggasen, uliɣ ɣer temdint Lquds iwakken ad issineɣ Buṭrus, qqimeɣ ɣuṛ-es xemseṭṭac wussan.

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

¹⁹Lameɛna ur ẓriɣ ula d yiwen nniḍen si ṛṛusul, anagar Yeɛqub, gma-s n Ssid-nneɣ.

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

²⁰Ayen i wen-d-uriɣ akka ț-țideț, zdat Ṛebbi ur skiddibeɣ ara.

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

²¹Syenna, ṛuḥeɣ ɣer tmura n Surya d Silisya ;

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

²²kra wayen kkiɣ dinna, imasiḥiyen n tejmuyaɛ n tmurt n Yahuda leɛmeṛ ẓrin udem-iw.

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

²³Slan kan qqaṛen fell-i : win akken yellan ițqehhiṛ deg-nneɣ, atan tura ițbecciṛ liman i gebɣa zik-nni a t-issenger.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.

²⁴Dɣa țḥemmiden Ṛebbi ɣef ddemma-w.
