Galatians 1

English Standard Version

Greeting

1 Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— (Ac 2:24; Ac 9:6; Ac 20:24; Ac 22:10; Ac 22:15; Ac 22:21; Ac 26:16; 2Co 1:1; Ga 1:11; 1Ti 1:1; Tit 1:3) 

2 and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: (Ac 16:6; 1Co 16:1; Php 4:21) 

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, (Ro 1:7; 1Co 1:3; 1Ti 1:2) 

4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (Mt 20:28; Joh 15:19; Ro 4:25; 1Co 15:3; Eph 2:2; Php 4:20; 1Th 1:3; 1Th 3:11; 1Th 3:13; 1Jo 5:19) 

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

No Other Gospel

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— (Ac 16:6; Ac 18:23; 2Co 11:4; Ga 4:13; Ga 5:8; 1Ti 1:3) 

7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. (Ac 4:12; Ac 15:24; 1Co 3:11; 2Co 11:13; Ga 5:10) 

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. (Ro 9:3; 2Co 11:14) 

9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. (Ga 1:8) 

10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Ro 1:1; Ro 2:29; 1Co 10:33; Eph 6:6; Col 3:22; 1Th 2:4) 

Paul Called by God

11 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. (Ro 2:16; 1Co 15:1) 

12 For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. (Ac 22:14; 1Co 2:10; 1Co 11:23; 1Co 15:3; 2Co 12:1; Ga 1:1; Ga 1:16) 

13 For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. (Ac 8:3; Ac 26:4) 

14 And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. (Jer 9:14; Mt 15:2; Ac 21:20; Php 3:6; 2Ti 1:3) 

15 But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, (Isa 49:1; Isa 49:5; Jer 1:5; Lu 1:15; Ac 13:2; Ro 1:1; Ga 1:6) 

16 was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone; (Ac 9:15; Ga 2:9) 

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

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. (Ac 9:22) 

19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother. (Mt 12:46; Ac 12:17) 

20 (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) (Ro 1:9; Ro 9:1) 

21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. (Ac 9:30; Ac 11:25; Ac 13:1) 

22 And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. (1Th 2:14) 

23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 

24 And they glorified God because of me.

Galatians 1

الكتاب المقدس

1 مِنْ بُولُسَ، وَهُوَ رَسُولٌ، لَا مِنْ قِبَلِ النَّاسِ وَلا بِسُلْطَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ بِسُلْطَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ الآبِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، 

2 وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ الإِخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي، إِلَى الْكَنَائِسِ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ غَلاطِيَّةَ. 

3 لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، 

4 الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَنَا مِنَ الْعَالَمِ الْحَاضِرِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَفْقاً لِمَشِيئَةِ إِلَهِنَا وَأَبِينَا. 

5 لَهُ الْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين! 

ليس بإنجيل آخر

6 عَجَباً! كَيْفَ تَتَحَوَّلُونَ بِمِثْلِ هذِهِ السُّرْعَةِ عَنِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ بِنِعْمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ، وَتَنْصَرِفُونَ إِلَى إِنْجِيلٍ غَرِيبٍ؟ 

7 لَا أَعْنِي أَنَّ هُنَالِكَ إِنْجِيلاً آخَرَ، بَلْ إِنَّمَا هُنَالِكَ بَعْضُ الَّذِينَ يُثِيرُونَ الْبَلْبَلَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ، رَاغِبِينَ فِي تَحْوِيرِ إِنْجِيلِ الْمَسِيحِ. 

8 وَلَكِنْ، حَتَّى لَوْ بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ نَحْنُ، أَوْ بَشَّرَكُمْ مَلاكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، بِغَيْرِ الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي بَشَّرْنَاكُمْ بِهِ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً! 

9 وَكَمَا سَبَقَ أَنْ قُلْنَا، أُكَرِّرُ الْقَوْلَ الآنَ أَيْضاً: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِإِنْجِيلٍ غَيْرِ الَّذِي قَبِلْتُمُوهُ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً! 

10 فَهَلْ أَسْعَى الآنَ إِلَى كَسْبِ تَأْيِيدِ النَّاسِ أَوِ اللهِ؟ أَمْ تُرَانِي أَطْلُبُ أَنْ أُرْضِيَ النَّاسَ؟ لَوْ كُنْتُ حَتَّى الآنَ أُرْضِي النَّاسَ، لَمَا كُنْتُ عَبْداً لِلْمَسِيحِ! 

دعوة الله لبولس

11 وَأُعْلِمُكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنَّ الإِنْجِيلَ الَّذِي بَشَّرْتُكُمْ بِهِ لَيْسَ إِنْجِيلاً بَشَرِيًّا. 

12 فَلا أَنَا تَسَلَّمْتُهُ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلا تَلَقَّنْتُهُ، بَلْ جَاءَنِي بِإِعْلانٍ مِنْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. 

13 فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِسِيرَتِي الْمَاضِيَةِ فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، كَيْفَ كُنْتُ أَضْطَهِدُ كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ مُتَطَرِّفاً إِلَى أَقْصَى حَدٍّ، سَاعِياً إِلَى تَخْرِيبِهَا، 

14 وَكَيْفَ كُنْتُ مُتَفَوِّقاً فِي الدِّيَانَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ جِيلِي فِي أُمَّتِي لِكَوْنِي غَيُوراً أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جِدّاً عَلَى تَقَالِيدِ آبَائِي. 

15 وَلَكِنْ، لَمَّا سُرَّ اللهُ، الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ أَفْرَزَنِي وَأَنَا فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي ثُمَّ دَعَانِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ، 

16 أَنْ يُعْلِنَ ابْنَهُ فِيَّ لأُبَشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، فِي الْحَالِ لَمْ أَسْتَشِرْ لَحْماً وَدَماً، 

17 وَلا صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لأُقَابِلَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا رُسُلاً مِنْ قَبْلِي، بَلِ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى بِلادِ الْعَرَبِ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. 

18 ثُمَّ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، بَعْدَ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ، لأَتَعَرَّفَ بِبُطْرُسَ. وَقَدْ أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً. 

19 وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أُقَابِلْ غَيْرَهُ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ إِلّا يَعْقُوبَ، أَخَا الرَّبِّ. 

20 إِنَّ مَا أَكْتُبُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ هُنَا، وَهَا أَنَا أَمَامَ اللهِ، لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ فِيهِ. 

21 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، جِئْتُ إِلَى بِلادِ سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ. 

22 إِلّا أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ غَيْرَ مَعْرُوفٍ شَخْصِيًّا لَدَى كَنَائِسِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي هِيَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ. 

23 وَإِنَّمَا كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ «أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي السَّابِقِ يَضْطَهِدُنَا، يُبَشِّرُ الآنَ بِإِنْجِيلِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْعَى قَبْلاً إِلَى تَخْرِيبِهِ!» 

24 فَكَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ بِسَبَبِي.
