STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 פּוֹלוֹס הַשָּׁלִיחַ לֹא מִבְּנֵי אָדָם וְלֹא עַל־יְדֵי בֶן־אָדָם כִּי אִם־עַל־יְדֵי יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ וֵאלֹהִים הָאָב אֲשֶׁר הֱעִירוֹ מִן־הַמֵּתִים	1 Paul, an Apostle, not from men and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,
2 וְכָל־הָאַחִים אֲשֶׁר עִמָּדִי אֶל־הַקְּהִלּוֹת אֲשֶׁר בְּגָלַטְיָא	2 and all the brothers who are with me: to the churches of Galatia.
3 חֶסֶד לָכֶם וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים אָבִינוּ וּמֵאֵת אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	3 Grace and peace to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 אֲשֶׁר־נָתַן אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ בְּעַד חַטֹּאתֵינוּ לְחַלְּצֵנוּ מִן־הָעוֹלָם הָרָע הַזֶּה כִּרְצוֹן אֱלֹהֵינוּ אָבִינוּ	4 who gave himself on behalf of our sins, so that he might deliver us from this present wicked age, according to the will of God our Father.
5 אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ הַכָּבוֹד לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים אָמֵן	5 To him is glory forever and ever. Amen.
6 תָּמֵהַּ אֲנִי כִּי־סַרְתֶּם מַהֵר מֵאַחֲרֵי הַקֹּרֵא אֶתְכֶם בְּחֶסֶד הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֶל־בְּשׂוֹרָה זָרָה	6 I wonder that you have been so quickly transferred, from him who called you into the grace of Christ, over to another gospel.
7 וְהִיא אֵינֶנָּה אַחֶרֶת רַק שֶׁיֵּשׁ אֲנָשִׁים הָעֹכְרִים אֶתְכֶם וַחֲפֵצִים לַהֲפֹךְ אֶת־בְּשׂוֹרַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ	7 For there is no other, except that there are some persons who disturb you and who want to overturn the Gospel of Christ.
8 אֲבָל גַּם־אֲנַחְנוּ אוֹ־מַלְאָךְ מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם אִם־יָבוֹא לְבַשֵּׂר אֶתְכֶם בְּשׂוֹרָה מִבַּלְעֲדֵי זֹאת אֲשֶׁר בִּשַּׂרְנוּ אֶתְכֶם חֵרֶם יִהְיֶה	8 But if anyone, even we ourselves or an Angel from Heaven, were to preach to you a gospel other than the one that we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
9 כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַרְנוּ כְבָר כֵּן־אֹמַר עַתָּה עוֹד־הַפָּעַם אִישׁ כִּי־יְבַשֵּׂר אֶתְכֶם בְּשׂוֹרָה מִבַּלְעֲדֵי אֲשֶׁר קִבַּלְתֶּם חֵרֶם יִהְיֶה	9 Just as we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone has preached a gospel to you, other than that which you have received, let him be anathema.
10 וְעַתָּה הֲמִתְרַצֶּה אָנֹכִי אֶל־בְּנֵי אָדָם אִם אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים אוֹ הַמְבַקֵּשׁ אָנֹכִי לִמְצֹא־חֵן בְּעֵינֵי בְנֵי־אָדָם כִּי בְּמָצְאִי חֵן בְּעֵינֵי בְנֵי־אָדָם לֹא־אֶהְיֶה עוֹד עֶבֶד הַמָּשִׁיחַ	10 For am I now persuading men, or God? Or, am I seeking to please men? If I still were pleasing men, then I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 אֲבָל מוֹדִיעַ אֲנִי אֶתְכֶם אֶחָי כִּי הַבְּשׂוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר בִּשַּׂרְתִּי לֹא־לְפִי דֶרֶךְ־אָדָם הִיא	11 For I would have you understand, brothers, that the Gospel which has been preached by me is not according to man.
12 כִּי גַם אָנֹכִי לֹא קִבַּלְתִּיהָ מֵאָדָם וְלֹא־לִמְּדוּנִי אֹתָהּ כִּי אִם־בְּחֶזְיוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	12 And I did not receive it from man, nor did I learn it, except through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 כִּי הֲלֹא־שְׁמַעְתֶּם אֶת־דַּרְכִּי אֲשֶׁר הִתְהַלַּכְתִּי מִלְּפָנִים בֵּין הַיְּהוּדִים וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר־רָדַפְתִּי עַל־יֶתֶר אֶת־עֲדַת אֱלֹהִים וְאִבַּדְתִּיהָ	13 For you have heard of my former behavior within Judaism: that, beyond measure, I persecuted the Church of God and fought against Her.
14 וָאֱהִי הוֹלֵךְ וְחָזֵק בַּדָּת הַיְּהוּדִית עַל־רַבִּים מִבְּנֵי גִילִי בְּעַמִּי בְּקִנְאָתִי הַגְּדוֹלָה לְקַבְּלוֹת אֲבוֹתָי	14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my equals among my own kind, having proven to be more abundant in zeal toward the traditions of my fathers.
15 אַךְ כַּאֲשֶׁר הָיָה רְצוֹן הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר הִבְדִּיל אֹתִי מֵרֶחֶם אִמִּי וַיִּקְרָאֵנִי בְּחַסְדּוֹ	15 But, when it pleased him who, from my mother’s womb, had set me apart, and who has called me by his grace,
16 לְגַלּוֹת בִּי אֶת־בְּנוֹ שֶׁאֲבַשְּׂרֶנּוּ בַּגּוֹיִם כְּרֶגַע לֹא נוֹעַצְתִּי עִם־בָּשָׂר וָדָם	16 to reveal his Son within me, so that I might evangelize him among the Gentiles, I did not next seek the consent of flesh and blood.
17 גַּם לֹא־עָלִיתִי יְרוּשָׁלַיִם אֶל־אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ שְׁלִיחִים לְפָנָי כִּי אִם־הָלַכְתִּי לַעֲרָב וּמִשָּׁם שַׁבְתִּי אֶל־דַּמָּשֶׂק	17 Neither did I go to Jerusalem, to those who were Apostles before me. Instead, I went into Arabia, and next I returned to Damascus.
18 אַחֲרֵי־כֵן מִקֵּץ שָׁלשׁ שָׁנִים עָלִיתִי יְרוּשָׁלַיִם לִרְאוֹת אֶת־כֵּיפָא וָאֵשֵׁב עִמּוֹ חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם	18 And then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter; and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
19 וְאַחֵר מִן־הַשְּׁלִיחִים לֹא־רָאִיתִי זוּלָתִי אֶת־יַעֲקֹב אֲחִי אֲדֹנֵינוּ	19 But I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the brother of the Lord.
20 וַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי כֹתֵב אֲלֵיכֶם הִנֵּה נֶגֶד הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי לֹא אֲכַזֵּב	20 Now what I am writing to you: behold, before God, I am not lying.
21 אַחֲרֵי־כֵן בָּאתִי אֶל־גְּלִילוֹת סוּרְיָא וְקִילִיקְיָא	21 Next, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 אֲבָל קְהִלּוֹת יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר בַּמָּשִׁיחַ הֵנָּה לֹא יָדְעוּ אֶת־פָּנָי	22 But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ.
23 רַק־זֹאת בִּלְבַד שָׁמְעוּ כִּי־הָאִישׁ הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר הָיָה רֹדֵף אֹתָנוּ מֵאָז עַתָּה הוּא מְבַשֵּׂר אֶת־הָאֱמוּנָה אֲשֶׁר הֶאֱבִידָהּ מִלְּפָנִים	23 For they had only heard that: “He, who formerly persecuted us, now evangelizes the faith which he once fought.”
24 וַיְהַלְלוּ בִי אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים	24 And they glorified God in me.
