Galatians 1

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 From Paul, an apostle appointed not by human beings nor through any human being but by JesusChrist and God the Father who raised him from the dead,	1 بولس رسول لا من الناس ولا بانسان بل بيسوع المسيح والله الآب الذي اقامه من الاموات
2 and al the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.	2 وجميع الاخوة الذين معي الى كنائس غلاطية.
3 Grace and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ	3 نعمة لكم وسلام من الله الآب ومن ربنا يسوع المسيح
4 who gave himself for our sins to liberate us from this present wicked world, in accordance with the wil ofour God and Father,	4 الذي بذل نفسه لاجل خطايانا لينقذنا من العالم الحاضر الشرير حسب ارادة الله وابينا
5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.	5 الذي له المجد الى ابد الآبدين. آمين
6 I am astonished that you are so promptly turning away from the one who cal ed you in the grace ofChrist and are going over to a different gospel-	6 اني اتعجب انكم تنتقلون هكذا سريعا عن الذي دعاكم بنعمة المسيح الى انجيل آخر
7 not that it is another gospel; except that there are trouble-makers among you who are seeking to pervertthe gospel of Christ.	7 ليس هو آخر غير انه يوجد قوم يزعجونكم ويريدون ان يحوّلوا انجيل المسيح.
8 But even if we ourselves or an angel from heaven preaches to you a gospel other than the one wepreached to you, let God's curse be on him.	8 ولكن ان بشرناكم نحن او ملاك من السماء بغير ما بشرناكم فليكن اناثيما.
9 I repeat again what we declared before: anyone who preaches to you a gospel other than the one youwere first given is to be under God's curse.	9 كما سبقنا فقلنا اقول الآن ايضا ان كان احد يبشركم في غير ما قبلتم فليكن اناثيما.
10 Whom am I trying to convince now, human beings or God? Am I trying to please human beings? If Iwere stil doing that I should not be a servant of Christ.	10 أفاستعطف الآن الناس ام الله. ام اطلب ان ارضي الناس. فلو كنت بعد ارضي الناس لم اكن عبدا للمسيح
11 Now I want to make it quite clear to you, brothers, about the gospel that was preached by me, that itwas no human message.	11 واعرّفكم ايها الاخوة الانجيل الذي بشرت به انه ليس بحسب انسان.
12 It was not from any human being that I received it, and I was not taught it, but it came to me through arevelation of Jesus Christ.	12 لاني لم اقبله من عند انسان ولا علّمته بل باعلان يسوع المسيح.
13 You have surely heard how I lived in the past, within Judaism, and how there was simply no limit to the way I persecuted the Church of God in my attempts to destroy it;	13 فانكم سمعتم بسيرتي قبلا في الديانة اليهودية اني كنت اضطهد كنيسة الله بافراط واتلفها.
14 and how, in Judaism, I outstripped most of my Jewish contemporaries in my limitless enthusiasm forthe traditions of my ancestors.	14 وكنت اتقدم في الديانة اليهودية على كثيرين من اترابي في جنسي اذ كنت اوفر غيرة في تقليدات آبائي.
15 But when God, who had set me apart from the time when I was in my mother's womb, cal ed methrough his grace and chose	15 ولكن لما سرّ الله الذي افرزني من بطن امي ودعاني بنعمته
16 to reveal his Son in me, so that I should preach him to the gentiles, I was in no hurry to confer with anyhuman being,	16 ان يعلن ابنه فيّ لابشر به بين الامم للوقت لم استشر لحما ودما
17 or to go up to Jerusalem to see those who were already apostles before me. Instead, I went off toArabia, and later I came back to Damascus.	17 ولا صعدت الى اورشليم الى الرسل الذين قبلي بل انطلقت الى العربية ثم رجعت ايضا الى دمشق.
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to meet Cephas. I stayed fifteen days with him	18 ثم بعد ثلاث سنين صعدت الى اورشليم لأتعرّف ببطرس فمكثت عنده خمسة عشر يوما.
19 but did not set eyes on any of the rest of the apostles, only James, the Lord's brother.	19 ولكنني لم ار غيره من الرسل الا يعقوب اخا الرب.
20 I swear before God that what I have written is the truth.	20 والذي اكتب به اليكم هوذا قدّام الله اني لست اكذب فيه.
21 After that I went to places in Syria and Cilicia;	21 وبعد ذلك جئت الى اقاليم سورية وكيليكية.
22 and was stil unknown by sight to the churches of Judaea which are in Christ,	22 ولكنني كنت غير معروف بالوجه عند كنائس اليهودية التي في المسيح
23 they simply kept hearing it said, 'The man once so eager to persecute us is now preaching the faiththat he used to try to destroy,'	23 غير انهم كانوا يسمعون ان الذي كان يضطهدنا قبلا يبشر الآن بالايمان الذي كان قبلا يتلفه.
24 and they gave glory to God for me.	24 فكانوا يمجدون الله فيّ
