Galatians 1

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
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 Paulus, Apostolus non ab hominibus, neque per hominem, sed per Jesum Christum, et Deum Patrem, qui suscitavit eum a mortuis :
2 and al the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.	2 et qui mecum sunt omnes fratres, ecclesiis Galatiæ.
3 Grace and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ	3 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre, et Domino nostro Jesu Christo,
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 qui dedit semetipsum pro peccatis nostris, ut eriperet nos de præsenti sæculo nequam, secundum voluntatem Dei et Patris nostri,
5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.	5 cui est gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
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 Miror quod sic tam cito transferimini ab eo qui vos vocavit in gratiam Christi in aliud Evangelium :
7 not that it is another gospel; except that there are trouble-makers among you who are seeking to pervertthe gospel of Christ.	7 quod non est aliud, nisi sunt aliqui qui vos conturbant, et volunt convertere Evangelium Christi.
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 Sed licet nos aut angelus de cælo evangelizet vobis præterquam quod evangelizavimus vobis, anathema sit.
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 Sicut prædiximus, et nunc iterum dico : si quis vobis evangelizaverit præter id quod accepistis, anathema sit.
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 Modo enim hominibus suadeo, an Deo ? an quæro hominibus placere ? si adhuc hominibus placerem, Christi servus non essem.
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 Notum enim vobis facio, fratres, Evangelium, quod evangelizatum est a me, quia non est secundum hominem :
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 neque enim ego ab homine accepi illud, neque didici, sed per revelationem Jesu Christi.
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 Audistis enim conversationem meam aliquando in Judaismo : quoniam supra modum persequebar Ecclesiam Dei, et expugnabam illam,
14 and how, in Judaism, I outstripped most of my Jewish contemporaries in my limitless enthusiasm forthe traditions of my ancestors.	14 et proficiebam in Judaismo supra multos coætaneos meos in genere meo, abundantius æmulator existens paternarum mearum traditionum.
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 Cum autem placuit ei, qui me segregavit ex utero matris meæ, et vocavit per gratiam suam,
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 ut revelaret Filium suum in me, ut evangelizarem illum in gentibus : continuo non acquievi carni et sanguini,
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 neque veni Jerosolymam ad antecessores meos Apostolos : sed abii in Arabiam, et iterum reversus sum Damascum :
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to meet Cephas. I stayed fifteen days with him	18 deinde post annos tres veni Jerosolymam videre Petrum, et mansi apud eum diebus quindecim :
19 but did not set eyes on any of the rest of the apostles, only James, the Lord's brother.	19 alium autem Apostolorum vidi neminem, nisi Jacobum fratrem Domini.
20 I swear before God that what I have written is the truth.	20 Quæ autem scribo vobis, ecce coram Deo, quia non mentior.
21 After that I went to places in Syria and Cilicia;	21 Deinde veni in partes Syriæ, et Ciliciæ.
22 and was stil unknown by sight to the churches of Judaea which are in Christ,	22 Eram autem ignotus facie ecclesiis Judææ, quæ erant in Christo :
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 tantum autem auditum habebant quoniam qui persequebatur nos aliquando, nunc evangelizat fidem, quam aliquando expugnabat :
24 and they gave glory to God for me.	24 et in me clarificabant Deum.
