1:1
Παῦλος ἀπόστολος, οὐκ ἀπ’ ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ δι’ ἀνθρώπου ἀλλὰ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ ἐγείραντος αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν,
Paulus, Apostolus non ab hominibus, neque per hominem, sed per Jesum Christum, et Deum Patrem, qui suscitavit eum a mortuis :
እምጳውሎስ ሐዋርያ ዘኢኮነ በእንተ ሰብእ ወኢኮነ እምኀበ ሰብእ ዘእንበለ በእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ወእግዚአብሔር አብ ዘአንሥኦ እሙታን።
Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
1:2
καὶ οἱ σὺν ἐμοὶ πάντες ἀδελφοί, ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας·
et qui mecum sunt omnes fratres, ecclesiis Galatiae.
ወእምኵሎሙ አኀዊነ እለ ምስሌየ ለቤተ ክርስቲያን ዘገላትያ።
and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
1:3
χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς καὶ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre, et Domino nostro Jesu Christo,
ሰላም ለክሙ ወጸጋ እግዚአብሔር አቡነ ወእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ።
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
1:4
τοῦ δόντος ἑαυτὸν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ὅπως ἐξέληται ἡμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος πονηροῦ κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς ἡμῶν,
qui dedit semetipsum pro peccatis nostris, ut eriperet nos de praesenti saeculo nequam, secundum voluntatem Dei et Patris nostri,
ዘመጠወ ርእሶ በእንተ ኀጢአትነ ከመ ያድኅነነ እምዝንቱ ዓለም ዘይትቃወም በእኩይ በፈቃደ እግዚአብሔር አቡነ።
who 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—
1:5
ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.
cui est gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
ዘሎቱ ስብሐት ለዓለመ ዓለም አሜን።
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
1:6
Θαυμάζω ὅτι οὕτως ταχέως μετατίθεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ καλέσαντος ὑμᾶς ἐν χάριτι Χριστοῦ εἰς ἕτερον εὐαγγέλιον,
Miror quod sic tam cito transferimini ab eo qui vos vocavit in gratiam Christi in aliud Evangelium :
እነክረክሙ እፎ ከመዝ ፍጡነ ያፈልሱክሙ እምሃይማኖተ ክርስቶስ ዘጸውዐክሙ በጸጋሁ ውስተ ካልእ ትምህርት።
I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
1:7
ὃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλο· εἰ μή τινές εἰσιν οἱ ταράσσοντες ὑμᾶς καὶ θέλοντες μεταστρέψαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
quod non est aliud, nisi sunt aliqui qui vos conturbant, et volunt convertere Evangelium Christi.
ዘኢኮነ ህልወ ዘእንበለ ዘየሀውኩክሙ ወይፈቅዱ ይዕልዉ ትምህርቶ ለክርስቶስ።
but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
1:8
ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εὐαγγελίσηται παρ’ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν, ἀνάθεμα ἔστω.
Sed licet nos aut angelus de caelo evangelizet vobis praeterquam quod evangelizavimus vobis, anathema sit.
ወባሕቱ አንትሙ አሠረ ዚኣነ ትልዉ አንትሙሰ መልአክ እምሰማይ ለእመ መሀረክሙ ካልአ እምዘመሀርናክሙ ውጉዘ ለይኩን።
But 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.
1:9
ὡς προειρήκαμεν, καὶ ἄρτι πάλιν λέγω, εἴ τις ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελίζεται παρ’ ὃ παρελάβετε, ἀνάθεμα ἔστω.
Sicut praediximus, et nunc iterum dico : si quis vobis evangelizaverit praeter id quod accepistis, anathema sit.
በከመ እቤ ቀዳሚ ወይእዜኒ ካዕበ እብል ለእመ ቦ ዘመሀረክሙ ካልአ እምዘመሀርናክሙ ውጉዘ ለይኩን።
As 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.
1:10
ἄρτι γὰρ ἀνθρώπους πείθω ἢ τὸν θεόν; ἢ ζητῶ ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκειν; εἰ ἔτι ἀνθρώποις ἤρεσκον, Χριστοῦ δοῦλος οὐκ ἂν ἤμην.
Modo enim hominibus suadeo, an Deo ? an quaero hominibus placere ? si adhuc hominibus placerem, Christi servus non essem.
ወይእዜሰ ለሰብእኑ ነአምን ወአኮ ለእግዚአብሔር ወእመሰኬ እፈቅድ ለሰብእ አድሉ ኢኮንኩኬ ገብሮ ለክርስቶስ።
For 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.
1:11
Γνωρίζω δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν ὑπ’ ἐμοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν κατὰ ἄνθρωπον·
Notum enim vobis facio, fratres, Evangelium, quod evangelizatum est a me, quia non est secundum hominem :
እነግረክሙ አኀዊነ እስመ ትምህርት ዘመሀርኩክሙ ኢኮነ በእንተ ሰብእ።
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
1:12
οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐγὼ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου παρέλαβον αὐτό, οὔτε ἐδιδάχθην, ἀλλὰ δι’ ἀποκαλύψεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
neque enim ego ab homine accepi illud, neque didici, sed per revelationem Jesu Christi.
ወአነሂ አኮ እምኀበ ሰብእ ዘነሣእክዎ ወኢሂ መሀሩኒዮ ዳእሙ በዘከሠተ ሊተ እግዚእየ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ።
For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
1:13
ἠκούσατε γὰρ τὴν ἐμὴν ἀναστροφήν ποτε ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ, ὅτι καθ’ ὑπερβολὴν ἐδίωκον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπόρθουν αὐτήν,
Audistis enim conversationem meam aliquando in Judaismo : quoniam supra modum persequebar Ecclesiam Dei, et expugnabam illam,
ወሰማዕክሙ ግዕዝየ ዘትካት ዘአመ ሀሎኩ ውስተ አይሁድ ከመ ፈድፋደ ሰደድኩ ቤተ ክርስቲያኑ ለእግዚአብሔር ወአመንዘዝክዎሙ።
For 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.
1:14
καὶ προέκοπτον ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ ὑπὲρ πολλοὺς συνηλικιώτας ἐν τῷ γένει μου, περισσοτέρως ζηλωτὴς ὑπάρχων τῶν πατρικῶν μου παραδόσεων.
et proficiebam in Judaismo supra multos coaetaneos meos in genere meo, abundantius aemulator existens paternarum mearum traditionum.
ወከበርኩ በውስተ አይሁድ ፈድፋደ እምኵሉ ቢጽየ በውስተ ሕዝብየ እስመ ፈድፋደ ኮንኩ ቀናኤ ለሕገ አበውየ።
I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
1:15
ὅτε δὲ εὐδόκησεν ὁ ἀφορίσας με ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου καὶ καλέσας διὰ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ
Cum autem placuit ei, qui me segregavit ex utero matris meae, et vocavit per gratiam suam,
ወአመ ሠምረ ወፈቀደ እግዚአብሔር ዘፈለጠኒ ወአውፅአኒ እምከርሠ እምየ ወጸውዐኒ በጸጋሁ።
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
1:16
ἀποκαλύψαι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἵνα εὐαγγελίζωμαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εὐθέως οὐ προσανεθέμην σαρκὶ καὶ αἵματι,
ut revelaret Filium suum in me, ut evangelizarem illum in gentibus : continuo non acquievi carni et sanguini,
ወከሠተ ሊተ ወልዶ ከመ ይትዐወቅ ስብሐተ ወልዱ በእዴየ ከመ እስብክ ለአሕዛብ በስሙ ወኢተለውኩ ሶቤሃ ዘሥጋ ወደም።
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
1:17
οὐδὲ ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα πρὸς τοὺς πρὸ ἐμοῦ ἀποστόλους, ἀλλὰ ἀπῆλθον εἰς Ἀραβίαν, καὶ πάλιν ὑπέστρεψα εἰς Δαμασκόν.
neque veni Jerosolymam ad antecessores meos Apostolos : sed abii in Arabiam, et iterum reversus sum Damascum :
ወኢዐረጉ ኢየሩሳሌም ኀበ ሐዋርያት ቀደምትየ ወሖርኩ ብሔረ ዐረብ ወካዕበ ተመየጥኩ ደማስቆ።
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
1:18
ἔπειτα μετὰ τρία ἔτη ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἱστορῆσαι Κηφᾶν, καὶ ἐπέμεινα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡμέρας δεκαπέντε·
deinde post annos tres veni Jerosolymam videre Petrum, et mansi apud eum diebus quindecim :
ወእምድኅረ ሠለስቱ ዓመት ዐረጉ ኢየሩሳሌም እርአዮ ለኬፋ ወነበርኩ ኀቤሁ ዐሡረ ወኀሙሰ መዋዕለ።
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
1:19
ἕτερον δὲ τῶν ἀποστόλων οὐκ εἶδον, εἰ μὴ Ἰάκωβον τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ κυρίου.
alium autem Apostolorum vidi neminem, nisi Jacobum fratrem Domini.
ወኢየአምር ባዕደ ሐዋርያተ ዘእንበለ ያዕቆብ እኁሁ ለእግዚእነ።
But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
1:20
ἃ δὲ γράφω ὑμῖν, ἰδοὺ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι.
Quae autem scribo vobis, ecce coram Deo, quia non mentior.
ወዘኒ ዘጸሐፍኩ ለክሙ ናሁ ቅድመ እግዚአብሔር ሀሎኩ ከመ ኢይሔሱ።
Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
1:21
ἔπειτα ἦλθον εἰς τὰ κλίματα τῆς Συρίας καὶ τῆς Κιλικίας.
Deinde veni in partes Syriae, et Ciliciae.
ወእምድኅረዝ በጻሕኩ ደወለ ቂልቅያ ወሶርያ።
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
1:22
ἤμην δὲ ἀγνοούμενος τῷ προσώπῳ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Ἰουδαίας ταῖς ἐν Χριστῷ,
Eram autem ignotus facie ecclesiis Judaeae, quae erant in Christo :
ወኢያእመሩኒ አብያተ ክርስቲያናት ዘብሔረ ይሁዳ እለ በክርስቶስ በገጽየ።
I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
1:23
μόνον δὲ ἀκούοντες ἦσαν ὅτι ὁ διώκων ἡμᾶς ποτε νῦν εὐαγγελίζεται τὴν πίστιν ἥν ποτε ἐπόρθει,
tantum autem auditum habebant quoniam qui persequebatur nos aliquando, nunc evangelizat fidem, quam aliquando expugnabat :
ወዳእሙ ሰምዑ ዜናየ ዝኩአ ዘትካት ይሰድድ ይእዜ ይሰብክ ትምህርተ ሃይማኖት።
but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
1:24
καὶ ἐδόξαζον ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸν θεόν.
et in me clarificabant Deum.
ወይሴብሕዎ ለእግዚአብሔር በእንቲኣየ።
So they glorified God in me.
