1 P aulo, apóstolo enviado, não da parte de homens nem por meio de pessoa alguma, mas por Jesus Cristo e por Deus Pai, que o ressuscitou dos mortos,

Paul, an apostle— not from men nor by or through any man, but by and through Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and God the Father, Who raised Him from among the dead—

2 e todos os irmãos que estão comigo, às igrejas da Galácia:

And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

3 A vocês, graça e paz da parte de Deus nosso Pai e do Senhor Jesus Cristo,

Grace and spiritual blessing be to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah),

4 q ue se entregou a si mesmo por nossos pecados a fim de nos resgatar desta presente era perversa, segundo a vontade de nosso Deus e Pai,

Who gave (yielded) Himself up '> to atone] for our sins '> to save and sanctify us], in order to rescue and deliver us from this present wicked age and world order, in accordance with the will and purpose and plan of our God and Father—

5 a quem seja a glória para todo o sempre. Amém. Não Há Outro Evangelho

To Him the glory through all the ages of the ages and the eternities of the eternities! Amen (so be it).

6 A dmiro-me de que vocês estejam abandonando tão rapidamente aquele que os chamou pela graça de Cristo, para seguirem outro evangelho

I am surprised and astonished that you are so quickly turning renegade and deserting Him Who invited and called you by the grace (unmerited favor) of Christ (the Messiah) to a different gospel.

7 q ue, na realidade, não é o evangelho. O que ocorre é que algumas pessoas os estão perturbando, querendo perverter o evangelho de Cristo.

Not that there is any other, but there are some who are troubling and disturbing and bewildering you '> with a different kind of teaching which they offer as a gospel] and want to pervert and distort the Gospel of Christ (the Messiah).

8 M as ainda que nós ou um anjo dos céus pregue um evangelho diferente daquele que lhes pregamos, que seja amaldiçoado!

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to and different from that which we preached to you, let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)!

9 C omo já dissemos, agora repito: Se alguém lhes anuncia um evangelho diferente daquele que já receberam, que seja amaldiçoado!

As we said before, so I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel different from or contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)!

10 A caso busco eu agora a aprovação dos homens ou a de Deus? Ou estou tentando agradar a homens? Se eu ainda estivesse procurando agradar a homens, não seria servo de Cristo. Paulo, Chamado por Deus

Now am I trying to win the favor of men, or of God? Do I seek to please men? If I were still seeking popularity with men, I should not be a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).

11 I rmãos, quero que saibam que o evangelho por mim anunciado não é de origem humana.

For I want you to know, brethren, that the Gospel which was proclaimed and made known by me is not man’s gospel.

12 N ão o recebi de pessoa alguma nem me foi ele ensinado; ao contrário, eu o recebi de Jesus Cristo por revelação.

For indeed I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation by Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

13 V ocês ouviram qual foi o meu procedimento no judaísmo, como perseguia com violência a igreja de Deus, procurando destruí-la.

You have heard of my earlier career and former manner of life in the Jewish religion (Judaism), how I persecuted and abused the church of God furiously and extensively, and to make havoc of it and destroy it.

14 N o judaísmo, eu superava a maioria dos judeus da minha idade, e era extremamente zeloso das tradições dos meus antepassados.

And I outstripped many of the men of my own generation among the people of my race in Judaism, so extremely enthusiastic and zealous I was for the traditions of my ancestors.

15 M as Deus me separou desde o ventre materno e me chamou por sua graça. Quando lhe agradou

But when He, Who had chosen and set me apart before I was born and had called me by His grace (His undeserved favor and blessing), saw fit and was pleased

16 r evelar o seu Filho em mim para que eu o anunciasse entre os gentios, não consultei pessoa alguma.

To reveal (unveil, disclose) His Son within me so that I might proclaim Him among the Gentiles (the non-Jewish world) as the glad tidings (Gospel), immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood.

17 T ampouco subi a Jerusalém para ver os que já eram apóstolos antes de mim, mas de imediato parti para a Arábia, e voltei outra vez a Damasco.

Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles (special messengers of Christ) before I was, but I went away and retired into Arabia, and afterward I came back again to Damascus.

18 D epois de três anos, subi a Jerusalém para conhecer Pedro pessoalmente, e estive com ele quinze dias.

Then three years later, I did go up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas (Peter), and remained with him for fifteen days.

20 Q uanto ao que lhes escrevo, afirmo diante de Deus que não minto.

They were only hearing it said, He who used to persecute us is now proclaiming the very faith he once reviled and which he set out to ruin and tried with all his might to destroy.

24 E glorificavam a Deus por minha causa.

And they glorified God in me.
