1 Na akus likure nin na nas nnin kata, nkuru in ghana u Urushalima nin Barnabas, in yira Titus ku ti gya ligowe.
FOURTEEN years afterwards I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also along with us.
2 Nwa ghana ndo bara na Kutellẹ wa dursoi ndo. Nwa durso nani kanang uliru tucu ulenge na ndin bellu kitik nalumai. ( Nwa su ulirẹ likot nan nadidya mine). Bara katwa ninghe na imalsu, nin ka na nma kuru nsu wa so hem.
And I went up then by revelation, and laid before them that gospel which I preach among the Heathen, but in private conference with those who were of the first importance, that haply I might not run, nor had run in vain.
3 Ko ame Titus na awadi ninmi, na awadi ku Hilinawa, iwa tighe akala kucuhru gbas. Nani wa se nani,
And even Titus, who was with me, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised:
4 Bari nuana kinu na iwa dak likire ida idayen lissosin limang bit na tiwa dimun nan nya Kristi Yisa. Iwa dinin su iti nari tiso acin kiti nduka.
but this I did because of false brethren artfully introduced, who came to pry into our liberty which we hold in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 Na arik nani ati kitimine ba ko nin kubiri båt, bara kidegen nlirun tuchu nan so kitimine sa ukpillu.
to whom not even for an hour have we yielded subjection, that the truth of the gospel might abide with you.
6 Inung alenge na among na woro inughere anan bune na ina su imonmonba. Sa iwa di iyaghari kiti nin na imonmonari ba. Na Kutellẹ din sesu imon ile na idin su kibinayi nnit usurne ba.
But from those who appeared men of the greatest importance, (what sort of men soever they were it maketh no difference to me: God accepteth not a man’s person; ) for these important personages in conference added nothing to me;
7 Bara nani wang mere ina ni ulirun tuchue udu kiti na nan nacuru, nafo Bitrus na iwa nigne ucindu kiti na nan kalzu nacuru.
but contrariwise when they saw that I was entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcision, as Peter was to the circumcision:
8 Bara Kutellẹ, na anasu kata nan nya Bitrus gono kadura kiti nalenge na ina kalza acuru nanere wang ana su katwa nan nya ning udu kiti nalumai.
(for he that wrought powerfully by Peter in his apostolic mission to the circumcision, wrought mightily also by me among the Gentiles.)
9 Na iwa yinnin ubollẹ na Kutellẹ nasui, Yakub, Kefas, nin Yuhana, alenge na iwa yiru nani adidya liyissin wa Barnabas ku nin mi ucara ncine lidondong. Bara arik nan do kiti nalumai inung do kiti na nan kalzu nacuru.
And when they knew the grace which was bestowed on me, James and Cephas and John, who appeared to be the pillars of the church, gave unto me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision:
10 Tutung iwa di ninsu ti lizinin nin nikimon, imon ilenge na meng wang wadi nisu nsure ine kang.
only desiring that we would remember the poor―the very thing which I have also been diligent to perform.
11 Kubi ko na Kefas wa dak Antakiya, Nwa yisin nmuro me nbellinghe uliru bara na awa tån.
But when Peter came to Antioch I withstood him to his face, because he was blameable.
12 Kefas wa din lizu nimonli nin nalumai, a among anit unuzu kitin Yakub dutu sa udak. Na anit ane nda, a wunno kidowo anin tasa ligome nin na Lumaiye, bara fiu nanit ale na inamalu kalzu nacuru mine.
For before certain persons came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles, but when they were come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.
13 Nanere wang ngisin na Yahudawẹ wa dofin Kefase ku nan nya nrusuzu nati. Nanere Barnabas wang litime wa dofin nani nan nya kani karusuze.
And the other Jews were guilty of the same dissimulation with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.
14 Na nwa nin yene nwo na idin dortu kidegen nliru tucuba, Nbelle Kefase ku nbun mine vat, ''Andi fe na udi ku Yahudawa umini sosin nafo kilumai na nafo ku Yahudawa ba, iyizari udin tizzu Alumai iso nafo a Yahudawa?''
But when I saw that they walked not directly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to judaize?
15 Arike na tidi a Yahudawa unuzu kumat a na ''Alumai yari anan nalapi ba.''
We who are Jews by descent, and not sinners sprung from Gentiles,
16 Yinnon nenge na umong unit duku na ama sortu nacara nkul bara katwa nin dortun duka ba se nin yinnu sa uyenu nan nya Yisa Kristi. Tina dak nan nya in yinnu sa uyenu in Kristi Yisa bara tina se usurtu unuzun in yinnu sa uyenu nan nya Kristi na nin nitwa nduka ba, bara kusari nduka na unan lai urum ba surtuba.
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law; because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 Vat nani andi konene tiba pizuru Kutellẹ tinan se usurtu nan nya asa tise atibite anan nalapi, Kriste nso unan katwa kulapï? Na nanere ba!
For if seeking to be justified by Christ, we also ourselves should be found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? God forbid.
18 Bara andi meng ba kuru in wutu kimal ln yinnu nin duka tutung, uyinnu ule na ina nari, meng so unan patulu nduka.
For if I build up again the very same things which I have pulled down, I stamp myself a transgressor.
19 Bara nan nya nduka, meng na ku kulin duka, nnan so nin lai kiti Kutellẹ.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I should live unto God.
20 Iwa kottini kitene kucca ligowe nin Kristi. Na mere nene ming litininghe ba, unin ulai ulenge na in dumun nan nya kidowo, nsosin nan nya in yinnu sa uyenu in Gono Kutellẹ, ule na ana ti usu ning anä litime bara meng.
I am crucified with Christ, yet I live; though no more I, but Christ liveth in me: and my present life in the flesh, is a life by faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and delivered up himself for me.
21 Na meng nati nin bollu Kutellẹ hem ba, bara adi uyiti nlau din nuzu ndukari, ukul in Kristi nso hem.
I do not set at nought the grace of God; for if righteousness came by the law, truly Christ hath died in vain.
