< Galatiyawa 2 >

1 Nakima, u ise wlon don nzah a kle, mi ka k'ma hi ni Wurushelima bu Barnabas, mi ka ban Titus ti'a ni me.
Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2 Mi k'ma hi don Irji tsro me dume k'ma hi. Se mika tsro ba duba tre wa mi si tie ni mi bi kora. Mi tre ba ni yayib ni bi wa ba bi ninkon, du ba toh ndi mina si tsutsu na, ko mina tsutsu u migyen na
I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.
3 Nakima u Titus, wa ahe nime a Bahelini ba you ni gbengblen duba yo nji niwu.
Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
4 Itre i lunde nimi mri vayi bi ce a, baka ye ni mi mbu ni ya y'bi duba toh yanchi wa ki he niwu nimi Yesu Almasihu. Ba son ndi ba k'ma ta tie gran,
This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.
5 Naki, kita kina no ba tumbu ko ni nton ri na, u njanji tre ka krie ba sake ni yu'u.
We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
6 Naki, baba biwa ba toh babi ndindima, bana zo me ni kpe na, ni bi son tumba, Irji na kpa ndji wa indji ba son u na.
But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism —those leaders added nothing to me.
7 Nakima baka toh ba ban dub tre ne ni bi wa bana you nji ni bawu na, na yada ba no Bitrus dub tre ni biwa ba yo'u nji ni bawu.
On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
8 Naki, Irji wa asi tie ndu nimi Bitrus ani toh ndu hi ni biwa ba yo'u nji ni bawu, naki asi tie ndu nimi mu hi ni bi kora.
For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
9 Ni Yakubu, Kefas, ni Yohana wa ba toh ba baba i bi wa ba meh iklisiya, baka toh ndindi wa ba ban nne, ba ka nota wo ko ri u wa ki katu mbi ni Barnabas, ba tie naki don duta ki hi ni bi korah, u baba baka hi ni bi wa ba yo'u nji ni bawu'a.
And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
10 Baka son ndi duta ri mre bi ti yah i meme mi he ni mre u tie naki me.
They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
11 Da Kefas a hi ni Antiyok, mika sen nyu niwu ni shishi ma domin wawu i lah tre.
When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.
12 Kefas azi ri biri ni bi korah ba, indji bari baka ye ni Yakubu, da indji biyi ba ye, wa ka dome ni ri biri ni ba, nda chu tuma rju ni bikorah asi klu sissri ndi bi wa basi wa yo'u nji'a
For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.
13 Nakima ibru Yahudawa wa ba he niwu ba hu meme nkon ma. Nakima i Barnabas me aka hu meme mba.
The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14 Da mi toh bana hu njanji na wa ahe ni mi tre, mi hla ni Kefas ni shishi mba wawu mba'u inde wu u Bayahudi, u wu si zren na bi kora na, wu ka zren na Yahudawa, ni he wu yo'u bi kora duba k'ma tie na Yahudawa?
When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
15 Kita biwa ki Yahudawa ni ngrji ana bi kora bi lahtre na.
We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
16 Bika toh indrjo na gbuj'bu ni ndutron na. Nakima i ba gbuj'bu nitu njanji ni mi Almasihu. Ki ye nimi Almasihu Yesu don ki gbuj'bu ni njanji ni mi Almasihu Yesu don ki gbuj'bu ni njanji ni mi Almasihu, ana he ni tu ndu tron, don indu tron ba ndji wa ani gbuj'bu'a.
know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17 Inde ki wa Irji, iki gbuj'bu ni mi Almasihu, Ki toh tumbu bi latre kena, Almasihu hi indji u lah tre mu? Ana njanjina.
But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!
18 Inde mi la yo suron mu nitu tron, yo suron wa mi yo'u ni gon, mi tsro tu mu, mi indji u tron ce kena.
If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
19 Nitu tron mi kwu ni tron, dume mi zren irin u Irji.
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
20 Ba kpan me rju kukro ni Almasihu, ana me i misi zren na, aman ahi Almasihu si zren ni mimu. Izren wa misi zren zizan'a ahi u kpah, misi zren ni njanji u Vren Irji wa a son me nda no tuma ni tuma.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21 Mina chu ndindiIrji zi kosan na, inde zren whewhre ni he riba ni tron, u Almasihu kwu migyen.
I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
