Kalatih 2

1 Acunüng, kum xaleikphyü angvei käna Tihtuh pi cehpüi lü, Banabah am Jerusalem khawa kani hang cit beki.

Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

2 Pamhnam naw ka ceh vaia mdanak na mhmuh se ka citkia kyaki. Khyangmjükce he veia ka sang khawia thangkdaw cun angvai he veia pi ngbämnaka ka jah mtheh khaiki. Ajana kcün üng ka bilawh pänga pi kyase atuh ka bilawha pi kyase amdanga akya vai am ka ngaiki.

I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach amongst the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

3 Ka hlawnga awmki, Tihtuh cun Krik khyanga kyase pi amthuia a vun am mawihsak u.

But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

4 Avang naw ta a vun mawih vai ami täng. Khritaw Jesuh üng kami taka lätnaka mawng hmu khai hea jumeiki hlawk hlawka ahina khyang he kami ksunga anghmüa lutki he. Tamna ami jah pawh hlü.

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

5 Cunsepi thangkdaw, ngthungtak cun sungkham akyanak vaia phäha asängca hman pi ami ngthua keha am awm u nawng.

to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.

6 Mkhawnga kya kyaw u sepi keia phäha ta ami hngalangnak am ve. Pamhnam naw akpung da teng lü ä mtaiki. Khyang ngvai hea veia ka pyen hlü ta, “Akthai mcäinak keia phäha am hlü.”

But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

7 Mhnam naw Pita Judah he veia thangkdaw sang khaia khutbi a peta kba, kei pi ani naw khyangmjükce he veia thangkdaw sangnak khut a na petia hmuki he.

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—

8 Judah he phäha Pita ngsäa mcawna kba, kei pi Pamhnama johit am khyangmjükce he phäha ngsäa mcawna ka kyaki.

for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—

9 Mkhawnga ami jah ngaih Jakuk, Pita la Johan naw, Pamhnam naw ahina khutbi kei üng pi na peki ti ngsingsaki he. Acunakyase kami van kami khüi hmaihki ti msingnak vaia Banabah la kei jah hnuksetki he. Banabah la kei khyangmjükce he ksunga khutbi pawh ning se amimi cun Judah he ksunga khutbi pawh khai hea kami mkhyäpki.

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

10 Ami ksunga khuikha m'yenkseki he jah süm nglät vaia avan naw ami jah mcäi, acuna khutbi cun ka pawh vaia kamät naw pi akcüka ka bü kunga kyaki.

They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

11 Acunüng, Pita Antioka law se khyang he maa ka ksenak. Hma kungkia kyase ni.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

12 Jakuka jah tüih lawa khyang hea am ami pha law ham üng Pita cun jumeiki khyangmjükce am atänga ei hmaihki. Acunsepi khyang hea pha law käna, vun mawih vai ktungnaki he jah kyüh lü khyangmjükce he hlawnga am ei lü pyaiki.

For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

13 Jumeikia Judah khyang he pi Pita am atänga yailei hnga u lü awmki he naw Banabah pi yaileina u se ami hlawnga ngkhawki.

And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

14 Thangkdaw üng am ami cehcawn ka jah ksing law üng Pitaa veia, “Nang Judah khyanga na kyaki cunsepi Judah khyanga mäiha am xüngsei lü khyangmjükce hea mäiha na xüngseiki. Acunüng ihawkba khyangmjükce he Judah khyang hea kba xüngsei khai hea amthuia na jah ngtünsaki ni?” ti lü avana ma ka pyen.

But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

15 Khyang he naw “Khyangka khyangmjükcea” ami jah suia kba am kya u lü, akcanga Judah khyanga kami hmi lawki.

“We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,

16 Cunsepi khyang cun Thuma pyen a pawhnak am ngdüngdaikia am kya lü, Jesuh Khritaw a jumeinak däng am ni ngdüngdaikia akya ve. Keimi pi Khritaw kami jumnak am Pamhnam üng kami ngsungpyun khaia Khritaw Jesuh kami jumeiki. Thum kami läka phäha am kya. U pi Thuma ti pawh lü am mi ngsungpyun thei.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

17 Acunüng Khritaw üng Pamhnama veia ngsungpyun vai kami kthanaka phäha Khyangmjükce he mäiha khyangka kami kya hngaki aw? Khritaw cun mkhyekat jah pawh sakia kyaki aw? Am kya.

But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!

18 Ka kpyeh pänga Thuma ninge läk vaia ka tünei be üngta, kamät cun khyang hea veia Thum kpyehkia ka ngdan saki ni.

For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

19 Thuma awma küt üng kei cun ka thiki. Isetiakyaküng Thum naw a na hnima kyaki. Acun cun Pamhnama phäha ka xünseinak vaia phäha kyaki ni. Kei cun Khritaw am atänga ania kutlamktunga khana ka thiki.

For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.

20 Acunakyase kamät am xüng ti veng. Khritaw kei üng xüngki. Atuh ka xünak cun na mhläkphya na lü amäta xünak na pekia Pamhnama Capa ka jumnak am ni ka xün ve.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.

21 Pamhnama bäkhäknak am ma veng. Thuma phäha ngdüngdainak yah theia akya üng Khritaw amdanga thikia kya khai.

I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
