< Galati 2 >

1 Te phoeikah kum hlaili ah Jerusalem la Barnabas neh koep ka cet rhoi tih Titu khaw ka khuen rhoi.
Then after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having also taken Titus with me;
2 Tedae pumphoenah neh ka caeh vaengah namtom taengkah ka hoe olthangthen nen ni amih ka pawnhlai. Amah van ah te rhoek a ming a om dongah a yong khaw a tlongtlai la a ka yong pawt khaming.
and I went up by revelation, and submitted the good news to them that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest I ran or might run in vain;
3 Tedae kai taengkah Greek hoel la aka om Titu pataeng te yahvinrhet ham tanolh pawh.
but not even Titus, who [is] with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised—
4 Tedae laithae manuca he a det uh dongah ni. Amih tah Khrih Jesuh ah ng'khueh mamih kah poenghalnah te dawn tih mamih he sal bi sak hamla yingyet uh.
and [that] because of the false brothers brought in unaware, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us under bondage,
5 Amih taengah khonoek pakhat ham pataeng boengainah ka khueh pa uh moenih. Te daengah ni olthangthen kah oltak loh nangmih taengah a om eh.
to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.
6 Tedae aka poek rhoek te khat khat dongah metla a om akhaw hnukbuet ah a om te kai ham tah olpuei moenih. Pathen loh hlang kah maelhmai khaw a doe moenih. Ka taengah he mingom long khaw a thaem moenih.
And from those who were esteemed to be something—whatever they were then, it makes no difference to me. God does not accept the face of man, for to me those esteemed added nothing,
7 Tedae kuplat la aka hmu loh yahvinrhetnah dongah pumdul kah olthangthen te Peter bangla ka tangnah.
but on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with [that] of the circumcision,
8 Peter loh yahvinrhetnah kah caeltueih te a tueng sak tih kai khaw namtom rhoek ham ka tueng sak.
for He who worked with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, worked also in me in regard to the nations,
9 Tedae kai taengah m'paek lungvatnah aka ming, James neh Kephas neh Johan, rhungsut la aka om ham mingom rhoek loh, rhoinaengnah bantang kut tah kamah neh Barnabas taengah a thoh uh. Te dongah namtom ham ka om uh tih amih te yahvinrhetnah taengah om van.
and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, they gave to me a right hand of fellowship, and to Barnabas, that we may go to the nations, and they to the circumcision,
10 khodaeng bueng he poek ham om mai. Te te saii ham te khaw bahoeng ka haam.
only, that we should be mindful of the poor, which I also was diligent—this very thing—to do.
11 Tedae Kephas he Antiok la ha pawk vaengah, coel hamla a om dongah a hmai ah ka mah.
And when Peter came to Antioch, I stood up against him to the face, because he was blameworthy,
12 James taengkah hlangvang te ha pawk hlan atah namtom taengah a caak. Tedae ha pawk uh vaengah tah yahvinrhetnah rhoek te a rhih. Te dongah tonga tih amah te hoep uh.
for before the coming of some from James, he was eating with the nations, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of circumcision,
13 Te vaengah a tloe Judah rhoek long khaw anih te a thailat puei. Te dongah Barnabas long pataeng amih kah thailatnah te a rhoihbaih.
and the other Jews acted hypocritically with him, so that Barnabas was also carried away by their hypocrisy.
14 Tedae olthangthen kah oltak bangla a caeh a thuem pawt te ka hmuh. Te dongah Kephas te hlang boeih hmaiah, “Nang Judah loh namtom bangla na om tih Judah bangla hing pawt atah, balae tih namtom te Judah bangla na tanolh,” ka ti nah.
But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of the nations, and not in the manner of the Jews, how do you compel the nations to live like Jews?
15 Mamih kah coengnah he Judah tih hlangtholh tah namtom kah tloe moenih.
We by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,
16 Jesuh Khrih kah tangnah lamlong pawt atah olkhueng dongkah khoboe loh hlang a tang sak pawt te khaw ming uh. Mamih loh Khrih Jesuh ni n'tangnah. Te daengah ni olkhueng kah khoboe nen pawt tih Khrih kah tangnah lamloh n'tang uh eh. Te dongah olkhueng kah khoboe loh pumsa boeih he tang sak mahpawh.
having also known that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, but through faith from Jesus Christ, we also believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be declared righteous by faith from Christ, and not by works of law, because no flesh will be declared righteous by works of law.”
17 Tedae Khrih ah tang ham aka tlap rhoek loh amamih khaw hlangtholh rhoek la m'hmuh uh atah Khrih he tholh kah tueihyoeih van maco. Tlamte om mahpawh.
And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we were also ourselves found sinners, [is] Christ then a servant of sin? Let it not be!
18 Ka phae tangtae rhoek te koep ka sak atah kamah he boekoekkung la ka tueng coeng.
For if the things I threw down, these again I build up, I set myself forth [as] a transgressor;
19 Kai tah olkhueng lamloh olkhueng taengah ka duek daengah Pathen taengah ka hing eh.
for I died through law that I may live to God;
20 Khrih neh kai n'tai coeng dae ka hing pueng. Tedae kai voel pawt tih ka khuikah Khrih ni aka hing. Te dongah pumsa kah ka hing he kai ham amah aka voei uh tih kai aka lungnah Pathen Capa kah tangnah rhangnen ni ka hing.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me; and that which I now live in the flesh—I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me;
21 Pathen kah lungvatnah te ka hnawt pawh. Duengnah he olkhueng lamlong koinih Khrih tah a yoeyap la duek coeng.
I do not make the grace of God void, for if righteousness [is] through law—then Christ died in vain.
