Galati 2

1 Te phoeikah kum hlaili ah Jerusalem la Barnabas neh koep ka cet rhoi tih Titu khaw ka khuen rhoi.

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

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

3 Tedae kai taengkah Greek hoel la aka om Titu pataeng te yahvinrhet ham tanolh pawh.

But not even Titus, who was 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 Tedae kuplat la aka hmu loh yahvinrhetnah dongah pumdul kah olthangthen te Peter bangla ka tangnah.

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 Peter loh yahvinrhetnah kah caeltueih te a tueng sak tih kai khaw namtom rhoek ham ka tueng sak.

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

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 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 khodaeng bueng he poek ham om mai. Te te saii ham te khaw bahoeng ka haam.

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

11 Tedae Kephas he Antiok la ha pawk vaengah, coel hamla a om dongah a hmai ah ka mah.

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

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 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 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 rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with 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 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 Mamih kah coengnah he Judah tih hlangtholh tah namtom kah tloe moenih.

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

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.

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 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.

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 phae tangtae rhoek te koep ka sak atah kamah he boekoekkung la ka tueng coeng.

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

19 Kai tah olkhueng lamloh olkhueng taengah ka duek daengah Pathen taengah ka hing eh.

For I through the law died to the law, that I might 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 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 Pathen kah lungvatnah te ka hnawt pawh. Duengnah he olkhueng lamlong koinih Khrih tah a yoeyap la duek coeng.

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