< Ŵagalatia 2 >
1 Payamasile yaka likumi ni ncheche, une ni che Banaba twajawile sooni ku Yelusalemu, twalongene ni che Tito.
Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;
2 Najawile kweleko pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵamunukulile kuti nyaule. Patwatemi nkungulu pamo ni achakulu pe, naasalile nkati Ngani Jambone jinalalichile ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Natesile yele kuti masengo gangu ganatesile, ni gangugapanganya sambano, ganaŵe gangalimate.
and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;
3 Nambo, namose ajangu che Tito, jwali Mgiliki, nganakanganichiswa kuumbala,
but not even Titus, who [is] with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised —
4 atamuno kwaliji ni ŵandu ŵaŵalitendaga ŵakukulupilila achinjetu ŵaŵasachile aumbale. Ŵandu ŵaŵalijinjisye kwa chisyepela ni kuuchilichisya kulecheleswa kwetu kutuli nako kwakulumbikana ni Kilisito Che Yesu, kuti atutende achikapolo.
and [that] because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,
5 Nambo nganitusaka kwajitichisya namose kanandi, kuti usyene wa Ngani Jambone usigale ni ŵanyamwe katema kose.
to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.
6 Nambo ŵandu ŵakutinji ali ilongola, iŵaga isyene ŵaliji ilongola pane ngaŵa ilongola, ngaŵa chindu kukwangu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakulamula kwa kulolechesya indu ya paasa, ŵandu wo nganakola indu yasambano yakunyonjechesya une.
And from those who were esteemed to be something — whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me — the face of man God accepteth not, for — to me those esteemed did add nothing,
7 Kwayele, ŵaimanyilile kuti Akunnungu ŵangulupilile kuti nalalichile Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi mpela iŵatite pakwakulupilila che Petulo kwalalichila Ŵayahudi.
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 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵantesile che Petulo kuŵa nduna kwa Ŵayahudi, ni jujojo jwandesile une nombe kuŵa nduna kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,
9 Nipele, che Yakobo, che Petulo ni che Yohana, ŵaŵaliji ilongola achakulu, paŵaimanyilile kuti Akunnungu ŵambele upile wa masengo ga jikajikape ga, ŵatukamwile uwe makono, une ni che Banaba, chiŵe chimanyisyo cha kuti tuli ŵamo. Uwe twajawile kupanganya masengo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ŵanyawo kwa Ŵayahudi.
and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision [may go],
10 Nambo ŵatuŵendile chindu chimo kuti, tukaaliŵalila ŵakulaga ŵaali mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu, chelecho none nachikamulichisye kuchitendekanya.
only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent — this very thing — to do.
11 Nambo che Petulo paŵaiche ku Antiokia naakanile paujo pa ŵandu pakuŵa ŵaliji aleŵile.
And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,
12 Kundanda, akanaiche ŵandu ŵampepe kutyochela ku che Yakobo, che Petulo ŵalyaga pamo ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Nambo paŵaiche pe, ŵalesile kulya ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ni kulisepusya nawo kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa ŵandu ŵaŵakanganichisye ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi aumbale.
for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,
13 Nombe achinjangu Ŵayahudi ŵane ŵaliunjile pamo ni che Petulo kutendekanya ya ulamba, nombe che Banaba ŵajinjilwe ni ulamba wao.
and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.
14 Nipele, panaiweni kuti indu yakupanganya ngaikwilana ni usyene wa Ngani Jambone, nansalile che Petulo paujo pa ŵandu wose kuti, “Namuno mmwe nli Myahudi, nkutama mpela ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ngaŵa mpela Myahudi! Nipele nkukombola chinauli kulinga kwakanganichisya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kutama mpela Ŵayahudi?”
But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?
15 Isyene, uwe tuli Ŵayahudi chipagwile, ni ngaŵa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaali ni sambi!
we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,
16 Isyene tukwimanyilila kuti ngaikukomboleka mundu kutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu, nambo kwa kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Noweji ŵakwe tumasile kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Tutendekwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi chetu kwa Kilisito, ni ngaŵa kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo. Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugakuya Malajisyo.
having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'
17 Sambano, iŵaga tukusosa kutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya kulumbikana ni Kilisito, uweji tukuŵalanjikwa kuti tuli ŵa sambi, uli, achi chitendo chikulosya kuti Kilisito akwatenda ŵandu apanganye sambi? Ngwamba!
And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, [is] then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!
18 Nambo iŵaga ngugumba sooni Malajisyo gunagagumwile, nipele nguti une ndili jwakuleŵa.
for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;
19 Malajisyo gandesile naimanyilile kuti ngusachilwa kuwa. Kwayele nawile kuti ndyoche mu ulamusi wa malajisyo go kuti ndame kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Akunnungu. None ŵambikwe pamo ni Kilisito pansalaba.
for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;
20 Sambano ngaŵa une sooni jungutama, nambo Kilisito ni ŵakutama nkati mwangu. Umi ungwete sambano mu chiilu, ngwete pakuŵa ngunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu, juŵanonyele une mpaka ŵautyosisye umi wao kwa ligongo lyangu.
with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh — in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;
21 Ngangusaka kuukana upile wa Akunnungu. Iŵaga mundu akutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu, nipele, chiwa cha Kilisito changalimate!
I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness [be] through law — then Christ died in vain.
