< Galatians 2 >

1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken along Titus also.
Are xikꞌow kajlajuj junabꞌ, xinpaqiꞌ chik junmul pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, wachiꞌl ri Bernabé, xuqujeꞌ ri Tito.
2 And I went up according to revelation, and I declared to them the good news that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of repute, lest somehow I might be running or ran in vain.
Xineꞌ pa Jerusalén rumal ri xinnimaj ri jun qꞌalajisanik ri xkꞌut chinuwach. Xqamulij kꞌu qibꞌ kukꞌ ri qas e kꞌamal taq bꞌe, xintzijoj kꞌut chike ri utz laj tzij ri tajin kintzijoj chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rech kinto jas kakibꞌij, rech jeriꞌ man xaq ta tzaqel ri nubꞌanom.
3 But not even Titus with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kꞌut, man xkitaqchiꞌj ta ne ri Tito ri bꞌenaq wukꞌ, chukojik ri retal ri chꞌekom tzij pa ri utyoꞌjal, pune ketaꞌm chi man aj Israel taj.
4 But that issue was because of those false brothers smuggled in, who sneaked in to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us,
Pune e kꞌo jujun chilaꞌ ri xaq esal taq kiwach alaxik, xaq xwi keꞌkilaꞌ jas ri kujkwinik kaqabꞌano pa Cristo, rech jeriꞌ kujkitaqchiꞌj chubꞌanik ri kubꞌij ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, so that the truth of the good news might continue with you.
Xa ta kꞌu ne jubꞌiqꞌ xeꞌqanimaj, rech jeriꞌ ri qas tzij rech ri utz laj tzij kajeqiꞌk piꞌwanimaꞌ.
6 But from those who were reputed to be something (what kind they were formerly, it makes no difference to me, God does not accept a personage of man), for those who were of repute added nothing to me,
Are kꞌu ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe, pune man kꞌo ta kutayij chwe ri kuꞌxik, jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Dios man kuqꞌat ta tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rumal ri kebꞌantajik, man kꞌo ta chi jun kꞌakꞌ jastaq ri xkibꞌij loq chwe.
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the good news for men of uncircumcision, as Peter for men of circumcision
Xane qas xkilo chi qas xchilibꞌex wi chwe utzijoxik ri utz laj tzij chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj jetaq ri xbꞌan che ri Pedro xchilibꞌex che kutzijoj ri utz laj tzij chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
8 (for he who was working in Peter for the apostleship for men of circumcision was also working in me for the Gentiles),
Ri Dios ri xuya bꞌe che ri Pedro rech xux taqoꞌn kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel, xuya xuqujeꞌ bꞌe chwe xinux taqoꞌn kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
9 and James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, when they understood the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship. So that we were for the Gentiles, and they for men of circumcision,
Qas tzij ri Jacobo, ri Pedro xuqujeꞌ ri Juan, ri qas kabꞌan ke, xkilo chi qas xinkꞌamawaꞌj wi ri toqꞌobꞌ, xkichap ri qaqꞌabꞌ ri in xuqujeꞌ ri Bernabé chukꞌutik chi uj kachiꞌl chik, rech jeriꞌ kujeꞌ uj kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are kꞌu ri areꞌ kebꞌe kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
10 only that we should remember the poor, which this same thing I also was eager to do.
Xwi xkichilibꞌej ubꞌixik chaqe chi kel qakꞌuꞌx chike ri e mebꞌaibꞌ, are kꞌut wa qilim loq ubꞌanik.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch I opposed him to the face, because he was blameworthy.
Are xulik ri Pedro pa ri tinimit Antioquía, xinbꞌij chupalaj ri kanoꞌjinik, jeriꞌ rumal cher man utz ta ri tajin kubꞌano.
12 For before certain men came from James he ate together with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing men of circumcision.
Jeriꞌ rumal are majaꞌ kuꞌlik ri uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Jacobo, ri Pedro kawaꞌ kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj; are xuꞌlik we winaq riꞌ, xuchapleꞌj uqꞌatik ribꞌ chike ri e winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj jeriꞌ rumal xuxiꞌj ribꞌ chike ri winaq ri e kojtal ketal.
13 And the other Jews also joined in hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas went along with their hypocrisy.
Are xkil ri nikꞌaj winaq aꞌj Israel ri xubꞌan ri Pedro, xkikoj kibꞌ rukꞌ pa ri ukawachil, ri Bernabé xuqujeꞌ xutereneꞌj ri kawach laj noꞌjibꞌal riꞌ.
14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly toward the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, If thou being a Jew, live as a Gentile and not as a Jew, why do thou compel the Gentiles to live as Jews?
Are xinwilo chi man sukꞌ ta ri tajin kenoꞌjinik jetaq ri kubꞌij ri usukꞌal ri utz laj tzij, xinbꞌij che ri Pedro chikiwach konojel: We at at aj Israel, man je ta katnoꞌjinik jetaq jun aj Israel, ¿jas kꞌu che kaꞌtaqchiꞌj ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech kakibꞌan ri kakibꞌij ri winaq aꞌj Israel?
15 We are Jews by nature and not sinful men of the Gentiles,
Ri uj uj aꞌj Israel wi pa qakꞌojiꞌkal, man uj aꞌjmakibꞌ taj jetaq ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
16 knowing that a man is not made righteous from works of law, instead through faith of Jesus Christ. And we believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made righteous from faith of Christ, and not from works of law, because no flesh will be made righteous from works of law.
Qetaꞌm kꞌut chi man kꞌo ta jun kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che rumal ri chak ri kuta ri taqanik xane xaq xwi kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che jun rumal ri kojobꞌal pa Jesucristo, jeriꞌ rumal man kꞌo ta jun kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che rumal ri taqanik.
17 But if, while seeking to be made righteous in Christ, we ourselves were also found sinful, then is Christ an aide of sin? May it not happen!
We kꞌu kaqaj kabꞌantaj sukꞌ chaqe rumal ri Cristo, riꞌ kel kubꞌij chi qas uj aꞌjmakibꞌ wi. ¿La kel kꞌu kubꞌij wa chi ri Cristo patanil rech ri makaj? Man je ta riꞌ.
18 For if I build again these things that I tore down, I demonstrate myself a transgressor.
We kꞌo jun kuwok chi jun jastaq ri xtukitajik, riꞌ kux chi ajmak junmul.
19 For I, through law, died to law, so that I might live to God.
Ri in kꞌut in kaminaq chik pa ri taqanik rech ri Moisés, rech jeriꞌ in kꞌaslik chuyaꞌik uqꞌij ri Dios.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And what I now live in flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.
Xinriptaj rukꞌ ri Cristo, rumal riꞌ man in kꞌas ta chik xaq pa we wi, are ri Cristo kꞌas chwe. Ri tajin kinriq chanim pa ri nutyoꞌjal, kiriqo pa ri nukojobꞌal che ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios, Areꞌ xinloqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ xujach ribꞌ rumal we.
21 I do not disregard the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died in vain.
Man kinwetzelaj ta ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios. Jeriꞌ rumal we ta rumal ri taqanik xpe ri sukꞌal, man kꞌo ta bꞌa kutayij riꞌ ri ukamikal ri Cristo.
