< Galatians 2 >
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Imiakha kumi na nne nalutile khavili khu Yelusalemu paninie nu Barnaba. Nitolile uTito paninye nune.
2 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.
Nikhalutile pakhuva uNguluve aevonisie khuliune ukhuta ni khanogiwa ukhuluta. Navikhile khuvulongolo ilimenyu avapanji nachoviwaga avalongochi navombile ewo ukhuhakekesia ukhuta saninyila au nikhanyilile vuvule.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Vope u Tito, uviakhale paninie nune, uviakhale Myunani, andasimiswa ukhutahiliwa.
4 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,
Ilijambo ili ukhahumile mkhekolo ikia vudesi vainchile khusile khupelelesia uvu huru uvutwale nao mgati mwa Yesu Klisite. Vanogilwe ukhutuveka pasi pa ndagelo.
5 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.
Satukhihumia ukhuva pulikha khusekhi gumo ukhuta ilimenyu lya lueli lisigale lijige vulevule lisite ukhubadelekha khuliumwe.
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God does not show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
Vala ava choviwe ukhuta vakhale valongonchi savanchagele khikhioni khuliune. Nkhinkhoni ekheva likhuvomba sakhi khale ne mana khuliane. UNguluve sinkhuikha uvupelelo wa vanu.
7 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—
Vakha mbona ukhuta niaminiwe ukhulumbelela ilimenyu khuvala awa savalanchiwe. Ekhava ndu uPetro alumbilile ilimenyu khuvala avavalanchiwe.
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
Ulwakhuva uNguluve, avombile embombo mgati mwa Petro savuli ya vuvanda nkhuvala avavalanche, nkhange avombile imbombo mugati mundiune khuvanu avapanchi.
9 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.
Usinkhi uYakobo, u Kefa, nu Yohana, vamanyikhikhi ukhuta vancheengile itembile, valumanyile ulukhungu une, vatupokhile mugati mululundamano une nu Barnaba. Vagakhile ewo ukhuta putulutage khuvanu avapanchi avava chiwe.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Vatunogilwe ufue ukhuvakumbukha avatolwe. Une na yune nilikhunogwa ukhuvomba embombo iye.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Usikhi Kefa avilenchile Antiokia, nakiline inave pavuvalafu ulwakhuva ale intula nongwa.
12 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.
Badala ya vanu avadebe ukhuitsa ukhuhuma kua Yakobo, Kefa alikuva ilya paninie na vapanchi. Ingave avanu avavile vinchile alekhine ukhukhega ukhuma khu vanu avapanji. Akhava idwada avanu avano guaga indagelo.
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Vulevule Avayuta avange valungine nuvusongerenie uvu paninie nu Kefa. Pulikha humela leno Barnaba atoliwe nuvusongerehani wa vene.
14 But when I saw that they did not 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?
Uluava nelolile ukhuta valekhuva savikonga elivangeliilwa lweli, niambulile uKefa pamiho ga vene voni, “Ingave umwe mule Vayahudi mbona imitamilo gevile gya lugevaanu avapanchi ukutama nda vanu avayuta?”
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
Ufwe yufwe tuli Vayahudi tuhaliwe satuli “Vanu va panzi avale mbivi”
16 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.
ulumanye ukhuta asikhuli uviivalilwa ale pavuye lweli pa mbombo ncha ndagelo. Pulino vivaliwa uwayelweli mulwidekho igati mwa Yesu Klisite. Tukhinchile khu luedekho mgati mwa Klisite Yesu ukhuta tuvaleliwa uvuyelweli mugati mwa Klisite pasita khuvaliwa ni mbombo khu mivombelo gusikhuli umbili, ugukhi guvaliwa uwa yelweli.
17 But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
Pulino tungave tukhundanda uNguluve khwa khutu valela inonu mugati mwa Klisite, tukhevona yufwe ukhuta tulini mbivi Klisite awekhiwe isuhiwa wa mbivi? Ate!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Ningave nivikha uluhuvelo luango ukhutuncha indagelo, ikhinu ikhi namalile ukhukhencha, nikhivonesya yune ukhuta nivomba imbivi.
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
Ukhukhuma khululagelo nikhafua khululagelo, lino ninogiwa ukhutama nu Nguluve.
20 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.
Nitasiwa paninye nu Yesu sio une leno, yune nitama uKlisite. Viitama mnumbula yango. Amaisha ugunitama mu mbili nitama nulwidikho munumbula ya umwana va uNguluve, uvanganile akhihumia khu njela yango une.
21 I do not reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
Sanibela ulukhungu lwa uNguluve, ulugano lwa lenkho, ukhuhumila ingave ilweli yekhale puile ukhumila Klisite vuapule.
