Galatians 2
1 Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
Mĩaka ikũmi na ĩna yathira nĩndambatire rĩngĩ Jerusalemu, na ihinda rĩĩrĩ tũgĩthiĩ hamwe na Baranaba o na tũgĩthiĩ na Tito.
2 I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.
Ndathiire tondũ Ngai nĩanguũrĩirie thiĩ kuo, na nĩguo ngataarĩrie atũmwo Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũrĩa hunjagĩria andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ. No ndataarĩirie o arĩa monekaga marĩ atongoria hatarĩ andũ angĩ, nĩgeetha gũtigatuĩke atĩ ihenya rĩrĩa ndatengʼeraga, o na kana rĩrĩa ndatengʼerete, rĩarĩ rĩa tũhũ.
3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
No o na Tito, ũrĩa warĩ hamwe na niĩ, ndaringĩrĩirio kũrua, o na gũtuĩka aarĩ Mũyunani.
4 This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.
Ũhoro ũyũ wa kũrua wagĩire ho tondũ nĩ kwarĩ na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ a maheeni arĩa maatoonyete gatagatĩ gaitũ na hitho marĩ athigaani nĩguo matuĩrie ũhoro wa wĩyathi ũrĩa tũkoragwo naguo tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, makĩenda gũtũtua ngombo.
5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
Tũtietĩkĩrire ũhoro wao o na hanini, nĩgeetha ma ya Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ĩtũũre na inyuĩ.
6 But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism —those leaders added nothing to me.
Nao andũ arĩa moonekaga taarĩ o anene-rĩ, (harĩ niĩ hatiarĩ na ũtiganu o ũrĩa mangĩakorirwo marĩ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai ndaroraga mũndũ ũrĩa ahaana) andũ acio gũtirĩ ũndũ moongereire harĩ ndũmĩrĩri yakwa.
7 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
O na rĩrĩ, o nĩmoonire atĩ niĩ nĩndehokeirwo wĩra wa kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa Petero eehokeirwo wĩra wa kũhunjĩria Ayahudi.
8 For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ũrĩa warutaga wĩra thĩinĩ wa ũtungata wa Petero arĩ mũtũmwo kũrĩ Ayahudi, nowe warutaga wĩra ũtungata-inĩ wakwa ndĩ mũtũmwo kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.
9 And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
Ningĩ Jakubu, na Petero, na Johana, arĩa moonagwo marĩ itugĩ cia gũtiira kanitha-rĩ, nĩmatwamũkĩrire tũrĩ hamwe na Baranaba na guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa ngwatanĩro, rĩrĩa maamenyire wega wa Ngai ũrĩa ndaaheetwo. Nĩmetĩkĩrire atĩ ithuĩ tũthiĩ tũkahunjĩrie andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, nao mathiĩ kũrĩ Ayahudi.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
Ũndũ ũrĩa maatwĩrire twĩkage nĩ atĩ tũririkanage athĩĩni na noguo ũndũ ũrĩa niĩ mwene ndaarĩ na kĩyo gĩa gwĩka.
11 When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Petero ookire Antiokia, nĩndamũkararirie mbere ya andũ tondũ nĩahĩtĩtie mũno.
12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.
Andũ amwe moimĩte kũrĩ Jakubu matanakinya-rĩ, Petero nĩarĩĩanagĩra na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, no rĩrĩa maakinyire, akĩmeherera, na akĩĩamũrania na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ tondũ nĩetigagĩra andũ arĩa maarĩ a gĩkundi kĩa andũ arĩa maruaga.
13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
O na Ayahudi arĩa angĩ makĩnyiitanĩra na Petero ũhinga-inĩ wake, o nginya o na Baranaba akĩhĩtithio nĩ ũhinga ũcio wao.
14 When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Rĩrĩa ndonire atĩ matiekaga kũringana na ma ya Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, ngĩĩra Petero atĩrĩ, andũ othe makĩiguaga, “Angĩkorwo wee ũrĩ Mũyahudi, ũtũũraga na mĩtugo ya andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ na ti ta Mũyahudi-rĩ, ũngĩkĩhota atĩa kũhatĩrĩria andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ atĩ nĩguo marũmĩrĩre mĩtugo ya Ayahudi?
15 We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
“Ithuĩ arĩa tũciarĩtwo tũrĩ Ayahudi na tũtarĩ ehia ta andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ,
16 know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ ndatuĩkaga mũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho, no atuĩkaga mũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Jesũ Kristũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na ithuĩ twĩtĩkĩtie Kristũ Jesũ nĩguo tũtuuo athingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Kristũ, no ti ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho, tondũ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatuuo mũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!
“Angĩgĩkorwo rĩrĩa tũgũcaria gũtuuo athingu nĩ Kristũ kuonanagia atĩ ithuĩ ene tũrĩ ehia-rĩ, ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩ Kristũ atungatagĩra mehia? Hĩ! Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!
18 If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
Angĩkorwo nĩ ngwaka rĩngĩ kĩrĩa ndaanangire-rĩ, nĩkuonania atĩ niĩ nĩnyunĩte watho.
19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
Nĩgũkorwo na ũndũ wa watho nĩndakuĩrĩire watho ũcio nĩguo ndũũre muoyo ndĩ wa Ngai.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Niĩ nĩndĩkĩtie kwambanĩrio hamwe na Kristũ, na rĩu ti niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, no Kristũ nĩwe ũtũũraga muoyo thĩinĩ wakwa. Muoyo ũrĩa ndũũraga mwĩrĩ-inĩ ũyũ ndũũraga na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Mũrũ wa Ngai, ũrĩa wanyendire na akĩĩruta nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
Ndingĩĩtĩkĩra gũtua wega wa Ngai kĩndũ gĩa tũhũ, tondũ kũngĩtuĩka atĩ ũthingu wonekaga nĩ ũndũ wa watho-rĩ, Kristũ aakuire tũhũ!”
