< Galatians 2 >
1 Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
Payipititi mivinja lilongu na msheshi, ng'enditi kayi Yerusalemu pamuhera na Barinaba na numtoliti Titu.
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.
Ng'enditi aku toziya Mlungu kang'ubutuliriti kuwera ng'endi, nukawagambiri gweka yawu walii yawaweriti walongoziya, ujumbi wa Shisoweru Shiwagira shanushibweriti kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi. Ntenditi hangu su lihengu lyaneni lyantenditi na lilii lyantenda vinu, naliwera lyahera mota.
3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
Kumbiti ata myangu Titu, yomberi kaweriti Mgiriki, kafiritwi ndiri kwingiziwa jandu handa lilangaliru kuwera mweni kapakati pa wantu wa Mlungu,
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.
shitwatira ashi shilawira toziya wantu yawalitenditi gambira walongu yawamjimira Kristu, yawaliyingiziyiti kwa bada pakati pa twenga nolanola ulekeziwu watuwera nawu mukulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu, su wapati kututenda tulikali makaliru ga umanda.
5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
Twenga nakamu tujimilirana ndiri nawomberi, su unakaka wa Shisoweru Shiwagira wendereyi kusigala kwa mwenga.
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.
Wantu walii yawapananitwi ligoya kuwera walongoziya, wanongoleriti ndiri shintu sha syayi muwujumbi waneni. Na payiwera womberi waweriti walongoziya ama ndala, kwaneni shintu ndiri toziya Mlungu kahera upendelewu.
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.
Badala yakuwi, womberi wavimaniti kuwera Mlungu kanagaliriti kushibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi gambira Peteru ntambu yakalagaliritwi kushibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira kwa Wayawudi.
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.
Toziya ulii yakamtenditi Peteru kuwera ntumintumi kwa Wayawudi ndo ulaa yakantenditi neni kuwera ntumintumi kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi.
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.
Su Yakobu na Kefa na Yohani yawawonikaniti kuwera mpanda, wavimaniti kuwera Mlungu kamupananiti manemu aga, su womberi watenditi malinganiru na twenga kwa kutukola mawoku neni pamuhera na Barinaba. Twenga tujimilirana kuwera twakatendi lihengu pakati pa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi na womberi watendi lihengu pakati pa Wayawudi.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
Womberi waturuwiti shintu shimu hera kuwera twendereyi kuwatanga wahushu, shitwatira shilaa shilii moyu gwangu gufira kushitenda.
11 When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.
Kumbiti Kefa pakasokiti Antiokiya, numgambiriti pota kufifa kulongolu kwa wantu toziya yomberi paweru katenditi likosa.
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.
Pamberi pa wantu wamu yawalawiti kwa Yakobu hawenisoki palii, Kefa kaweriti kankuliya pamuhera na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi. Kumbiti pawasokiti wantu walii, Kefa kalekiti nakamu kuliya pamuhera na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi kwa kuwatira wantu walii yawasisitiza kwingiziwa jandu.
13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
Viraa walongu wamonga Wayawudi walikoleriti pamuhera na Kefa kwa ufyangu wakuwi, ata Barinaba kapotuziwitwi muufyangu wawu.
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?”
Neni pamoniti kuwera matendu gawu galinganira ndiri na unakaka wa Shisoweru Shiwagira, numgambiriti Kefa kulongolu kwa wantu woseri, “Tembera gwenga ndo Myawudi, gulikala ndiri gambira Wayawudi kumbiti gulikala gambira wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi! Gwenga guweza hashi kuwatenda wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi wajimiri kulikala gambira Wayawudi?”
15 We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
Twenga twa Wayawudi kwa kwiwuka, twenga twawantu ndiri yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, wantu yawashemwa wawera na vidoda.
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.
Kumbiti tuvimana kuwera muntu hapeni kawalangwi kuwera kahera hatiya kwa kugajimira Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa, kumbiti kwa kumjimira Yesu Kristu hera. Twenga viraa tumjimira Kristu Yesu su tupati kuwalangwa twahera hatiya kupitira njimiru yetu kwa Kristu, toziya ndiri kwa matendu ga Malagaliru aga. Toziya kwahera muntu yoseri yakawalangwa kahera hatiya kwa Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa.
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!
Kumbiti handa twankusakula kuwalangwa tumfiriziyi Mlungu kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu na twenga tuwoneka twankali twana vidoda, hashi, shitwatira ashi shiwera na mana kuwera Kristu kawera ntumintumi gwa vidoda? Ndala nakamu!
18 If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
Payiwera neni nankunyawa kayi shilaa shilii shambomuliti, su nulilanguziya kuwera neni ndo yankosa.
19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
Kuusu Lilagaliru Mlungu lyakamupananiti Musa, neni howiti, Lilagaliru lyeni linagiti, su nulikali toziya ya Mlungu. Neni wera handa mpingikitwi pamuhera na Kristu.
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.
Vinu nankulikala, kumbiti neni ndiri kayi yanulikala, Kristu kalikala mngati mwa neni. Makaliru aga ganulikala vinu munshimba, nulikala kwa njimiru, njimiru mu Mwana gwa Mlungu yakanfiriti na kawulaviyiti ukomu wakuwi toziya ya neni.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
Nfira ndiri kugalema manemu ga Mlungu. Kumbiti handa muntu kawalangwa kawera muheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu kwa njira ya Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa, su kuhowa kwa Kristu kwahera shintu.
