Galatians 2
1 Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
Mgbe afọ iri na anọ gasịrị, ejeghachiri m Jerusalem ọzọ. Mụ na Banabas laghachiri Jerusalem, akpọkwara m Taịtọs jee.
2 and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;
Agara m nʼihi mkpughe m nwere. Na nzukọ nzuzo nke m na ndị ndu nwere, akọwaara m ha ihe banyere oziọma nke m na-ekwusa nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ. Nʼihi na-achọghị m ka ọrụ niile m rụrụ nʼoge gara aga, na ọrụ m na-arụ ugbu a, bụrụ ihe efu.
3 (but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised; )
Ọ bụladị Taịtọs onye mụ na ya so, o nweghị onye manyere ya ka e bie ya ugwu nʼagbanyeghị na ọ bụ onye Griik.
4 and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
Ndị ahụ na-abụghị ndị kwere ekwe nʼezie e zobatara na nzukọ inyochapụta otu anyị si nwere onwe anyị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, ka ha nwee ike mee anyị ndị ohu.
5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
Ma o nweghị oge anyị ji gee ntị nʼihe ha kwuru, nʼihi na anyị chọrọ ichedo eziokwu ahụ dị nʼoziọma ka a ghara ịgwa ya ihe ọbụla nʼetiti unu.
6 But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat — whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;
Banyere ndị a na-ewe ka ndị dị ndu dị mkpa, ihe ọbụla ọnọdụ ha bụ ewetaghị mgbanwe ọbụla nʼebe m nọ, nʼihi na Chineke adịghị ele mmadụ anya nʼihu. Ndị ahụ atụkwasịghị ihe ọbụla nʼoziọma m na-ezisa.
7 but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,
Ma nʼaka nke ọzọ, mgbe ha hụrụ na e nyere m ọrụ izisa oziọma nʼetiti ndị e bighị ugwu, dịka e nyere Pita izisa oziọma nʼetiti ndị e biri ugwu.
8 (for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles, )
Nʼihi na Chineke onye si nʼaka Pita na-arụ ọrụ onyeozi oziọma nʼetiti ndị e biri ugwu, sikwa nʼime m na-arụ ọrụ onyeozi izisara ndị mba ọzọ oziọma.
9 and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that we [should go] to the nations, and they to the circumcision;
Mgbe Jemis, Sefas na Jọn ndị a maara dị ka ide ji ụlọ nʼetiti ndị ndu ahụ niile nara m na Banabas aka nnwekọ, nabatakwa amara e nyere m. Ha gbara anyị ume, sị anyị gaa nʼihu nʼọrụ anyị, ikwusa oziọma nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ, ka ha onwe ha kwa gaa nʼihu ịrụ ọrụ nke ha nʼetiti ndị e biri ugwu.
10 only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.
Ọ bụ naanị otu ihe ka ha rịọrọ anyị, nke bụ ka anyị cheta ndị ogbenye. Nke a bụkwa ihe m na-achọsi ike ime.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:
Ma mgbe Sefas bịaruru Antiọk, eguzogidere m ya nʼihu ya, nʼihi na ihe o mere mara ya ikpe.
12 for before that certain came from James, he ate with [those of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;
Tupu ndị Jemis zitere abịaruo ebe ahụ, ya na ndị mba ọzọ na-erikọ nri, ma mgbe ha rutere, ọ wepụrụ aka na nri laghachi azụ nʼihi na egwu ndị e biri ugwu na-atụ ya.
13 and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.
Ndị Juu ụfọdụ sonyekwara ya inwe ihu abụọ a, nke mere na e si otu a duhiekwa Banabas nʼonwe ya.
14 But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
Ma mgbe m hụrụ na ha adịghị eme ihe dị ka eziokwu nke oziọma ahụ si dị, agwara m Sefas okwu nʼihu ha niile, sị, “Ọ bụrụ na gị nwa onye Juu na-ebi ndụ dịka onye mba ọzọ, na-abụghị dịka onye Juu, olee otu ị ga-esi manye ndị mba ọzọ ka ha na-ebi ndụ dịka ndị Juu?”
15 We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
Anyị onwe anyị bụ ndị Juu site nʼọmụmụ a mụrụ anyị, anyị abụkwaghị ndị mba ọzọ ndị mmehie,
16 but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.
ma anyị maara na a dịghị agụ mmadụ ọbụla dị ka onye ezi omume site nʼọrụ nke iwu kama ọ bụ naanị site nʼokwukwe na Jisọs Kraịst. Ọ bụ nke a mere anyị ji kwere na Jisọs Kraịst ka a gụọ anyị na ndị ezi omume, site nʼokwukwe anyị kwere na Kraịst, ọ bụghị nʼihi na anyị rụrụ ọrụ nke iwu. Nʼihi na o nweghị onye ọbụla a ga-agụnye ka onye ezi omume nʼihi na ọ rụrụ ọrụ nke iwu.
17 Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.
Ma ọ bụrụ, na mgbe anyị na-achọ ka a gụọ anyị dị ka ndị ezi omume nʼime Kraịst, anyị onwe anyị a bụrụ ndị achọpụtara dịka ndị mmehie. Nke a, ọ pụtara na Kraịst na-akwado mmehie? Mba!
18 For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.
Kama, ọ bụrụ na m ewugharịa ihe ndị ahụ m buru ụzọ mebie, ana m egosi na m bụ onye na-emebi iwu.
19 For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
Nʼihi na-esitere m nʼaka iwu nwụọ nʼebe iwu dị, ka m nwee ike dị ndụ nʼebe Chineke nọ. Akpọgidela mụ na Kraịst nʼobe.
20 I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.
Ọ bụkwaghị mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ ugbu a, kama ọ bụ Kraịst na-adị ndụ ya nʼime m. Ndụ ahụ nke m na-adị ugbu a nʼanụ ahụ m bụ nke m na-adị nʼihi okwukwe m nwere nʼime Ọkpara Chineke, onye hụrụ m nʼanya, ma werekwa onwe ya nye nʼihi m.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
Anaghị m akpọ amara Chineke ihe na-enweghị isi. Nʼihi na a sị na a pụrụ ịgụ mmadụ dị ka onye ezi omume site nʼidebe iwu, mgbe ahụ ọnwụ Kraịst nwụrụ abaghị uru.
