< Galatians 2 >
1 Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Badala ya miaka kumi na nne nalotili kabhele Yerusalem pamonga ni Barnaba. Kabhele nan'tolili ni Tito pamonga ni nene.
2 And I went up according to revelation; and communicated to them the gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles, but apart to them who seemed to be some thing: lest perhaps I should run, or had run in vain.
Nalotili ndabha ya K'yara ajidhihirishi kwa nene ya kuwa ni paswa kulota. Nabhekili palongolo pa bhene injili yanatangasi kwa bhanu bha mataifa. (Lakini nalongilili kwa kufigha kwa bhabhisemekana fiongozi bhamana). Naketili naa ili kuhakikisya ndabha nakembhelai hee, au nakembili mebhwa.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Gentile, was compelled to be circumcised.
Ni kabhele Tito, yaayele pamonga ni nene, yaayele Myunani, alasimisibhu kutailibhwa.
4 But because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude.
Lijambo ele lahomili kwa ndabha ya bhalongo bhaudesi bhabhahidili kwa siri kupeleleza uhuru wa tuyenabhu kup'etela Kristu Yesu. Bhatamene kutuketa tete tuyelai bhatumwa bha Sheria.
5 To whom we yielded not by subjection, no not for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Tajipisili lepi kubhatii hata kwa lisaa limonga, ya ndabha injili ya ukueli ibakilai bila kubadilisya kwa muenga.
6 But of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time, it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man, ) for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing.
Ila bhala bhabhajobhibhu ya kuwa ndo fiongozi bhachangili lepi kyoa kela kwa nene. Kyoakela kayayele bhakifu ketai kayelepi kya. maana kwa nene. K'yara hakubali upendeleo wa bhanadamu.
7 But contrariwise, when they had seen that to me was committed the gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the circumcision.
Badala yaki, bhabhuene ya kuwa niaminibhu kutangasya injili kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu lepi. Yayele Katya Petro atangasyai injili kwa bhabhatailibhu.
8 (For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought in me also among the Gentiles.)
Kwa ndabha K'yara, yaafwanyili mbhombho mugati mwa Petro kwajia ya utume kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu, kabhele aketili mbhombho mugati mwa nene kwa bhanu bha mataifa.
9 And when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision:
Wati Yakobo, kefa, ni Yohana, ndo bhatambuliki ya kuwa bhajengili likanisa, bhamanyili neema ya napelibhu nene bhatupokili kup'etela ushirika nene ni Baketili naa ili ya ndabha tubhoki kwa bhanu bha mataifa, ni kabhele bha bhwesyai kulota kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu.
10 Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful to do.
Kabhele bhatulondai tete kubhakombhoka masikini. Nene kabhele nayele natamaniayi kuketa lijambo ele.
11 But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
Wakati kefa paahidili Antiokia, na mphengili bhuasi bhuasi yandabha ayele akosili.
12 For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
Kabula ya bhanu kuzaa kuhida kuhomela kwa Yakobo, kefa ayele kulya pamonga ni bhanu bhamataifa. Ila bhanu abha bhabhahidili, alekili ni kubhoka kuhomela kwa bhanu bha mataifa. Ayele atilai bhanu bha bhilonda tohara.
13 And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation.
Vilevile bhayahudi bhamana bhauengene ni unafiki obho pamonga ni kefa. Matokeo ghaki ghayele ni Barnaba atolibhu ni unafiki wa bhene.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Panabhona yakuwa bhayelelepi kufuata injili ya ukueli, namjobhili kefa palongolo pa bhoa, “Katya muenga ndo bhayaudi ila mwiishi ni tabia sa bhanu bha mataifa badala ya tabia sa kiyaudi, kwa ndayakiki mkabhalasimisya bhanu bhamataifa kuishi katya bhayaudi?”
15 We by nature are Jews, and not of the Gentiles sinners.
Tete ambabho ndo bhayaudi bhakuhogoleka na siyo “Bhanu bhamataifa bhenye thambi”
16 But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
Manyai kujo ayelepi yaihesabibhwa haki kwa matendo gha Sheria. Badala yaki, bhihesabhwa haki kwa imani mugati mwa Yesu Kristu. Twahidili kwa imani mugati mwa Kristu Yesu ili yandabha tihesabibwa haki kwa imani mugati mwa Kristu na lepi kwa matendo gha Sheria. Kwa matendo ya sheria uyelepi mbhele waubhwanili kuhesabibhwa katya haki.
17 But if while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners; is Christ then the minister of sin? God forbid.
Katya tukandonda K'yara wa kutuhesabila haki mugati mwa Kristu, tukajikolela tayhoto kabhele ndo bhenye thambi, je Kristu aketibhu n'tumwa wa thambi? Wala naa hee!
18 For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator.
Maana katya ni kajengai tegemeo la nene juu ya kutunza sheria, litegemelo ambalo namalili kulibhosya, nikajilasya nayhoni Kujo mvunja sheria.
19 For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross.
Kup'etela sheria nafuili mu sheria, kwa ele nipaswa kuishi kwajia ya K'yara.
20 And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself for me.
Nisulubibhu pamonga ni Kristu. So nene kabhele yakaniishi, Bali Kristu aaiishi mugati mwa nene. Maisha ghaniishi kup'etela mbhele niishi kwa imani mugati mwa muana wa K'yara yaa niganili ni kujitolela kwajia ya nene.
21 I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
Nikaikana hee neema ya K'yara, maana katya haki yayayele kup'etela sheria, basi Kristu ngaayele afuili mebhwa.
