< Galatians 2 >

1 Fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, taking Titus along as well.
anantaraṁ caturdaśasu vatsareṣu gateṣvahaṁ barṇabbā saha yirūśālamanagaraṁ punaragacchaṁ, tadānoṁ tītamapi svasaṅginam akaravaṁ|
2 I went on the basis of a revelation and set before them [the main apostles] the Gospel that I proclaim among the nations/Gentiles.—Now I did this privately to those with influence, lest somehow I might run, or had run, in vain.
tatkāle'ham īśvaradarśanād yātrām akaravaṁ mayā yaḥ pariśramo'kāri kāriṣyate vā sa yanniṣphalo na bhavet tadarthaṁ bhinnajātīyānāṁ madhye mayā ghoṣyamāṇaḥ susaṁvādastatratyebhyo lokebhyo viśeṣato mānyebhyo narebhyo mayā nyavedyata|
3 However, not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, for being a Greek.
tato mama sahacarastīto yadyapi yūnānīya āsīt tathāpi tasya tvakchedo'pyāvaśyako na babhūva|
4 This came up because of the false brothers who were smuggled in (who stole in to spy out our freedom, that we have in Christ Jesus, so as to reduce us to slavery),
yataśchalenāgatā asmān dāsān karttum icchavaḥ katipayā bhāktabhrātaraḥ khrīṣṭena yīśunāsmabhyaṁ dattaṁ svātantryam anusandhātuṁ cārā iva samājaṁ prāviśan|
5 to whom we did not yield, even for a moment, so that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you.—
ataḥ prakṛte susaṁvāde yuṣmākam adhikāro yat tiṣṭhet tadarthaṁ vayaṁ daṇḍaikamapi yāvad ājñāgrahaṇena teṣāṁ vaśyā nābhavāma|
6 Now from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows favoritism to no man)—those with influence contributed nothing to me,
parantu ye lokā mānyāste ye kecid bhaveyustānahaṁ na gaṇayāmi yata īśvaraḥ kasyāpi mānavasya pakṣapātaṁ na karoti, ye ca mānyāste māṁ kimapi navīnaṁ nājñāpayan|
7 but on the contrary, upon seeing that I had been entrusted with the Gospel for the uncircumcised, just as was Peter for the circumcised
kintu chinnatvacāṁ madhye susaṁvādapracāraṇasya bhāraḥ pitari yathā samarpitastathaivācchinnatvacāṁ madhye susaṁvādapracāraṇasya bhāro mayi samarpita iti tai rbubudhe|
8 (for He who was at work with Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised was also at work with me for that to the uncircumcised),
yataśchinnatvacāṁ madhye preritatvakarmmaṇe yasya yā śaktiḥ pitaramāśritavatī tasyaiva sā śakti rbhinnajātīyānāṁ madhye tasmai karmmaṇe māmapyāśritavatī|
9 and upon perceiving the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, while they to the Jews.
ato mahyaṁ dattam anugrahaṁ pratijñāya stambhā iva gaṇitā ye yākūb kaiphā yohan caite sahāyatāsūcakaṁ dakṣiṇahastagrahaṁṇa vidhāya māṁ barṇabbāñca jagaduḥ, yuvāṁ bhinnajātīyānāṁ sannidhiṁ gacchataṁ vayaṁ chinnatvacā sannidhiṁ gacchāmaḥ,
10 They did ask us to keep remembering the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.
kevalaṁ daridrā yuvābhyāṁ smaraṇīyā iti| atastadeva karttum ahaṁ yate sma|
11 But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
aparam āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ pitara āgate'haṁ tasya doṣitvāt samakṣaṁ tam abhartsayaṁ|
12 Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing those of the circumcision party.
yataḥ sa pūrvvam anyajātīyaiḥ sārddham āhāramakarot tataḥ paraṁ yākūbaḥ samīpāt katipayajaneṣvāgateṣu sa chinnatvaṅmanuṣyebhyo bhayena nivṛtya pṛthag abhavat|
13 And the rest of the Jews played the hypocrite with him as well, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
tato'pare sarvve yihūdino'pi tena sārddhaṁ kapaṭācāram akurvvan barṇabbā api teṣāṁ kāpaṭyena vipathagāmyabhavat|
14 So when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all: “If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?
tataste prakṛtasusaṁvādarūpe saralapathe na carantīti dṛṣṭvāhaṁ sarvveṣāṁ sākṣāt pitaram uktavān tvaṁ yihūdī san yadi yihūdimataṁ vihāya bhinnajātīya ivācarasi tarhi yihūdimatācaraṇāya bhinnajātīyān kutaḥ pravarttayasi?
15 We natural Jews (and not ‘Gentile sinners’),
āvāṁ janmanā yihūdinau bhavāvo bhinnajātīyau pāpinau na bhavāvaḥ
16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, we ourselves have believed into Christ Jesus, so as to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law; because no one will be justified by works of law.
kintu vyavasthāpālanena manuṣyaḥ sapuṇyo na bhavati kevalaṁ yīśau khrīṣṭe yo viśvāsastenaiva sapuṇyo bhavatīti buddhvāvāmapi vyavasthāpālanaṁ vinā kevalaṁ khrīṣṭe viśvāsena puṇyaprāptaye khrīṣṭe yīśau vyaśvasiva yato vyavasthāpālanena ko'pi mānavaḥ puṇyaṁ prāptuṁ na śaknoti|
17 But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves were discovered to be sinners, then is Christ a minister of sin? Of course not!
parantu yīśunā puṇyaprāptaye yatamānāvapyāvāṁ yadi pāpinau bhavāvastarhi kiṁ vaktavyaṁ? khrīṣṭaḥ pāpasya paricāraka iti? tanna bhavatu|
18 “Now if I rebuild the things that I destroyed, I acknowledge that I am a transgressor.
mayā yad bhagnaṁ tad yadi mayā punarnirmmīyate tarhi mayaivātmadoṣaḥ prakāśyate|
19 For through the law I died to the law in order to live to God.
ahaṁ yad īśvarāya jīvāmi tadarthaṁ vyavasthayā vyavasthāyai amriye|
20 I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; what I now live in this body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself in my place.
khrīṣṭena sārddhaṁ kruśe hato'smi tathāpi jīvāmi kintvahaṁ jīvāmīti nahi khrīṣṭa eva madanta rjīvati| sāmprataṁ saśarīreṇa mayā yajjīvitaṁ dhāryyate tat mama dayākāriṇi madarthaṁ svīyaprāṇatyāgini ceśvaraputre viśvasatā mayā dhāryyate|
21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
ahamīśvarasyānugrahaṁ nāvajānāmi yasmād vyavasthayā yadi puṇyaṁ bhavati tarhi khrīṣṭo nirarthakamamriyata|
