Galatians 2
1 Fourteen years later I returned to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus along with me.
Jejile jawa myaka ekumi ne na ningenda lindi Yerusalemu amwi na Barnaba. Nimugega Tito amwi nanye.
2 I went because of what God had shown me. I met with the recognized church leaders there in private and explained to them the good news I was sharing with the foreigners. I didn't want the course I had followed, and what I was working so hard for, to come to nothing.
Nagendele okubha Nyamuanga ambonekee anye ati jinyiile okugenda. Natulile imbele yebhwe Iinjili inu nalasishe ku bhanu bha maanga. (Mbe nawe nalomele mu mbisike ku bhatangasha bha bhusi bhusi). Nakolele kutyo koleleki nimenyeshe ati naliga ntakubhilima, amwi nabhilimile kutyo ela.
3 But as it turned out, nobody even insisted that Titus who was with me should be circumcised, though he was Greek.
Mbe nawe nolwo Tito, unu aliga ali amwi nanye, unu aliga ali Muyunani, asinyilisibhwe okutendwa.
4 (That issue only arose because some false Christians slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, trying to make us slaves.
Omusango gunu gwabhonekele kulwa bhaili bho lulimi bhanu bhejile mu mbisike okutatilisha elikilisha linu chaliga chili nalyo mu Kristo Yesu. Bhaliga bhana inamba yo kuchikola eswe kubha bhagaya bhe bhilagilo.
5 We never gave into them, not even for a moment. We wanted to make sure to keep the truth of the good news unchanged for you.)
Chitesosishe okubhongwa nolwo esaa limwi, koleleki iinjili ye chimali isige okuinduka kwemwe.
6 But those considered to be important didn't add anything to what I said. (It doesn't concern me what kind of leaders they were, because God doesn't judge people the way we do.)
Mbe nawe bhanu bhaikilwe ati bhaliga bhatangasha bhatakolele gwona gwona kwanye. Jone jinu bhakolaga jaliga jitana mulimu kwanye. Nyamuanga atakwikilisha obhwaulani bhwa bhanu.
7 On the contrary, once they realized that I'd been given responsibility to share the good news with the foreigners just as Peter had been given the responsibility to share the good news with the Jews,
Kwambila ao, nibhandola ati niikanyibhwe okulasha iinjili ku bhanu bhatatendelwe. Koleleki Petro alashe iinjili ku bhanu bhatendelwe.
8 (for the same God who worked through Peter as apostle to the Jews also worked through me as apostle to the foreigners),
Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga, unu akolele emilimu ku Petro kwo kutumwa ku bhanu bhatendelwe, ona akolele emilimu kwanye ku bhanu bha maanga.
9 and once they recognized the grace that had been given to me, then James, Peter, and John, who bore the responsibility of church leadership, shook Barnabas and me by the hand as their fellow-workers.
Mukatungu Yakobo, Kefa, na Yohana, bhanu bhamenyekene ati bhombakile ikanisa, bhamenyele echigongo chinu nayanilwe anye, bhachilamiye mu bhumwi anye na Barnaba. Bhakolele kutyo koleleki chigende ku bhanu bha maanga, abhene bhagende ku bhanu bhatendelwe.
10 We were to work for the foreigners, while they would work for the Jews. Their only instruction was to remember to look after the poor, something I was already very committed to.
Ona bhachibhwiliye eswe chibhejuke abhataka. Anye one naliga nili na jing'umbu okukola omusango gunu.
11 However, when Peter came to Antioch I did have to confront him directly, because he was clearly wrong in what he did.
Akatungu kanu Kefa ejile Antiokia, namuganyishe abhwelu bhwelu kwo kubha aliga ayabhile.
12 Before some of James' friends arrived, Peter used to eat with the foreigners. But when these people came he stopped doing this and stayed away from the foreigners. He was afraid of being criticized by those who insisted that men had to be circumcised.
Anu abhanu bhalebhe bhaliga bhachali okuja okusoka ku Yakobo, Kefa aliga nalya na bhanu bha maanga. Mbe nawe abhanu bhanu bhejile bhaja, nasiga nasokao ku bhanu bha maanga. Aliga nobhaya abhanu bhanu abhenda okutendwa.
13 As well as Peter, other Jewish Christians became hypocritical too, to the extent that even Barnabas was persuaded to follow their hypocrisy.
Kutyo kutyo na Bhayaudi abhandi bhagwatene no bhwitemya bhwebhwe amwi na Kefa. Kubhutelo nolwo Barnaba agegelwe no kwitemyako kwebhwe.
14 When I realized that they weren't taking a firm stand for the truth of the good news, I said to Peter in front of everyone, “If you're a Jew yet live like the foreigners and not like Jews, why are you forcing the foreigners to live like Jews?
Nejile nalola ati bhatakulubha iinjili ye chimali, nimubhwila Kefa imbele ya bhone, “Lwa kutyo emwe muli Bhayaudi nawe omulibhatila mu ntungwa ja bhanu bha maanga nimusiga jintungwa je Chiyaudi, okubhaki omubhasinyilisha abhanu bha maanga okulibhata lwa Bhayaudi?”
15 We may be Jews by birth, and not ‘sinners’ like the foreigners,
Eswe bhanu chili Bhayaudi mu kwibhulwa nawe tali “Abhanu bha maanga abhabhibhi”
16 but we know that nobody is made right by doing what the law demands—it is only through trusting in Jesus Christ. We have trusted in Christ Jesus so that we could be made right by placing our confidence in Christ, and not through doing what the law says—because nobody is made right by observing the requirements of the law.”
numenye ati atalio unu kabhalilwa obhulengelesi kulwe bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo. Mbe nawe abhabhalilwa obhulengelesi kulwo kwikilisha mu Kristo itali kulwe bhikolwa ebhye bhilagilo. Kulwe bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo gutalio mubhili gulibhalilwa obhulengelesi.
17 For if, as we look to be made right in Christ, we ourselves prove to be sinners, does that then mean that Christ is in the service of sin? Of course not!
Mbe nawe lwa kutyo echimuyenja Nyamuanga okuchibhalila obhulengelesi mu Kristo, echisanga eswela chili bhabhibhi, angu Kristo akolelwe mugaya we bhibhibhi? Jitali kutyo!
18 For if I were to rebuild what I've destroyed, then I only demonstrate I'm a law-breaker.
Kwo kubha nikombaka obhwiikanyo bhwani ingulu yo kubhika ebhilagilo, obhwiikanyo obhwo namalile okubhusoshao, enimenyesha ati ninyamuye ebhilagilo.
19 For through the law I died to the law in order that I could live for God.
Okulabha mu bhilagilo nafuye kulwe bhilagilo, ku lwejo ejinyiya okulibhatila mu Nyamuanga.
20 I've been crucified with Christ— so it's no longer I who lives, but it is Christ living in me. The life I now live in this body, I live by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me, and who gave himself for me.
Nabhambilwe amwi na Kristo. Atali anye lindi unu nikae, nawe Kristo ekaye mwanye. Obhuanga bhunu nikae mu mubhili nikae kulwo kwikilisha mu Mwana wa Nyamuanga, unu anyendele nesosha ku lwanye.
21 How could I dismiss God's grace? For if we could be made right through keeping the law then Christ died a pointless death!
Nitakwigana echigongo cha Nyamuanga, kwo kubha labha obhulengelesi bhwabheyeo okulabha mu bhilagilo, mbe Kristo akabheye afuye kutyo ela.
