Galatians 2
1 Fourteen years later I returned to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus along with me.
| پس بعد از چهارده سال با برنابا باز به اورشلیم رفتم و تیطس را همراه خود بردم. | ۱ |
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.
| ولی به الهام رفتم و انجیلی را که در میان امت هابدان موعظه می‌کنم، به ایشان عرضه داشتم، امادر خلوت به معتبرین، مبادا عبث بدوم یا دویده باشم. | ۲ |
3 But as it turned out, nobody even insisted that Titus who was with me should be circumcised, though he was Greek.
| لیکن تیطس نیز که همراه من و یونانی بود، مجبور نشد که مختون شود. | ۳ |
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.
| و این به‌سبب برادران کذبه بود که ایشان را خفیه درآوردند وخفیه درآمدند تا آزادی ما را که در مسیح عیسی داریم، جاسوسی کنند و تا ما را به بندگی درآوردند. | ۴ |
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.)
| که ایشان را یک ساعت هم به اطاعت در این امر تابع نشدیم تا راستی انجیل در شماثابت ماند. | ۵ |
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.)
| اما از آنانی که معتبراند که چیزی می‌باشند -هرچه بودند مرا تفاوتی نیست، خدا بر صورت انسان نگاه نمی کند - زیرا آنانی که معتبراند، به من هیچ نفع نرسانیدند. | ۶ |
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,
| بلکه به خلاف آن، چون دیدند که بشارت نامختونان به من سپرده شد، چنانکه بشارت مختونان به پطرس، | ۷ |
8 (for the same God who worked through Peter as apostle to the Jews also worked through me as apostle to the foreigners),
| زیرا او که برای رسالت مختونان در پطرس عمل کرد، در من هم برای امت‌ها عمل کرد. | ۸ |
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.
| پس چون یعقوب وکیفا و یوحنا که معتبر به ارکان بودند، آن فیضی را که به من عطا شده بود دیدند، دست رفاقت به من وبرنابا دادند تا ما به سوی امت‌ها برویم، چنانکه ایشان به سوی مختونان؛ | ۹ |
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.
| جز آنکه فقرا را یادبداریم و خود نیز غیور به کردن این کار بودم. | ۱۰ |
11 However, when Peter came to Antioch I did have to confront him directly, because he was clearly wrong in what he did.
| اما چون پطرس به انطاکیه آمد، او را روبرومخالفت نمودم زیرا که مستوجب ملامت بود، | ۱۱ |
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.
| چونکه قبل از آمدن بعضی از جانب یعقوب، باامت‌ها غذا می‌خورد؛ ولی چون آمدند، از آنانی که اهل ختنه بودند ترسیده، باز ایستاد و خویشتن را جدا ساخت. | ۱۲ |
13 As well as Peter, other Jewish Christians became hypocritical too, to the extent that even Barnabas was persuaded to follow their hypocrisy.
| و سایر یهودیان هم با وی نفاق کردند، بحدی که برنابا نیز در نفاق ایشان گرفتارشد. | ۱۳ |
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?
| ولی چون دیدم که به راستی انجیل به استقامت رفتار نمی کنند، پیش روی همه پطرس را گفتم: «اگر تو که یهود هستی، به طریق امت‌ها ونه به طریق یهود زیست می‌کنی، چون است که امت‌ها را مجبور می‌سازی که به طریق یهود رفتارکنند؟» | ۱۴ |
15 We may be Jews by birth, and not ‘sinners’ like the foreigners,
| ما که طبع یهود هستیم و نه گناهکاران از امت‌ها، | ۱۵ |
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.”
| اما چونکه یافتیم که هیچ‌کس ازاعمال شریعت عادل شمرده نمی شود، بلکه به ایمان به عیسی مسیح، ما هم به مسیح عیسی ایمان آوردیم تا از ایمان به مسیح و نه از اعمال شریعت عادل شمرده شویم، زیرا که از اعمال شریعت هیچ بشری عادل شمرده نخواهد شد. | ۱۶ |
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!
| اما اگر چون عدالت در مسیح را می‌طلبم، خود هم گناهکار یافت شویم، آیا مسیح خادم گناه است؟ حاشا! | ۱۷ |
18 For if I were to rebuild what I've destroyed, then I only demonstrate I'm a law-breaker.
| زیرا اگر باز بنا کنم آنچه راکه خراب ساختم، هرآینه ثابت می‌کنم که خود متعدی هستم. | ۱۸ |
19 For through the law I died to the law in order that I could live for God.
| زانرو که من بواسطه شریعت نسبت به شریعت مردم تا نسبت به خدا زیست کنم. | ۱۹ |
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.
| با مسیح مصلوب شده‌ام ولی زندگی می‌کنم لیکن نه من بعد از این، بلکه مسیح در من زندگی می‌کند. و زندگانی که الحال در جسم می‌کنم، به ایمان بر پسر خدا می‌کنم که مرا محبت نمود و خود را برای من داد. | ۲۰ |
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!
| فیض خدا را باطل نمی سازم، زیرا اگر عدالت به شریعت می‌بود، هرآینه مسیح عبث مرد. | ۲۱ |
