Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Kenaka, patatha zaka khumi ndi zinayi, ndinapitanso ku Yerusalemu, nthawi iyi ndinapita ndi Barnaba. Ndinatenganso Tito kuti apite nafe.
2 I went up by revelation, and I explained to them the Good News which I preach among those who are not Jewish, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
Ine ndinapita chifukwa Mulungu anachita kundionetsera kuti ndipite ndipo ndinakakumana ndi atsogoleri mu msonkhano mwamseri ndi kuwafotokozera Uthenga Wabwino umene ndimalalikira pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndinachita zimenezi kuti ndikhale ndi chitsimikizo kuopa kuti mwina ndinathamanga kapena ndimathamanga liwiro pachabe.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Komatu ngakhale Tito, amene anali nane sanakakamizidwe kuti achite mdulidwe, ngakhale iyeyo anali Mgriki.
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
Nkhani iyi inayambika chifukwa abale ena achinyengo amene analowerera pakati pathu kuti adzaone za ufulu umene tili nawo mwa Khristu Yesu ndikuti atisandutse akapolo.
5 to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
Ife sitinawagonjere ndi pangʼono pomwe, nʼcholinga chakuti choonadi cha Uthenga Wabwino chikhalebe ndi ife.
6 But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people)—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
Koma kunena za aja ankaoneka ngati ofunika kwambiri, chimene iwo anali sichisintha kanthu kwa ine; chifukwa Mulungu alibe tsankho, iwowo sanawonjezepo kanthu pa uthenga wanga.
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcision
Makamaka anaona kuti ine ndinapatsidwa ntchito yolalikira Uthenga Wabwino kwa anthu a mitundu ina monga momwe Petro anapatsidwa ntchito yolalikira Uthenga Wabwino kwa Ayuda.
8 (for he who appointed Peter to be an apostle of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);
Pakuti Mulungu, amene amagwira ntchito mu utumiki wa Petro monga mtumwi kwa Ayuda, amagwiranso ntchito mu utumiki wanga monga mtumiki kwa anthu a mitundu ina.
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the non-Jews, and they to the circumcised.
Yakobo, Petro ndi Yohane, amene ankatengedwa ngati mizati, atazindikira chisomo chimene chinapatsidwa kwa ine, anagwirana chanza ndi ine ndi Barnaba kusonyeza chiyanjano chathu. Iwo anavomereza kuti ife tipite kwa anthu a mitundu ina ndipo iwo apite kwa Ayuda.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Chimene iwo anapempha ndi chakuti ife tipitirize kukumbukira osauka, chinthu chimene ine ndinali okonzeka kuchichita.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Petro atafika ku Antiokeya, ine ndinamudzudzula pa gulu chifukwa anapezeka wolakwa.
12 For before some people came from James, he ate with those who were not Jewish. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
Pakuti asanafike anthu otumidwa ndi Yakobo, iye ankadya pamodzi ndi anthu a mitundu ina. Koma atafika, iyeyo anachoka pakati pa anthuwo nakakhala pa yekha chifukwa ankaopa anthu a mʼgulu la mdulidwe.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Ayuda enanso anamutsata pochita zachinyengozi, kotero kuti ngakhale Barnaba anasocheretsedwa chifukwa cha chinyengo chawocho.
14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the non-Jews do, and not as the Jews do, how can you compel the non-Jews to live as the Jews do?
Koma nditaona kuti iwo sankachita molingana ndi choonadi cha Uthenga Wabwino, ndinawuza Petro pamaso pa anthu onse kuti, “Iwe ndiwe Myuda koma ukukhala ngati munthu wa mtundu wina, osati Myuda. Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani ukukakamiza anthu a mitundu ina kuti akhale ngati Ayuda?
15 "We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,
“Ife amene ndife Ayuda mwachibadwa, osati anthu a mitundu ina ochimwa,
16 yet knowing that no one is justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
tikudziwa kuti munthu salungamitsidwa pochita ntchito za lamulo koma ndi chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Khristu. Chomwecho, ifenso tinakhulupirira Khristu Yesu kuti tilungamitsidwe mwachikhulupiriro mwa Khristu ndipo osati pochita ntchito za lamulo, chifukwa palibe amene adzalungamitsidwa pochita ntchito za lamulo.
17 But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not.
“Tsono ngati ife, pamene tikufuna kulungamitsidwa mwa Khristu, zikuonekeratu poyera kuti ndifenso ochimwa, kodi zikutanthauza kuti Khristu amalimbikitsa uchimo? Ayi. Nʼkosatheka!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Ngati ine ndimanganso chimene ndinachigumula, ndikuonetsa kuti ndine wophwanya lamulo.
19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.
“Pakuti pamene ndinayesera kutsatira lamulo, lamulolo linandionetsa kuti ndine wochimwa. Choncho ndinasiya kutsatira lamulo kuti ndikhale ndi moyo kwa Mulungu.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
Ndinapachikidwa pa mtanda pamodzi ndi Khristu, kotero kuti sindinenso amene ndili ndi moyo, koma ndi Khristu amene ali ndi moyo mwa ine. Moyo umene ndili nawo tsopano mʼthupi lino, ndi moyo mwachikhulupiriro mwa Mwana wa Mulungu, amene anandikonda nadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ine.
21 I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing."
Ine sindikukankhira kumbali chisomo cha Mulungu, chifukwa ngati chilungamo chikanapezeka pochita ntchito za lamulo, ndiye kuti Khristu anafa pachabe.”
