Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Mpopalapita byaka likumi ne bina ndalabwelela ku Yelusalemu pamo ne Banabasi kayi ne Tito.
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.
Ndalabwelelako cebo cakwambeti Lesa walandesheti ndelela kuya. Pamubungano wa batangunishi wa palubasu ndalapandulula Mulumbe Waina ngonkute kukambaukila bamishobo naimbi, ndalenseco pakwinga nkandalikuyandeti mulimo wakame ngondenshinga pacindi cino nambi ngondalensa kumasuba akunyuma ube wabulyo sobwe.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Weco muname Tito necikabeti walikuba mu Giliki nkalakakatishiweti apalulwe sobwe.
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;
Nambi kwalikuba nabambi bantu balikuyandeti apalulwe. Aba bantu balesa kababoneketi banse. Nsombi balesa kwena mubushishi kwambeti babone kusunguluka kwetu mukwikatana ne Klistu. Balikuyanda kutusanduleti tube basha,
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.
nsombi tuliya kubanyumfwilapo nambi kwakacindi kang'anowa, pakwinga twalikuyanda kumubambila kwesulila kwancinencine kwa Mulumbe Waina.
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,
Nomba kwamba sha basa mbobali kwambeti ebatangunishi, nkandicinshi na balikuba batangunishi nambi sobwe, ame ndiya naco ncito. Lesa nkakute kulanga kunsa sobwe, batangunishi aba nkabalampapo mano sobwe.
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
Necikabeco balabona kwambeti Lesa walampa mulimo wa kukambauka Mulumbe Waina kubantu bamishobo naimbi mbuli Petulo ncalapewa mulimo wa kukambaukila Bayuda.
8 (for he who appointed Peter to be an apostle of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);
Pakwinga Lesa epeloyo walatuma Petulo mutumwa kuli Bayuda, ewalampa ncito pakuntuma ku bantu bamishobo naimbi.
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.
Lino Jemusi ne Petulo kayi ne Yohane, aba ebalikuboneketi batangunishi mumubungano, balikwinsheti Lesa ewalampa ncito yapalubasu iyi. Neco balatupa mitende ame ne Banabasi mwakwikatana makasa, kulesha kwambeti tobamo. Neco twalasuminishanya kwambeti ame ne Banabasi nitusebenselenga kubantu bamishobo naimbi nabo basebenselenga pakati pa Bayuda.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Nomba balatusenga kwambeti katutaleka kuyeyelako bapenshi bali pakati pabo. Ici ecintu ncendayandangeti nyinse ne moyo wonse.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Lino pacindi Petulo mpwalesa ku Antiyokeya ndalamutoteka pamenso abantu pakwinga walikuba walubila.
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.
Pakwinga kabatana bashika bantu mbwalatuma Jemusi, Petulo walikalya ne baklistu ba mishobo naimbi, nsombi abo mpobalashika walacileka kulya nabo baklistu bamishobo naimbi, pakwinga walikutina baklistu ba Ciyuda abo balikuyandeti baklistu bamishobo naimbi bela kupalulwa.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Kayi nabambi baklistu ba Ciyuda naboyo balatatika kwinsa bintu byabula kwelela bya kwena pamo ne Petulo, neye Banabasi walawila kulubasu lwaba bantu balikwinsa bintu bya mushoboyu.
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?
Lino mpondalabona kwambeti nabo nkabalenshinga cakubinga kwelana ne calembwa mu Mulumbe Waina, ndalambila Petulo pamenso abantu bonse kwambeti, “Omuyuda obe, nsombi ulekalangeti muntu wamushobo umbi, eti ntobe Muyuda sobwe. Lino ngokakatisheconi bantu bamishobo naimbi kwambeti bekalengeti Bayuda?”
15 "We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,
Cakubinga njafwe Bayuda kukusemwa, kutambeti bantu bamishobo naimbi basa bakute kwambweti nibepishi.
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.
Neco tucinsheti muntu ukute kululamikwa ne Lesa kupitila mukushoma Yesu Klistu, kwakubula kukonka Milawo ncoilandanga. Nenjafwe twalashoma muli Klistu Yesu kwambeti tulamikiwe pamenso a Lesa, kwakubula kukonka Milawo ncoilayandanga. Pakwinga paliya muntu welela kululamikiwa ne Lesa cebo ca kukonkela Milawo.
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.
Nomba lino na afwe pakwelesha kuba balulama pamenso a Lesa mwakwikatana ne Yesu Klistu, tucaniketi tobeshi bwipishi eti bantu bamishobo naimbi, sena lino ekwambeti Klistu elalengeshengeti bantu basebenselenga bwipishi? Sobwe nambi pang'ana.
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Lino na ntatika kwibaka pa bintu bya milawo ya Mose njendalapwaya kendi, ekwambeti ngancanika ne mulandu.
19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.
Milawo eyalandesha kwambeti ndelela kufwa, neco ndalafwa kwambeti mfumemo mubwendeleshi bwa mulawo ne kwambeti buyumi bwakame bonse ndelela kusebensela Lesa.
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.
Ndalapopwa pamo ne Klistu palusanda. Neco buyumi ubu mbonkute ntebo bwakame, nsombi ni Klistu uyo wekala mulinjame. Buyumi ubu buli mulinjame, ndemuyumi kupitila mu lushomo muli Mwanendi Lesa uyo walansuna kayi walayaba buyumi bwakendi pacebo ca njame.
21 I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing."
Nkandakananga kwina moyo kwa Lesa. Nomba na muntu ululamikwa ne Lesa pakukonkela Milawo ekwambeti Klistu walafwila pabula.
