< Galatians 2 >
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Ze akila imyaka ikumi na inne nika longola hangi ku yerusalemu palung'wi nu Barnaba. Nikamuhola ga nu Tito palung'wi nu nene.
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.
Ai nongoe ku nsoko Itunda ai wikaminkiiye kitalane kina ai ntakiwe kulongola. Ai mbikile ntongeela ao nkani ni nza naza niitanantilye ku antu a mahi (kuiti ai ntambue ku kimpinyimpinyi ku nai atambulikile kina atongeelia a kusanigwa) ai nitumile izi iti kukomanilya kina ai natulaa shanga mankile, ang'wi ai mankile nankanda.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Ku iti ga uTito, nai watulaa palung'wi nu nene, ai watuile mu Yunai, Usingigwe kutalwa kiganda.
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;
Ikani ili ai lipumiie ku nsoko a aluna ni a uteele nai azile ku kimpinyimpinyi kudumiila uulyuku na katulaa nu wenso mung'wa Kristo Yesu. Ai akete nsula kuuzipya usese kutula atung'waa ilagiilyo.
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.
Shanga ai kipumilye kuakulya ga nu ku saa ing'wi, iti kina nkani ninza ni ya tai isage shanga ize ikailikile kitalanyu.
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,
Ku iti awo nai atambue kina ai atulaa shanga ai ahanguie kihi kitalane. Kihi nai atulaa akukituma shanga ai kituile ni ndogoelyo kitalane Itunda shanga ugombile ukuiili nu ana adamu.
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
Badala akwe, ai unihengile kina nihuiiwe kuitanantya inkani ni nza ku awo naza shanga atawe kiganda. Ai ituile anga uPetro watanantye nkani ninza nia tai ku nai atawe kiganda.
8 (for he who appointed Peter to be an apostle of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);
Ku ndogoelyo Itunda nai witumile u milimo mukati ang'wa Petro kunsoko utuungwaa ku awo nai atawe kiganda ai witumile ga umilimo mu kati ane ku antu ni a mahi.
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.
Itungo uYakobo, Kefa nu Yohananai akumukile kina ai azengileIlekeelo, ai alingile u ukende nai ninkiingwe unene, ai akusingiiye mu uhanguili unene, nu Barnaba. Ai itumile izi iti kina kulongole ku antu ni a mahi, hangi iti kina ahume kulongola ku awa ni atawe kiganda.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Ai akuloilwe ga nu sese kuakimbuka i aula. Unene ga ai natulaa nkete insula kituma ikani ili.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Matungo uKefa nai wakiza ku Antiokia ai numugiiye ikihenga ku nsoko ai watulaa walimangiila.
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.
Ze ikili i antu kitunga kupembya kupuma kung'wa Yakobo, u Kefa ai watulaa ukulya ni antu ni a mahi. Ku iti iantu awa nai akiza, ai ulekile nu kuhega kupuma ku antu ni a mahi. Ai watulaa witumbile i antu nai atakile i kidamu.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Lulo luulo i Ayahudi auya ai aambinkanile nu udosi uwu palng'wi nu Kefa. Wigeeli nu akwe ai otuile ga nu Barnaba ai uhoilwe nu udosi nu ao.
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?
Ku iti nai nihengile kina ai atulaa shanga atyatile nkani ninza ni a tai, ai numutambuie u Kefa ntongeela ao ihi, ''Anga ize unyenye inge mi Ayahudi ku iti mikaie ntendo ni a antu a mahi badala a ntendo ni a Yahudi, Ku niki mukuasinja i antu ni amahi kikie anga Ayahudi?''.
15 "We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,
Usese naza ki Ayahudi kia kutugwa hangi shanga ''antu a mahi ni anya milandu ''.
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.
linga kina kutili nui ailigwa i tai ku ntendo ni a ilagiilyo. Badala akwe i ailigwa tai ane ku uhuiili mukati ang'wa Yesu Kristo. Ai kuzile ku uhuiili mukate ang'wa Kristo Yesu iti kina kialigwa tai ane ku uhuiili mukate ang'wa Kristo hangi shanga ku ntendo ni a malagiilyo. Ku ntendo ni a malagiilyo kutili umuili nu ika aligwa tai ane.
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.
Kuiti anga ni kuumuduma Itunda ku kualya itai ane mukati ang'wa Kristo, keenda ihanga akola ga kina anya milandu, itii uKristo ai uzipigwe mutung'waa nu a milandu? shanga iti!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Ndogoelyo anga nzenge isumbiilyo ni lane migulya a kuika ilagiilyo, isumbiilyo naza nakondaa kuliheja, kilagiila u mukola kina kubunanga ilagiilyo.
19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.
Kukiila ilagiilyo ai nkule ki ilagiilyi Kululo ntakiwe kikie kunsoko ang'wa Itunda.
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.
Nagigwe palung'wi nu Kristo, shanga nene hangi ni nikie, ila Kristo nuikie mukati ane. Likalo ni nikie mu muili nikie ku uhuiili mukate ang'wa ng'wana wang'wa Itunda, nai iza umuloilwe nu kipumya kunsoko ane.
21 I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing."
Shanga nu uhitile u ukende nu ang'wa Itunda, ndogoelyo anga itai ane ai ikoli kukiila ilagiilyo, Uugwa u Kristo ai uzeetula ukule na nkanda.
