Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Pēc tam, pēc četrpadsmit gadiem, es atkal nogāju uz Jeruzālemi ar Barnabu, arī Titu paņemdams līdz.
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.
Bet es turp nogāju caur kādu parādīšanu un tiem to evaņģēliju, ko es sludināju starp pagāniem, liku priekšā un sevišķi tiem jo cienīgiem, lai es velti neteku vai nebūtu skrējis.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Bet arī Titus, kas bija ar mani, Grieķis būdams, netapa spiests apgraizīties;
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;
Bet to ielīdušo viltīgo brāļu dēļ, kas bija iezagušies, izlūkot mūsu brīvību, kas mums ir iekš Kristus Jēzus, ka tie mūs darītu par kalpiem, -
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.
Tiem mēs ne acumirkli neesam ceļu griezuši nedz paklausījuši, lai evaņģēlija patiesība pie jums paliktu.
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,
Bet no tiem, kas bija jo cienīgi (kādi tie jebkad bijuši, tas man vienalga, Dievs neuzlūko cilvēka vaigu), šie jo cienīgie man neko nav uzlikuši klāt.
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
Bet turpretī, kad tie redzēja, ka evaņģēlijs man ir uzticēts pie tiem, kam ir priekšāda, tā kā Pēterim pie tiem, kas ir apgraizīti,
8 (for he who appointed Peter to be an apostle of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);
(Jo Tas, kas ar Pēteri bijis spēcīgs apustuļu amatā pie apgraizītiem, Tas arī bijis spēcīgs ar mani pie pagāniem) -
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.
Un kad Jēkabs, Kefas un Jānis, ko turēja par pīlāriem, atzina to žēlastību, kas man bija dota; tad tie man un Barnabam roku deva uz biedrību, lai mēs mācītu pagānus un viņi (mācītu) apgraizītos;
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Tikai lai mēs nabagus pieminētu, - un es arī esmu rūpējies to izdarīt.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Un kad Pēteris bija nācis uz Antioķiju, tad es tam acīs stājos pretī, jo viņš bija apsūdzams.
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.
Jo, pirms nekā no Jēkaba kādi bija atnākuši, viņš ēda kopā ar pagāniem; bet kad tie bija atnākuši, tad viņš atrāvās un nošķīrās, bīdamies tos no apgraizīšanas.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Un līdz ar viņu arī tie citi Jūdi apgrēkojās ar liekulību, tā ka arī Barnaba līdz tapa nogriezts caur viņu liekulību.
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?
Bet kad es redzēju, ka tie nestaigā pareizi pēc evaņģēlija patiesības, tad es Pēterim sacīju visiem dzirdot: Ja tu Jūds būdams dzīvo ka pagāns un nekā Jūds, ko tu spiedi pagānus, lai tie dzīvo kā Jūdi?
15 "We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,
Mēs no dzimuma esam Jūdi un ne grēcinieki no pagāniem;
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.
Bet zinādami, ka cilvēks netop taisnots caur bauslības darbiem, bet caur Jēzus Kristus ticību, arī mēs esam ticējuši uz Kristu Jēzu, lai topam taisnoti caur Kristus ticību un ne caur bauslības darbiem: tāpēc ka caur bauslības darbiem neviena miesa netaps taisnota.
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.
Bet ja mēs, kas meklējam tapt taisnoti iekš Kristus, arī paši topam atrasti grēcinieki, - vai tad Kristus ir grēka kalps? Nemaz ne!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Jo ja es to, ko esmu nolauzis, atkal uztaisu, tad pats kļūstu par pārkāpēju.
19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.
Jo es caur bauslību bauslībai esmu miris, lai dzīvotu Dievam.
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.
Es ar Kristu esmu krustā sists, bet es dzīvoju, tomēr vairs ne es, bet iekš manis dzīvo Kristus, un ko es tagad dzīvoju miesā, to dzīvoju ticībā uz To Dieva Dēlu, kas mani mīlējis un Pats par mani nodevies.
21 I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing."
Es nenicināju Dieva žēlastību; jo ja taisnība ir caur bauslību, tad Kristus velti miris.
