Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Apre sa, katòz lanne te pase anvan m' te moute lavil Jerizalèm ankò, fwa sa a ansanm ak Banabas. Mwen te mennen Tit avè m' tou.
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.
Kifè m' te moute a, se paske Bondye te fè m' konnen pou m' te fè sa. Nan yon reyinyon mwen te gen apa ak dirijan yo, mwen mete devan yo bon nouvèl mwen t'ap anonse moun ki pa jwif yo. Mwen pa t' vle pou ni travay mwen te fin fè a, ni travay mwen t'ap fè a pase pou anyen.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Enben, Tit ki te avè m' lan, se moun peyi Lagrès li ye: yo pa t' egzije l' sikonsi,
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;
atout kèk swadizan frè ki te fofile kò yo nan mitan nou te vle yo sikonsi li. Moun sa yo te glise kò yo nan mitan nou tankou espyon k'ap veye libète nou gen nan Jezi Kris la. Yo te vle fè nou tounen esklav ankò.
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.
Nou pa janm ba yo pye sou nou pou n' te ka defann verite ki nan bon nouvèl la pou nou menm, moun Galasi.
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,
Moun ki te pase pou chèf yo, mwen pa bezwen konnen sa yo te ye vre, paske Bondye pa gade sou figi moun-wi, moun ki te pase pou chèf yo, yo pa t' fè m' okenn lòt egzijans.
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
Okontrè, yo wè Bondye te renmèt mwen travay anonse bon nouvèl la bay moun ki pa jwif yo, menm jan li te renmèt Pyè travay anonse l' bay jwif yo.
8 (for he who appointed Peter to be an apostle of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);
Paske, Bondye ki te mete Pyè apa pou sèvi apòt pou jwif yo, se li menm ki te mete m' apa tou pou m' te ka sèvi apòt pou moun ki pa jwif yo.
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.
Lè sa a, Jak, Pyè ak Jan ki te pase pou chèf nan legliz la, yo te rekonèt se Bondye ki te ban m' travay sa a, yo bay Banabas ak mwen lanmen tankou asosye. Nou tonbe dakò pou Banabas ak mwen al travay nan mitan moun ki pa jwif yo, pou yo menm y' al travay ak jwif yo.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Yon sèl bagay yo te mande nou: se pou n' te toujou chonje pòv ki nan legliz yo. Nou pa t' janm manke fè sa.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Men, lè Pyè te vini lavil Antiòch, mwen te fè yon bout ak li devan tout moun, paske sa l' te fè a pa t' bon.
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.
Lè l' te fèk rive, li t'ap manje byen pwòp ak frè ki pa jwif yo. Men, lè moun Jak te voye yo vin rive, li mete kò l' sou kote, li refize manje ak frè ki pa jwif yo, paske li te pè patizan moun sikonsi yo.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Lòt frè jwif yo te kòmanse fè menm jan ak li. Ata Banabas te pran tou. Li t'ap swiv yo nan ipokrizi sa a.
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?
Lè m' wè yo pa t'ap mache dwat dapre verite ki nan bon nouvèl la, mwen di Pyè devan tout moun: Ou menm ki jwif, ou pa t' viv isit la tankou jwif, men tankou moun ki pa jwif. Poukisa jòdi a w'ap fòse frè ki pa jwif yo pou yo viv tankou jwif?
15 "We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,
Nou menm, nou se jwif natif natal, nou pa soti nan ras moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap plede fè peche.
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.
Men, nou konnen se pa paske yon moun fè tou sa lalwa jwif yo mande kifè li inonsan devan Bondye, men se lè li mete konfyans li nan Jezikri Bondye va fè l' gras. Se poutèt sa, nou menm tou, nou te mete konfyans nou nan Jezikri. Konsa, se pa paske nou te fè sa lalwa jwif yo mande kifè Bondye fè nou gras, men se paske nou te mete konfyans nou nan li. Bondye p'ap fè pesonn gras paske li fè sa lalwa mande.
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.
Men, si antan m'ap chache pou Bondye fè m' gras gremesi Kris la, moun wè m'ap fè peche menm jan ak moun lòt nasyon yo, èske sa vle di se nan avantaj peche a Kris la ap travay? Non, yo pa ka di sa.
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Paske, si m'ap rebati sa m' te kraze a, mwen tou moutre se dezobeyi m'ap dezobeyi lalwa.
19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.
Annegad lalwa, mwen se yon moun ki mouri, epi se lalwa a menm ki touye m' pou m' ka viv pou Bondye. Mwen mouri kloure ansanm ak Kris la sou kwa a.
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.
Se sak fè, se pa mwen k'ap viv ankò, se Kris la k'ap viv nan mwen: lavi m'ap mennen nan kò m' koulye a, m'ap viv li nan konfyans mwen gen nan Pitit Bondye a ki te renmen m' sitèlman li te rive bay lavi l' pou mwen.
21 I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing."
Mwen pa voye favè Bondye fè m' lan jete. Paske, si lalwa ka fè Bondye fè yon moun gras, enben, Kris la mouri pou gremesi.
