Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Ie folo taoñe efats’ amby añe, le nionjomb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo indraike iraho nindre amy Barnabasy; nindese’ay ka t’i Titosy.
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.
Nionjoñe mb’eo te nentoeñe, aa ie natolako ze atao bey am’ iereo le nampalangeseko am’iereo ty talili-soa fitaroñako amo kilakila ondatio, ke tsy jefa’e i filaisakoy ndra i nilaisakoy.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Fe ndra i Titosy, Grika, mpiamakoy tsy nazi’ iereo ho savareñe.
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;
Ie amy zao pok’eo o roahalahi-anifeo, nijekejeke, nifilo ty fidadàn-tika am’ Iesoà Norizañey, handrohy an-tika.
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.
Fe tsy nimete niandaly am’iereo ndra ora raike zahay, soa te hirekets’ ama’ areo nainai’e ty hatò’ i talili-soay.
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,
Aa le o atao mpiaoloo, (toe tsy ahoako t’ie inoñe, amy te tsy mirihy t’i Andrianañahare)—toe tsy nahatovoñe inoñ’ inoñ’ amako i mpiaolo rey,
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
te mone, ie nahaoniñe te nafantoke amako i talili-soa’ o tsy sinavatseoy, manahak’ i Petera amo sinavatseo,
8 (for he who appointed Peter to be an apostle of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);
(amy te i nifanehake amy Petera ho Firàheñe amo sinavatseoy ro nifanehake amako ka ho amo kilakila ondatio),
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.
le ie nioni’ Iakobe naho i Kefasy vaho i Jaona, i atao fàhañe rey, i falalàñe natolotse ahikoy, le nañity fitàn-kavanam-pilongoañe amako naho amy Barnabasy, te zahay ro homb’ amo kilakila ondatio, naho iereo mb’amo sinavatseo,
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
vaho t’ie hahatiahy o rarakeo, fa toe malisa amy zay iraho.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Aa ie nivotrake Antiokia ao t’i Kefasy, le natreatreko an-dahara’e fa namà-batañe:
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.
amy t’ie taolo’ ty nivotraha’ ondaty boak’ am’ Iakobe añe le nitrao-pikama amo kilakila ondatio, fa naho niloneake eo iereo. nihankan-dre, nivìke amy fihembaña’e o mpiamo sinavatseoo.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Nitrao-pamañahiañe ama’e o Jiosy ila’eo, kanao sinoike añe amy famañahiañey ka t’i Barnabasy.
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?
Aa naho nitreako t’ie tsy nañavelo an-kavantañañe amy hatò’ i talili-soaiy, le hoe iraho amy Kefasy añatrefa’ iareo iaby: Naho ihe Jiosy ro mañorike ty fanao’ o kilakila ondatio fa tsy o Jiosio, le ino ty anoroa’o amo kilakila ondatio ty hañavelo manahake o Jiosio?
15 "We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,
Jiosy tika ami’ty nofotse fa tsy mpanan-kakeo boak’ amo kilakila ondatio,
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.
fohiñe te tsy mahavantañe ondaty ty fimanemaneañe Hake, fa ty figahiña’ Iesoà Norizañey. Aa le niantoke Iesoà Norizañey tika naho nivantañeñe amy figahinam-patokisa’ i Norizañeiy, le tsy am-pimanemanean-Kake, fa tsy eo ty ama’ nofotse ty ho vantañe’ ty fimanemaneañe Hake.
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.
Aa naho ie mipay ho vantañeñe amy Norizañey ro zoeñe te aman-kakeo; mahampitoron-kakeo i Norizañey hao zay? Sondo’e!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Fa naho atroako indraike i narotsakoy, le mamente-vatañe te mpiola.
19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.
I Hake ty namono i fimanemanean-diliy amako, hivelomako aman’ Añahare,
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.
niharo niradorado amy Norizañey iraho fe tsy izaho ty veloñe, fa mimoneñe amako ato i Norizañey, vaho ty fivelomako ami’ ty nofotse toy henaneo ro ivelomako amy fatokisañe te velome’ i Anan’ Añahare nikoko vaho namoe-ay ho ahikoy.
21 I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing."
Tsy apoko ty falalàn’ Añahare, fa naho nivantañe’ ty fimanemanean-Kake, le tsy vente’e ty nivetraha’ i Norizañey.
