< Galatians 2 >

1 Fourteen years afterward I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
Are xikꞌow kajlajuj junabꞌ, xinpaqiꞌ chik junmul pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, wachiꞌl ri Bernabé, xuqujeꞌ ri Tito.
2 It was in obedience to a revelation that I went; and I laid before the apostles the good news that I am proclaiming among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those who are thought highly of because I was afraid that I might possibly be taking, or might have already taken, a course which would prove useless.
Xineꞌ pa Jerusalén rumal ri xinnimaj ri jun qꞌalajisanik ri xkꞌut chinuwach. Xqamulij kꞌu qibꞌ kukꞌ ri qas e kꞌamal taq bꞌe, xintzijoj kꞌut chike ri utz laj tzij ri tajin kintzijoj chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rech kinto jas kakibꞌij, rech jeriꞌ man xaq ta tzaqel ri nubꞌanom.
3 Yet even my companion, Titus, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised.
Ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kꞌut, man xkitaqchiꞌj ta ne ri Tito ri bꞌenaq wukꞌ, chukojik ri retal ri chꞌekom tzij pa ri utyoꞌjal, pune ketaꞌm chi man aj Israel taj.
4 But, because of those who pretended to be followers who had stolen in, the intruders who had crept in to spy on the liberty which we have through union with Christ Jesus, in order to bring us back to slavery –
Pune e kꞌo jujun chilaꞌ ri xaq esal taq kiwach alaxik, xaq xwi keꞌkilaꞌ jas ri kujkwinik kaqabꞌano pa Cristo, rech jeriꞌ kujkitaqchiꞌj chubꞌanik ri kubꞌij ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
5 Why, we did not for a moment yield submission to them, so that the truth of the good news might be yours always!
Xa ta kꞌu ne jubꞌiqꞌ xeꞌqanimaj, rech jeriꞌ ri qas tzij rech ri utz laj tzij kajeqiꞌk piꞌwanimaꞌ.
6 Of those who are thought somewhat highly of – what they once were makes no difference to me; God does not recognize human distinctions – those, I say, who are thought highly of added nothing to my message.
Are kꞌu ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe, pune man kꞌo ta kutayij chwe ri kuꞌxik, jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Dios man kuqꞌat ta tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rumal ri kebꞌantajik, man kꞌo ta chi jun kꞌakꞌ jastaq ri xkibꞌij loq chwe.
7 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the good news for the Gentiles, just as Peter had been for the Jews.
Xane qas xkilo chi qas xchilibꞌex wi chwe utzijoxik ri utz laj tzij chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj jetaq ri xbꞌan che ri Pedro xchilibꞌex che kutzijoj ri utz laj tzij chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
8 For he who gave Peter power for his mission to the Jews gave me, also, power to go to the Gentiles.
Ri Dios ri xuya bꞌe che ri Pedro rech xux taqoꞌn kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel, xuya xuqujeꞌ bꞌe chwe xinux taqoꞌn kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
9 Recognizing the charge entrusted to me, James, Peter, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the church, openly acknowledged Barnabas and me as fellow workers, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.
Qas tzij ri Jacobo, ri Pedro xuqujeꞌ ri Juan, ri qas kabꞌan ke, xkilo chi qas xinkꞌamawaꞌj wi ri toqꞌobꞌ, xkichap ri qaqꞌabꞌ ri in xuqujeꞌ ri Bernabé chukꞌutik chi uj kachiꞌl chik, rech jeriꞌ kujeꞌ uj kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are kꞌu ri areꞌ kebꞌe kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
10 Only we were to remember the poor – the thing I was myself anxious to do.
Xwi xkichilibꞌej ubꞌixik chaqe chi kel qakꞌuꞌx chike ri e mebꞌaibꞌ, are kꞌut wa qilim loq ubꞌanik.
11 But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face; for he stood self-condemned.
Are xulik ri Pedro pa ri tinimit Antioquía, xinbꞌij chupalaj ri kanoꞌjinik, jeriꞌ rumal cher man utz ta ri tajin kubꞌano.
12 Before certain persons came from James, he had been in the habit of eating with the Gentile converts; but, when they came, he began to withdraw and hold aloof, because he was afraid of offending those who still held to circumcision.
Jeriꞌ rumal are majaꞌ kuꞌlik ri uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Jacobo, ri Pedro kawaꞌ kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj; are xuꞌlik we winaq riꞌ, xuchapleꞌj uqꞌatik ribꞌ chike ri e winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj jeriꞌ rumal xuxiꞌj ribꞌ chike ri winaq ri e kojtal ketal.
13 The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.
Are xkil ri nikꞌaj winaq aꞌj Israel ri xubꞌan ri Pedro, xkikoj kibꞌ rukꞌ pa ri ukawachil, ri Bernabé xuqujeꞌ xutereneꞌj ri kawach laj noꞌjibꞌal riꞌ.
14 But, when I saw that they were not dealing straightforwardly with the truth of the good news, I said to Peter, before them all, “If you, who were born a Jew, adopt Gentile customs, instead of Jewish, why are you trying to compel the Gentile converts to adopt Jewish customs?”
Are xinwilo chi man sukꞌ ta ri tajin kenoꞌjinik jetaq ri kubꞌij ri usukꞌal ri utz laj tzij, xinbꞌij che ri Pedro chikiwach konojel: We at at aj Israel, man je ta katnoꞌjinik jetaq jun aj Israel, ¿jas kꞌu che kaꞌtaqchiꞌj ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech kakibꞌan ri kakibꞌij ri winaq aꞌj Israel?
15 We, though we are Jews by birth and not sinners of Gentile origin, know that no one is pronounced righteous as the result of obedience to Law, but only through faith in Christ Jesus.
Ri uj uj aꞌj Israel wi pa qakꞌojiꞌkal, man uj aꞌjmakibꞌ taj jetaq ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
16 So we placed our faith in Christ Jesus, in order that we might be pronounced righteous, as the result of faith in Christ, and not of obedience to Law; for such obedience will not result in even one soul’s being pronounced righteous.
Qetaꞌm kꞌut chi man kꞌo ta jun kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che rumal ri chak ri kuta ri taqanik xane xaq xwi kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che jun rumal ri kojobꞌal pa Jesucristo, jeriꞌ rumal man kꞌo ta jun kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che rumal ri taqanik.
17 If, while seeking to be pronounced righteous through union with Christ, we were ourselves seen to be sinners, would that make Christ an agent of sin? Heaven forbid!
We kꞌu kaqaj kabꞌantaj sukꞌ chaqe rumal ri Cristo, riꞌ kel kubꞌij chi qas uj aꞌjmakibꞌ wi. ¿La kel kꞌu kubꞌij wa chi ri Cristo patanil rech ri makaj? Man je ta riꞌ.
18 For, if I rebuild the things that I pulled down, I prove myself to have done wrong.
We kꞌo jun kuwok chi jun jastaq ri xtukitajik, riꞌ kux chi ajmak junmul.
19 I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.
Ri in kꞌut in kaminaq chik pa ri taqanik rech ri Moisés, rech jeriꞌ in kꞌaslik chuyaꞌik uqꞌij ri Dios.
20 I have been crucified with Christ. So it is no longer I that live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and, as for my present earthly life, I am living it by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Xinriptaj rukꞌ ri Cristo, rumal riꞌ man in kꞌas ta chik xaq pa we wi, are ri Cristo kꞌas chwe. Ri tajin kinriq chanim pa ri nutyoꞌjal, kiriqo pa ri nukojobꞌal che ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios, Areꞌ xinloqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ xujach ribꞌ rumal we.
21 I do not reject the love of God. If righteousness comes through Law, then there was no need for Christ to die!
Man kinwetzelaj ta ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios. Jeriꞌ rumal we ta rumal ri taqanik xpe ri sukꞌal, man kꞌo ta bꞌa kutayij riꞌ ri ukamikal ri Cristo.
