Galatians 2
1 Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Bwe waayitawo emyaka kkumi n’ena ne nzirayo ne Balunabba ne Tito e Yerusaalemi.
2 And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.
Nagendayo olw’okubikulirwa kwe nafuna, ne mbanjulira Enjiri gye mbuulira Abaamawanga. Nayogera n’abakulembeze b’Ekkanisa mu kyama balyoke bategeere bye njigiriza, si kulwa nga nteganira bwereere, ne bakkiriza nti bituufu.
3 But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Tito gwe nnali naye ne batamuwaliriza kukomolebwa, newaakubadde nga yali munnaggwanga.
4 and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
Naye olw’abooluganda ab’obulimba abaayingizibwa mu kyama okuketta eddembe lye tulina mu Kristo Yesu, balyoke batufuule abaddu,
5 to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
abo tetwabawuliriza essaawa n’emu, amazima g’enjiri galyoke geeyongerenga mu mmwe.
6 But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man’s person)—they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:
Naye abo abaabalibwa ng’okuba ekintu eky’omuwendo, abataaliko bwe baali gye ndi kubanga Katonda tasosola mu bantu, nze gye ndi tebalina kye bannyongerako,
7 but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with [the gospel] of the circumcision
naye mu ngeri endala bwe baalaba nga nateresebwa Enjiri ey’abatali bakomole, nga Peetero bwe yateresebwa ey’abakomole,
8 (for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);
oyo eyakolera mu Peetero olw’obutume bw’abakomole, ye yakolera ne mu nze ku lw’Abaamawanga.
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision;
Yakobo ne Keefa ne Yokaana abaalabikanga ng’empagi bwe baalaba ekisa ekya mpeebwa, ne batukwata mu ngalo eza ddyo nze ne Balunabba nga bassa kimu naffe nti ffe tubeere mu Bamawanga, naye bo babeere mu b’abakomole.
10 only [they would] that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Kye baatusaba kyokka tujjukirenga abaavu, ate ng’ekyo kye nnali nesunga okukola.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.
Naye Peetero ate era nga ye Keefa, bwe yajja mu Antiyokiya ne mmunenya mu lwatu kubanga yali mukyamu.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision.
Kubanga abaava eri Yakobo bwe baali tebannajja, yalyanga n’Abamawanga, naye bwe bajja n’atandika okubeeyawulako ng’atya abakomole.
13 And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.
Abayudaaya abalala bonna ne bamwegattako mu bukuusa, ekyo ne kireetera ne Balunabba okusendebwasendebwa obukuusa bwabwe.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Naye bwe nalaba nga tebatambula bulungi ng’amazima g’enjiri bwe gali, ne ŋŋamba Keefa mu maaso gaabwe bonna nti, “Obanga ggwe Omuyudaaya ogoberera empisa z’Abamawanga ezitali za Kiyudaaya, owaliriza otya Abaamawanga okugobereranga empisa z’Ekiyudaaya?”
15 We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Ffe mu buzaaliranwa tuli Bayudaaya so si Bamawanga aboonoonyi.
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, save through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Kyokka tukimanyi bulungi nti omuntu taweebwa butuukirivu lwa kugondera mateeka, wabula abufuna lwa kukkiriza Yesu Kristo, era naffe kyetwava tukkiriza Yesu Kristo tulyoke tuweebwe obutuukirivu olw’okumukkiriza so si lwa kugondera mateeka. Kubanga tewali n’omu aliweebwa obutuukirivu olw’ebikolwa eby’amateeka.
17 But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.
Naye oba nga bwe twanoonya okuweebwa obutuukirivu mu Kristo twasangibwa okuba aboonoonyi, kitegeeza nti Kristo muweereza wa kibi? Kikafuuwe.
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.
Kubanga bwe nzimba nate bye nazikiriza, nneeraga nzekka okuba omwonoonyi.
19 For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.
Kubanga olw’amateeka nnafa eri mateeka, ndyoke mbeere omulamu mu Katonda. Nakomererwa wamu ne Kristo;
20 I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live; [and yet] no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
kyokka ndi mulamu, si ku bwange, wabula ku bwa Kristo abeera mu nze; era obulamu bwe nnina kaakano mu mubiri, mbulina lwa kukkiriza Omwana wa Katonda, eyanjagala ne yeewaayo yekka ku lwange.
21 I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.
Ssidibya kisa kya Katonda; naye oba nga obutuukirivu buva mu mateeka, nga Kristo yafiira bwereere.
