< Galatians 2 >
1 After that, fourteen years later, I, again, went up unto Jerusalem, with Barnabas, taking with me Titus also;
Payamasile yaka likumi ni ncheche, une ni che Banaba twajawile sooni ku Yelusalemu, twalongene ni che Tito.
2 And I went up by revelation, and laid before them the glad-message which I proclaim among the nations; privately, however, to them of repute, —lest, by any means, in vain, I should be running, or had run.
Najawile kweleko pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵamunukulile kuti nyaule. Patwatemi nkungulu pamo ni achakulu pe, naasalile nkati Ngani Jambone jinalalichile ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Natesile yele kuti masengo gangu ganatesile, ni gangugapanganya sambano, ganaŵe gangalimate.
3 But, not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised; —
Nambo, namose ajangu che Tito, jwali Mgiliki, nganakanganichiswa kuumbala,
4 But, [this was] because of the false brethren secretly introduced, —who, indeed, came in secretly to spy out our freedom, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: —
atamuno kwaliji ni ŵandu ŵaŵalitendaga ŵakukulupilila achinjetu ŵaŵasachile aumbale. Ŵandu ŵaŵalijinjisye kwa chisyepela ni kuuchilichisya kulecheleswa kwetu kutuli nako kwakulumbikana ni Kilisito Che Yesu, kuti atutende achikapolo.
5 Unto whom, not even for an hour, gave we place by the [required] submission, —in order that, the truth of the glad-message, might still abide with you.
Nambo nganitusaka kwajitichisya namose kanandi, kuti usyene wa Ngani Jambone usigale ni ŵanyamwe katema kose.
6 Moreover, from them who were reputed to be something, —whatsoever at one time, they were, maketh no difference to me, God accepteth not a man’s person, —unto me, in fact, they who were of repute added nothing further;
Nambo ŵandu ŵakutinji ali ilongola, iŵaga isyene ŵaliji ilongola pane ngaŵa ilongola, ngaŵa chindu kukwangu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakulamula kwa kulolechesya indu ya paasa, ŵandu wo nganakola indu yasambano yakunyonjechesya une.
7 But, on the contrary, —when they saw that I had been entrusted with the glad-message to the uncircumcision, even as, Peter, [with that] to the circumcision,
Kwayele, ŵaimanyilile kuti Akunnungu ŵangulupilile kuti nalalichile Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi mpela iŵatite pakwakulupilila che Petulo kwalalichila Ŵayahudi.
8 For, he that energised in Peter, into an apostleship to the circumcision, energised also in me, for the nations, —
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵantesile che Petulo kuŵa nduna kwa Ŵayahudi, ni jujojo jwandesile une nombe kuŵa nduna kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
9 And when they perceived the favour which had been given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave, the right hand of fellowship, unto me and Barnabas, in order that, we, [should go] unto the nations, and, they, unto the circumcision: —
Nipele, che Yakobo, che Petulo ni che Yohana, ŵaŵaliji ilongola achakulu, paŵaimanyilile kuti Akunnungu ŵambele upile wa masengo ga jikajikape ga, ŵatukamwile uwe makono, une ni che Banaba, chiŵe chimanyisyo cha kuti tuli ŵamo. Uwe twajawile kupanganya masengo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ŵanyawo kwa Ŵayahudi.
10 Only that we should remember, the destitute, —as to which I had given diligence, this very thing, to do.
Nambo ŵatuŵendile chindu chimo kuti, tukaaliŵalila ŵakulaga ŵaali mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu, chelecho none nachikamulichisye kuchitendekanya.
11 But, when Cephas came unto Antioch, to the face, [even], him, I resisted, because he stood condemned;
Nambo che Petulo paŵaiche ku Antiokia naakanile paujo pa ŵandu pakuŵa ŵaliji aleŵile.
12 For, before that certain came from James, with them of the nations, used he to eat; whereas, when they came, he used to withdraw, and keep himself separate, fearing them of the circumcision;
Kundanda, akanaiche ŵandu ŵampepe kutyochela ku che Yakobo, che Petulo ŵalyaga pamo ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Nambo paŵaiche pe, ŵalesile kulya ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ni kulisepusya nawo kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa ŵandu ŵaŵakanganichisye ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi aumbale.
13 And the rest of the Jews [also] used hypocrisy with him, so that, even Barnabas, was carried away by their hypocrisy.
Nombe achinjangu Ŵayahudi ŵane ŵaliunjile pamo ni che Petulo kutendekanya ya ulamba, nombe che Banaba ŵajinjilwe ni ulamba wao.
14 But, when I saw that they were not walking with straightforwardness as regardeth the truth of the glad-message, I said unto Cephas, before all: If, thou, although, a Jew, like them of the nations, and not like the Jews, dost live, how dost thou compel, them of the nations, to live like Jews?
Nipele, panaiweni kuti indu yakupanganya ngaikwilana ni usyene wa Ngani Jambone, nansalile che Petulo paujo pa ŵandu wose kuti, “Namuno mmwe nli Myahudi, nkutama mpela ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ngaŵa mpela Myahudi! Nipele nkukombola chinauli kulinga kwakanganichisya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kutama mpela Ŵayahudi?”
15 We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations,
Isyene, uwe tuli Ŵayahudi chipagwile, ni ngaŵa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaali ni sambi!
16 Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, [nor at all] save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous—by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous.
Isyene tukwimanyilila kuti ngaikukomboleka mundu kutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu, nambo kwa kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Noweji ŵakwe tumasile kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Tutendekwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi chetu kwa Kilisito, ni ngaŵa kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo. Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugakuya Malajisyo.
17 Now, if in seeking to be declared righteous in Christ we, ourselves also, were found sinners, —is Christ, therefore, a minister, of sin? Far be it!
Sambano, iŵaga tukusosa kutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya kulumbikana ni Kilisito, uweji tukuŵalanjikwa kuti tuli ŵa sambi, uli, achi chitendo chikulosya kuti Kilisito akwatenda ŵandu apanganye sambi? Ngwamba!
18 For, if, the things that I pulled down, these, again, I build, a transgressor, I prove, myself, to be.
Nambo iŵaga ngugumba sooni Malajisyo gunagagumwile, nipele nguti une ndili jwakuleŵa.
19 For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: —
Malajisyo gandesile naimanyilile kuti ngusachilwa kuwa. Kwayele nawile kuti ndyoche mu ulamusi wa malajisyo go kuti ndame kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Akunnungu. None ŵambikwe pamo ni Kilisito pansalaba.
20 With Christ, have I been crucified; and, living no longer, am, I, but, living in me, is, Christ, —while, so far as I now do live in flesh, by faith, I live—The faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up in my behalf.
Sambano ngaŵa une sooni jungutama, nambo Kilisito ni ŵakutama nkati mwangu. Umi ungwete sambano mu chiilu, ngwete pakuŵa ngunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu, juŵanonyele une mpaka ŵautyosisye umi wao kwa ligongo lyangu.
21 I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.
Ngangusaka kuukana upile wa Akunnungu. Iŵaga mundu akutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu, nipele, chiwa cha Kilisito changalimate!
