< Galatians 2 >
1 After that, fourteen years later, I, again, went up unto Jerusalem, with Barnabas, taking with me Titus also;
Badala ya miaka kumi na nne nalotili kabhele Yerusalem pamonga ni Barnaba. Kabhele nan'tolili ni Tito pamonga ni nene.
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.
Nalotili ndabha ya K'yara ajidhihirishi kwa nene ya kuwa ni paswa kulota. Nabhekili palongolo pa bhene injili yanatangasi kwa bhanu bha mataifa. (Lakini nalongilili kwa kufigha kwa bhabhisemekana fiongozi bhamana). Naketili naa ili kuhakikisya ndabha nakembhelai hee, au nakembili mebhwa.
3 But, not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised; —
Ni kabhele Tito, yaayele pamonga ni nene, yaayele Myunani, alasimisibhu kutailibhwa.
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: —
Lijambo ele lahomili kwa ndabha ya bhalongo bhaudesi bhabhahidili kwa siri kupeleleza uhuru wa tuyenabhu kup'etela Kristu Yesu. Bhatamene kutuketa tete tuyelai bhatumwa bha Sheria.
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.
Tajipisili lepi kubhatii hata kwa lisaa limonga, ya ndabha injili ya ukueli ibakilai bila kubadilisya kwa muenga.
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;
Ila bhala bhabhajobhibhu ya kuwa ndo fiongozi bhachangili lepi kyoa kela kwa nene. Kyoakela kayayele bhakifu ketai kayelepi kya. maana kwa nene. K'yara hakubali upendeleo wa bhanadamu.
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,
Badala yaki, bhabhuene ya kuwa niaminibhu kutangasya injili kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu lepi. Yayele Katya Petro atangasyai injili kwa bhabhatailibhu.
8 For, he that energised in Peter, into an apostleship to the circumcision, energised also in me, for the nations, —
Kwa ndabha K'yara, yaafwanyili mbhombho mugati mwa Petro kwajia ya utume kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu, kabhele aketili mbhombho mugati mwa nene kwa bhanu bha mataifa.
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: —
Wati Yakobo, kefa, ni Yohana, ndo bhatambuliki ya kuwa bhajengili likanisa, bhamanyili neema ya napelibhu nene bhatupokili kup'etela ushirika nene ni Baketili naa ili ya ndabha tubhoki kwa bhanu bha mataifa, ni kabhele bha bhwesyai kulota kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu.
10 Only that we should remember, the destitute, —as to which I had given diligence, this very thing, to do.
Kabhele bhatulondai tete kubhakombhoka masikini. Nene kabhele nayele natamaniayi kuketa lijambo ele.
11 But, when Cephas came unto Antioch, to the face, [even], him, I resisted, because he stood condemned;
Wakati kefa paahidili Antiokia, na mphengili bhuasi bhuasi yandabha ayele akosili.
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;
Kabula ya bhanu kuzaa kuhida kuhomela kwa Yakobo, kefa ayele kulya pamonga ni bhanu bhamataifa. Ila bhanu abha bhabhahidili, alekili ni kubhoka kuhomela kwa bhanu bha mataifa. Ayele atilai bhanu bha bhilonda tohara.
13 And the rest of the Jews [also] used hypocrisy with him, so that, even Barnabas, was carried away by their hypocrisy.
Vilevile bhayahudi bhamana bhauengene ni unafiki obho pamonga ni kefa. Matokeo ghaki ghayele ni Barnaba atolibhu ni unafiki wa bhene.
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?
Panabhona yakuwa bhayelelepi kufuata injili ya ukueli, namjobhili kefa palongolo pa bhoa, “Katya muenga ndo bhayaudi ila mwiishi ni tabia sa bhanu bha mataifa badala ya tabia sa kiyaudi, kwa ndayakiki mkabhalasimisya bhanu bhamataifa kuishi katya bhayaudi?”
15 We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations,
Tete ambabho ndo bhayaudi bhakuhogoleka na siyo “Bhanu bhamataifa bhenye thambi”
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.
Manyai kujo ayelepi yaihesabibhwa haki kwa matendo gha Sheria. Badala yaki, bhihesabhwa haki kwa imani mugati mwa Yesu Kristu. Twahidili kwa imani mugati mwa Kristu Yesu ili yandabha tihesabibwa haki kwa imani mugati mwa Kristu na lepi kwa matendo gha Sheria. Kwa matendo ya sheria uyelepi mbhele waubhwanili kuhesabibhwa katya haki.
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!
Katya tukandonda K'yara wa kutuhesabila haki mugati mwa Kristu, tukajikolela tayhoto kabhele ndo bhenye thambi, je Kristu aketibhu n'tumwa wa thambi? Wala naa hee!
18 For, if, the things that I pulled down, these, again, I build, a transgressor, I prove, myself, to be.
Maana katya ni kajengai tegemeo la nene juu ya kutunza sheria, litegemelo ambalo namalili kulibhosya, nikajilasya nayhoni Kujo mvunja sheria.
19 For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: —
Kup'etela sheria nafuili mu sheria, kwa ele nipaswa kuishi kwajia ya K'yara.
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.
Nisulubibhu pamonga ni Kristu. So nene kabhele yakaniishi, Bali Kristu aaiishi mugati mwa nene. Maisha ghaniishi kup'etela mbhele niishi kwa imani mugati mwa muana wa K'yara yaa niganili ni kujitolela kwajia ya nene.
21 I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.
Nikaikana hee neema ya K'yara, maana katya haki yayayele kup'etela sheria, basi Kristu ngaayele afuili mebhwa.
