Galatians 2
1 Then after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas (having taken with [me] *NK(o)*) also Titus;
Kisha, baada ya miaka kumi na minne, nilipanda tena kwenda Yerusalemu pamoja na Barnaba, nikamchukua na Tito ili awe pamoja nami.
2 I went up now according to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles — apart privately however to those esteemed — lest perhaps in vain I may be running or have run.
Nilikwenda kwa sababu nilikuwa nimefunuliwa na Mungu, ili nikawaeleze kwa faragha wale walioonekana kuwa viongozi, ile Injili ninayoihubiri kwa watu wa Mataifa. Nilifanya hivyo kwa kuhofia kwamba nisije nikawa nilikuwa ninakimbia au nilikimbia bure.
3 But not even Titus who [was] with me myself, a Greek being, was compelled to be circumcised;
Lakini hata Tito ambaye alikuwa Myunani, hakulazimika kutahiriwa.
4 because of even the brought in secretly false brothers, who came in by stealth to spy out the freedom of us which we have in Christ Jesus, that us (they will enslave, *N(k)O*)
Lakini kwa sababu ya ndugu wa uongo ambao walijiingiza kwa siri katikati yetu ili kupeleleza uhuru wetu tulio nao katika Kristo Yesu, wapate kututia utumwani,
5 to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, so that the truth of the gospel may continue with you.
hatukukubaliana nao hata dakika moja, ili kwamba ukweli wa Injili ubaki nanyi.
6 Of now those esteemed to be something — whatsoever formerly they were no [thing] to me makes a difference; [the] face (*no*) God of a man not does take [account of]; to me myself for the esteemed no [thing] added,
Kwa habari ya wale waliokuwa wakubaliwe kuwa viongozi (kwangu mimi sikujali vyeo vyao, maana Mungu hana upendeleo), wale watu hawakuniongezea chochote.
7 But on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision even as Peter [with that] of the circumcision
Badala yake walitambua kwamba nilikuwa nimekabidhiwa kazi ya kuhubiri Injili kwa watu wa Mataifa, kama vile Petro alivyokabidhiwa kuhubiri Injili kwa Wayahudi.
8 the [One] for having worked in Peter for apostleship of the circumcision did also in me myself toward the Gentiles —
Kwa maana, Mungu aliyekuwa akitenda kazi katika huduma ya Petro kama mtume kwa Wayahudi, ndiye pia aliyekuwa anatenda kazi katika huduma yangu kama mtume kwa watu wa Mataifa.
9 and having known the grace which having been given to me, James and Cephas and John, those esteemed pillars to be, [the] right hands gave to me myself and to Barnabas of fellowship, that we ourselves [should go] (indeed *o*) to the Gentiles, they however to the circumcision,
Basi, Yakobo, Kefa na Yohana, walioonekana kama nguzo za kanisa, walitupa mkono wa shirika, mimi na Barnaba walipotambua ile neema niliyopewa. Wakakubali kwamba sisi twende kwa watu wa Mataifa na wao waende kwa Wayahudi.
10 Only [they asked] the poor that we may remember; that also I was eager [the] same thing to do.
Walichotuomba ni kwamba tuendelee kuwakumbuka maskini, jambo ambalo ndilo nililokuwa na shauku ya kulifanya.
11 When however came (Peter *N(k)O*) to Antioch, to face his I opposed [him], because condemned he was standing.
Lakini Petro alipofika Antiokia, mimi nilimpinga ana kwa ana kwa sababu alikuwa amekosea kwa wazi.
12 Before for to come certain ones from James with the Gentiles he was eating; when however (they came, *NK(O)*) he was drawing back and he was separating himself being afraid of those of [the] circumcision;
Kabla baadhi ya watu waliotoka kwa Yakobo hawajafika, alikuwa akila pamoja na watu wa Mataifa. Lakini hao watu walipofika alianza kujiondoa na kujitenga na watu wa Mataifa kwa sababu aliwaogopa wale wa kundi la tohara.
13 And acted hypocritically with him also the rest of [the] Jews so that even Barnabas was carried away of them by the hypocrisy.
Pia Wayahudi wengine waliungana naye katika unafiki huu, hata Barnaba naye akapotoshwa na unafiki wao.
14 But when I saw that not they are walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said (to Peter *N(k)O*) before all; If you yourself a Jew being like a Gentile and (not *N(k)O*) like a Jew live, (why *N(k)O*) the Gentiles do you compel to Judaize?
Nilipoona kwamba hawatendi sawasawa na kweli ya Injili, nilimwambia Petro mbele ya wote, “Wewe ni Myahudi, nawe unaishi kama mtu wa Mataifa na wala si kama Myahudi. Imekuwaje basi, mnawalazimisha watu wa Mataifa kufuata desturi za Kiyahudi?
15 We ourselves by birth Jews and not of [the] Gentiles sinners;
“Sisi wenyewe ni Wayahudi kwa kuzaliwa na si watu wenye dhambi kama watu wa Mataifa,
16 knowing (then *no*) that not is justified a man by works of law only except through faith from Jesus Christ even we ourselves in Christ Jesus believed, that we may be justified by faith from Christ and not by works of the Law; (since *N(k)O*) by works of the Law not will be justified any flesh.
bado tunajua ya kwamba mtu hahesabiwi haki kwa matendo ya sheria bali kwa njia ya imani katika Yesu Kristo. Hivyo sisi pia, tumemwamini Kristo Yesu ili tupate kuhesabiwa haki kwa njia ya imani katika Kristo, wala si kwa matendo ya sheria, kwa sababu kwa kushika sheria hakuna hata mtu mmoja atakayehesabiwa haki.
17 If however seeking to be justified in Christ have been found also we ourselves sinners, surely not [is] Christ of sin a minister? Never would it be!
“Lakini tukitafuta kuhesabiwa haki katika Kristo, inakuwa dhahiri kwamba sisi ni wenye dhambi. Je, ina maana kwamba Kristo amekuwa mtumishi wa dhambi? La hasha!
18 If for that I had torn down, these things again I build, a transgressor myself I prove;
Lakini ikiwa mimi ninajenga tena kile ambacho nimekwisha kukibomoa, basi ninaonyesha kwamba mimi ni mkosaji.
19 I myself for through [the] Law to [the] Law died, that to God I may live.
Kwa maana mimi kwa njia ya sheria, nimeifia sheria ili nipate kuishi kwa ajili ya Mungu.
20 to Christ I have been crucified with; I live now no longer no longer I myself, lives however in me myself Christ; that which then now I live in [the] flesh, through faith I live that from the Son of God (and Christ *O*) the [One who] having loved me and having given up Himself for me.
Nimesulubiwa pamoja na Kristo, wala si mimi tena ninayeishi, bali Kristo ndiye aishiye ndani yangu. Uhai nilio nao sasa katika mwili, ninaishi kwa imani ya Mwana wa Mungu, aliyenipenda na kujitoa kwa ajili yangu.
21 Not I do set aside the grace of God; if for through [the] Law righteousness [is], then Christ for naught died.
Siibatilishi neema ya Mungu, kwa maana kama haki ingeweza kupatikana kwa njia ya sheria, basi Kristo alikufa bure!”
