Galatians 2
1 After 14 years passed, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus also.
Unya human sa katorse ka tuig ako mitungas sa Jerusalem uban kang Barnabas.
2 But [I tell you that] I went up there because of what God revealed to me. [It was not because someone there asked me to come]. I told people what was the good message that I was preaching in regions where non-Jews live. But I talked privately to those whom your new teachers highly respect. I did that in order that what I was doing and what I had done [MET] might not become useless [MET] [as a result of people rejecting my message because they thought that I was teaching something that was not true].
Akong gidala usab si Tito uban kanako. Mitungas ako tungod kay ang Dios nagpadayag kanako nga kinahanglan ako moadto. Akong gisangon ngadto kanila ang ebanghelyo nga akong gimantala taliwala sa mga Gentil. (Apan nakigsulti ako sa tago lamang niadtong mga mahinungdanong mga pangulo). Ako kining gibuhat aron sa pagsiguro nga wala ako magdagan, o midagan, alang sa walay kapuslanan.
3 But [even though the leaders of the believers usually insisted that when non-Jews trusted in Christ someone must circumcise them], they did not even insist that Titus be circumcised, even though he was a Greek man who was with me.
Apan bisan gani si Tito, nga uban kanako, nga usa ka Griyego, wala gipugos aron magpatuli.
4 [I talked to them privately] because some people [successfully] pretended that they were fellow believers and associated with the true believers. They did that in order that they might observe closely what we do because we are free [from having to obey all the Jewish laws and rituals] because of our close relationship with Christ Jesus [MET]. Those people wanted to make us [like] slaves [MET] [of those rituals by convincing us that we cannot trust Christ solely but that we must also obey all the Jewish rituals].
Kining butanga mitungha tungod sa mga bakak nga kaigsoonan nga miabot sa tago aron sa pagpaniid sa atong kagawasan nga anaa kang Cristo Jesus. Sila nagtinguha nga kita mahimong mga ulipon diha sa balaod.
5 But not even briefly did we [(exc)] do what they wanted [about circumcision. We(exc) resisted them] in order that the truth of the message about Christ might continue to [benefit] you.
Wala kita mitugot nga magpasakop kanila bisan sa usa lamang ka takna, aron nga ang kamatuoran sa ebanghelyo magpabilin nga dili mausab alang kaninyo.
6 The [leaders in Jerusalem], whom your new teachers respect, did not add anything to what I preach. [And I would add that] what status those leaders had did not influence me, because God does not favor certain/important persons [IDM] more than others.
Apan kadtong uban nga miingon nga ang mga pangulo walay gikahatag kanako. Bisan unsa sila dili kini igsapayan kanako. Ang Dios dili modawat sa mga pinalabi sa tawo.
7 Instead of those leaders adding to the message that I tell people, they understood that I had been given the good message {God had given the good message to me} so that I might proclaim it to the non-Jews [MTY], just like [God] had given the good message to Peter so that he might tell it to those who are Jews [MTY].
Hinuon, ilang nakita nga ako gisaligan sa pagmantala sa ebanghelyo niadtong dili mga tinuli. Kini sama kang Pedro nga nagmantala sa ebanghelyo niadtong tinuli.
8 That is, just like [God] had empowered/authorized Peter in order that he might be an apostle [to bring God’s message] to the Jews [MTY], he also had empowered/authorized me in order that I might be an apostle to [bring his message to] the non-Jews.
Kay ang Dios, nga namuhat uban kang Pedro alang sa pagkaapostol niadtong mga tinuli, namuhat usab kanako ngadto sa mga Gentil.
9 And [those leaders] knew that God had kindly given to me this special work. So James, Peter, and John, the ones whom your new teachers [respect because they are] leaders [MET] [of the believers], shook hands with us [IDM] [to show that they agreed that Barnabas and I are serving the Lord just like they are, and that we are preaching the same message that they are preaching]. They also agreed that we [(exc)] are the ones whom God was sending to [tell his message to] non-Jews, but that God is sending them to [tell his message to] Jews [MTY].
Sa dihang si Santiago, Cephas, ug Juan, nga naila ingon nga maoy nagtukod sa simbahan, nakasabot sa grasya nga gihatag kanako, ilang gihatag ang ilang tuong kamot sa pag-abiabi kang Barnabas ug kanako. Ila kining gibuhat aron nga kita kinahanglan moadto sa mga Gentil, ug aron nga sila kinahanglan moadto niadtong mga tinuli.
10 They merely urged that we [(exc)] still remember to help the poor [fellow believers who live in Jerusalem]. That is exactly what I have been eager to do.
Gusto usab nila nga atong hinumdoman ang mga kabos. Ako usab matinguhaon sa pagbuhat nianang maong butanga.
11 But [later while I was at] Antioch [city], after Peter came there, I told him directly [SYN] that what he was doing was wrong.
Karon sa dihang si Cephas miabot sa Antioch, ako siyang gibadlong diha sa iyang atubangan tungod kay siya sayop.
12 [This is what happened]: [Peter went to Antioch and started eating regularly with non-Jewish believers there]. Later there were certain [Jewish believers who] came [to Antioch who claimed that] James, [the leader of the congregations in Jerusalem], had sent them. But when [those certain] men came, Peter gradually quit [eating] with the non-Jewish believers and would not associate with them. He was afraid that the Jewish [believers from Jerusalem would criticize him for associating with non-Jews].
Sa wala pa miabot ang pipila ka mga tawo nga gikan kang Santiago, si Cephas nakigkaon uban sa mga Gentil. Apan sa dihang kining mga tawhana miabot, siya mihunong ug mipalayo gikan sa mga Gentil. Siya nahadlok niining mga tawhana nga nagkinahanglan sa pagpatuli.
13 Also, the other Jewish [believers who were in Antioch] [SYN] acted (insincerely/in a way that they knew was not right) along with [Peter]. The result was that they convinced even Barnabas to [stop associating with the non-Jewish believers]!
Usab ang kadaghanan sa mga Judio miapil niining pagpakaaron-ingnon ni Cephas. Ug tungod niini bisan gani si Barnabas nadala usab sa ilang pagpakaaron-ingnon.
14 But when I realized that they were not acting according to the truth of the message about Christ, [when] all [the fellow believers there] were present, I told Peter [the following]: “Although you [(sg)] are a Jew, [you often conduct yourself] like non-Jews [do by disregarding Jewish laws about food. When you are among non-Jews], you [(sg)] do not customarily conduct yourself at all like Jews [do]. So, (now it is wrong that you [(sg)] are causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs!/why are you [(sg)] causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs?) [RHQ]”
Apan sa dihang akong nakita nga wala sila misunod sa kamatuoran sa ebanghelyo, ako miingon ngadto kang Cephas sa atubangan nilang tanan, “Kung ikaw Judio apan nagpuyo sa Gentil nga pamatasan inay diha sa Judio nga pamatasan, unsaon nimo pagpugos ang mga Gentil nga magpuyo sama sa mga Judio?”
15 Some of us [believers] were born as Jews. We [(exc)] were not born as non-Jews. [We Jews have always considered non-Jews to be] ‘sinners’ [because they do not obey the Jewish rituals and laws].
Kita nga mga Judio pinaagi sa pagpakatawo ug dili “Gentil nga mga makasasala”
16 But we [(exc)] now know that it is not because some person obeys the laws [that God gave to Moses] that [God] erases the record of that person’s sins. [God erases the record of a person’s sins only if that person trusts in what Jesus Christ has done]. Even we [(exc)] Jews trusted Christ Jesus. We [(exc)] did that in order that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our trusting Christ, and not because of our obeying the laws [that God gave to Moses. God has said that] he will [never] erase the record of people’s sins just because of their obeying those laws.
nasayod nga walay usa ang gipakamatarong pinaagi sa mga buhat sa balaod. Hinuon, sila gipakamatarong pinaagi sa pagtuo kang Jesu-Cristo. Kita miabot sa pagtuo kang Cristo Jesus aron nga kita mamatarong pinaagi sa pagtuo kang Cristo ug dili pinaagi sa mga buhat sa balaod. Kay pinaagi sa mga buhat sa balaod walay unod nga mamatarong.
17 Furthermore, because we [(exc) Jews] desired that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our relationship with Christ, [it means that] we realized that we ourselves were sinners [like non-Jews, whom we called] sinners, [because we(exc) also were not obeying the Jewish rituals and laws]. [But] ([we(inc) certainly cannot conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin./[should we conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin?) [RHQ] [No, Christ] certainly does not [cause anyone to sin].
Apan kung, sa dihang kita mangita sa Dios aron nga mamatarong kita diha kang Cristo, atong makaplagan usab ang atong mga kaugalingon nga makasasala, si Cristo ba nahimong usa ka sulugoon sa sala? Kini dili gayod!
18 So if I should again believe [that God would erase the record of my sins because of my obeying the laws that he gave to Moses] [MET], [I would be like a man who] rebuilds an old building that he tore down. It would [soon] be clear that I am one who disobeys those same laws [that God gave to Moses].
Kay kung akong tukoron pag-usab ang akong pagsalig sa pagbantay sa balaod, ang pagsalig nga ako nang giguba, akong ipakita ang akong kaugalingon ingon nga usa ka masinupakon sa balaod.
19 When [I realized that I could not earn God’s favor] by [obeying] the laws [that he gave to Moses, I decided not] to [respond to what those laws demanded] [MET], [just like] a dead person [does not respond to anything]. Now I live to [honor/serve] God.
Pinaagi sa balaod ako namatay sa balaod, aron nga ako magpuyo alang sa Dios.
20 [It is as though] I was with Christ when he was crucified {died on the cross} [MET] (OR, [It is as though] my [old way of life ended when] Christ died on the cross.) No longer am I [directing the way I behave as I did before I believed in Christ]. Now Christ [is directing how] I [behave. And whatever I do] now while I live, I do it trusting in God’s Son. He is the one who loved me and offered himself [as a sacrifice] for me.
Ako gilansang uban kang Cristo. Kini dili na ako ang nabuhi, apan si Cristo nga nagpuyo kanako. Ang kinabuhi nga ako karong gikinabuhi diha sa unod akong gikinabuhi pinaagi sa pagtuo sa Anak sa Dios, nga nahigugma kanako ug naghatag sa iyang kaugalingon alang kanako.
21 I am not rejecting [as useless] what God [did for me] ([kindly/that I did not deserve]), [as my opponents are doing. I fully accept that God saved me by acting kindly towards me]. If it is because people [obey the] laws [that God gave to Moses] that God erases the record of their sins, then Christ died (for nothing/needlessly).
Wala nako gisalikway ang grasya sa Dios, kay kung ang pagkamatarong anaa pinaagi sa balaod, busa si Cristo namatay sa walay hinungdan.
