Galatians 2
1 After 14 years passed, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus also.
அநந்தரம்’ சதுர்த³ஸ²ஸு வத்ஸரேஷு க³தேஷ்வஹம்’ ப³ர்ணப்³பா³ ஸஹ யிரூஸா²லமநக³ரம்’ புநரக³ச்ச²ம்’, ததா³நோம்’ தீதமபி ஸ்வஸங்கி³நம் அகரவம்’|
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].
தத்காலே(அ)ஹம் ஈஸ்²வரத³ர்ஸ²நாத்³ யாத்ராம் அகரவம்’ மயா ய: பரிஸ்²ரமோ(அ)காரி காரிஷ்யதே வா ஸ யந்நிஷ்ப²லோ ந ப⁴வேத் தத³ர்த²ம்’ பி⁴ந்நஜாதீயாநாம்’ மத்⁴யே மயா கோ⁴ஷ்யமாண: ஸுஸம்’வாத³ஸ்தத்ரத்யேப்⁴யோ லோகேப்⁴யோ விஸே²ஷதோ மாந்யேப்⁴யோ நரேப்⁴யோ மயா ந்யவேத்³யத|
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.
ததோ மம ஸஹசரஸ்தீதோ யத்³யபி யூநாநீய ஆஸீத் ததா²பி தஸ்ய த்வக்சே²தோ³(அ)ப்யாவஸ்²யகோ ந ப³பூ⁴வ|
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].
யதஸ்²ச²லேநாக³தா அஸ்மாந் தா³ஸாந் கர்த்தும் இச்ச²வ: கதிபயா பா⁴க்தப்⁴ராதர: க்²ரீஷ்டேந யீஸு²நாஸ்மப்⁴யம்’ த³த்தம்’ ஸ்வாதந்த்ர்யம் அநுஸந்தா⁴தும்’ சாரா இவ ஸமாஜம்’ ப்ராவிஸ²ந்|
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.
அத: ப்ரக்ரு’தே ஸுஸம்’வாதே³ யுஷ்மாகம் அதி⁴காரோ யத் திஷ்டே²த் தத³ர்த²ம்’ வயம்’ த³ண்டை³கமபி யாவத்³ ஆஜ்ஞாக்³ரஹணேந தேஷாம்’ வஸ்²யா நாப⁴வாம|
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.
பரந்து யே லோகா மாந்யாஸ்தே யே கேசித்³ ப⁴வேயுஸ்தாநஹம்’ ந க³ணயாமி யத ஈஸ்²வர: கஸ்யாபி மாநவஸ்ய பக்ஷபாதம்’ ந கரோதி, யே ச மாந்யாஸ்தே மாம்’ கிமபி நவீநம்’ நாஜ்ஞாபயந்|
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].
கிந்து சி²ந்நத்வசாம்’ மத்⁴யே ஸுஸம்’வாத³ப்ரசாரணஸ்ய பா⁴ர: பிதரி யதா² ஸமர்பிதஸ்ததை²வாச்சி²ந்நத்வசாம்’ மத்⁴யே ஸுஸம்’வாத³ப்ரசாரணஸ்ய பா⁴ரோ மயி ஸமர்பித இதி தை ர்பு³பு³தே⁴|
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.
யதஸ்²சி²ந்நத்வசாம்’ மத்⁴யே ப்ரேரிதத்வகர்ம்மணே யஸ்ய யா ஸ²க்தி: பிதரமாஸ்²ரிதவதீ தஸ்யைவ ஸா ஸ²க்தி ர்பி⁴ந்நஜாதீயாநாம்’ மத்⁴யே தஸ்மை கர்ம்மணே மாமப்யாஸ்²ரிதவதீ|
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].
அதோ மஹ்யம்’ த³த்தம் அநுக்³ரஹம்’ ப்ரதிஜ்ஞாய ஸ்தம்பா⁴ இவ க³ணிதா யே யாகூப்³ கைபா² யோஹந் சைதே ஸஹாயதாஸூசகம்’ த³க்ஷிணஹஸ்தக்³ரஹம்’ண விதா⁴ய மாம்’ ப³ர்ணப்³பா³ஞ்ச ஜக³து³: , யுவாம்’ பி⁴ந்நஜாதீயாநாம்’ ஸந்நிதி⁴ம்’ க³ச்ச²தம்’ வயம்’ சி²ந்நத்வசா ஸந்நிதி⁴ம்’ க³ச்சா²ம: ,
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.
கேவலம்’ த³ரித்³ரா யுவாப்⁴யாம்’ ஸ்மரணீயா இதி| அதஸ்ததே³வ கர்த்தும் அஹம்’ யதே ஸ்ம|
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.
அபரம் ஆந்தியகி²யாநக³ரம்’ பிதர ஆக³தே(அ)ஹம்’ தஸ்ய தோ³ஷித்வாத் ஸமக்ஷம்’ தம் அப⁴ர்த்ஸயம்’|
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].
யத: ஸ பூர்வ்வம் அந்யஜாதீயை: ஸார்த்³த⁴ம் ஆஹாரமகரோத் தத: பரம்’ யாகூப³: ஸமீபாத் கதிபயஜநேஷ்வாக³தேஷு ஸ சி²ந்நத்வங்மநுஷ்யேப்⁴யோ ப⁴யேந நிவ்ரு’த்ய ப்ரு’த²க்³ அப⁴வத்|
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]!
ததோ(அ)பரே ஸர்வ்வே யிஹூதி³நோ(அ)பி தேந ஸார்த்³த⁴ம்’ கபடாசாரம் அகுர்வ்வந் ப³ர்ணப்³பா³ அபி தேஷாம்’ காபட்யேந விபத²கா³ம்யப⁴வத்|
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]”
ததஸ்தே ப்ரக்ரு’தஸுஸம்’வாத³ரூபே ஸரலபதே² ந சரந்தீதி த்³ரு’ஷ்ட்வாஹம்’ ஸர்வ்வேஷாம்’ ஸாக்ஷாத் பிதரம் உக்தவாந் த்வம்’ யிஹூதீ³ ஸந் யதி³ யிஹூதி³மதம்’ விஹாய பி⁴ந்நஜாதீய இவாசரஸி தர்ஹி யிஹூதி³மதாசரணாய பி⁴ந்நஜாதீயாந் குத: ப்ரவர்த்தயஸி?
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].
ஆவாம்’ ஜந்மநா யிஹூதி³நௌ ப⁴வாவோ பி⁴ந்நஜாதீயௌ பாபிநௌ ந ப⁴வாவ:
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.
கிந்து வ்யவஸ்தா²பாலநேந மநுஷ்ய: ஸபுண்யோ ந ப⁴வதி கேவலம்’ யீஸௌ² க்²ரீஷ்டே யோ விஸ்²வாஸஸ்தேநைவ ஸபுண்யோ ப⁴வதீதி பு³த்³த்⁴வாவாமபி வ்யவஸ்தா²பாலநம்’ விநா கேவலம்’ க்²ரீஷ்டே விஸ்²வாஸேந புண்யப்ராப்தயே க்²ரீஷ்டே யீஸௌ² வ்யஸ்²வஸிவ யதோ வ்யவஸ்தா²பாலநேந கோ(அ)பி மாநவ: புண்யம்’ ப்ராப்தும்’ ந ஸ²க்நோதி|
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].
பரந்து யீஸு²நா புண்யப்ராப்தயே யதமாநாவப்யாவாம்’ யதி³ பாபிநௌ ப⁴வாவஸ்தர்ஹி கிம்’ வக்தவ்யம்’? க்²ரீஷ்ட: பாபஸ்ய பரிசாரக இதி? தந்ந ப⁴வது|
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].
மயா யத்³ ப⁴க்³நம்’ தத்³ யதி³ மயா புநர்நிர்ம்மீயதே தர்ஹி மயைவாத்மதோ³ஷ: ப்ரகாஸ்²யதே|
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.
அஹம்’ யத்³ ஈஸ்²வராய ஜீவாமி தத³ர்த²ம்’ வ்யவஸ்த²யா வ்யவஸ்தா²யை அம்ரியே|
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.
க்²ரீஷ்டேந ஸார்த்³த⁴ம்’ க்ருஸே² ஹதோ(அ)ஸ்மி ததா²பி ஜீவாமி கிந்த்வஹம்’ ஜீவாமீதி நஹி க்²ரீஷ்ட ஏவ மத³ந்த ர்ஜீவதி| ஸாம்ப்ரதம்’ ஸஸ²ரீரேண மயா யஜ்ஜீவிதம்’ தா⁴ர்ய்யதே தத் மம த³யாகாரிணி மத³ர்த²ம்’ ஸ்வீயப்ராணத்யாகி³நி சேஸ்²வரபுத்ரே விஸ்²வஸதா மயா தா⁴ர்ய்யதே|
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).
அஹமீஸ்²வரஸ்யாநுக்³ரஹம்’ நாவஜாநாமி யஸ்மாத்³ வ்யவஸ்த²யா யதி³ புண்யம்’ ப⁴வதி தர்ஹி க்²ரீஷ்டோ நிரர்த²கமம்ரியத|
