Galatians 2
1 Fourteen years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
Imiakha kumi na nne nalutile khavili khu Yelusalemu paninie nu Barnaba. Nitolile uTito paninye nune.
2 It was in obedience to a revelation that I went; and I laid before the Apostles the Good News that I am proclaiming among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those who are thought highly of, for fear that I might possibly be taking, or might have already taken, a course which would prove useless.
Nikhalutile pakhuva uNguluve aevonisie khuliune ukhuta ni khanogiwa ukhuluta. Navikhile khuvulongolo ilimenyu avapanji nachoviwaga avalongochi navombile ewo ukhuhakekesia ukhuta saninyila au nikhanyilile vuvule.
3 Yet even my companion, Titus, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised.
Vope u Tito, uviakhale paninie nune, uviakhale Myunani, andasimiswa ukhutahiliwa.
4 But, on account of the false Brothers who had stolen in, the men who had crept in to spy upon the liberty which we have through union with Christ Jesus, in order to bring us back to slavery —
Ilijambo ili ukhahumile mkhekolo ikia vudesi vainchile khusile khupelelesia uvu huru uvutwale nao mgati mwa Yesu Klisite. Vanogilwe ukhutuveka pasi pa ndagelo.
5 Why, we did not for a moment yield submission to them, that the Truth of the Good News might be yours always!
Satukhihumia ukhuva pulikha khusekhi gumo ukhuta ilimenyu lya lueli lisigale lijige vulevule lisite ukhubadelekha khuliumwe.
6 Of those who are thought somewhat highly of — what they once were makes no difference to me; God does not recognise human distinctions — those, I say, who are thought highly of added nothing to my Message.
Vala ava choviwe ukhuta vakhale valongonchi savanchagele khikhioni khuliune. Nkhinkhoni ekheva likhuvomba sakhi khale ne mana khuliane. UNguluve sinkhuikha uvupelelo wa vanu.
7 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the Gentiles, just as Peter had been for the Jews.
Vakha mbona ukhuta niaminiwe ukhulumbelela ilimenyu khuvala awa savalanchiwe. Ekhava ndu uPetro alumbilile ilimenyu khuvala avavalanchiwe.
8 For he who gave Peter power for his mission to the Jews gave me, also, power to go to the Gentiles.
Ulwakhuva uNguluve, avombile embombo mgati mwa Petro savuli ya vuvanda nkhuvala avavalanche, nkhange avombile imbombo mugati mundiune khuvanu avapanchi.
9 Recognising the charge entrusted to me, James, Peter, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the Church, openly acknowledged Barnabas and me as fellow-workers, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.
Usinkhi uYakobo, u Kefa, nu Yohana, vamanyikhikhi ukhuta vancheengile itembile, valumanyile ulukhungu une, vatupokhile mugati mululundamano une nu Barnaba. Vagakhile ewo ukhuta putulutage khuvanu avapanchi avava chiwe.
10 Only we were to remember the poor — the very thing I was myself anxious to do.
Vatunogilwe ufue ukhuvakumbukha avatolwe. Une na yune nilikhunogwa ukhuvomba embombo iye.
11 But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face; for he stood self-condemned.
Usikhi Kefa avilenchile Antiokia, nakiline inave pavuvalafu ulwakhuva ale intula nongwa.
12 Before certain persons came from James, he had been in the habit of eating with the Gentile converts; but, when they came, he began to withdraw and hold aloof, for fear of offending those who still held to circumcision.
Badala ya vanu avadebe ukhuitsa ukhuhuma kua Yakobo, Kefa alikuva ilya paninie na vapanchi. Ingave avanu avavile vinchile alekhine ukhukhega ukhuma khu vanu avapanji. Akhava idwada avanu avano guaga indagelo.
13 The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.
Vulevule Avayuta avange valungine nuvusongerenie uvu paninie nu Kefa. Pulikha humela leno Barnaba atoliwe nuvusongerehani wa vene.
14 But, when I saw that they were not dealing straightforwardly with the Truth of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, “If you, who were born a Jew, adopt Gentile customs, instead of Jewish, why are you trying to compel the Gentile converts to adopt Jewish customs?”
Uluava nelolile ukhuta valekhuva savikonga elivangeliilwa lweli, niambulile uKefa pamiho ga vene voni, “Ingave umwe mule Vayahudi mbona imitamilo gevile gya lugevaanu avapanchi ukutama nda vanu avayuta?”
15 We, though we are Jews by birth and not outcasts of Gentile origin, know that no one is pronounced righteous as the result of obedience to Law, but only through faith in Christ Jesus.
Ufwe yufwe tuli Vayahudi tuhaliwe satuli “Vanu va panzi avale mbivi”
16 So we placed our faith in Christ Jesus, in order that we might be pronounced righteous, as the result of faith in Christ, and not of obedience to Law; for such obedience ‘will not result in even one soul’s being pronounced righteous.’
ulumanye ukhuta asikhuli uviivalilwa ale pavuye lweli pa mbombo ncha ndagelo. Pulino vivaliwa uwayelweli mulwidekho igati mwa Yesu Klisite. Tukhinchile khu luedekho mgati mwa Klisite Yesu ukhuta tuvaleliwa uvuyelweli mugati mwa Klisite pasita khuvaliwa ni mbombo khu mivombelo gusikhuli umbili, ugukhi guvaliwa uwa yelweli.
17 If, while seeking to be pronounced righteous through union with Christ, we were ourselves seen to be outcasts, would that make Christ an agent of sin? Heaven forbid!
Pulino tungave tukhundanda uNguluve khwa khutu valela inonu mugati mwa Klisite, tukhevona yufwe ukhuta tulini mbivi Klisite awekhiwe isuhiwa wa mbivi? Ate!
18 For, if I rebuild the very things that I pulled down, I prove myself to have done wrong.
Ningave nivikha uluhuvelo luango ukhutuncha indagelo, ikhinu ikhi namalile ukhukhencha, nikhivonesya yune ukhuta nivomba imbivi.
19 I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.
Ukhukhuma khululagelo nikhafua khululagelo, lino ninogiwa ukhutama nu Nguluve.
20 I have been crucified with Christ. So it is no longer I that live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and, as for my present earthly life, I am living it by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Nitasiwa paninye nu Yesu sio une leno, yune nitama uKlisite. Viitama mnumbula yango. Amaisha ugunitama mu mbili nitama nulwidikho munumbula ya umwana va uNguluve, uvanganile akhihumia khu njela yango une.
21 I do not reject the love of God. If righteousness comes through Law, then there was no need for Christ to die!
Sanibela ulukhungu lwa uNguluve, ulugano lwa lenkho, ukhuhumila ingave ilweli yekhale puile ukhumila Klisite vuapule.
