< Galatians 2 >
1 Fourteen years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
Asi paang baji lini ngah Barnabas damdi Jerusalem ni we ngaak wangtang, Taitaas nep nga damdi wang taha.
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.
Ngah suh Rangte ih ewang etheng ngeh dongbaat hangno wangtang. Ngah ih ruurangese tiit ah Ranglajatte loong suh baattang jengkhaap ah Mihak phokhoh loong damdi hotsu ih chomui angno choroong waantang. Nga mootkaat ehak dowa nyia belam molang rah lajen angsuh tah nook kang.
3 Yet even my companion, Titus, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised.
Nga jiiwah Taitaas, Grik ang abah uh heh khoopkhan banlam ah ekhan etheng ngeh talaat baatta,
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 —
marah marah ih heh suh khoopkhan banlam hoon thung ang rumta. Hanpiite likhiik diip ang rum ano nyia jengmi jengte diip ang rum ano seng dung ni roong nop rum taha, Jisu Kristo damdi seng pongwan ih tongli rah jat suh nop rum taha. Neng ih neng dah ih hoon suh thun tahe,
5 Why, we did not for a moment yield submission to them, that the Truth of the Good News might be yours always!
enoothong amiisak ruurangese tiit ah sen raangtaan ih thinsuh, neng suh erah nye suh saapoot amasah uh ekot muh.
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.
Enoothong neng ah lamsiitte likhiik diip ang rumla—ngah ih liihang neng loong ah hephopho ang rumla timdi uh tadan rumka; Rangte ih erah lamsiitte loong ah rangkhoh ah sok ano tah dande ka—ngah ih neng taangnawa ena mongtham ah choh muh.
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.
Erah thaknang ibah, neng ih sok rum tahang ngah suh Rangte ih Ranglajatte loong asuh ruurangese tiit ah baat suh mootkaat koh tahang ngeh ah, heh ih Pitar suh mootkaat kota ah likhiikkhiik Jehudi loong asuh ruurangese tiit ah baat raangtaan ih kota.
8 For he who gave Peter power for his mission to the Jews gave me, also, power to go to the Gentiles.
Rangte chaan aphaan nawa ibah ngah Ranglajatte loong raangtaan ih kaamwah jen hoonthuk halang, Pitar Jehudi loong raang ih kaamwah hoon thuk rumta likhiikkhiik ah.
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.
Phansiitte likhiik ang rumta Jeems, Pitar, eno Joon, loong ih ngah suh Rangte ih mootkaatse thoon koh tahang rah dongjat rumta; eno neng ih Barnabas seknyi suh lak ah pak eh tahe tih, lak pak ah langla seng loong ah mootkaat room mootte ngeh jat suh pak tahe tih. Seng thoontang tungwaan eti, sek Barnabas rah Ranglajatte loong damdoh moottheng eno neng rah Jehudi loong damdoh moottheng ngeh ah.
10 Only we were to remember the poor — the very thing I was myself anxious to do.
Neng ih li rumta seng dung dowa changthih ah dokthun etheng, eno ngah uh erah reeraang suh ju ramtang.
11 But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face; for he stood self-condemned.
Enoothong Pitar Entiok ni wang taha di, ngah ih Pitar ah midung ni choophaan tang, timnge liidih heh ah jatririh tah punta.
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.
Jeems ih kaatthuk rumta mina loong ah maang thokdi Pitar ih Ranglajatte hanpiite loong damdi phaksat ah ejen roong phaksat ih kata. Enoothong erah mih loong thok lidih bah heh ih Ranglajatte loong damdi phaksat lawe roong phak sah theng ih ngaakta. Timnge liidih, khoopkhan banlam ah ese ngeh liite loong ra choota.
13 The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.
Pitar damdi Jehudi hanpiite loong nep choophak likhiik ih reeraang suh phang noisok rumta; eno Barnabas nep uh neng damdi roongroop kata.
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?”
Neng loong ah amiisak ruurangese lam ni lah khoom rumka rah tup angno, ngah ih Pitar suh thoontang ngathong ni baattang, “Sen loong ah Jehudi ang abah uh Jehudi likhiik lah ang thang Ranglajatte likhiik mamah ih tonglan. Erah ang abah, Ranglajatte loong asuh Jehudi likhiik jaatjaat ih tongtheng ngeh jen baat nih eh an?”
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.
Seng loong ah tup tahe dowa ih Jehudi elang eli, “Ranglajatte rangdah mih loong” kah poon ah likhiik seng loong ah tah angke.
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.’
Ang abah uh seng ih ejat ehi Jisu Kristo suh laalom adoh ba Rangte damdoh jen pun eh ih, mabah uh Hootthe ih jamha jun ih tajen punke. Timnge liidih ngo uh Hootthe ih jamha jun ih moh abah Rangte damdoh epun tah angka.
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!
Erah ang abah Jisu damdoh roongtong jun ih seng ah Rangte damdoh epun angsuh chung ibah, seng ah uh Ranglajatte loong dala thanthan ih dah ih rah kapjoh hali—enoobah Kristo ah rangdah raangtaan ih mola ngeh tam liiha? Tah angka!
18 For, if I rebuild the very things that I pulled down, I prove myself to have done wrong.
Marah ngah ih jaakhoh ni thetsiit tang Hootthe ah mok we dongsiit ang bah, nga teewah Hootthe thetsiitte likhiik ih noisok hang.
19 I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.
Hootthe ni liiha jun ibah ngah etek choi—Hootthe rah ih tek haat ih halang—Rangte raangtaan ih thingtong suh ah. Ngah Kristo damdi heh bangphak adi eroong tekbot eh tahang,
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.
erah raangtaan ih nga teeteewah jen tonglang ngeh tajen li kang, enoothong Kristo ah nga sak ni tongla. Amadi nga roidong thingtong lang ah, Jisu Kristo Rangte Sah hanpi angno thingtong lang, heh ih minchan tahang nyia heh roidong ah nga raangtaan ih kota.
21 I do not reject the love of God. If righteousness comes through Law, then there was no need for Christ to die!
Rangte minchan ah ngah ih tah dut haat kang. Enoothong mina Hootthe jun ih Rangte damdoh ejen pun mok ih abah, Kristo tek ah thaangmuh ang ah!
