Galatians 2
1 Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Payamasile yaka likumi ni ncheche, une ni che Banaba twajawile sooni ku Yelusalemu, twalongene ni che Tito.
2 I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.
Najawile kweleko pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵamunukulile kuti nyaule. Patwatemi nkungulu pamo ni achakulu pe, naasalile nkati Ngani Jambone jinalalichile ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Natesile yele kuti masengo gangu ganatesile, ni gangugapanganya sambano, ganaŵe gangalimate.
3 But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist upon even his being circumcised.
Nambo, namose ajangu che Tito, jwali Mgiliki, nganakanganichiswa kuumbala,
4 Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob us of it.
atamuno kwaliji ni ŵandu ŵaŵalitendaga ŵakukulupilila achinjetu ŵaŵasachile aumbale. Ŵandu ŵaŵalijinjisye kwa chisyepela ni kuuchilichisya kulecheleswa kwetu kutuli nako kwakulumbikana ni Kilisito Che Yesu, kuti atutende achikapolo.
5 But not for an hour did we give way and submit to them; in order that the Good News might continue with you in its integrity.
Nambo nganitusaka kwajitichisya namose kanandi, kuti usyene wa Ngani Jambone usigale ni ŵanyamwe katema kose.
6 From those leaders I gained nothing new. Whether they were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me--God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, the leaders imparted nothing new.
Nambo ŵandu ŵakutinji ali ilongola, iŵaga isyene ŵaliji ilongola pane ngaŵa ilongola, ngaŵa chindu kukwangu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakulamula kwa kulolechesya indu ya paasa, ŵandu wo nganakola indu yasambano yakunyonjechesya une.
7 Indeed, when they saw that I was entrusted with the preaching of the Good News to the Gentiles as Peter had been with that to the Jews--
Kwayele, ŵaimanyilile kuti Akunnungu ŵangulupilile kuti nalalichile Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi mpela iŵatite pakwakulupilila che Petulo kwalalichila Ŵayahudi.
8 for He who had been at work within Peter with a view to his Apostleship to the Jews had also been at work within me with a view to my Apostleship to the Gentiles--
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵantesile che Petulo kuŵa nduna kwa Ŵayahudi, ni jujojo jwandesile une nombe kuŵa nduna kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
9 and when they perceived the mission which was graciously entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) welcomed Barnabas and me to their fellowship on the understanding that we were to go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.
Nipele, che Yakobo, che Petulo ni che Yohana, ŵaŵaliji ilongola achakulu, paŵaimanyilile kuti Akunnungu ŵambele upile wa masengo ga jikajikape ga, ŵatukamwile uwe makono, une ni che Banaba, chiŵe chimanyisyo cha kuti tuli ŵamo. Uwe twajawile kupanganya masengo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ŵanyawo kwa Ŵayahudi.
10 Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.
Nambo ŵatuŵendile chindu chimo kuti, tukaaliŵalila ŵakulaga ŵaali mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu, chelecho none nachikamulichisye kuchitendekanya.
11 Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.
Nambo che Petulo paŵaiche ku Antiokia naakanile paujo pa ŵandu pakuŵa ŵaliji aleŵile.
12 For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party.
Kundanda, akanaiche ŵandu ŵampepe kutyochela ku che Yakobo, che Petulo ŵalyaga pamo ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Nambo paŵaiche pe, ŵalesile kulya ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ni kulisepusya nawo kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa ŵandu ŵaŵakanganichisye ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi aumbale.
13 And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness.
Nombe achinjangu Ŵayahudi ŵane ŵaliunjile pamo ni che Petulo kutendekanya ya ulamba, nombe che Banaba ŵajinjilwe ni ulamba wao.
14 As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?
Nipele, panaiweni kuti indu yakupanganya ngaikwilana ni usyene wa Ngani Jambone, nansalile che Petulo paujo pa ŵandu wose kuti, “Namuno mmwe nli Myahudi, nkutama mpela ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ngaŵa mpela Myahudi! Nipele nkukombola chinauli kulinga kwakanganichisya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kutama mpela Ŵayahudi?”
15 You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
Isyene, uwe tuli Ŵayahudi chipagwile, ni ngaŵa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaali ni sambi!
16 know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.
Isyene tukwimanyilila kuti ngaikukomboleka mundu kutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu, nambo kwa kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Noweji ŵakwe tumasile kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Tutendekwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi chetu kwa Kilisito, ni ngaŵa kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo. Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugakuya Malajisyo.
17 But if while we are seeking in Christ acquittal from guilt we ourselves are convicted of sin, Christ then encourages us to sin! No, indeed.
Sambano, iŵaga tukusosa kutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya kulumbikana ni Kilisito, uweji tukuŵalanjikwa kuti tuli ŵa sambi, uli, achi chitendo chikulosya kuti Kilisito akwatenda ŵandu apanganye sambi? Ngwamba!
18 Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;
Nambo iŵaga ngugumba sooni Malajisyo gunagagumwile, nipele nguti une ndili jwakuleŵa.
19 for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.
Malajisyo gandesile naimanyilile kuti ngusachilwa kuwa. Kwayele nawile kuti ndyoche mu ulamusi wa malajisyo go kuti ndame kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Akunnungu. None ŵambikwe pamo ni Kilisito pansalaba.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.
Sambano ngaŵa une sooni jungutama, nambo Kilisito ni ŵakutama nkati mwangu. Umi ungwete sambano mu chiilu, ngwete pakuŵa ngunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu, juŵanonyele une mpaka ŵautyosisye umi wao kwa ligongo lyangu.
21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain."
Ngangusaka kuukana upile wa Akunnungu. Iŵaga mundu akutendekwa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kugajitichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu, nipele, chiwa cha Kilisito changalimate!
