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.
Badala ya miaka kumi na nne nalotili kabhele Yerusalem pamonga ni Barnaba. Kabhele nan'tolili ni Tito pamonga ni nene.
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.
Nalotili ndabha ya K'yara ajidhihirishi kwa nene ya kuwa ni paswa kulota. Nabhekili palongolo pa bhene injili yanatangasi kwa bhanu bha mataifa. (Lakini nalongilili kwa kufigha kwa bhabhisemekana fiongozi bhamana). Naketili naa ili kuhakikisya ndabha nakembhelai hee, au nakembili mebhwa.
3 But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist upon even his being circumcised.
Ni kabhele Tito, yaayele pamonga ni nene, yaayele Myunani, alasimisibhu kutailibhwa.
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.
Lijambo ele lahomili kwa ndabha ya bhalongo bhaudesi bhabhahidili kwa siri kupeleleza uhuru wa tuyenabhu kup'etela Kristu Yesu. Bhatamene kutuketa tete tuyelai bhatumwa bha Sheria.
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.
Tajipisili lepi kubhatii hata kwa lisaa limonga, ya ndabha injili ya ukueli ibakilai bila kubadilisya kwa muenga.
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.
Ila bhala bhabhajobhibhu ya kuwa ndo fiongozi bhachangili lepi kyoa kela kwa nene. Kyoakela kayayele bhakifu ketai kayelepi kya. maana kwa nene. K'yara hakubali upendeleo wa bhanadamu.
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--
Badala yaki, bhabhuene ya kuwa niaminibhu kutangasya injili kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu lepi. Yayele Katya Petro atangasyai injili kwa bhabhatailibhu.
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--
Kwa ndabha K'yara, yaafwanyili mbhombho mugati mwa Petro kwajia ya utume kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu, kabhele aketili mbhombho mugati mwa nene kwa bhanu bha mataifa.
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.
Wati Yakobo, kefa, ni Yohana, ndo bhatambuliki ya kuwa bhajengili likanisa, bhamanyili neema ya napelibhu nene bhatupokili kup'etela ushirika nene ni Baketili naa ili ya ndabha tubhoki kwa bhanu bha mataifa, ni kabhele bha bhwesyai kulota kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu.
10 Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.
Kabhele bhatulondai tete kubhakombhoka masikini. Nene kabhele nayele natamaniayi kuketa lijambo ele.
11 Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.
Wakati kefa paahidili Antiokia, na mphengili bhuasi bhuasi yandabha ayele akosili.
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.
Kabula ya bhanu kuzaa kuhida kuhomela kwa Yakobo, kefa ayele kulya pamonga ni bhanu bhamataifa. Ila bhanu abha bhabhahidili, alekili ni kubhoka kuhomela kwa bhanu bha mataifa. Ayele atilai bhanu bha bhilonda tohara.
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.
Vilevile bhayahudi bhamana bhauengene ni unafiki obho pamonga ni kefa. Matokeo ghaki ghayele ni Barnaba atolibhu ni unafiki wa bhene.
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?
Panabhona yakuwa bhayelelepi kufuata injili ya ukueli, namjobhili kefa palongolo pa bhoa, “Katya muenga ndo bhayaudi ila mwiishi ni tabia sa bhanu bha mataifa badala ya tabia sa kiyaudi, kwa ndayakiki mkabhalasimisya bhanu bhamataifa kuishi katya bhayaudi?”
15 You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
Tete ambabho ndo bhayaudi bhakuhogoleka na siyo “Bhanu bhamataifa bhenye thambi”
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.
Manyai kujo ayelepi yaihesabibhwa haki kwa matendo gha Sheria. Badala yaki, bhihesabhwa haki kwa imani mugati mwa Yesu Kristu. Twahidili kwa imani mugati mwa Kristu Yesu ili yandabha tihesabibwa haki kwa imani mugati mwa Kristu na lepi kwa matendo gha Sheria. Kwa matendo ya sheria uyelepi mbhele waubhwanili kuhesabibhwa katya haki.
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.
Katya tukandonda K'yara wa kutuhesabila haki mugati mwa Kristu, tukajikolela tayhoto kabhele ndo bhenye thambi, je Kristu aketibhu n'tumwa wa thambi? Wala naa hee!
18 Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;
Maana katya ni kajengai tegemeo la nene juu ya kutunza sheria, litegemelo ambalo namalili kulibhosya, nikajilasya nayhoni Kujo mvunja sheria.
19 for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.
Kup'etela sheria nafuili mu sheria, kwa ele nipaswa kuishi kwajia ya K'yara.
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.
Nisulubibhu pamonga ni Kristu. So nene kabhele yakaniishi, Bali Kristu aaiishi mugati mwa nene. Maisha ghaniishi kup'etela mbhele niishi kwa imani mugati mwa muana wa K'yara yaa niganili ni kujitolela kwajia ya nene.
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."
Nikaikana hee neema ya K'yara, maana katya haki yayayele kup'etela sheria, basi Kristu ngaayele afuili mebhwa.
