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.
Pepepita zaka fotini neluta soti ku Yerusalemu na Banaba, netola Tito noluta naye.
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.
Neluta kamba ka civumbuluso nakuleta kwabeve ulaliki unulalika pakati pa amitundu. Nenzo kamba mwakabisila kwabala benzo oneka olemekeza, kuti nionesheshe kuti nuutuka lini lubilo lwatyala.
3 But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist upon even his being circumcised.
Koma ngakhale Tito, enze naneo ndipo enze Mugiliki, aliye kangamijyiwa kucita mudulidwe.
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.
Madoda yaboza mwacisinsi bewela kuzoona mtendele utilinao mwa Kristu Yesu. Benzo laka laka kuti tinkhale akapolo,
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.
koma tiliyegonjele kwabeve olo pakanthawi katontho, kuti coonadi ca uthenga cikhalilile mwa mweo.
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.
Koma ao benze oneka ngati olemekezeka (mulimonse mwebenzelili aliye kanthu kwa neo, cifukwa Mulungu aliye sankho)- ao, binikuti, enzeolemekezeka aliye onjezele kanthu kwa neo.
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--
Mosiyana, beona kuti nepasiwa udindo kulalikila uthenga kwaopanda mudulidwe, monga Petulo epasiwa udindo olalikila uthenga kwa amudulidwe.
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--
Pakuti Mulungu, esebenza mwa Petulo potumikila kwa ao oduliwa, soti asebenza mwa neo kwa amitundu.
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.
Pamene Jemusi, Kefasi, na Yohane, enze na mbili ngati sandamila, pebezindikila cisomo cenze pa neo etilola
10 Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.
11 Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.
Lyahanu linu Kefasi henza kwa Antioke, Chi ni mu kanina havusu bwe mpaata ya kwe kakuti ava foseze.
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.
Chetanzi vamwi vakwame ni va seni ku sika kwa Jakovo, Kefasi avali kulya ni va Machava. Kono cwale ava vakwame ha va keza, cha zimana mi ni kuva vutavuleni ni va Machava. Cha vali ku tite ava vakwame va vali kusaka mupato.
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.
Mane ni vungi bya Majuda ni va kopana ne Kefasi mu kulinyemona. Ikalavo ivaali kuti nanga Barabasi chava yembulwilwe ku linuneka kwaavo.
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?
Kono hani vona kuti ka ve chilile vusakusima bye linzwi, ni na waamba ne Kefasi ha vusu byaavo voonse, “Haiva mu Vajuda mi ni mu hala che ikute lya vantu va Lichava vulyo kwaanda a ikute lya Vajuda, mu woola ku hambiliza vule va Lichava kuhala ili Vajuda?
15 You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
Iswe tu maJuda cha ku pepya mi yisini “ve Lichava va tenda ziivi”
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.
mwi zive kuti ka kwina na ngati wu mwina yeta njolozwe cha musevezi wa mulawo. Ni hakuvavulyo, va njolozwa che tumelo ya Jesu Kereste. Tu vakezi che tumelo kwa Jesu Kereste cwale kuti tu njolozwe che tumelo kwa Kereste mi yi sinyi cha musevezi wa mulawo kakwina nyama ye te ni njolozwe.
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.
Kono heva, ni tusaka Reeza kuti atu njoloze ka Kereste, tu liwane na swe tu veene kuti tu va yenzalivi, kana Kereste u swanela ku va mutanga we chiivi? Sanzi ku ve vulyo!
18 Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;
Heva ni zaaka isempo yangu cha kuya cha mulawo, Isempo ichini va sinyi kaale, ni livonahaza kuti ni mucholi wa mulawo.
19 for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.
Ku zwila ku mulawo ni va fwi ku mulawo, ili kuti ni haale che Ireeza.
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.
Ni va konkotelwa vulyo ni Kereste. Kayisili me ni haala kono Kereste njo haala kwangu. Vuhalo vuni haala linu mwi nyama ni vuhala che tumelo ya Mwana Reeza, Uzo ya va ni suni ni kuliha yiye mwine kwangu.
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."
Ke se ni manise chisemo che Reeza, chokuti heva va lukite vavali kuhala mulawo, linu Kereste ni ku sena za va fwili.
