< Galatians 2 >
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Afume amaha kuminanne na bhabile habhili muYerusalemu peka nu Barnaba. Pia nahamwejihe u Tito nabhalile pipo Ungulubhi ayimanyisishye huline aje ihwanziwa imbale.
2 I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I proclaim amongst the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
Nahabhishile mwilongolela lyabhoizwi lye mlumbileye hubhantu abhinsi. (Lelo na yinje hwa hwifise yalolosya jobhalongozi kamili). Nabho mbile iishi aje imanye aje sinshimbila pamo senashimbiye lwene.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Lelo hata yu Tito, ahali peka nani, yahali mu yahali Muyunani, alazimisizwe atahiliwe.
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Messiah Yeshua, that they might bring us into bondage,
Ijambo ili lyahafumiye pipo ya holo abhilenga bhebhahinzile hufiso apelelezye uwabhushe wetulinawo mwa Kiristi Yesu. Bhanyonyilwe aje tibhe bhatumwa bhindajizyo.
5 to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
Setwa yifumizye hubhitishe hata hwi saa lyeka, huje izwi ilyilyoli lisyale bila agahuhake humwuyu.
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
Lelo bhala bhebhayangwilwe aje bhahali bhalongozi sebhasanjiye hohonti huline honti hebhobho mbaga seshali shi maana huline. Ungulubhi sahwitiha uupendeleo wa bhanadamu.
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
Pamandi bhahandola initihwilwe alumbilile izwi hubhala bhesaga bhatahililwe. Ihali ndeshe u Petro alumbilile izwi hwa bhalasaga bhatahililwe.
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
Ungulubhi yayibhombile imbombo muhati uwa Petro hwa tumwa bhebhatahililwe ahabhombile imbombo hati yani na mubhantu abha munsi.
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, Jacob and Kefa and Yochanan, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
Lula u Yakobo, nu Yohani, nu Kefa, bhaloleshe aje bhahazenjile ishibhanza, bhahaminye uwene wenapewilwe ani bhatiposhile hushibanza ani nu Barnaba. Bhahabhombilishi aje tibhale hubhantu abha munsi nkebhabhale hubhala bhebhatahiliwilwe.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Tena bhatwanzile ati hubhakumbushe apina nani wayonahasungwizye abhombe imbombo iyo.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
U Kefa na ahinza huAntiokia, nahankhanile waziwazi pipo ahakosiye.
12 For before some people came from Jacob, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
Kabla yi bhantu bhano afume hwa Yakobo na bhantu bhinsi. Lakini abhantu bhala ne bhahinza ahaleshile na sogole afume hwa bhantu abhinsi. Ahogopaga abhantu bhebha hwanza itohala.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Tena Abhayahudi bhamo bhaha bhwagana nubhunafiki peka nu Kefa. Amatoke gahaliishi hata yu Barnaba ahinjiye mubhunafiki uwo.
14 But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
Lakini lwenalolaje sebhalifwata ibhangili ilyi lyoli nahamuzizye u Kefa pamaso gabho bhonti amwe nke mwe Bhayahudi, mlinitabia zya bhantu bhi mataifa badala yi tabia zyi shiyahudi?”
15 “We, being Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
Ati twebhayahudi apapwe se bhantu bhi insi abhi mbibhi”
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Yeshua the Messiah, even we believed in Messiah Yeshua, that we might be justified by faith in Messiah and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
mmanye aje numo yabhaziwa ilyoli humatendo gisheria. Badala yakwe bhabhaziwa ilyoli muhati mwa Yesu Kilisti, twahonzile nulwitiho muhati mwa Yesu Kristu. Ili huje tibhaziwe ilyoli hulwitiho muhati mwa Yesu na siyo amatendo gi shelia. Humatendo gishelia nagumo umbili gwewayabhaziwa ilyoli.
17 But if while we sought to be justified in Messiah, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Messiah a servant of sin? Certainly not!
Lakini nike tihumwanza Ungulubhi atibhazizye ilyoli, muhati mwa Kilisti tiyilola tiniti aje tilini mbibhi, je uKilisti abhombilwe ntumwa wimbibhi? Seshi nisho!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Nkenazenga usubhilo gwani adime ishelia isubhuli lyenaluyu injilolesya nini aje imvunza ishelia.
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
Asilile musheha mfwiye mushelia kwahiyo uhwanziwa akhale munyobhe zya Ngulubhi.
20 I have been crucified with Messiah, and it is no longer I who live, but Messiah lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
Injimbihe peka nu Yesu. Senini habhili yikhala ila yu Yesu akhala muhati muline. Amaisha giakala aga mumbili inkhala hulwitiho. Muhati mwa Ngulubhi ya ngiine ani ahayifumya kwajili yaline.
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Messiah died for nothing!”
Tejelezya uweene wa Ngulubhi nkushele ilyoli yaliho ashilile nasi uYesu handi afwiye bure.
