Galatians 2
1 And sith fourtene yeer aftir, eftsones Y wente vp to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took with me Tite.
十四年之后，我与巴拿巴一起返回耶路撒冷，还带上提多与我同行。
2 Y wente vp bi reuelacioun, and spak with hem the euangelie, which Y preche among the hethene; and bi hem silf to these that semeden to be sumwhat, lest Y runne, or hadde runne in veyne.
我去那里是顺应上帝的启示。在那里，我私下与有声望的教会领袖见面，解释我向异族人所传的福音。我不希望自己追随并为之奋斗的一切付诸东流。
3 And nother Tite, that hadde be with me, while he was hethene, was compellid to be circumsidid;
但事实证明，尽管与我一起的提多是希腊人，并没有人坚持他应该接受割礼。
4 but for false britheren that weren brouyt ynne, whiche hadden entrid to aspie oure fredom, which we han in Jhesu Crist, to bring vs in to seruage.
（之所以会出现这个问题，是因为一些假基督徒偷偷溜进来，窥探我们与基督耶稣同在所获得的自由，试图让我们成为奴隶。
5 But we yyue no place to subieccioun, that the treuthe of the gospel schulde dwelle with you.
我们绝不屈服于他们，哪怕只是片刻。我们想确保为你们守住这福音的真相。）
6 But of these that semeden to be sumwhat; whiche thei weren sum tyme, it perteyneth not to me, for God takith not the persoone of man; for thei that semeden to be sumwhat, yauen me no thing.
但我并不想在此谈论那些被视为重要的人物。（我不关心他们是什么样的领袖，因为上帝不会像我们那样判断人。）
7 But ayenward, whanne thei hadden seyn, that the euangelie of prepucie was youun to me, as the euangelie of circumcisioun was youun to Petre;
相反，一旦他们意识到，我被赋予与异族人分享福音的责任，就像彼得被赋予与犹太人分享福音的责任，
8 for he that wrouyte to Petre in apostlehed of circumcisioun, wrouyte also to me among the hethene;
（这责任都来自于上帝，他通过彼得为使徒向犹太人传递福音，通过我为使徒向异族人传递福音），
9 and whanne thei hadden knowe the grace of God, that was youun to me, James, and Petre, and Joon, whiche weren seyn to be the pileris, thei yauen riythond of felowschip to me and to Barnabas, that we among the hethene, and thei in to circumcisioun;
当他们意识到，我以及雅各、彼得和约翰都获得了恩典，承担了教会领导的职责，于是就握住我和巴拿巴的右手，表示接纳我们作为他们的一员。
10 oneli that we hadde mynde of pore men `of Crist, the which thing Y was ful bisi to doon.
我们将为异族人工作，他们将为犹太人工作。他们唯一的指示就是记住要去照顾穷人，事实上我已经在努力这样做。
11 But whanne Petre was comun to Antioche, Y ayenstood hym in the face, for he was worthi to be vndirnommen.
然而，当彼得来到安提阿时，我不得不直接批评他，因为很显然他的行为是错误的。
12 For bifor that ther camen summen fro James, he eete with the hethene men; but whanne thei weren comun, he withdrowy, and departide hym, dredinge hem that weren of circumcisioun.
在雅各的一些朋友来之前，彼得经常与异族人一起用餐。但是当这些人到来之后，他就不再这样做了，并且远离了异族人。他害怕那些坚持认为男人必须割礼的人批评他。
13 And the othere Jewis assentiden to his feynyng, so that Barnabas was drawun of hem in to that feynyng.
和彼得一样，其他犹太基督徒也开始装假，甚至连巴拿巴也受了影响，跟着他们一起装假。
14 But whanne Y sawy, that thei walkiden not riytli to the treuthe of the gospel, Y seide to Petre bifor alle men, If thou, that art a Jew, lyuest hethenlich, and not Jewelich, hou constreynest thou hethene men to bicome Jewis?
我意识到他们并没有坚守福音的真相，于是就在所有人面前对彼得说：“如果你是犹太人，却像异族人而非犹太人那样生活，为什么要强迫异族人像犹太人一样生活？
15 We Jewis of kynde, and not synful men of the hethene,
我们可能生来就是犹太人，而不是像异族人那样的‘罪人’，
16 knowen that a man is not iustified of the werkis of lawe, but bi the feith of Jhesu Crist; and we bileuen in Jhesu Crist, that we ben iustified of the feith of Crist, and not of the werkis of lawe. Wherfor of the werkis of lawe ech fleisch schal not be iustified.
但我们知道，任何人都不能通过遵守律法而被视为正直善良，只有通过相信耶稣基督才可以。我们已经相信基督耶稣，因此我们可以通过相信基督而非遵循律法成为正直善良之人，没有人通过遵守律法要求做到正直良善。”
17 And if we sechen to be iustified in Crist, we oure silf ben foundun synful men, whether Crist be mynystre of synne?
正因为如此，如果我们希望在基督那里成为正义之人，但却自证为罪人，难道这意味着基督服务于罪？当然不是！
18 God forbede. And if Y bylde ayen thingis that Y haue distruyed, Y make my silf a trespassour.
因为如果我要重建被自己摧毁的东西，这只能证明我在违背律法。
19 For bi the lawe Y am deed to the lawe, and Y am fitchid to the crosse, that Y lyue to God with Crist.
通过律法，我因律法而死，这是为了上帝而活。
20 And now lyue not Y, but Crist lyueth in me. But that Y lyue now in fleisch, Y lyue in the feith of Goddis sone, that louede me, and yaf hym silf for me.
我已经与基督一起钉上十字架，所以活着的人不再是我，而是基督活在我的身体里。我在这个身体中拥有的生命，是因为信那爱我、且为我舍弃自己的上帝之子。
21 Y caste not awey the grace of God; for if riytwisnesse be thoruy lawe, thanne Crist diede with out cause.
我怎么能拒绝上帝的恩典？如果我们可以通过遵守律法而成为正直善良之人，那么基督之死就毫无意义！
