< Galatians 2 >
1 Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;
Again, from fourteen years I went up to Urishlem with Bar Naba, and took with me Titos.
2 and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;
But I went up by revelation; and I disclosed to them the gospel which I proclaim among the nations; and I showed it to those who were considered to be somewhat between myself and them, lest in vain I had run or should run.
3 but not even Titus, who [is] with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised —
Titos also who was with me, who was an Aramoya, was not constrained to be circumcised.
4 and [that] because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,
But on account of false brethren, who entered upon us that they might espy the liberty which we have in Jeshu Meshiha as that they might bring me into subjection;
5 to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.
yet not for the space of an hour did we cast ourselves down to be subject to them; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 And from those who were esteemed to be something — whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me — the face of man God accepteth not, for — to me those esteemed did add nothing,
But, they who were considered to be somewhat, ---but what they were I care not, for Aloha accepteth not men? s faces, ---they themselves added nothing unto me;
7 but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with [that] of the circumcision,
but otherwise: for seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Kipha was intrusted with the circumcision;
8 for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,
---for he who wrought effectually with Kipha for the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought effectually also with me for the apostleship of the Gentiles;
9 and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision [may go],
---and knowing the grace which had been given to me, Jakub and Kipha and Juchanon, who were considered to be pillars, the right hand of fellowship gave to me and to Bar Naba, that we (should preach) among the Gentiles, and they among the circumcision:
10 only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent — this very thing — to do.
only (requiring) that of the poor we should be mindful; and I have been solicitous to do this same thing.
11 And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,
But when Kipha had come to Antiokia, I rebuked him to his face, because they were offended by him.
12 for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,
For until certain men came from Jakub, he had eaten with the Gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew himself and separated, because he was afraid of those who were of the circumcision.
13 and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.
And the rest of the Jihudoyee also were thrown with him in this, so that Bar Naba also was led away by their partiality.
14 But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?
And when I saw that they were not walking rightly in the truth of the gospel, I said to Kipha in the presence of them all: If thou who art a Jihudoya live as an Aramoya and not Judaically, why forcest thou the Gentiles to live Judaically?
15 we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,
If we who by our nature are Jihudoyee, and are not of the Gentile sinners,
16 having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'
because we know that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jeshu Meshiha, also in him, in Jeshu Meshiha, have believed, that from the faith of the Meshiha we may be justified, and not from the works of the law; because from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified:
17 And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, [is] then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!
---If, while we seek to be justified through the Meshiha, we also ourselves are found sinners, is Jeshu Meshiha therefore the minister of sin? It cannot be.
18 for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;
For, if those things which I destroyed I build again, I make it manifest of myself that I transgress the commandment.
19 for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;
For I by the law to the law am dead, that unto Aloha I may live:
20 with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh — in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;
and with the Meshiha am I crucified, and from henceforth I live not, but in me liveth Meshiha; and this that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of Aloha, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness [be] through law — then Christ died in vain.
I do not deny the grace of Aloha; for if righteousness is by the law, the Meshiha died in vain!
