Agalatia 2
1 Mĩaka ikũmi na ĩna yathira nĩndambatire rĩngĩ Jerusalemu, na ihinda rĩĩrĩ tũgĩthiĩ hamwe na Baranaba o na tũgĩthiĩ na Tito.
Then after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having also taken Titus with me;
2 Ndathiire tondũ Ngai nĩanguũrĩirie thiĩ kuo, na nĩguo ngataarĩrie atũmwo Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũrĩa hunjagĩria andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ. No ndataarĩirie o arĩa monekaga marĩ atongoria hatarĩ andũ angĩ, nĩgeetha gũtigatuĩke atĩ ihenya rĩrĩa ndatengʼeraga, o na kana rĩrĩa ndatengʼerete, rĩarĩ rĩa tũhũ.
and I went up by revelation, and submitted the good news to them that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest I ran or might run in vain;
3 No o na Tito, ũrĩa warĩ hamwe na niĩ, ndaringĩrĩirio kũrua, o na gũtuĩka aarĩ Mũyunani.
but not even Titus, who [is] with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised—
4 Ũhoro ũyũ wa kũrua wagĩire ho tondũ nĩ kwarĩ na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ a maheeni arĩa maatoonyete gatagatĩ gaitũ na hitho marĩ athigaani nĩguo matuĩrie ũhoro wa wĩyathi ũrĩa tũkoragwo naguo tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, makĩenda gũtũtua ngombo.
and [that] because of the false brothers brought in unaware, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us under bondage,
5 Tũtietĩkĩrire ũhoro wao o na hanini, nĩgeetha ma ya Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ĩtũũre na inyuĩ.
to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.
6 Nao andũ arĩa moonekaga taarĩ o anene-rĩ, (harĩ niĩ hatiarĩ na ũtiganu o ũrĩa mangĩakorirwo marĩ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai ndaroraga mũndũ ũrĩa ahaana) andũ acio gũtirĩ ũndũ moongereire harĩ ndũmĩrĩri yakwa.
And from those who were esteemed to be something—whatever they were then, it makes no difference to me. God does not accept the face of man, for to me those esteemed added nothing,
7 O na rĩrĩ, o nĩmoonire atĩ niĩ nĩndehokeirwo wĩra wa kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa Petero eehokeirwo wĩra wa kũhunjĩria Ayahudi.
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,
8 Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ũrĩa warutaga wĩra thĩinĩ wa ũtungata wa Petero arĩ mũtũmwo kũrĩ Ayahudi, nowe warutaga wĩra ũtungata-inĩ wakwa ndĩ mũtũmwo kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.
for He who worked with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, worked also in me in regard to the nations,
9 Ningĩ Jakubu, na Petero, na Johana, arĩa moonagwo marĩ itugĩ cia gũtiira kanitha-rĩ, nĩmatwamũkĩrire tũrĩ hamwe na Baranaba na guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa ngwatanĩro, rĩrĩa maamenyire wega wa Ngai ũrĩa ndaaheetwo. Nĩmetĩkĩrire atĩ ithuĩ tũthiĩ tũkahunjĩrie andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, nao mathiĩ kũrĩ Ayahudi.
and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, they gave to me a right hand of fellowship, and to Barnabas, that we may go to the nations, and they to the circumcision,
10 Ũndũ ũrĩa maatwĩrire twĩkage nĩ atĩ tũririkanage athĩĩni na noguo ũndũ ũrĩa niĩ mwene ndaarĩ na kĩyo gĩa gwĩka.
only, that we should be mindful of the poor, which I also was diligent—this very thing—to do.
11 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Petero ookire Antiokia, nĩndamũkararirie mbere ya andũ tondũ nĩahĩtĩtie mũno.
And when Peter came to Antioch, I stood up against him to the face, because he was blameworthy,
12 Andũ amwe moimĩte kũrĩ Jakubu matanakinya-rĩ, Petero nĩarĩĩanagĩra na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, no rĩrĩa maakinyire, akĩmeherera, na akĩĩamũrania na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ tondũ nĩetigagĩra andũ arĩa maarĩ a gĩkundi kĩa andũ arĩa maruaga.
for before the coming of some from James, he was eating with the nations, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of circumcision,
13 O na Ayahudi arĩa angĩ makĩnyiitanĩra na Petero ũhinga-inĩ wake, o nginya o na Baranaba akĩhĩtithio nĩ ũhinga ũcio wao.
and the other Jews acted hypocritically with him, so that Barnabas was also carried away by their hypocrisy.
14 Rĩrĩa ndonire atĩ matiekaga kũringana na ma ya Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, ngĩĩra Petero atĩrĩ, andũ othe makĩiguaga, “Angĩkorwo wee ũrĩ Mũyahudi, ũtũũraga na mĩtugo ya andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ na ti ta Mũyahudi-rĩ, ũngĩkĩhota atĩa kũhatĩrĩria andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ atĩ nĩguo marũmĩrĩre mĩtugo ya Ayahudi?
But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of the nations, and not in the manner of the Jews, how do you compel the nations to live like Jews?
15 “Ithuĩ arĩa tũciarĩtwo tũrĩ Ayahudi na tũtarĩ ehia ta andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ,
We by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,
16 nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ ndatuĩkaga mũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho, no atuĩkaga mũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Jesũ Kristũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na ithuĩ twĩtĩkĩtie Kristũ Jesũ nĩguo tũtuuo athingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Kristũ, no ti ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho, tondũ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatuuo mũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho.
having also known that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, but through faith from Jesus Christ, we also believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be declared righteous by faith from Christ, and not by works of law, because no flesh will be declared righteous by works of law.”
17 “Angĩgĩkorwo rĩrĩa tũgũcaria gũtuuo athingu nĩ Kristũ kuonanagia atĩ ithuĩ ene tũrĩ ehia-rĩ, ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩ Kristũ atungatagĩra mehia? Hĩ! Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!
And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we were also ourselves found sinners, [is] Christ then a servant of sin? Let it not be!
18 Angĩkorwo nĩ ngwaka rĩngĩ kĩrĩa ndaanangire-rĩ, nĩkuonania atĩ niĩ nĩnyunĩte watho.
For if the things I threw down, these again I build up, I set myself forth [as] a transgressor;
19 Nĩgũkorwo na ũndũ wa watho nĩndakuĩrĩire watho ũcio nĩguo ndũũre muoyo ndĩ wa Ngai.
for I died through law that I may live to God;
20 Niĩ nĩndĩkĩtie kwambanĩrio hamwe na Kristũ, na rĩu ti niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, no Kristũ nĩwe ũtũũraga muoyo thĩinĩ wakwa. Muoyo ũrĩa ndũũraga mwĩrĩ-inĩ ũyũ ndũũraga na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Mũrũ wa Ngai, ũrĩa wanyendire na akĩĩruta nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me; and that which I now live in the flesh—I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me;
21 Ndingĩĩtĩkĩra gũtua wega wa Ngai kĩndũ gĩa tũhũ, tondũ kũngĩtuĩka atĩ ũthingu wonekaga nĩ ũndũ wa watho-rĩ, Kristũ aakuire tũhũ!”
I do not make the grace of God void, for if righteousness [is] through law—then Christ died in vain.
