Agalatia 2
1 Mĩaka ikũmi na ĩna yathira nĩndambatire rĩngĩ Jerusalemu, na ihinda rĩĩrĩ tũgĩthiĩ hamwe na Baranaba o na tũgĩthiĩ na Tito.
Fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also 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.
But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain.
3 No o na Tito, ũrĩa warĩ hamwe na niĩ, ndaringĩrĩirio kũrua, o na gũtuĩka aarĩ Mũyunani.
But even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was not 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 brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 Tũtietĩkĩrire ũhoro wao o na hanini, nĩgeetha ma ya Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ĩtũũre na inyuĩ.
to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with 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 as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.
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, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of uncircumcision, as Peter was 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 wrought effectually in Peter as to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought effectually also in me as to the gentiles: )
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 knowing the grace which was given to me; James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars of the church, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the gentiles, 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 desiring that we would remember the poor: which I also was forward to do.
11 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Petero ookire Antiokia, nĩndamũkararirie mbere ya andũ tondũ nĩahĩtĩtie mũno.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was indeed to be blamed.
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 certain men came from James, he did eat with the gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the 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 rest of the Jews dissembled also with him; so that Barnabas too was carried away with their dissimulation.
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 walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, ---If thou, who art a Jew, livest sometimes after the manner of the gentiles, and not like the Jews, why dost thou now in a manner compel the gentiles to judaize?
15 “Ithuĩ arĩa tũciarĩtwo tũrĩ Ayahudi na tũtarĩ ehia ta andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ,
We, who are Jews by birth, and not sinners of the gentiles,
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.
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
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!
But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sin?
18 Angĩkorwo nĩ ngwaka rĩngĩ kĩrĩa ndaanangire-rĩ, nĩkuonania atĩ niĩ nĩnyunĩte watho.
God forbid. And if I build again the same things which I demolished, I shew myself a transgressor: for I through the law am dead to the law,
19 Nĩgũkorwo na ũndũ wa watho nĩndakuĩrĩire watho ũcio nĩguo ndũũre muoyo ndĩ wa Ngai.
that I might live unto 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 am crucified with Christ; yet I live, though no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave up 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 frustate the grace of God: for if righteousness be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
