Galasi 2
1 Answit, apre yon espas katòz ane mwen te monte ankò Jérusalem avèk Barnabas, e mwen te pran Tite osi.
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.
2 Se te akoz yon revelasyon ke mwen te monte a. Epi konsa, mwen te soumèt devan yo menm levanjil ke mwen preche pami pèp etranje yo. Men mwen te fè sa an prive a sila ki te gen repitasyon yo, pou lakrent ke mwen ta ka petèt kouri, oubyen te kouri anven.
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 Men pa menm Tite ki te avèk mwen an, malgre li te yon Grèk, pa t oblije sikonsi.
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 Men se te akoz de fo frè yo ki te antre an kachèt pou espyone libète ke nou gen nan Kris Jésus a, pou yo ta ka mennen nou nan esklavaj.
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 Men nou pa t soumèt a yo menm pandan menm yon moman, pou verite levanjil la ta kapab rete avèk nou tout.
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 Men de sila ki te gen gwo repitasyon yo—sa yo te ye pa gen enpòtans pou mwen; Bondye pa nan patipri—byen, sila ki te gen repitasyon yo pa t ogmante anyen anplis pou mwen.
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person: ) for they who seemed [to be somewhat] in conference added nothing to me:
7 Men okontrè, yo te wè ke levanjil la te konfye a mwen menm pou ensikonsi yo, menm jan ke li te konfye a Pierre pou sikonsi yo.
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter;
8 Paske Sila ki te an reyalite travay atravè Pierre kòm apot pou sikonsi yo, te an reyalite travay atravè mwen menm tou anvè pèp etranje yo.
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles: )
9 Konsa, ak rekonesans gras ke m te resevwa, Jacques, Céphas, ak Jean, ki te gen repitasyon kòm pilye lafwa yo, te ban mwen ak Barnabas lamen dwat dasosiyasyon, pou nou te kapab ale kote pèp etranje yo e yo menm kote sikonsi yo.
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10 Yo te sèlman mande nou pou nou sonje pòv yo bagay ke mwen te vrèman vle fè.
Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11 Men lè Céphas te vini Antioche, mwen te opoze a li menm nan toudwat devan l, paske li te rete kondane.
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 Paske avan moun a Jacques yo te vini, li te konn manje avèk pèp etranje yo. Men lè yo te vini, li te kòmanse fè bak pou rete a leka, akoz lakrent pati sikonsizyon an.
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 Rès Jwif yo te vin jwenn avè l nan ipokrizi a, avèk rezilta ke menm Barnabas te pote ale pa ipokrizi yo a.
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 Men lè mwen te wè ke yo pa t mache dwat selon verite levanjil la, mwen te di a Céphas nan prezans a tout moun: “Si ou menm, kòm yon Jwif, viv kon pèp etranje yo e pa tankou Jwif, kòman ou ka fòse pèp etranje yo viv tankou Jwif?
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 Nou menm ki se Jwif pa lanati e pa pechè ki sòti pami pèp etranje yo,
We [who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 sepandan, nou konnen ke yon nonm pa jistifye pa zèv Lalwa, men atravè lafwa an Kris Jésus a, nou menm kwè nan Kris Jésus a, pou nou kapab jistifye pa lafwa an Kris, e non pa zèv Lalwa, paske pa zèv Lalwa yo, okenn chè p ap jistifye.
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 Men si, pandan n ap chache jistifye nan Kris, nou menm osi jwenn nou kòm pechè, èske konsa Kris se yon sèvitè a peche? Ke sa pa janm fèt!
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 Paske si mwen rebati sa ke, yon fwa, mwen te detwi a, mwen pwouve a tèt mwen ke mwen se yon transgresè.
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 Paske selon Lalwa a mwen te mouri a Lalwa a, pou mwen te kapab viv a Bondye.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 Mwen te krisifye avèk Kris, epi se pa plis Mwen ki viv, men Kris viv nan mwen. Konsa, lavi ke m viv koulye a nan lachè, mwen viv pa lafwa nan Fis a Lòm nan, ki te renmen mwen e ki te bay tèt li pou mwen.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 Mwen pa anile lagras Bondye, paske si ladwati vini selon Lalwa a, alò, Kris te mouri san rezon.”
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
