Ndị Galeshịa 2
1 Mgbe afọ iri na anọ gasịrị, ejeghachiri m Jerusalem ọzọ. Mụ na Banabas laghachiri Jerusalem, akpọkwara m Taịtọs jee.
Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2 Agara m nʼihi mkpughe m nwere. Na nzukọ nzuzo nke m na ndị ndu nwere, akọwaara m ha ihe banyere oziọma nke m na-ekwusa nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ. Nʼihi na-achọghị m ka ọrụ niile m rụrụ nʼoge gara aga, na ọrụ m na-arụ ugbu a, bụrụ ihe efu.
And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.
3 Ọ bụladị Taịtọs onye mụ na ya so, o nweghị onye manyere ya ka e bie ya ugwu nʼagbanyeghị na ọ bụ onye Griik.
But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 Ndị ahụ na-abụghị ndị kwere ekwe nʼezie e zobatara na nzukọ inyochapụta otu anyị si nwere onwe anyị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, ka ha nwee ike mee anyị ndị ohu.
and that because of the false brethren privily 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 Ma o nweghị oge anyị ji gee ntị nʼihe ha kwuru, nʼihi na anyị chọrọ ichedo eziokwu ahụ dị nʼoziọma ka a ghara ịgwa ya ihe ọbụla nʼetiti unu.
to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 Banyere ndị a na-ewe ka ndị dị ndu dị mkpa, ihe ọbụla ọnọdụ ha bụ ewetaghị mgbanwe ọbụla nʼebe m nọ, nʼihi na Chineke adịghị ele mmadụ anya nʼihu. Ndị ahụ atụkwasịghị ihe ọbụla nʼoziọma m na-ezisa.
But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man’s person)—they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:
7 Ma nʼaka nke ọzọ, mgbe ha hụrụ na e nyere m ọrụ izisa oziọma nʼetiti ndị e bighị ugwu, dịka e nyere Pita izisa oziọma nʼetiti ndị e biri ugwu.
but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with [the gospel] of the circumcision
8 Nʼihi na Chineke onye si nʼaka Pita na-arụ ọrụ onyeozi oziọma nʼetiti ndị e biri ugwu, sikwa nʼime m na-arụ ọrụ onyeozi izisara ndị mba ọzọ oziọma.
(for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);
9 Mgbe Jemis, Sefas na Jọn ndị a maara dị ka ide ji ụlọ nʼetiti ndị ndu ahụ niile nara m na Banabas aka nnwekọ, nabatakwa amara e nyere m. Ha gbara anyị ume, sị anyị gaa nʼihu nʼọrụ anyị, ikwusa oziọma nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ, ka ha onwe ha kwa gaa nʼihu ịrụ ọrụ nke ha nʼetiti ndị e biri ugwu.
and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision;
10 Ọ bụ naanị otu ihe ka ha rịọrọ anyị, nke bụ ka anyị cheta ndị ogbenye. Nke a bụkwa ihe m na-achọsi ike ime.
only [they would] that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
11 Ma mgbe Sefas bịaruru Antiọk, eguzogidere m ya nʼihu ya, nʼihi na ihe o mere mara ya ikpe.
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.
12 Tupu ndị Jemis zitere abịaruo ebe ahụ, ya na ndị mba ọzọ na-erikọ nri, ma mgbe ha rutere, ọ wepụrụ aka na nri laghachi azụ nʼihi na egwu ndị e biri ugwu na-atụ ya.
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision.
13 Ndị Juu ụfọdụ sonyekwara ya inwe ihu abụọ a, nke mere na e si otu a duhiekwa Banabas nʼonwe ya.
And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 Ma mgbe m hụrụ na ha adịghị eme ihe dị ka eziokwu nke oziọma ahụ si dị, agwara m Sefas okwu nʼihu ha niile, sị, “Ọ bụrụ na gị nwa onye Juu na-ebi ndụ dịka onye mba ọzọ, na-abụghị dịka onye Juu, olee otu ị ga-esi manye ndị mba ọzọ ka ha na-ebi ndụ dịka ndị Juu?”
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 Anyị onwe anyị bụ ndị Juu site nʼọmụmụ a mụrụ anyị, anyị abụkwaghị ndị mba ọzọ ndị mmehie,
We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 ma anyị maara na a dịghị agụ mmadụ ọbụla dị ka onye ezi omume site nʼọrụ nke iwu kama ọ bụ naanị site nʼokwukwe na Jisọs Kraịst. Ọ bụ nke a mere anyị ji kwere na Jisọs Kraịst ka a gụọ anyị na ndị ezi omume, site nʼokwukwe anyị kwere na Kraịst, ọ bụghị nʼihi na anyị rụrụ ọrụ nke iwu. Nʼihi na o nweghị onye ọbụla a ga-agụnye ka onye ezi omume nʼihi na ọ rụrụ ọrụ nke iwu.
yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, save through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 Ma ọ bụrụ, na mgbe anyị na-achọ ka a gụọ anyị dị ka ndị ezi omume nʼime Kraịst, anyị onwe anyị a bụrụ ndị achọpụtara dịka ndị mmehie. Nke a, ọ pụtara na Kraịst na-akwado mmehie? Mba!
But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.
18 Kama, ọ bụrụ na m ewugharịa ihe ndị ahụ m buru ụzọ mebie, ana m egosi na m bụ onye na-emebi iwu.
For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.
19 Nʼihi na-esitere m nʼaka iwu nwụọ nʼebe iwu dị, ka m nwee ike dị ndụ nʼebe Chineke nọ. Akpọgidela mụ na Kraịst nʼobe.
For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.
20 Ọ bụkwaghị mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ ugbu a, kama ọ bụ Kraịst na-adị ndụ ya nʼime m. Ndụ ahụ nke m na-adị ugbu a nʼanụ ahụ m bụ nke m na-adị nʼihi okwukwe m nwere nʼime Ọkpara Chineke, onye hụrụ m nʼanya, ma werekwa onwe ya nye nʼihi m.
I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live; [and yet] no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
21 Anaghị m akpọ amara Chineke ihe na-enweghị isi. Nʼihi na a sị na a pụrụ ịgụ mmadụ dị ka onye ezi omume site nʼidebe iwu, mgbe ahụ ọnwụ Kraịst nwụrụ abaghị uru.
I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.
