Galesia 2
1 Hagi 14ni'a kafuzage manite'na, Jerusalemi kumate Banabasi'ene ete marerita nevuta, Taitusina avreta vu'no'e.
After 14 years passed, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus also.
2 E'inama hu'noana na'ankure oku'a fraki'nea nanekea, Anumzamo nagri naveri hu'nea naneke megi'a vahepi huama hu'noa kea ome zmasami'noe. Menima e'nerua erizamo'ene, ko'ma eri'noa eri'zamo'a amnezanknara osinogu kva vahe zamagrike ome zamasami'noe.
But [I tell you that] I went up there because of what God revealed to me. [It was not because someone there asked me to come]. I told people what was the good message that I was preaching in regions where non-Jews live. But I talked privately to those whom your new teachers highly respect. I did that in order that what I was doing and what I had done [MET] might not become useless [MET] [as a result of people rejecting my message because they thought that I was teaching something that was not true].
3 Hianagi Taitusi'a Griki ne'mo nagri'ene vano nehia neragi, kva vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa hu'za, oku avufga anona taga huzankura mago kea osu'naze.
But [even though the leaders of the believers usually insisted that when non-Jews trusted in Christ someone must circumcise them], they did not even insist that Titus be circumcised, even though he was a Greek man who was with me.
4 Hianagi havige mono nerafu'za mono vahekna hu'za atrumahumpina enefre'za, Krais Jisasimpi fruhuta mani'nonazana tavre'za korapa avu'avazampi kinarerante'naku efre'naze.
[I talked to them privately] because some people [successfully] pretended that they were fellow believers and associated with the true believers. They did that in order that they might observe closely what we do because we are free [from having to obey all the Jewish laws and rituals] because of our close relationship with Christ Jesus [MET]. Those people wanted to make us [like] slaves [MET] [of those rituals by convincing us that we cannot trust Christ solely but that we must also obey all the Jewish rituals].
5 Hianagi tagra tamage Knare Musenkemo tamagrane mesiegu, zamagri kea antahiozamita kankamuna ozami'none.
But not even briefly did we [(exc)] do what they wanted [about circumcision. We(exc) resisted them] in order that the truth of the message about Christ might continue to [benefit] you.
6 Hianagi ra zamagi eri'naza vahe'mokizmia, ra zamagima eri'nazo, ra zmagi e'ori'nazo nagra ana zankura nontahue. Anumzamo'enena ra zmagigura nontahie. Ana zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'za mago kea nagri kerera osu'naze.
The [leaders in Jerusalem], whom your new teachers respect, did not add anything to what I preach. [And I would add that] what status those leaders had did not influence me, because God does not favor certain/important persons [IDM] more than others.
7 Hianagi zamagrama ke'za antahizama hazana, Pitama zamufga tgahu Jiu vahete Knare Musenke ome huama hinogu hunte'neaza huno, nagrira zamufga taga osu'naza megi'a vahete Knare Musenkea huama huogu hunante'ne hu'za ke'za antahiza hu'naze.
Instead of those leaders adding to the message that I tell people, they understood that I had been given the good message {God had given the good message to me} so that I might proclaim it to the non-Jews [MTY], just like [God] had given the good message to Peter so that he might tell it to those who are Jews [MTY].
8 Na'ankure zamufga tagahu Jiu vahepima Pitama aposol erizante huntegeno vu'nea Anumzamo, nagri'enena aposolo eri'zana zamufga taga osu megi'a vahepina eriogu hunante'ne.
That is, just like [God] had empowered/authorized Peter in order that he might be an apostle [to bring God’s message] to the Jews [MTY], he also had empowered/authorized me in order that I might be an apostle to [bring his message to] the non-Jews.
9 Anumzamo'ma asunkuzama'areti nami'nea eri'zana, Jemisima, Pita'ma, Joni'ma zamagra mono eri'zamofona hagaza zafa mani'ne'za keama nehu'za, Banabasine nagri'enena megi'a vahepi eri'za omerisu'egu magoka hurantageta megi'a vahepina vu'no'e. Hagi Jiu vahete zamagra eri'zana erisageta, tagra megi'a vahepi eri'zana erigahu'e.
And [those leaders] knew that God had kindly given to me this special work. So James, Peter, and John, the ones whom your new teachers [respect because they are] leaders [MET] [of the believers], shook hands with us [IDM] [to show that they agreed that Barnabas and I are serving the Lord just like they are, and that we are preaching the same message that they are preaching]. They also agreed that we [(exc)] are the ones whom God was sending to [tell his message to] non-Jews, but that God is sending them to [tell his message to] Jews [MTY].
10 Zamagra zamunte omane vahe zamaza huzankura antahizamiho hu'za hurante'naze. E'i ana eri'zana nagrira tusi'za huno navenesige'na erinaku nehua erizanku hu'naze.
They merely urged that we [(exc)] still remember to help the poor [fellow believers who live in Jerusalem]. That is exactly what I have been eager to do.
11 Hianagi Pita'ma Antioku kumate ehanatige'na, haviza hu'nane hu'na avufi kesu'noe.
But [later while I was at] Antioch [city], after Peter came there, I told him directly [SYN] that what he was doing was wrong.
12 Na'ankure Jemisi'ma huzmante'nea vahe'mo'zama omenageno'a, Pita'a knare huno megi'a vahe'enena magopinti ne'zana netere hu'ne. Hianagi mago'a vahe'ma Jemisi'ma huzmantege'za neageno'a, Pita'a anamokizmia zamatreno agragu umani'ne. Na'ankure zamufga taga hu'naza vaheku koro hu'ne.
[This is what happened]: [Peter went to Antioch and started eating regularly with non-Jewish believers there]. Later there were certain [Jewish believers who] came [to Antioch who claimed that] James, [the leader of the congregations in Jerusalem], had sent them. But when [those certain] men came, Peter gradually quit [eating] with the non-Jewish believers and would not associate with them. He was afraid that the Jewish [believers from Jerusalem would criticize him for associating with non-Jews].
13 Maka Jiu vahe'mo'za, anahukna hu'za kruna zamuzma nehazageno, ana zamo'enena, Banabasina avazu hu'ne.
Also, the other Jewish [believers who were in Antioch] [SYN] acted (insincerely/in a way that they knew was not right) along with [Peter]. The result was that they convinced even Barnabas to [stop associating with the non-Jewish believers]!
14 Hianagi nagrama kogeno, Knare Musenkefi fatgo hu'za omanizage'na, maka'mokizmi zamufi anage hu'na Pitana asmi'noe, kagra Jiu ne' mani'nenka megi'a vahekna hunka nemaninka, Jiu vahekna hunka nomanine. Nankna hunka megi'a vahe'mokizmia, Jiu vahe'mo'za nehazaza hiho hunka nehane?
But when I realized that they were not acting according to the truth of the message about Christ, [when] all [the fellow believers there] were present, I told Peter [the following]: “Although you [(sg)] are a Jew, [you often conduct yourself] like non-Jews [do by disregarding Jewish laws about food. When you are among non-Jews], you [(sg)] do not customarily conduct yourself at all like Jews [do]. So, (now it is wrong that you [(sg)] are causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs!/why are you [(sg)] causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs?) [RHQ]”
15 Tagra Jiu vahe mani'neta, megi'a vahe'mokizmi amu'nompina, kumi vahera omani'none.
Some of us [believers] were born as Jews. We [(exc)] were not born as non-Jews. [We Jews have always considered non-Jews to be] ‘sinners’ [because they do not obey the Jewish rituals and laws].
16 Tamagerafa hu'za vahe'mo'za kasegemofo erizantetira fatgo vahera omanigahaze. Hianagi Jisas Kraisinte'ma zamentintima hazamo'za fatgo vahera nemanizankita, tagranena Jisas Kraisinte tamentinti nehuta fatgo vahera nemnunankino, kasegema avaririzamo tazeri fatgo vahera noseankita, Jisas Kraisinte tamentinti hanunazamo fatgo vahera nemnunanki, kasegema avaririzamo'a vahe'mota tazeri fatgo nosie. Kasegemo'a mago vahera azeri fatgo osugahie.
But we [(exc)] now know that it is not because some person obeys the laws [that God gave to Moses] that [God] erases the record of that person’s sins. [God erases the record of a person’s sins only if that person trusts in what Jesus Christ has done]. Even we [(exc)] Jews trusted Christ Jesus. We [(exc)] did that in order that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our trusting Christ, and not because of our obeying the laws [that God gave to Moses. God has said that] he will [never] erase the record of people’s sins just because of their obeying those laws.
17 Tagrama Jiu vahe'motama Kraisimpima tazeri fatgo hu kanku'ma nehakesumota, kesunana kumi vahe mani'none hugahune. Ama'i ana zamo'a huno Kraisi higeta kumira nehumpi? Anara nosune.
Furthermore, because we [(exc) Jews] desired that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our relationship with Christ, [it means that] we realized that we ourselves were sinners [like non-Jews, whom we called] sinners, [because we(exc) also were not obeying the Jewish rituals and laws]. [But] ([we(inc) certainly cannot conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin./[should we conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin?) [RHQ] [No, Christ] certainly does not [cause anyone to sin].
18 Ko'ma atre'noa kasegema eri kasefa hanu'na, nagra kumi vahe manigahue.
So if I should again believe [that God would erase the record of my sins because of my obeying the laws that he gave to Moses] [MET], [I would be like a man who] rebuilds an old building that he tore down. It would [soon] be clear that I am one who disobeys those same laws [that God gave to Moses].
19 Na'ankure kasegemo'a fri kante navrentege'na, kasegefina ko fri vahekna hu'na mani'noanagi, menina ama kanteti Anumzanena nasimu eri'na mani'noe. Nagrira Kraisi'ene rugeka zafare nahe'za hantizage'na, Agrane ko fri'noe.
When [I realized that I could not earn God’s favor] by [obeying] the laws [that he gave to Moses, I decided not] to [respond to what those laws demanded] [MET], [just like] a dead person [does not respond to anything]. Now I live to [honor/serve] God.
20 Nagra Kraisi'ene keka zafare ko fri'noankina, menima mani'noana nagra'a omani'noanki, Kraisi nagu'afina mani'negena, nagrama ama navufare'ma mani'noana, Anumzamofo Nemofonte namentinti nehu'na Agra'a avesinanteno asimu'a nami'nemofonte mani'noe.
[It is as though] I was with Christ when he was crucified {died on the cross} [MET] (OR, [It is as though] my [old way of life ended when] Christ died on the cross.) No longer am I [directing the way I behave as I did before I believed in Christ]. Now Christ [is directing how] I [behave. And whatever I do] now while I live, I do it trusting in God’s Son. He is the one who loved me and offered himself [as a sacrifice] for me.
21 Nagra Anumzamofo asunku'zana namage'na hunemi'na eri amnezanknara osugahue. Tagrama kasegema avaririsunkeno, Anumzamo'a taguvazigahie hanunkeno'a, Jisasi'ma frino tazeri agruma hu'neazamo'a amnezankna hugahie.
I am not rejecting [as useless] what God [did for me] ([kindly/that I did not deserve]), [as my opponents are doing. I fully accept that God saved me by acting kindly towards me]. If it is because people [obey the] laws [that God gave to Moses] that God erases the record of their sins, then Christ died (for nothing/needlessly).
