Agalatiya 2
1 Pepepita zaka fotini neluta soti ku Yerusalemu na Banaba, netola Tito noluta naye.
Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2 Neluta kamba ka civumbuluso nakuleta kwabeve ulaliki unulalika pakati pa amitundu. Nenzo kamba mwakabisila kwabala benzo oneka olemekeza, kuti nionesheshe kuti nuutuka lini lubilo lwatyala.
I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
3 Koma ngakhale Tito, enze naneo ndipo enze Mugiliki, aliye kangamijyiwa kucita mudulidwe.
But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
4 Madoda yaboza mwacisinsi bewela kuzoona mtendele utilinao mwa Kristu Yesu. Benzo laka laka kuti tinkhale akapolo,
This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,
5 koma tiliyegonjele kwabeve olo pakanthawi katontho, kuti coonadi ca uthenga cikhalilile mwa mweo.
to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
6 Koma ao benze oneka ngati olemekezeka (mulimonse mwebenzelili aliye kanthu kwa neo, cifukwa Mulungu aliye sankho)- ao, binikuti, enzeolemekezeka aliye onjezele kanthu kwa neo.
But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
7 Mosiyana, beona kuti nepasiwa udindo kulalikila uthenga kwaopanda mudulidwe, monga Petulo epasiwa udindo olalikila uthenga kwa amudulidwe.
but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
8 Pakuti Mulungu, esebenza mwa Petulo potumikila kwa ao oduliwa, soti asebenza mwa neo kwa amitundu.
for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
9 Pamene Jemusi, Kefasi, na Yohane, enze na mbili ngati sandamila, pebezindikila cisomo cenze pa neo etilola
and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
11 Lyahanu linu Kefasi henza kwa Antioke, Chi ni mu kanina havusu bwe mpaata ya kwe kakuti ava foseze.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
12 Chetanzi vamwi vakwame ni va seni ku sika kwa Jakovo, Kefasi avali kulya ni va Machava. Kono cwale ava vakwame ha va keza, cha zimana mi ni kuva vutavuleni ni va Machava. Cha vali ku tite ava vakwame va vali kusaka mupato.
For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13 Mane ni vungi bya Majuda ni va kopana ne Kefasi mu kulinyemona. Ikalavo ivaali kuti nanga Barabasi chava yembulwilwe ku linuneka kwaavo.
And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 Kono hani vona kuti ka ve chilile vusakusima bye linzwi, ni na waamba ne Kefasi ha vusu byaavo voonse, “Haiva mu Vajuda mi ni mu hala che ikute lya vantu va Lichava vulyo kwaanda a ikute lya Vajuda, mu woola ku hambiliza vule va Lichava kuhala ili Vajuda?
But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
15 Iswe tu maJuda cha ku pepya mi yisini “ve Lichava va tenda ziivi”
“We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
16 mwi zive kuti ka kwina na ngati wu mwina yeta njolozwe cha musevezi wa mulawo. Ni hakuvavulyo, va njolozwa che tumelo ya Jesu Kereste. Tu vakezi che tumelo kwa Jesu Kereste cwale kuti tu njolozwe che tumelo kwa Kereste mi yi sinyi cha musevezi wa mulawo kakwina nyama ye te ni njolozwe.
yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
17 Kono heva, ni tusaka Reeza kuti atu njoloze ka Kereste, tu liwane na swe tu veene kuti tu va yenzalivi, kana Kereste u swanela ku va mutanga we chiivi? Sanzi ku ve vulyo!
But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
18 Heva ni zaaka isempo yangu cha kuya cha mulawo, Isempo ichini va sinyi kaale, ni livonahaza kuti ni mucholi wa mulawo.
For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
19 Ku zwila ku mulawo ni va fwi ku mulawo, ili kuti ni haale che Ireeza.
For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
20 Ni va konkotelwa vulyo ni Kereste. Kayisili me ni haala kono Kereste njo haala kwangu. Vuhalo vuni haala linu mwi nyama ni vuhala che tumelo ya Mwana Reeza, Uzo ya va ni suni ni kuliha yiye mwine kwangu.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
21 Ke se ni manise chisemo che Reeza, chokuti heva va lukite vavali kuhala mulawo, linu Kereste ni ku sena za va fwili.
I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
