Pāvila Vēstule Galatiešiem 2
1 Pēc tam, pēc četrpadsmit gadiem, es atkal nogāju uz Jeruzālemi ar Barnabu, arī Titu paņemdams līdz.
Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2 Bet es turp nogāju caur kādu parādīšanu un tiem to evaņģēliju, ko es sludināju starp pagāniem, liku priekšā un sevišķi tiem jo cienīgiem, lai es velti neteku vai nebūtu skrējis.
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 Bet arī Titus, kas bija ar mani, Grieķis būdams, netapa spiests apgraizīties;
But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 Bet to ielīdušo viltīgo brāļu dēļ, kas bija iezagušies, izlūkot mūsu brīvību, kas mums ir iekš Kristus Jēzus, ka tie mūs darītu par kalpiem, -
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 Tiem mēs ne acumirkli neesam ceļu griezuši nedz paklausījuši, lai evaņģēlija patiesība pie jums paliktu.
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 Bet no tiem, kas bija jo cienīgi (kādi tie jebkad bijuši, tas man vienalga, Dievs neuzlūko cilvēka vaigu), šie jo cienīgie man neko nav uzlikuši klāt.
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 Bet turpretī, kad tie redzēja, ka evaņģēlijs man ir uzticēts pie tiem, kam ir priekšāda, tā kā Pēterim pie tiem, kas ir apgraizīti,
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 (Jo Tas, kas ar Pēteri bijis spēcīgs apustuļu amatā pie apgraizītiem, Tas arī bijis spēcīgs ar mani pie pagāniem) -
(for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);
9 Un kad Jēkabs, Kefas un Jānis, ko turēja par pīlāriem, atzina to žēlastību, kas man bija dota; tad tie man un Barnabam roku deva uz biedrību, lai mēs mācītu pagānus un viņi (mācītu) apgraizītos;
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 Tikai lai mēs nabagus pieminētu, - un es arī esmu rūpējies to izdarīt.
only [they would] that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
11 Un kad Pēteris bija nācis uz Antioķiju, tad es tam acīs stājos pretī, jo viņš bija apsūdzams.
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.
12 Jo, pirms nekā no Jēkaba kādi bija atnākuši, viņš ēda kopā ar pagāniem; bet kad tie bija atnākuši, tad viņš atrāvās un nošķīrās, bīdamies tos no apgraizīšanas.
For before that certain came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision.
13 Un līdz ar viņu arī tie citi Jūdi apgrēkojās ar liekulību, tā ka arī Barnaba līdz tapa nogriezts caur viņu liekulību.
And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 Bet kad es redzēju, ka tie nestaigā pareizi pēc evaņģēlija patiesības, tad es Pēterim sacīju visiem dzirdot: Ja tu Jūds būdams dzīvo ka pagāns un nekā Jūds, ko tu spiedi pagānus, lai tie dzīvo kā Jūdi?
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 Mēs no dzimuma esam Jūdi un ne grēcinieki no pagāniem;
We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 Bet zinādami, ka cilvēks netop taisnots caur bauslības darbiem, bet caur Jēzus Kristus ticību, arī mēs esam ticējuši uz Kristu Jēzu, lai topam taisnoti caur Kristus ticību un ne caur bauslības darbiem: tāpēc ka caur bauslības darbiem neviena miesa netaps taisnota.
yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but 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 Bet ja mēs, kas meklējam tapt taisnoti iekš Kristus, arī paši topam atrasti grēcinieki, - vai tad Kristus ir grēka kalps? Nemaz ne!
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 Jo ja es to, ko esmu nolauzis, atkal uztaisu, tad pats kļūstu par pārkāpēju.
For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.
19 Jo es caur bauslību bauslībai esmu miris, lai dzīvotu Dievam.
For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.
20 Es ar Kristu esmu krustā sists, bet es dzīvoju, tomēr vairs ne es, bet iekš manis dzīvo Kristus, un ko es tagad dzīvoju miesā, to dzīvoju ticībā uz To Dieva Dēlu, kas mani mīlējis un Pats par mani nodevies.
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, 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 Es nenicināju Dieva žēlastību; jo ja taisnība ir caur bauslību, tad Kristus velti miris.
I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.
