Galatiana 2

1 Ary nony afaka efatra ambin’ ny folo taona, dia niakatra tany Jerosalema indray izaho sy Barnabasy, ary Titosy dia nentiko niaraka tamiko koa.

Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.

2 Ary niakatra araka ny fanambarana aho, ka nambarako taminy ny filazantsara izay toriko any amin’ ny jentilisa, nefa nangingina ihany tamin’ izay manan-daza, fandrao ho mihazakazaka foana aho, na efa nihazakazaka foana.

I went up in response to a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were held in high esteem, to make sure that I was not running or had not run in vain.

3 Kanefa na dia Titosy izay niaraka tamiko aza, dia tsy mba noterena hoforana, na dia Grika aza izy,

But not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he is a Greek.

4 dia noho ny rahalahy sandoka nampidirina misokosoko, izay niditra mangingina hisafo ny fahafahantsika, izay ananantsika ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy, mba hanandevozany antsika;

Now this matter arose because of the false brothers who were secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us.

5 fa tsy nety nikoy ireo izahay na dia ora iray monja aza, mba hitoeran’ ny fahamarinan’ ny filazantsara aminareo.

But we did not yield to them in submission for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

6 Fa ny amin’ ny olona atao ho manan-daza (na nanao ahoana na nanao ahoana izy dia tsy mampaninona ahy; Andriamanitra tsy mizaha tavan’ olona), izaho tsy nomen’ ireo manan-daza ireo saina na tamin’ inona na tamin’ inona.

Now from those who were esteemed to be something (what sort of men they once were makes no difference to me; God does not show partiality)—those, I say, who were held in high esteem added nothing to me.

7 Fa hafa kosa no nataony, fa nony hitany fa notolorana ny filazantsara ho adidiko ho an’ ny tsy voafora aho, tahaka an’ i Petera ho an’ ny voafora

On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised.

8 (fa Izay niasa ho an’ i Petera hah’ Apostoly azy ho an’ ny voafora no niasa ho ahy koa ho an’ ny jentilisa),

For he who worked through Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised also worked through me in my apostleship to the Gentiles.

9 ary nony fantatr’ i Jakoba sy Kefasy ary Jaona, izay natao ho andry, ny fahasoavana nomena ahy, dia notolorany ny tanana ankavanan’ ny fihavanana izaho sy Barnabasy, mba hankany amin’ ny jentilisa izahay, fa izy kosa ho any amin’ ny voafora.

When James, Cephas, and John, who were esteemed as pillars of the church, recognized the grace given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and that they should go to the circumcised.

10 Izao ihany no tiany, dia ny mba hahatsiarovanay ny malahelo, sady nahazoto ahy indrindra rahateo ny hanao izany.

They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

11 Ary nony tonga tany Antiokia Kefasy, dia nanohitra azy nifanatrika aho, satria hita fa nanan-tsiny izy.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy.

12 Fa fony tsy mbola tonga ny sasany any tany amin’ i Jakoba, dia niara-nihinana tamin’ ny jentilisa ihany izy; fa nony tonga ireo, dia nihatakataka izy ka niala, satria natahotra ny momba ny famorana izy.

For he regularly ate with the Gentiles until certain men came from James. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself because he was afraid of the circumcision faction.

13 Ary ny Jiosy sasany koa niara-nihatsaravelatsihy taminy, ka Barnabasy avy aza mba voataonan’ ny fihatsaram-belatsihiny koa.

And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.

14 Fa rehefa hitako fa tsy nandeha mahitsy araka ny fahamarinan’ ny filazantsara ireo, dia hoy izaho tamin’ i Kefasy teo anatrehan’ ny olona rehetra: Raha ianao izay tena Jiosy aza no manao tahaka ny fanaon’ ny jentilisa, fa tsy tahaka ny fanaon’ ny Jiosy, nahoana ny jentilisa no terenao hanao tahaka ny fanaon’ ny Jiosy?

But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly in accordance with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “If yoʋ, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do yoʋ compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

15 Taranaky ny Jiosy isika, fa tsy mba mpanota avy amin’ ny jentilisa,

We who are Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners

16 nefa nony fantatsika fa tsy hamarinina amin’ ny asan’ ny lalàna ny olona, fa amin’ ny finoana an’ i Jesosy Kristy, dia nino an’ i Kristy Jesosy koa isika mba hohamarinina amin’ ny finoana an’ i Kristy, fa tsy amin’ ny asan’ ny lalàna, satria tsy misy nofo hohamarinina amin’ ny asan’ ny lalàna.

know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by works of the law.

17 Fa raha mitady hohamarinina ao amin’ i Kristy isika, nefa ny tenantsika no hita fa mpanota, moa mpanompo ny ota va Kristy? Sanatria izany!

But if we ourselves have also been found to be sinners while seeking to be justified in Christ, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!

18 Fa raha ny zavatra efa noravako no atsangako indray, dia mampiseho ny tenako fa diso aho.

For if I build up again the very things that I tore down, I show myself to be a transgressor.

19 Fa raha izaho, dia tamin’ ny lalàna no nahafatesako ny amin’ ny lalàna, mba ho velona ho an’ Andriamanitra aho.

For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.

20 Voahombo miaraka amin’ i Kristy amin’ ny hazo fijaliana aho, ary tsy izaho intsony no velona, fa Kristy no velona ato anatiko; fa izay ivelomako ankehitriny eo amin’ ny nofo dia ivelomako amin’ ny finoana ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra, Izay efa tia ahy ka nanolotra ny tenany hamonjy ahy.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life that 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 Tsy mahafoana ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra aho; fa raha avy amin’ ny lalàna ny fahamarinana, dia maty foana Kristy.

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
