Karatia 2

1 Muri iho, kia pahure nga tau tekau ma wha, ka haere ano ahau ki Hiruharama maua ko Panapa, me te mau ano i a Taituha hei hoa moku.

Fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.

2 Na te whakakitenga mai hoki ahau i haere ai, a whakatakotoria ana e ahau ki a ratou te rongopai e kauwhautia nei e ahau ki nga tauiwi; otiia i meatia pukutia ki te hunga whai ingoa, kei maumau kau taku oma onaianei, o mua ra ranei.

But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain.

3 Kihai ia a Taituha, toku hoa, he Kariki nei ia, i meinga kia kotia:

But even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised;

4 Mo nga teina teka hoki i whakaurua pukutia mai, i haere puku mai nei ki te tirotiro i to matou ahua, he herekore i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kia whakataurekareka ai ratou i a matou.

and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

5 Kihai rawa matou i whakangawari iho, i rongo ki a ratou, ahakoa kotahi haora; he mea kia mau ai te pono o te rongopai ki a koutou.

to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

6 Otira ko te hunga whai ingoa ahakoa he aha ratou, kahore tahi he tikanga ki ahau: kahore a te Atua whakapai ki te kanohi tangata kihai ratou, te hunga whai ingoa, i whakaatu mea ki ahau:

And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.

7 Engari to ratou kitenga kua tukua ki ahau te rongopai ki te kotingakore pera hoki me tera ki kotinga kua tukua ra ki a Pita;

But on the contrary, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision;

8 Ko te kaimahi hoki i roto i a Pita hei apotoro ki te kotinga, mahi ana ano ia i roto i ahau ki nga tauiwi:

(for He who wrought effectually in Peter as to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought effectually also in me as to the gentiles: )

9 Na, no ratou ka matau ki te aroha noa kua homai ki ahau, ka homai e Hemi, e Kipa, e Hoani, i meinga nei hei pou, nga ringa matau hei whakahoatanga ki a maua ko Panapa, mo maua kia haere ki nga tauiwi, ko ratou ia ki te kotinga:

and knowing the grace which was given to me; James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars of the church, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

10 Otiia me mahara maua ki te hunga rawakore; he mea ano hoki tena i hihiko ai ahau.

Only desiring that we would remember the poor: which I also was forward to do.

11 Na, i te taenga mai o Pita ki Anatioka, ka whakatika atu ahau ki a ia he kanohi, he kanohi, no te mea kua tika kia whakahengia ia.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was indeed to be blamed.

12 I mua hoki o te taenga mai o etahi i a Hemi, e kai tahi ana ia me nga tauiwi: no to ratou taenga mai ia, neke atu ana ia, momotu ke ana i a ia; i mataku hoki ki te hunga o te kotinga.

For before certain men came from James, he did eat with the gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.

13 I uru ano era atu Hurai ki tona tinihanga: heoi riro pu a Panapa i to ratou tinihanga.

And the rest of the Jews dissembled also with him; so that Barnabas too was carried away with their dissimulation.

14 Otira, i toku kitenga kihai ratou i haere tika i runga i te pono o te rongopai, ka mea ahau ki a Pita i te aroaro o ratou katoa, ki te mea ko koe, he Hurai, ka whakatauiwi i a koe, a kahore e whakahurai, me pehea e taea ai e koe te mea nga tauiw i kia Hurai?

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, ---If thou, who art a Jew, livest sometimes after the manner of the gentiles, and not like the Jews, why dost thou now in a manner compel the gentiles to judaize?

15 Ko tatou, ko nga Hurai tupu nei, ehara nei i te hunga hara no nga tauiwi,

We, who are Jews by birth, and not sinners of the gentiles,

16 Kua mohio nei ehara nga mahi a te ture i te mea e tika ai te tangata, engari ko te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti; kua whakapono ano tatou ki a Ihu Karaiti, kia meinga ai te whakapono ki a te Karaiti hei tika mo tatou, kahore ia nga mahi a te ture; no te mea kahore rawa he kikokiko e tika i nga mahi o te ture.

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

17 Na, i a tatou e whai nei kia whakatikaia i roto i a te Karaiti, ki te kitea tatou nei he hunga hara, he minita ranei a te Karaiti ki te hara? Kahore rapea.

But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sin?

18 Ki te mea hoki ka hanga ano e ahau nga mea i wahia e ahau, e whakakite ana ahau i ahau ano, he tangata hara.

God forbid. And if I build again the same things which I demolished, I shew myself a transgressor: for I through the law am dead to the law,

19 Na te ture hoki ahau i tupapaku ai ki te ture, kia ora ai ahau ki te Atua.

that I might live unto God.

20 Kua ripekatia tahitia ahau me te Karaiti: a e ora nei, ehara i te mea ko ahau, engari ko te Karaiti e ora ana i roto i ahau: e ora nei hoki ahau i roto i te kikokiko, he oranga na te whakapono ki te Tama a te Atua, i aroha nei ki ahau, i tuku ne i i a ia moku.

I am crucified with Christ; yet I live, though no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave up himself for me.

21 Kahore aku whakakahore i te aroha noa o te Atua: mehemea hoki i na runga mai te tika i te ture, maumau mate noa a te Karaiti.

I do not frustate the grace of God: for if righteousness be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
