Agalatia 2
1 Baada ya miaka komi ni ina nayei kae Yerusalem pamope ni Barnaba. Nampotwi na Tito pamope na nee.
Then after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having also taken Titus with me;
2 Nayei kwasababu ya Nnongo atibonekana kwamba napalikwe yenda. nabekite mnonge yabe injili yanitangazile kwa bandu ba mataifa. (Lakini nalongei kwa siri kwa wabile iyongozi muhimu) napangite nyaa hakikisha kwamba nabutukite lii, ama natibutuka bure.
and I went up by revelation, and submitted the good news to them that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest I ran or might run in vain;
3 Lakini hata Tito, abile pamope nane, yabile myunani, alazimishwe inilwa.
but not even Titus, who [is] with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised—
4 Jambo le lapite kwa sababu nongo wa ubocho yaichile kwa siri peleka uhuru twabile papalite panga twee tupangilwe atumwa sheria.
and [that] because of the false brothers brought in unaware, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us under bondage,
5 Twapejilwe hata kwa saa jimo lenga kwamba injili ya kweli hii gali bila garambuka kwinu.
to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.
6 Lakini ywembe yabaite abile kiongozi bapiite lii kilebe kwango nee kilebe chaba kipangite ndopo maana kwango. Nnongo akani upendelelo kwa bandu.
And from those who were esteemed to be something—whatever they were then, it makes no difference to me. God does not accept the face of man, for to me those esteemed added nothing,
7 Badala ya ke, babweni kwamba niaminilwe tangaza injili kwa ba inilwe lii. lenga kama Petro atangaze injili yango kwa bainilwe.
but on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with [that] of the circumcision,
8 Kwa maana Nnongo, apangite kazi ndani ya Petro tubwe cha utumwe kwa bainilwe, ende apangite kazi ndani yango kwa bandu ba'mataifa.
for He who worked with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, worked also in me in regard to the nations,
9 Wakati wa Yakobo, Kefa, ni Yohana, bati tanganikwa kua bati chenga kanisa, batangite neema ya mbeilwe nee, batitupokiya katika ushirika nenga na Barnaba. Twapangite nyaa lenga kwamba tuyende kwa bandu bamataifa, lenga kwamba baweze yenda kwa balo bainilwe.
and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, they gave to me a right hand of fellowship, and to Barnabas, that we may go to the nations, and they to the circumcision,
10 Batitupala twee kuhakombokiya masikini nenga mbalae panga kikoe Kati cheno.
only, that we should be mindful of the poor, which I also was diligent—this very thing—to do.
11 Natikumkanikia wakati Kefa paichile Antiokia, waziwazi kwa sababu atinikosea.
And when Peter came to Antioch, I stood up against him to the face, because he was blameworthy,
12 Kabla ya bandu kadhaa hicho boka kwa Yakobo, Kefa above andelyaa pamope na bandu bamataifa. Ende yogopa bandu ambao Bapala tohara.
for before the coming of some from James, he was eating with the nations, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of circumcision,
13 onyonyo Bayahudi benge bati yangabanika na unafiki pamope na Kefa. Matokeo gake yabile kwamba hata Barnaba atitolekwa na ulau wabe.
and the other Jews acted hypocritically with him, so that Barnabas was also carried away by their hypocrisy.
14 Lakini panibweni kwamba babile bakengama lii injili ya kweli, natikumbakia Kefa mnonge yabe boti, kama mwenga ni Ayahudi lakini mutuma kwa tabia ya bandu ba mataifa badala ya tabia za kiyahudi.”
But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of the nations, and not in the manner of the Jews, how do you compel the nations to live like Jews?
15 Twenga twabile Ayahudi kwa belekwa na siyo “bandu ba mataifa benye sambi.”
We by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,
16 Mutange wite ntopo yabalangiliwa haki kwa matendo ya sheria. Badala yake, tubulangiliwa haki kwa imani nkati ya Yesu Kristo. Twaichile kwa imani ndani ya Kristo Yesu lenga kwamba tubalangiliwa haki kwa imani ya Kristo na siyo kwa itendo ya sheria. Kwa matendo ya sheria ntopo mwili balanga haki.
having also known that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, but through faith from Jesus Christ, we also believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be declared righteous by faith from Christ, and not by works of law, because no flesh will be declared righteous by works of law.”
17 Lakini kama tunda kumpala mnongokwe kutubalangia haki ndani ya Kristo, tujikoliya bene pia tubi bene dhambi, je Kristo atipanga nmanda wa dhambi? nyonya lii!
And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we were also ourselves found sinners, [is] Christ then a servant of sin? Let it not be!
18 Maana kama chenga tegemea lango mnani na beka sheria, tegemeo ambalo natikuliboya, nando kuilayana mwene kwa tekwana sheria.
For if the things I threw down, these again I build up, I set myself forth [as] a transgressor;
19 Mbetiya sheria natiwa kwa sheria, kwa hiya nipalikwa tama kwa ajili ya Nnongo.
for I died through law that I may live to God;
20 Natibalangilwa pamope ni Kristo. Nenga lii nitama, bali yembe Kristo atama mkati yango maisha yanitama nkati yango maisha yanitama katika mwili nitama kwa imani ndani ya mwana wa Nnongo, atikanipenda na kwa ajili yango.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me; and that which I now live in the flesh—I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me;
21 Mpekani uruma ya Nnongo, maana mana itei haki nibile kupitia sheria bai Kristo kabahawire bure.
I do not make the grace of God void, for if righteousness [is] through law—then Christ died in vain.
