Galaatiyaa 2
1 Ani waggaa kudha afur booddee deebiʼee Yerusaalemitti ol baʼe; ani yeroo kana Barnaabaas wajjinin ture. Tiitoo illee of duukaa fudhadhee dhaqe.
Fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me
2 Ani mulʼataanin ol baʼe; wangeela Namoota Ormaa gidduutti lallabus isaaniif nan ibse. Kanas akka fiigichi koo kan duraa, kan ammaas akkasumaan hin hafne waan sodaadheef kophaatti warra dura buʼoota fakkaatanittin hime.
(I went up at that time in obedience to a revelation). And I laid before them the gospel which I am wont to preach among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those in authority, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.
3 Garuu Tiitoon inni ana wajjin ture iyyuu utuma nama Giriik taʼee jiruu akka dhagna qabatu hin dirqisiifamne.
But although Titus, my companion, was a Greek, they did not compel even him to be circumcised.
4 Kunis sababii obboloota sobaa tokko tokko bilisummaa nu karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin arganne basaasuu fi nu garboomfachuuf dhokatanii nu gidduu galaniif taʼe.
Yet there were false brethren who had crept in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us again.
5 Nus akka dhugaan wangeelaa isin bira jiraatuuf jennee battala tokkoof illee isaaniif hin ajajamne.
To them we did not yield submission even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might abide unshaken among you.
6 Waaʼeen warra gurguddaa fakkaatan sanaa yoo isaan waanuma fedhan taʼan iyyuu anaaf homaa miti; Waaqni fuula namaa ilaalee nama wal hin caalchisu; namoonni kunneen ergaa koo irratti waan tokko hin daballe.
But those in authority - what they once were makes no difference to me; God is no respecter of persons - those I say who were in authority had no additions to make my message.
7 Karaa kaaniin immoo isaan akkuma Phexros warra dhagna qabatanitti wangeela lallabuuf imaanaan itti kenname sana, anis akka warra dhagna hin qabannetti wangeela lallabuuf imaanaan natti kenname argan.
On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter has with the gospel for the circumcised
8 Waaqni akka Phexros ergamaa taʼee warra dhagna qabatan tajaajilu hojjete sun akka anis ergamaa taʼee Namoota Ormaa tajaajilu hojjeteeraatii.
(for he who has equipped Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised, equipped me also for the apostleship to the Gentiles),
9 Yaaqoob, Keefaa fi Yohannis warri akka “Utubaatti” ilaalaman sun yommuu ayyaana naa kenname hubatanitti anaa fi Barnaabaasiif harka mirgaa kan tokkummaa kennanii akka nu gara Namoota Ormaa deemnu, isaan immoo akka gara warra dhagna qabatanii dhaqan walii galan.
and when they recognized the grace which had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, then thought to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and to me the right hand of fellowship. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.
10 Wanni isaan nu kadhatanis akka nu hiyyeeyyii yaadannu qofa ture; kun immoo waanuma ani gochuuf hawwaa turee dha.
They stipulated only that we should remember the poor, which very thing indeed I was quite eager to do.
11 Keefaan waan dogoggoree tureef yeroo inni Anxookiiyaa dhufetti ani ifaan ifattin isaan morme.
But when Cephas came to Antioch I resisted him to his face, because he stood self-condemned.
12 Utuu jarri tokko Yaaqoob biraa hin dhufin dura inni Namoota Ormaa wajjin nyaachaa ture. Yommuu isaan achi gaʼanitti garuu waan garee warra dhagna qabatanii sodaateef dugda duubatti deebiʼee Namoota Ormaa irraa gargar baʼe.
For until certain men came from James he used to eat with the Gentile Christians, but when they came, he began to draw back and to separate himself, because he was afraid of the circumcision party.
13 Yihuudoonni kaanis itti fakkeessummaa isaa duukaa buʼan; Barnaabaas iyyuu itti fakkeessummaa isaaniitiin dogoggorfamee ture.
And the rest of the Jewish Christians also dissimulated with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.
14 Anis yommuu akka isaan daandii dhugaa wangeelaa irra hin deemne argetti hunda isaanii duratti Keefaan akkana jedhe; “Ati Yihuudii dha; garuu utuu akka Yihuudiitti hin taʼin akka Nama Ormaatti jiraatta; yoos ati akkamitti akka Namoonni Ormaa bartee Yihuudootaa duukaa buʼan dirqisiifta ree?
But when I saw that they were not walking a straight path, in the presence of the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all. "If you, although you are a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, why do you try to compel the Gentiles to become Jews?
15 “Nu dhalootaan Yihuudoota malee Namoota Ormaa cubbamoota miti;
"We are Jews by birth, and not ‘Gentile sinners’;
16 namni Yesuus Kiristoositti amanuun malee akka seera eeguun qajeelaa hin taasifamne beekna. Kanaafuu seera eeguudhaan utuu hin taʼin amantii Kiristoos irratti qabnuun qajeeltota akka taanuuf Kiristoos Yesuusitti amanneerra; eenyu iyyuu seera eeguudhaan qajeelaa hin taʼuutii.
"yet because we know that no man is justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we ourselves also have put our faith in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for "By the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."
17 “Egaa nu utuu karaa Kiristoosiin qajeeltota taasifamuu barbaannuu nu mataan keenya iyyuu cubbamoota taanee yoo argamnee Kiristoos tajaajilaa cubbuuti jechuudhaa ree? Kun gonkumaa akkas miti!
But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Far from it!
18 Ani yoon waanan diige deebisee ijaare akkan seera cabsituu taʼen mirkaneessa.
For if I am rebuilding the very things which I destroyed, I am proving myself a transgressor.
19 “Ani akkan Waaqaaf jiraadhuuf, karaa seeraatiin seeraaf duʼeeraatii.
For it is through law I died to law, in order to live to God.
20 Ani Kiristoos wajjin fannifameera; siʼachi Kiristoositu na keessa jiraata malee kan jiraatu ana miti. Ani jireenya amma fooniin jiraadhu kana amantii Ilma Waaqaa isa na jaallatee naaf jedhee of kennetti qabuun nan jiraadha.
I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who am living, but it is Christ who is living in me; and the life I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.
21 Ani ayyaana Waaqaa gatii hin dhabsiisu; utuu qajeelummaan karaa seeraatiin argamee Kiristoos akkanumaan duʼe jechuu dha kaa!”
I do not annul the grace of God; for if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ died Christ for nothing.
