Abhagalatia 2
1 Afume amaha kuminanne na bhabile habhili muYerusalemu peka nu Barnaba. Pia nahamwejihe u Tito nabhalile pipo Ungulubhi ayimanyisishye huline aje ihwanziwa imbale.
Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2 Nahabhishile mwilongolela lyabhoizwi lye mlumbileye hubhantu abhinsi. (Lelo na yinje hwa hwifise yalolosya jobhalongozi kamili). Nabho mbile iishi aje imanye aje sinshimbila pamo senashimbiye lwene.
I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.
3 Lelo hata yu Tito, ahali peka nani, yahali mu yahali Muyunani, alazimisizwe atahiliwe.
But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist upon even his being circumcised.
4 Ijambo ili lyahafumiye pipo ya holo abhilenga bhebhahinzile hufiso apelelezye uwabhushe wetulinawo mwa Kiristi Yesu. Bhanyonyilwe aje tibhe bhatumwa bhindajizyo.
Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob us of it.
5 Setwa yifumizye hubhitishe hata hwi saa lyeka, huje izwi ilyilyoli lisyale bila agahuhake humwuyu.
But not for an hour did we give way and submit to them; in order that the Good News might continue with you in its integrity.
6 Lelo bhala bhebhayangwilwe aje bhahali bhalongozi sebhasanjiye hohonti huline honti hebhobho mbaga seshali shi maana huline. Ungulubhi sahwitiha uupendeleo wa bhanadamu.
From those leaders I gained nothing new. Whether they were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me--God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, the leaders imparted nothing new.
7 Pamandi bhahandola initihwilwe alumbilile izwi hubhala bhesaga bhatahililwe. Ihali ndeshe u Petro alumbilile izwi hwa bhalasaga bhatahililwe.
Indeed, when they saw that I was entrusted with the preaching of the Good News to the Gentiles as Peter had been with that to the Jews--
8 Ungulubhi yayibhombile imbombo muhati uwa Petro hwa tumwa bhebhatahililwe ahabhombile imbombo hati yani na mubhantu abha munsi.
for He who had been at work within Peter with a view to his Apostleship to the Jews had also been at work within me with a view to my Apostleship to the Gentiles--
9 Lula u Yakobo, nu Yohani, nu Kefa, bhaloleshe aje bhahazenjile ishibhanza, bhahaminye uwene wenapewilwe ani bhatiposhile hushibanza ani nu Barnaba. Bhahabhombilishi aje tibhale hubhantu abha munsi nkebhabhale hubhala bhebhatahiliwilwe.
and when they perceived the mission which was graciously entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) welcomed Barnabas and me to their fellowship on the understanding that we were to go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.
10 Tena bhatwanzile ati hubhakumbushe apina nani wayonahasungwizye abhombe imbombo iyo.
Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.
11 U Kefa na ahinza huAntiokia, nahankhanile waziwazi pipo ahakosiye.
Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.
12 Kabla yi bhantu bhano afume hwa Yakobo na bhantu bhinsi. Lakini abhantu bhala ne bhahinza ahaleshile na sogole afume hwa bhantu abhinsi. Ahogopaga abhantu bhebha hwanza itohala.
For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party.
13 Tena Abhayahudi bhamo bhaha bhwagana nubhunafiki peka nu Kefa. Amatoke gahaliishi hata yu Barnaba ahinjiye mubhunafiki uwo.
And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness.
14 Lakini lwenalolaje sebhalifwata ibhangili ilyi lyoli nahamuzizye u Kefa pamaso gabho bhonti amwe nke mwe Bhayahudi, mlinitabia zya bhantu bhi mataifa badala yi tabia zyi shiyahudi?”
As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?
15 Ati twebhayahudi apapwe se bhantu bhi insi abhi mbibhi”
You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
16 mmanye aje numo yabhaziwa ilyoli humatendo gisheria. Badala yakwe bhabhaziwa ilyoli muhati mwa Yesu Kilisti, twahonzile nulwitiho muhati mwa Yesu Kristu. Ili huje tibhaziwe ilyoli hulwitiho muhati mwa Yesu na siyo amatendo gi shelia. Humatendo gishelia nagumo umbili gwewayabhaziwa ilyoli.
know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.
17 Lakini nike tihumwanza Ungulubhi atibhazizye ilyoli, muhati mwa Kilisti tiyilola tiniti aje tilini mbibhi, je uKilisti abhombilwe ntumwa wimbibhi? Seshi nisho!
But if while we are seeking in Christ acquittal from guilt we ourselves are convicted of sin, Christ then encourages us to sin! No, indeed.
18 Nkenazenga usubhilo gwani adime ishelia isubhuli lyenaluyu injilolesya nini aje imvunza ishelia.
Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;
19 Asilile musheha mfwiye mushelia kwahiyo uhwanziwa akhale munyobhe zya Ngulubhi.
for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.
20 Injimbihe peka nu Yesu. Senini habhili yikhala ila yu Yesu akhala muhati muline. Amaisha giakala aga mumbili inkhala hulwitiho. Muhati mwa Ngulubhi ya ngiine ani ahayifumya kwajili yaline.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.
21 Tejelezya uweene wa Ngulubhi nkushele ilyoli yaliho ashilile nasi uYesu handi afwiye bure.
I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain."
