Galatiya 2
1 Afar iyo toban sannadood dabadeed ayaan mar kale Yeruusaalem aaday, Barnabasna wuu ila jiray, oo Tiitosna waan kaxaystay.
After 14 years passed, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus also.
2 Sidii la iigu muujiyey ayaan u tegey, oo waxaan iyaga hor dhigay injiilka aan dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn ku wacdiyo, laakiinse waxaan gooni ahaan u tusay kuwii sharafta lahaa, si aanan u ahaan mid waxtarla'aan iska ordaya ama hore u orday.
But [I tell you that] I went up there because of what God revealed to me. [It was not because someone there asked me to come]. I told people what was the good message that I was preaching in regions where non-Jews live. But I talked privately to those whom your new teachers highly respect. I did that in order that what I was doing and what I had done [MET] might not become useless [MET] [as a result of people rejecting my message because they thought that I was teaching something that was not true].
3 Laakiin xataa Tiitos oo ila socday, isagoo Gariig ah, laguma qasbin in la gudo
But [even though the leaders of the believers usually insisted that when non-Jews trusted in Christ someone must circumcise them], they did not even insist that Titus be circumcised, even though he was a Greek man who was with me.
4 walaalaha beenta ah oo qarsoodiga lanoogu soo geliyey daraaddood, kuwa noogu soo galay inay basaasaan xorriyaddeenna aynu Ciise Masiix ku haysanno, inay na addoonsadaan.
[I talked to them privately] because some people [successfully] pretended that they were fellow believers and associated with the true believers. They did that in order that they might observe closely what we do because we are free [from having to obey all the Jewish laws and rituals] because of our close relationship with Christ Jesus [MET]. Those people wanted to make us [like] slaves [MET] [of those rituals by convincing us that we cannot trust Christ solely but that we must also obey all the Jewish rituals].
5 In runta injiilku idinla sii jirto, taas daraaddeed ayaannan saacad qudha u hoos gelin iyaga.
But not even briefly did we [(exc)] do what they wanted [about circumcision. We(exc) resisted them] in order that the truth of the message about Christ might continue to [benefit] you.
6 Laakiinse kuwii loo maleeyey inay sharaf leeyihiin (wax kastoo ay ahaayeen, waxba igama gelin; waayo, Ilaah dadka wejigiisa uma kala eexdo) waxaan leeyahay, Kuwii sharafta lahaa waxba iguma ay darin.
The [leaders in Jerusalem], whom your new teachers respect, did not add anything to what I preach. [And I would add that] what status those leaders had did not influence me, because God does not favor certain/important persons [IDM] more than others.
7 Laakiinse kolkay arkeen in laygu ammaaneeyey injiilka kuwa buuryoqabka ah, xataa sidii Butros loogu ammaaneeyey injiilka kuwa gudan,
Instead of those leaders adding to the message that I tell people, they understood that I had been given the good message {God had given the good message to me} so that I might proclaim it to the non-Jews [MTY], just like [God] had given the good message to Peter so that he might tell it to those who are Jews [MTY].
8 waayo, kii Butros kaga dhex shaqeeyey sii uu rasuul ugu ahaado kuwa gudan ayaa anna igaga dhex shaqeeyey sii aan dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn rasuul ugu ahaado,
That is, just like [God] had empowered/authorized Peter in order that he might be an apostle [to bring God’s message] to the Jews [MTY], he also had empowered/authorized me in order that I might be an apostle to [bring his message to] the non-Jews.
9 oo kolkay ogaadeen nimcada lay siiyey, Yacquub iyo Keeyfas iyo Yooxanaa, iyagoo loo sharfay sida tiirar, waxay aniga iyo Barnabas na siiyeen gacanta midigta oo wehelnimada, inaannu annagu u tagno dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn, iyaguna ay u tagaan kuwa gudan.
And [those leaders] knew that God had kindly given to me this special work. So James, Peter, and John, the ones whom your new teachers [respect because they are] leaders [MET] [of the believers], shook hands with us [IDM] [to show that they agreed that Barnabas and I are serving the Lord just like they are, and that we are preaching the same message that they are preaching]. They also agreed that we [(exc)] are the ones whom God was sending to [tell his message to] non-Jews, but that God is sending them to [tell his message to] Jews [MTY].
10 Waxay keliyahoo doonayeen inaannu masaakiinta xusuusanno, taas oo aan ku dadaalayay inaan sameeyo.
They merely urged that we [(exc)] still remember to help the poor [fellow believers who live in Jerusalem]. That is exactly what I have been eager to do.
11 Laakiinse Keeyfas kolkuu Antiyokh yimid, waan hor joogsaday, maxaa yeelay, wuu eedaysnaa.
But [later while I was at] Antioch [city], after Peter came there, I told him directly [SYN] that what he was doing was wrong.
12 Maxaa yeelay, intaan qaar Yacquub ka iman, Keeyfas wuxuu wax la cuni jiray dad aan Yuhuud ahayn, laakiinse markay yimaadeen, wuu ka soo noqday oo ka soocmay, isagoo kuwa gudan ka cabsanaya.
[This is what happened]: [Peter went to Antioch and started eating regularly with non-Jewish believers there]. Later there were certain [Jewish believers who] came [to Antioch who claimed that] James, [the leader of the congregations in Jerusalem], had sent them. But when [those certain] men came, Peter gradually quit [eating] with the non-Jewish believers and would not associate with them. He was afraid that the Jewish [believers from Jerusalem would criticize him for associating with non-Jews].
13 Yuhuudda inteedii kalena sidaas oo kalay labawejiilayaal la ahaayeen isaga, sidaas daraaddeed labawejiilenimadoodii waxay la tagtay xataa Barnabas.
Also, the other Jewish [believers who were in Antioch] [SYN] acted (insincerely/in a way that they knew was not right) along with [Peter]. The result was that they convinced even Barnabas to [stop associating with the non-Jewish believers]!
14 Kolkaan arkay inayan si hagaagsan ugu soconayn runta injiilka, ayaan kulli hortooda Keeyfas ku idhi, Adigoo Yuhuudi ah haddaad u dhaqanto sida dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn, oo aadan ahaan sida Yuhuudda, sidee baad ugu qasbaysaa dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn inay u dhaqmaan sida Yuhuudda?
But when I realized that they were not acting according to the truth of the message about Christ, [when] all [the fellow believers there] were present, I told Peter [the following]: “Although you [(sg)] are a Jew, [you often conduct yourself] like non-Jews [do by disregarding Jewish laws about food. When you are among non-Jews], you [(sg)] do not customarily conduct yourself at all like Jews [do]. So, (now it is wrong that you [(sg)] are causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs!/why are you [(sg)] causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs?) [RHQ]”
15 Innagoo jinsigeennu Yuhuud yahay, oo aan ahayn dembilayaal aan Yuhuud ahayn,
Some of us [believers] were born as Jews. We [(exc)] were not born as non-Jews. [We Jews have always considered non-Jews to be] ‘sinners’ [because they do not obey the Jewish rituals and laws].
16 ayaynu weliba garanaynaa inaan nin xaq ku noqon shuqullada sharciga, rumaysadka uu Ciise Masiix ku rumaystay mooyaane, xataa innagu waan rumaysannay Ciise Masiix inaynu xaq ku noqonno rumaysadka Masiix ee ayan ahayn shuqullada sharciga, maxaa yeelay, shuqullada sharciga ninna xaq kuma noqon doono.
But we [(exc)] now know that it is not because some person obeys the laws [that God gave to Moses] that [God] erases the record of that person’s sins. [God erases the record of a person’s sins only if that person trusts in what Jesus Christ has done]. Even we [(exc)] Jews trusted Christ Jesus. We [(exc)] did that in order that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our trusting Christ, and not because of our obeying the laws [that God gave to Moses. God has said that] he will [never] erase the record of people’s sins just because of their obeying those laws.
17 Laakiinse markaynu doonaynay inaynu Masiix xaq ku noqonno, haddii la helo inaynu qudheennu dembilayaal nahay, Masiix miyuu yahay midiidinka dembiga? Ma suurtowdo!
Furthermore, because we [(exc) Jews] desired that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our relationship with Christ, [it means that] we realized that we ourselves were sinners [like non-Jews, whom we called] sinners, [because we(exc) also were not obeying the Jewish rituals and laws]. [But] ([we(inc) certainly cannot conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin./[should we conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin?) [RHQ] [No, Christ] certainly does not [cause anyone to sin].
18 Waayo, haddaan mar kale dhiso waxyaalihii aan dumiyey, waxaan isku caddaynayaa inaan ahay mid xad gudbay.
So if I should again believe [that God would erase the record of my sins because of my obeying the laws that he gave to Moses] [MET], [I would be like a man who] rebuilds an old building that he tore down. It would [soon] be clear that I am one who disobeys those same laws [that God gave to Moses].
19 Anigu sharcigaan ugu dhintay xagga sharciga inaan Ilaah u noolaado.
When [I realized that I could not earn God’s favor] by [obeying] the laws [that he gave to Moses, I decided not] to [respond to what those laws demanded] [MET], [just like] a dead person [does not respond to anything]. Now I live to [honor/serve] God.
20 Waxaa iskutallaabta laygula qodbay Masiixa, laakiin weli waan noolahay. Aniga ma aha kan nooli, laakiin Masiix ayaa igu dhex nool, oo nolosha aan haatan jidhka ku dhex noolahay waxaan ku noolahay rumaysadka xagga Wiilka Ilaah, kan i jeclaaday oo naftiisa u bixiyey daraadday.
[It is as though] I was with Christ when he was crucified {died on the cross} [MET] (OR, [It is as though] my [old way of life ended when] Christ died on the cross.) No longer am I [directing the way I behave as I did before I believed in Christ]. Now Christ [is directing how] I [behave. And whatever I do] now while I live, I do it trusting in God’s Son. He is the one who loved me and offered himself [as a sacrifice] for me.
21 Nimcada Ilaah burin maayo, waayo, haddii xaqnimo sharciga laga helo, Masiix micnela'aan buu u dhintay.
I am not rejecting [as useless] what God [did for me] ([kindly/that I did not deserve]), [as my opponents are doing. I fully accept that God saved me by acting kindly towards me]. If it is because people [obey the] laws [that God gave to Moses] that God erases the record of their sins, then Christ died (for nothing/needlessly).
