1 Baada ya miaka kumi na nne nilienda tena Yerusalemu pamoja na Barnaba. Pia nilimchukua Tito pamoja nami.
And sith fourtene yeer aftir, eftsones Y wente vp to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took with me Tite.
2 Nilienda kwa sababu Mungu alijidhihirisha kwangu kwamba nilipaswa kwenda. Niliweka mbele yao Injili ambayo niliitangaza kwa watu wa mataifa. (Lakini niliongea kwa siri kwa waliosemekana kuwa viongozi muhimu). Nilifanya hivi ili kuhakikisha kwamba nilikuwa sikimbii, au nilikimbia bure.
Y wente vp bi reuelacioun, and spak with hem the euangelie, which Y preche among the hethene; and bi hem silf to these that semeden to be sumwhat, lest Y runne, or hadde runne in veyne.
3 Lakini hata Tito, aliyekuwa pamoja nami, aliyekuwa Myunani, alilazimishwa kutahiriwa.
And nother Tite, that hadde be with me, while he was hethene, was compellid to be circumsidid;
4 Jambo hili lilitokea kwa sababu ya ndugu wa uongo waliokuja kwa siri kupeleleza uhuru tuliokuwa nao katika Kristo Yesu. Walitamani kutufanya sisi kuwa watumwa wa sheria.
but for false britheren that weren brouyt ynne, whiche hadden entrid to aspie oure fredom, which we han in Jhesu Crist, to bring vs in to seruage.
5 Hatukujitoa kuwatii hata kwa saa moja, ili kwamba injili ya kweli ibaki bila kubadilika kwenu.
But we yyue no place to subieccioun, that the treuthe of the gospel schulde dwelle with you.
6 Lakini wale waliosemwa kuwa walikuwa viongozi hawakuchangia chochote kwangu. Chochote walichokuwa wakikifanya hakikuwa na maana kwangu. Mungu hakubali upendeleo wa wanadamu.
But of these that semeden to be sumwhat; whiche thei weren sum tyme, it perteyneth not to me, for God takith not the persoone of man; for thei that semeden to be sumwhat, yauen me no thing.
7 Badala yake, waliniona kwamba nimeaminiwa kuitangaza injili kwa wale ambao hawakutahiriwa. Ilikuwa kama Petro atangaze injili kwa waliotahiriwa.
But ayenward, whanne thei hadden seyn, that the euangelie of prepucie was youun to me, as the euangelie of circumcisioun was youun to Petre;
8 Kwa maana Mungu, aliyefanya kazi ndani ya Petro kwa ajili ya utume kwa wale waliotahiriwa, pia alifanya kazi ndani yangu kwa watu wa mataifa.
for he that wrouyte to Petre in apostlehed of circumcisioun, wrouyte also to me among the hethene;
9 Wakati Yakobo, Kefa, na Yohana, waliotambulika kuwa waliojenga Kanisa, walifahamu neema niliyopewa mimi, walitupokea katika ushirika mimi na Barnaba. Walifanya hivi ili kwamba twende kwa watu wa mataifa, na ili kwamba waweze kwenda kwa wale waliotahiriwa.
and whanne thei hadden knowe the grace of God, that was youun to me, James, and Petre, and Joon, whiche weren seyn to be the pileris, thei yauen riythond of felowschip to me and to Barnabas, that we among the hethene, and thei in to circumcisioun;
10 Pia walitutaka sisi kuwakumbuka masikini. Mimi pia nilikuwa natamani kufanya jambo hili.
oneli that we hadde mynde of pore men `of Crist, the which thing Y was ful bisi to doon.
11 Wakati Kefa alipokuja Antiokia, nilimpinga waziwazi kwa sababu alikuwa amekosea.
But whanne Petre was comun to Antioche, Y ayenstood hym in the face, for he was worthi to be vndirnommen.
12 Kabla ya watu kadhaa kuja kutoka kwa Yakobo, Kefa alikuwa akila pamoja na watu wa mataifa. Lakini hawa watu walipokuja, aliacha na kuondoka kutoka kwa watu wa mataifa. Alikuwa anaogopa watu ambao walihitaji tohara.
For bifor that ther camen summen fro James, he eete with the hethene men; but whanne thei weren comun, he withdrowy, and departide hym, dredinge hem that weren of circumcisioun.
13 Vilevile Wayahudi wengine waliungana na unafiki huu pamoja na Kefa. Matokeo yake yalikuwa kwamba hata Barnaba alichukuliwa na unafiki wao.
And the othere Jewis assentiden to his feynyng, so that Barnabas was drawun of hem in to that feynyng.
14 Lakini nilipoona kwamba walikuwa hawafuati injili ya kweli, nilimwambia Kefa mbele yao wote, “Kama ninyi ni Wayahudi lakini mnaishi tabia za watu wa mataifa badala ya tabia za Kiyahudi, kwa nini mnawalazimisha watu wa mataifa kuishi kama Wayahudi?”
But whanne Y sawy, that thei walkiden not riytli to the treuthe of the gospel, Y seide to Petre bifor alle men, If thou, that art a Jew, lyuest hethenlich, and not Jewelich, hou constreynest thou hethene men to bicome Jewis?
15 Sisi ambao ni Wayahudi kwa kuzaliwa na siyo “Watu wa mataifa wenye dhambi “
We Jewis of kynde, and not synful men of the hethene,
16 fahamu kwamba hakuna anayehesabiwa haki kwa matendo ya sheria. Badala yake, wanahesabiwa haki kwa imani ndani ya Yesu Kristo. Tulikuja kwa imani ndani ya Kristo Yesu ili kwamba tunahesabiwa haki kwa imani ndani ya Kristo na siyo kwa matendo ya sheria. Kwa matendo ya sheria hakuna mwili utakao hesabiwa haki.
knowen that a man is not iustified of the werkis of lawe, but bi the feith of Jhesu Crist; and we bileuen in Jhesu Crist, that we ben iustified of the feith of Crist, and not of the werkis of lawe. Wherfor of the werkis of lawe ech fleisch schal not be iustified.
17 Lakini kama tunapomtafuta Mungu kwa kutuhesabia haki ndani ya Kristo, tunajikuta wenyewe pia kuwa wenye dhambi, je Kristo alifanywa mtumwa wa dhambi? Siyo hivyo!
And if we sechen to be iustified in Crist, we oure silf ben foundun synful men, whether Crist be mynystre of synne?
18 Maana kama nikijenga tegemeo langu juu ya kutunza sheria, tegemeo ambalo nilikwisha liondoa, najionesha mwenyewe kuwa mvunja sheria.
God forbede. And if Y bylde ayen thingis that Y haue distruyed, Y make my silf a trespassour.
19 Kupitia sheria nilikufa kwa sheria, kwa hiyo napaswa kuishi kwa ajili ya Mungu.
For bi the lawe Y am deed to the lawe, and Y am fitchid to the crosse, that Y lyue to God with Crist.
20 Nimesulubiwa pamoja na Kristo. Si mimi tena ninayeishi, bali Kristo anaishi ndani yangu. Maisha ninayoishi katika mwili ninaishi kwa imani ndani ya Mwana wa Mungu, ambaye alinipenda na akajitoa kwa ajili yangu.
And now lyue not Y, but Crist lyueth in me. But that Y lyue now in fleisch, Y lyue in the feith of Goddis sone, that louede me, and yaf hym silf for me.
21 Siikani neema ya Mungu, maana kama haki ilikuwepo kupitia sheria, basi Kristo angekuwa amekufa bure.
Y caste not awey the grace of God; for if riytwisnesse be thoruy lawe, thanne Crist diede with out cause.
