< Galasian 2 >
1 Nyingring gola nyingpi nvgv koching bvku Barnabas gv lvkobv Jerusalem bv taitus nyika laala ila ngo vngkur minggv toku.
Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.
2 Pwknvyarnv ngam kaatam kolo ngo vngrung dubv ridukunyi mvngla vngtoku. Jentail nyi vdwgvlo ngo gamlv doin minggo jinam am rigvnv vdwgv doopam lo minbwk jitoku. Ngo ngoogv kudungkua rironam vmalo rigv dunam sum riram pakmu nwngmadu.
I went up in response to a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were held in high esteem, to make sure that I was not running or had not run in vain.
3 Ngam vngming gvnv Taitus, hv greek nyigo, vbvrijvka um ayakmvu lakv vla raitungtung nyomadu,
But not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he is a Greek.
4 Vbvrijvka Kvvgonv um ridubv mvngto. Mvngjwngnv aingbv gwnglwkla, so nyi vdwvv ngonugv apumara lo rulwkmvlwk la, ngonugv Jisu kristo gvlo akingobv sasoryaung bv rimindooming nam lvkwng lo makimai dubv ridu. Bunu ngonua pakbu mvdubv mvngto.
Now this matter arose because of the false brothers who were secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us.
5 Vbvritola gamlv jvjv nga bununo lvgabv achingamu jila rito, ngonu bunua achok goka vbvrimu mato.
But we did not yield to them in submission for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
6 Vbvritola oogv rigvdogvnv aingbv kaanam vdwa—ngo mindu ogulvgavbolo ngoogv lvgabv ogu angu sinvgo kaama: bunu ogu ngvdw Pwknvyarnv ao nga jwngkadaka madunv—rigvnv vdwa mindunv, nga ogu anwnv tamsar jinamgo kaama.
Now from those who were esteemed to be something (what sort of men they once were makes no difference to me; God does not show partiality)—those, I say, who were held in high esteem added nothing to me.
7 Vbvrimayabv, Jius vdwgvlo Pitarnyi gamlv japgo kardubv Pwknvyarnv gv ninyia kudungkua ridubv jinam aingchingbv, ngam Pwknvyarnv Jentail vdwgvlo gamlv japdubv nga kudungkua jito vla bunu kaatoku.
On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised.
8 Holvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv jwkrw lokv Pitarnyi jius vdwgv ara lokv apostol akobv mvnam aingbv, Jentail vdwgv ara lokv nga apostol akobv mvtoku.
For he who worked through Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised also worked through me in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
9 Jems, Pitar, okv jon bunu oogv rigvdogvnv kaanam vdwv, Pwknvyarnv nga so kudungkua sum ridubv jipv vla bunuka kaachin nyatoku; vkvlvgabv bunu Barnabas ngonyia laak am gakrwk minsuto, vbvrinamv ngonu mvnwng ngv richum akinnv vla kaachin kunam gobv rito. Barnabas okv ngo Jentail vdwgv aralo kudungkua ridubv okv bunu jius vdwgv aralo ridubv vla ngonu vbv turwk minsu toku.
When James, Cephas, and John, who were esteemed as pillars of the church, recognized the grace given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and that they should go to the circumcised.
10 Bunu mvnwng gv minam si ngonu bunugv aralo nyimaopin vdwa aya mvngpa jilakv vto okv vkvnv kudungkua rinwng namv ngo gvlo dodunv.
They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
11 Vbvritola Pitar vdwlo Antiok aalwk kubvdw, ngo nyi mvnwng gv tvvkulo yamtoku, ogulvgavbolo hv daadwvrw bv rimur rungtoku.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
12 Jems gv vngmunam nyi vdwgv aalwk madvbv, Pitar hoka Jentail mvngjwngnv vdwgv lvkobv dvnamtvngnam dvdungtvngdung minggvto. Vbvritola oogv nyi vdwgv aachi ronam kochingbv, hv lingkur toku okv Jentail vdwgv lvkobv dvbamtvngbam kuma toku, ogulvgavbolo hv bunua ayakmvu rirungdubv ripv vla minv vdwa busu nyala ritoku.
For he regularly ate with the Gentiles until certain men came from James. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself because he was afraid of the circumcision faction.
13 Kvvbi Jius mvngjwngnv vdwka Pitar gv busu gvku lokv riming gvrap toku; okv Barnabas ka vbvching akingobv bunugv rinam aingbv riminggvto.
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
14 Vdwlo ngo kaakunamv bunu yvvka jvjv rungnv Gamlv nga sorsimai lamtv lo vnggv madu, ngo Pitarnyi mvnwng gv tvvkulo minto, “no Jius ako, vjak no Jentail nyi aingbv ridu laka, Jius nyi aingbv rimadu. Vbvrinamv, ogubv, no Jentail nyi vdwa Jius nyi aingbv rililala gvvtv donvla?”
But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly in accordance with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “If yoʋ, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do yoʋ compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
15 Rinamgvbv, ngonu Jius lokv kuu bvngnamv okv “Jentail nyi rimur nvngvma,” ngonugv bunua minam aingbv.
We who are Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners
16 Vjak ngonu Jisu kristonyi mvngjwng mvngchiknam lokv nyigonv Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak doodunv vla ngonu chindu, Pvbv mingkur lo oguv vdudw vdwloka rimadu. Ngonuka, Kristo Jisunyi mvngjwng sidunv oogv kristo gvlo mvngjwng nam lokv Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak bv rila dunv, okv Pvbv rikur ngv oguvdw ngonu ho rimadu. Vkvlvgabv pvbv rikur ngv oguvvdw vbvrila yvvka Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak madunv.
know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by works of the law.
17 Vv kubolo ngonu kristo gvlo akin gobv ridula Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak bv ridubv gwngkwrikwdu, vbvrinam vvka Jentail nyi “rimurnv” vnam aingbv ngonuka kaakunamv rimur himpa sidu, svbv rinam si kristo rimur lvgabv kudungkua ripvnvri? Vv vdwloka vbv rinyumare.
But if we ourselves have also been found to be sinners while seeking to be justified in Christ, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!
18 Ngo Pvbv mvyak kunam sum ngo lvkodv mvtin rapkubolo, vv nyigonvgv pvbv mvyak kunam aingbv bv ngo awv kaatam sidu.
For if I build up again the very things that I tore down, I show myself to be a transgressor.
19 Vbvrijvka, Pvbv gv ara lokv mimbolo, ngo sitoku—Pvbv lokv mvki supvkunv—ngo Pwknvyarnv gv lvgabv turpvku lage. Kristo gv lvkobv ngooka dapolo sitak lwkming gvpvkunv.
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.
20 Vkvlvgabv, ngo soogv turdunam si ngo awv tursuma, vbvritola si kristo ngoogv arwng lo turdunv. Ho ngo vjak turladakla singduridunv si, ngo Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo ngam mvngjwng nam lokv turdunv, oogv ngam paknv okv vv ngo lvgabv ninyigv singdung ngam jilwk sunv ngv.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
21 Ngo Pwknvyarnv gv anyuaya nga darpak simare. Vbvritola nyinyidam gunv pvbv lokv Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak doodubolo, vv kristo gv siji namv oguguka anyung kamadu!
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
