< Kaletia 2 >

1 Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea u toe ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema mo Pānepasa, peau ʻave ʻa Taitusi foki.
Then after fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking also Titus with me;
2 Naʻaku ʻalu hake ʻi hono fakahā mai, ʻo fakaʻilo atu kiate kinautolu ʻae ongoongolelei ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ou malangaʻaki ki he ngaahi Senitaile, ka ʻi he fufū pe kiate kinautolu taki taha naʻe ongoongo, telia naʻa ʻiloange, ʻoku ou lele pe kuo u lele taʻeʻaonga.
but I went up according to revelation; and I presented to them the gospel which I am preaching among the Gentiles, but privately to the prominent ones, lest perhaps I am running, or did run, in vain.
3 Pea ko Taitusi, ko e Kiliki, naʻe ʻiate au ia, naʻe ʻikai siʻi te nau fekau ke kamu ia:
But neither was Titus the one with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised:
4 Pea koeʻuhi ko e kāinga loi naʻe omi fakafufū, ʻonau hū fakafufū mai ke matakiʻi ʻetau tauʻatāina, ʻaia ʻoku tau maʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, koeʻuhi ke nau fakapōpulaʻi ʻakitautolu:
but on account of the false brethren having crept in, who came in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they shall bring us into bondage:
5 Pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te mau fakavaivai ki ai ʻi ha feituʻulaʻā siʻi ʻe taha; koeʻuhi ke ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei.
to whom I rendered not submission for an hour; in order that the truth of the gospel may abide with you.
6 Pea koeʻuhi ko kinautolu naʻe lahi hake, (neongo ʻenau lahi, koeʻumaʻā ia kiate au: ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ʻae ʻOtua ki he tangata: ) he ko kinautolu naʻe lahi, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahā ha meʻa foʻou kiate au:
But of those seeming to be something what they were at that time makes no difference to me: God does not receive the face of man: for those seeming to me to be prominent added nothing extra:
7 Kae kehe, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo tuku kiate au ʻae ongoongolelei ki he taʻekamu, ʻo hangē [ko e tuku ]kia Pita ʻaia ʻoe kamu;
but on the contrary, seeing that I am intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, like Peter of the circumcision,
8 (He ko ia naʻa ne ngāue mālohi ʻia Pita ki he ngāue fakaʻaposetolo ki he kamu, ko ia ia naʻe mālohi ʻiate au ki he kakai Senitaile: )
for the one having wrought with Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision also wrought with me unto the Gentiles:
9 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Semisi, mo Kifasi, mo Sione, ʻakinautolu naʻe hangē ko e ngaahi pou, ki he ʻofa kuo foaki kiate au, naʻa nau tuku mai kiate au mo Pānepasa ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe feʻofoʻofani: ke ma [ʻalu ]ki he kakai Senitaile, ka ko kinautolu ki he kamu.
and having known the grace of God which was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who seem to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;
10 [ʻO nau pehē ]pe, kema manatu ki he kakai masiva; ʻae meʻa ko ia foki naʻaku fie fai ki ai.
only that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
11 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Pita ki ʻAniteoke, naʻaku tuʻu hake ʻo valoki ia, koeʻuhi naʻe totonu hono valokiʻi.
And when Cephas came into Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to blame.
12 Koeʻuhi ʻi he teʻeki ai haʻu ʻae niʻihi mei ʻa Semisi, naʻe kai fakataha ia mo e kakai Senitaile: ka ʻi heʻenau hoko mai, naʻe mahuʻi ʻo ne fakamavae ia, ko e manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoe kamu.
For before certain ones came from James, he was eating along with the Gentiles: but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13 Pea fai mālualoi mo ia ʻa hono toe ʻoe kau Siu foki; ko ia naʻe ʻauhia ai foki ʻa Pānepasa ʻi heʻenau mālualoi.
And the rest of the Jews also reciprocated with him; so that even Barnabas was led away by their dissimulation.
14 Ka ʻi heʻeku mamata naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻaʻeva totonu, ʻo fakatatau ki he moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei, ne u pehē ai kia Pita, ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē, “Kapau ko koe, ko e Siu, ʻoku ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻoe kakai Senitaile, kae ʻikai hangē ko e kakai Siu, ko e hā ʻoku ke puleʻi ai ʻae kakai Senitaile ke fai ʻo hangē ko e kakai Siu?”
But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If you being a Jew are living like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how do you compel the Gentiles to judaize?
15 Ko kitautolu ʻoku tupu ko e kakai Siu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e “kau angahala ʻae kakai Senitaile,”
We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 ‌ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhia ha tangata ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono, ka ʻi he tui ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, kuo tau tui kia Sisu Kalaisi, koeʻuhi ke fakatonuhia ʻakitautolu ʻe he tui ʻa Kalaisi, kae ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono: he ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhiaʻi ha tokotaha ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono.
knowing that a man is not justified by works of law, but through the faith of Christ Jesus, and we have believed into Christ Jesus, in order that we may be justified by faith of Christ, and not by works of law, because by works of law no flesh shall be justified.
17 Pea ka lolotonga ʻetau kumi ke tau tonuhia meia Kalaisi, kuo ʻilo ʻakitautolu ko e kau angahala, pea kuo hoko ai ʻa Kalaisi ko e tauhi ʻoe angahala? ʻIkai ʻaupito.
But if seeking to be justified in Christ, we may also be found sinners, then is Christ the minister of sin? it could not be so.
18 He kapau ʻoku ou toe langaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻaku fakaʻauha, ta ʻoku ou ngaohi au ko e angahala.
For if I again build the things which I have destroyed, I constitute myself a transgressor.
19 He ko e meʻa ʻi he fono kuo mate ai au ki he fono, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ki he ʻOtua.
For I through law died to law, in, order that I may live unto God.
20 Kuo tutuki au ke mate ʻo hangē ko Kalaisi: ka ʻoku ou moʻui; ka ʻoku ʻikai ko au, ka ko Kalaisi ʻoku moʻui ʻiate au: pea ko ʻeku moʻui eni ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ou moʻui ʻi he tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa kiate au, ʻo ne foaki ia ʻe ia koeʻuhi ko au.
I am crucified along with Christ; and I live no longer, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 ‌ʻOku ʻikai te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua: he kapau ʻoku mei he fono ʻae fakatonuhia, pea tā kuo pekia taʻeʻaonga ʻa Kalaisi.
I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness was through law, then Christ died gratuitiously.
