Vagalatia 2
1 kukila amaka kijigho na ghane une, uBalinaba palikimo nu Tiito tukaluta kange ku Yelusalemu.
Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2 nikalutile ulwakuva uNguluve akivonisie kulyune kuuti nikanoghile kuluta. nikavikile pa maaso ghave ilivangili lino nikapulisie ku vapanji. [ neke nikajovile kuluiso ku vano vakajovilue kuuva vimilisi]. nikavombile ndiki neke kuuti nanikale nikimbila nambe nikakimbile vuvule.
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 neke nambe uTiito juno alyale palikimo nune, juno alyale muYunani vakamulasimisie kukekua.
But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist upon even his being circumcised.
4 ili likahumile ulwakuva avanyalukolo vavudesi vakisile kuluiso kuposelesia uvuhulu vuno tulinavwo mwa Kilisite Yesu. vakanoghilue kukutuvomba usue tuve vasung'ua va ndaghilo.
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 natukajihumisie kukuvitika nambe ilisala limo neke kuuti ilivangili lya kyang'haani lisighale kisila ndavule lilivuo ulyumue.
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 neke vala vano vajovilue kuva valyale vimilisi navakahangile kimonga kulyune kino vakale vikukivomba nakikale nu luuvumbulilo kulyune. unguluve naikwitika ulughano luno lukililile lwa vaanhu.
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 pe pano vakanyaghile kuuti nitikilue kupulisia ilivangili ku vala vano navakekilue. lu lyale ndavule uPeteli apulisie ilivangili ku vano vakekilue.
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 ulwakuva uNguluve akavombile imbombo n'kate ja Peteli vwimila uvusung'ue ku vala vano vakekilue, kange akalyavombile imbombo n'kate jango ku vapanji.
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 unsiki ghuno uYakobo, uKefa nu Yohani, valyakagulike kuva valyajengile itembile, vakavumanyile uvumosi vuno nikapelilue, vakatwupile mulukong'ano une nu Barnaba. vakavombile ndiki neke kuuti, tulute kuvapanji, kange neke tuwesie kuluta kuvala vano vakekilue.
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 kange vakatulondile usue kukuvakumbua avakotofu. nune kange nikanoghilue kuvomba ndikio.
Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.
11 unsiki ghuno uKefa akisile ku Antikia, nikankanile pavwelu ulwakuva akahokile.
Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.
12 ye vakyale kukwisa avaanhu vamonga kuhuma kwa Yakobo, uKefa akale ilia palikimo navapanji. nekea avaanhu ava ye vikwisa akabuhila na kuvuka kuhuma ku vapanji akale ikwoghopa avaanhu vanovilonda kukekua.
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 vule vule navaYahudi vamonga vakalungine nu kefa mu vuhomeleng'ani uvu. amahumile ghake ghakale kuuti nambe uBarnaba akatolilue nu vuhomeleng'ani vwaave.
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 neke ye nilolile kuuti navakale vikulilutila ilivangili ilya kyang'haani, nikam'bula uKefa pa maaso ghave vooni,” ndeve umue mulivaYahudi neke mukukala mu vutavike uvwa vapanji nakukuvuleka uvwa vayahudi, kiki mukuvalasimisia avapanji kukukala ndavule avaYahudi?”
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 usue twevano tulivayahudi vakuholua, natulivapanji avanya sambi.”
You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
16 kagula kuuti nakwale juno ivalilua ikyang'haani mu maghendele gha ndaghilo. looli vivalilua ikyang'haani ku lwitiko nkate ja Kilisite Yesu neke kuuti tuvalilua ikyang'haani ku lwitiko n'kate ja Kilisite sio kuuti kumaghendele gha ndaghilo. mu maghendele gha ndaghilo kusila m'bili ghuno ghulivalilua ikyang'haani.
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 neke pano tukumulonda uNguluve kwa kutuvalila ikyang'haani n'kate ja Kilisite, tukujagha najusue tuli ni sambi, pe uKilisite akavombilue kuuva nyasambi? na ndikio!
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 ulwakuva ndeve nivika uluhuvilo lwango kuvika indaghilo, uluhuvilo luno nikavusisie, nikujivonesia june kuva nilin'denya ndaghilo.
Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;
19 kukilila indaghilo nikawile mu ndaghilo, lino ninoghile kukukala vwimila uNguluve.
for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.
20 nipumwike palikimo nu Kilisite na nene kange nejuno nikukala, looli uKilisite ikukala n'kate jango. uvwumi vuno nikukala mu m'bili nikukala ku lwitiko n'kate ja mwa Nguluve juno akanighanile na kukujihumia vwimila jango.
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 nanikuvukana uvumosi vwa Nguluve ulwakuva ndeve ikyang'haani pwejikale kukilila indaghilo, pe uKilisite nde akaile vuvule.
I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain."
