Galatians 2
1 Kumi mimvu mi nya bu mivioka, ndiyenda ku Yelusalemi va kimosi ayi Balinabasi. Ndinata Tite.
Fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.
2 Ndiyenda ku Yelusalemi mu tumukina tsongolo yi Nzambi. Ndiba sudikisa Nsamu Wumboti wowo ndieti longa kuidi Bapakanu. Ndivanga buawu mu kinsueki kuidi batu bobo baba monikanga banga mintuadisi bila ndisia zola ko ti kisalu kiama kithama ayi ki buabu kimonika kiphamba.
But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain.
3 Vayi ka diambu ko Tite, wuba diata yama, niandi wuba muisi Ngelese, kasia kuiku ko mu zengisa nituꞌandi yi kibakala.
But even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised;
4 Momo mavangimina mu diambu di bakhomba zi luvunu zifielumuka kota va tuba muingi zizaba boso buididi kiphuanza kieto kitutambula kuidi Yesu Klisto; mayindu mawu maba mu kutukitula bavika.
and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 Vayi tumanga kueto kuba tumukina, ka diambu ko mu thangu yimosi muingi kiedika ki Nsamu Wumboti kizingila mu beno.
to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 Vayi mu diambu di batu bobo beti kukibanzila ti badi mintuadisi, ka diambu ko buevi babela; diodi disi kuthala ko, bila Nzambi katalanga zizi ko. Batu bobo basia buela kadi diambu dimosi ko mu malongi mama.
And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.
7 Muaki bamona ti Nzambi wuthuma mu longa Nsamu Wumboti kuidi Bapakanu banga Piela bu katumunu kuidi Bayuda.
But on the contrary, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision;
8 Bila mutu wowo wusadila Piela muba mvuala kuidi Bayuda; niandi wusala mu minu muba mvuala kuidi Bapakanu.
(for He who wrought effectually in Peter as to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought effectually also in me as to the gentiles: )
9 Diawu Zaki, Piela ayi Yowani, bobo badi banga makunzi ma dibundu, bu bamona nlemvo wowo nditambula, bayiza kutuvana, Balinabasi ayi minu, mboti yoyo yimmonisa ti tueka mu kithuadi kimosi. Batukindisa mu kuenda kuidi Bapakanu bosi bawu benda kuidi Bayuda.
and knowing the grace which was given to me; James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars of the church, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
10 Batukamba tutebukilanga minsukami moyo. Buawu ndieta vanga.
Only desiring that we would remember the poor: which I also was forward to do.
11 Vayi Piela bu kayiza ku Antioshe; ndimanga kunkikinina va meso ma batu bila mu nzimbala kaba.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was indeed to be blamed.
12 Bila tuamina batu bobo baba kuidi Zaki biza, Piela wuba dianga va kimosi ayi Bapakanu. Vayi batu bobo baba kuidi Zaki bu bayiza, Piela wukivengumuna va ndambu ayi wuvambana yawu bila boma kamona Bayuda.
For before certain men came from James, he did eat with the gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.
13 Bayuda bankaka bavukumuka mu mayuya ayi Balinabasi mamvandi wuvukumuka mu mayuya mawu.
And the rest of the Jews dissembled also with him; so that Barnabas too was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 Vayi bu ndimona ti bakadi buela diata mu bukiedika, boso buididi Nsamu Wumboti, buna nditubidila Piela va meso ma batu boso ti: “Enati ngeyo Nyuda, wunzingila banga bu nzingilanga Bapakanu vayi bika banga Bayuda, buna buevi wulembo kuikila Bapakanu bazingila banga bueta zingila Bayuda e?”
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, ---If thou, who art a Jew, livest sometimes after the manner of the gentiles, and not like the Jews, why dost thou now in a manner compel the gentiles to judaize?
15 Beto tuidi Bayuda tona mu mbutukuluꞌeto vayi tuisi bankua masumu ko va khatitsika Bapakanu.
We, who are Jews by birth, and not sinners of the gentiles,
16 Muaki tuzebi bumboti ti mutu kalendi kituka ko wusonga mu kinzikanga mavanga ma mina, vayi mu minu kaka mu Yesu Klisto. Diawu beto mamveto tuwilukila Yesu Klisto muingi tukitulu batu basonga mu minu Klisto vayi bika mu mavanga ma mina; bila kuisi ko mutu wela kitulu wusonga mu diambu di kinzikanga mavanga ma mina.
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 Vayi bu tulembo tombi monika batu basonga mu Klisto, diodi dimmonisa ti beto mamveto tuidi bankua masumu. Diodi dinsundula ti Klisto widi mvangi wu masumu e? Nana.
But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sin?
18 Bila enati mambu momo nditiolumuna minu veka, ndikikitudi buela kumatunga diaka, buna ndieka mbundudi wu mina.
God forbid. And if I build again the same things which I demolished, I shew myself a transgressor: for I through the law am dead to the law,
19 Bila mu diambu di mina, minu ndifua muingi ndizinga mu Nzambi;
that I might live unto God.
20 Minu ndibandu va dikulusi va kimosi ayi Klisto. Kadi sia ti minu ndinzinga vayi Klisto niandi wunzinga mu minu. Ayi luzingu ndilembo zingi mu nsuni, mu minu ndilembo luzingila; minu kioki kidi yama mu Muana wu Nzambi, mutu wowo wunzola ayi wukiyekula niandi veka mu diambu diama.
I am crucified with Christ; yet I live, though no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave up himself for me.
21 Ndikadi vunza nlemvo wu Nzambi, bila enati mu Mina mutu kalenda kitukila wusonga buna mu phamba kuandi Klisto kafuila.
I do not frustate the grace of God: for if righteousness be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
