Galatians 2
1 Lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́rìnlá, ni mo tún gòkè lọ sì Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú Barnaba, mo sì mú Titu lọ pẹ̀lú mi.
Fourteen years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
2 Mo gòkè lọ nípa ohun ti a fihàn mi, mo fi ìyìnrere náà tí mo ń wàásù láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà yé àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ẹni ńlá nínú wọn, èyí i nì ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, kí èmi kí ó má ba á sáré, tàbí kí ó máa ba à jẹ́ pé mo ti sáré lásán.
It was in obedience to a revelation that I went; and I laid before the apostles the good news that I am proclaiming among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those who are thought highly of because I was afraid that I might possibly be taking, or might have already taken, a course which would prove useless.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n a kò fi agbára mú Titu tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi, ẹni tí í ṣe ara Giriki láti kọlà.
Yet even my companion, Titus, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised.
4 Ọ̀rọ̀ yìí wáyé nítorí àwọn èké arákùnrin tí wọn yọ́ wọ inú àárín wa láti yọ́ òmìnira wa wò, èyí tí àwa ni nínú Kristi Jesu, kí wọn lè mú wa wá sínú ìdè.
But, because of those who pretended to be followers who had stolen in, the intruders who had crept in to spy on the liberty which we have through union with Christ Jesus, in order to bring us back to slavery –
5 Àwọn ẹni ti a kò fún ni àǹfààní láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọn fún ìṣẹ́jú kan; kí ẹ̀yin kí o lè máa tẹ̀síwájú nínú òtítọ́ ìyìnrere náà.
Why, we did not for a moment yield submission to them, so that the truth of the good news might be yours always!
6 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti àwọn tí ó dàbí ẹni pàtàkì—ohunkóhun tí ó wù kì wọn jásí, kò jẹ́ nǹkan kan fún mi; Ọlọ́run kò fi bí ẹnikẹ́ni ṣe rí ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀—àwọn ènìyàn yìí kò fi ohunkóhun kún ọ̀rọ̀ mi.
Of those who are thought somewhat highly of – what they once were makes no difference to me; God does not recognise human distinctions – those, I say, who are thought highly of added nothing to my message.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, nígbà tí wọn rí i pé a tí fi ìyìnrere tí àwọn aláìkọlà le mi lọ́wọ́, bí a tí fi ìyìnrere tí àwọn onílà lé Peteru lọ́wọ́.
On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the good news for the Gentiles, just as Peter had been for the Jews.
8 Nítorí Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó ṣiṣẹ́ nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ Peteru gẹ́gẹ́ bí aposteli sí àwọn Júù, òun kan náà ni ó ṣiṣẹ́ nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí aposteli sí àwọn aláìkọlà.
For he who gave Peter power for his mission to the Jews gave me, also, power to go to the Gentiles.
9 Jakọbu, Peteru, àti Johanu, àwọn ẹni tí ó dàbí ọ̀wọ́n, fún èmi àti Barnaba ni ọwọ́ ọ̀tún ìdàpọ̀ nígbà tí wọ́n rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ tí a fi fún mi, wọ́n sì gbà pé kí àwa náà tọ àwọn aláìkọlà lọ, nígbà ti àwọn náà lọ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn Júù.
Recognising the charge entrusted to me, James, Peter, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the church, openly acknowledged Barnabas and me as fellow workers, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.
10 Ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n béèrè fún ni wí pé, kí a máa rántí àwọn tálákà, ohun kan náà gan an tí mo ń làkàkà láti ṣe.
Only we were to remember the poor – the thing I was myself anxious to do.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Peteru wá sí Antioku, mo takò ó lójú ara rẹ̀, nítorí tí ó jẹ̀bi, mo sì bá a wí.
But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face; for he stood self-condemned.
12 Nítorí pé kí àwọn kan tí ó ti ọ̀dọ̀ Jakọbu wá tó dé, ó ti ń ba àwọn aláìkọlà jẹun; ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n dé, ó fàsẹ́yìn, ó sì ya ara rẹ̀ sọ́tọ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn aláìkọlà nítorí ó bẹ̀rù àwọn ti ó kọlà.
Before certain persons came from James, he had been in the habit of eating with the Gentile converts; but, when they came, he began to withdraw and hold aloof, because he was afraid of offending those who still held to circumcision.
13 Àwọn Júù tí ó kù pawọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ láti jùmọ̀ ṣe àgàbàgebè, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọn sì fi àgàbàgebè wọn si Barnaba lọ́nà.
The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.
14 Nígbà tí mo rí i pé wọn kò rìn déédé gẹ́gẹ́ bí òtítọ́ ìyìnrere, mo wí fún Peteru níwájú gbogbo wọn pé, “Bí ìwọ, tí ì ṣe Júù ba ń rìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà àwọn kèfèrí, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń fi agbára mu àwọn kèfèrí láti máa rìn bí àwọn Júù?
But, when I saw that they were not dealing straightforwardly with the truth of the good news, I said to Peter, before them all, ‘If you, who were born a Jew, adopt Gentile customs, instead of Jewish, why are you trying to compel the Gentile converts to adopt Jewish customs?’
15 “Àwa tí i ṣe Júù nípa ìbí, tí kì i sí ì ṣe aláìkọlà ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀,
We, though we are Jews by birth and not sinners of Gentile origin, know that no one is pronounced righteous as the result of obedience to Law, but only through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 tí a mọ̀ pé a kò dá ẹnikẹ́ni láre nípa iṣẹ́ òfin, bí kò ṣe nípa ìgbàgbọ́ nínú Jesu Kristi, àní àwa pẹ̀lú gbà Jesu Kristi gbọ́, kí a bá a lè dá wa láre nípa ìgbàgbọ́ tí Kristi, kì í sì i ṣe nípa iṣẹ́ òfin, nítorí pé nípa iṣẹ́ òfin kò sí ènìyàn kan tí a ó dá láre.
So we placed our faith in Christ Jesus, in order that we might be pronounced righteous, as the result of faith in Christ, and not of obedience to Law; for such obedience will not result in even one soul’s being pronounced righteous.
17 “Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwa bá ń wá ọ̀nà láti rí ìdáláre nípa Kristi, ó di ẹ̀rí wí pé àwa pẹ̀lú jẹ́ ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ǹjẹ́ èyí ha jásí wí pé Kristi ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bí? Kí a má rí ì!
If, while seeking to be pronounced righteous through union with Christ, we were ourselves seen to be sinners, would that make Christ an agent of sin? Heaven forbid!
18 Nítorí pé bí mo bá sì tún gbé àwọn ohun tí mo tí wó palẹ̀ ró, mo fi ara mi hàn bí arúfin.
For, if I rebuild the things that I pulled down, I prove myself to have done wrong.
19 “Nítorí pé nípa òfin, mo tí di òkú sí òfin, kí èmi lè wà láààyè sí Ọlọ́run.
I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.
20 A ti kàn mí mọ́ àgbélébùú pẹ̀lú Kristi, èmí kò sì wà láààyè mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n Kristi ń gbé inú mi wíwà tí mo sì wà láààyè nínú ara, mo wà láààyè nínú ìgbàgbọ́ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí o fẹ́ mi, tí ó sì fi òun tìkára rẹ̀ fún mi.
I have been crucified with Christ. So it is no longer I that live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and, as for my present earthly life, I am living it by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 Èmi kò ya oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run sí apá kan, nítorí pé bí a bá le ti ipasẹ̀ òfin jèrè òdodo, a jẹ́ pé Kristi kú lásán.”
I do not reject the love of God. If righteousness comes through Law, then there was no need for Christ to die!
