< Galatians 2 >
1 Lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́rìnlá, ni mo tún gòkè lọ sì Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú Barnaba, mo sì mú Titu lọ pẹ̀lú mi.
Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.
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.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n a kò fi agbára mú Titu tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi, ẹni tí í ṣe ara Giriki láti kọlà.
But not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he is a Greek.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised.
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 worked through Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised also worked through me in my apostleship 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.
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 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.
They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager 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, because he was blameworthy.
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.
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 Àwọn Júù tí ó kù pawọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ láti jùmọ̀ ṣe àgàbàgebè, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọn sì fi àgàbàgebè wọn si Barnaba lọ́nà.
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
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 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 “Àwa tí i ṣe Júù nípa ìbí, tí kì i sí ì ṣe aláìkọlà ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀,
We who are Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners
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.
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 “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!
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 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 build up again the very things that I tore down, I show myself to be a transgressor.
19 “Nítorí pé nípa òfin, mo tí di òkú sí òfin, kí èmi lè wà láààyè sí Ọlọ́run.
For through the law I died to the law so that I might 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, 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 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 nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
