Kalatih 2

1 Acunüng, kum xaleikphyü angvei käna Tihtuh pi cehpüi lü, Banabah am Jerusalem khawa kani hang cit beki.

Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];

2 Pamhnam naw ka ceh vaia mdanak na mhmuh se ka citkia kyaki. Khyangmjükce he veia ka sang khawia thangkdaw cun angvai he veia pi ngbämnaka ka jah mtheh khaiki. Ajana kcün üng ka bilawh pänga pi kyase atuh ka bilawha pi kyase amdanga akya vai am ka ngaiki.

and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;

3 Ka hlawnga awmki, Tihtuh cun Krik khyanga kyase pi amthuia a vun am mawihsak u.

(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised; )

4 Avang naw ta a vun mawih vai ami täng. Khritaw Jesuh üng kami taka lätnaka mawng hmu khai hea jumeiki hlawk hlawka ahina khyang he kami ksunga anghmüa lutki he. Tamna ami jah pawh hlü.

and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

5 Cunsepi thangkdaw, ngthungtak cun sungkham akyanak vaia phäha asängca hman pi ami ngthua keha am awm u nawng.

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

6 Mkhawnga kya kyaw u sepi keia phäha ta ami hngalangnak am ve. Pamhnam naw akpung da teng lü ä mtaiki. Khyang ngvai hea veia ka pyen hlü ta, “Akthai mcäinak keia phäha am hlü.”

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat — whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

7 Mhnam naw Pita Judah he veia thangkdaw sang khaia khutbi a peta kba, kei pi ani naw khyangmjükce he veia thangkdaw sangnak khut a na petia hmuki he.

but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,

8 Judah he phäha Pita ngsäa mcawna kba, kei pi Pamhnama johit am khyangmjükce he phäha ngsäa mcawna ka kyaki.

(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles, )

9 Mkhawnga ami jah ngaih Jakuk, Pita la Johan naw, Pamhnam naw ahina khutbi kei üng pi na peki ti ngsingsaki he. Acunakyase kami van kami khüi hmaihki ti msingnak vaia Banabah la kei jah hnuksetki he. Banabah la kei khyangmjükce he ksunga khutbi pawh ning se amimi cun Judah he ksunga khutbi pawh khai hea kami mkhyäpki.

and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that we [should go] to the nations, and they to the circumcision;

10 Ami ksunga khuikha m'yenkseki he jah süm nglät vaia avan naw ami jah mcäi, acuna khutbi cun ka pawh vaia kamät naw pi akcüka ka bü kunga kyaki.

only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.

11 Acunüng, Pita Antioka law se khyang he maa ka ksenak. Hma kungkia kyase ni.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:

12 Jakuka jah tüih lawa khyang hea am ami pha law ham üng Pita cun jumeiki khyangmjükce am atänga ei hmaihki. Acunsepi khyang hea pha law käna, vun mawih vai ktungnaki he jah kyüh lü khyangmjükce he hlawnga am ei lü pyaiki.

for before that certain came from James, he ate with [those of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;

13 Jumeikia Judah khyang he pi Pita am atänga yailei hnga u lü awmki he naw Banabah pi yaileina u se ami hlawnga ngkhawki.

and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.

14 Thangkdaw üng am ami cehcawn ka jah ksing law üng Pitaa veia, “Nang Judah khyanga na kyaki cunsepi Judah khyanga mäiha am xüngsei lü khyangmjükce hea mäiha na xüngseiki. Acunüng ihawkba khyangmjükce he Judah khyang hea kba xüngsei khai hea amthuia na jah ngtünsaki ni?” ti lü avana ma ka pyen.

But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

15 Khyang he naw “Khyangka khyangmjükcea” ami jah suia kba am kya u lü, akcanga Judah khyanga kami hmi lawki.

We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,

16 Cunsepi khyang cun Thuma pyen a pawhnak am ngdüngdaikia am kya lü, Jesuh Khritaw a jumeinak däng am ni ngdüngdaikia akya ve. Keimi pi Khritaw kami jumnak am Pamhnam üng kami ngsungpyun khaia Khritaw Jesuh kami jumeiki. Thum kami läka phäha am kya. U pi Thuma ti pawh lü am mi ngsungpyun thei.

but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

17 Acunüng Khritaw üng Pamhnama veia ngsungpyun vai kami kthanaka phäha Khyangmjükce he mäiha khyangka kami kya hngaki aw? Khritaw cun mkhyekat jah pawh sakia kyaki aw? Am kya.

Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

18 Ka kpyeh pänga Thuma ninge läk vaia ka tünei be üngta, kamät cun khyang hea veia Thum kpyehkia ka ngdan saki ni.

For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.

19 Thuma awma küt üng kei cun ka thiki. Isetiakyaküng Thum naw a na hnima kyaki. Acun cun Pamhnama phäha ka xünseinak vaia phäha kyaki ni. Kei cun Khritaw am atänga ania kutlamktunga khana ka thiki.

For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.

20 Acunakyase kamät am xüng ti veng. Khritaw kei üng xüngki. Atuh ka xünak cun na mhläkphya na lü amäta xünak na pekia Pamhnama Capa ka jumnak am ni ka xün ve.

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

21 Pamhnama bäkhäknak am ma veng. Thuma phäha ngdüngdainak yah theia akya üng Khritaw amdanga thikia kya khai.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
