Kalati 2

1 Saning hatlai palito laemh pacoengah, Titu doeh ka hoih moe, Barnaba hoi nawnto Jerusalem ah ka caeh let.

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

2 Kangphong lok hnuksakhaih hoiah ka caeh moe, Gentelnawk khaeah ka thuih ih tamthanglok hoih to nihcae khaeah ka thuih pae, toe ka sak tangcae tok hoi ka sak han koi tok to azom pui ah oh han ai ah, ahmin kamthang kaminawk khaeah ni tamquta hoiah ka thuih.

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 Kai hoi nawnto kaom Titu loe, Greek kami ah oh, toe tangzat hin ka aatsak nganga ai.

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

4 Kri Jesu ah a tawnh o ih loihhaih to khet moe, aicae misong ah ohsak hanah tamquta hoi aicae thungah a kun o sak ih, kahoih ai nawkamyanawk pongah ni to tiah a sak o:

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 toe loktang tamthanglok hoih nangcae khaeah oh thaih poe hanah, nihcae han ahmuen ka paawh pae o ai, atue maeto thung mataeng doeh ka paek pae o ai.

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

6 Lokpui ah kaom kaminawk hoi (kai hanah loe kawbaktih kami doeh lahhaih om ai: Sithaw loe kami mikhmai to khen ai: ) lokpui ah poek o ih kaminawk loe, kai han amekhaih tidoeh om ai.

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 Piter khaeah tangzat hin aahhaih kahoih tamthanglok paek baktih toengah, kai khaeah doeh tangzat hin aat ai kahoih tamthanglok to paek toeng, tito nihcae mah panoek o;

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 (tangzat hin aat kaminawk khaeah patoeh ih kami ah oh hanah, Piter nuiah toksah Anih loe, Gentelnawk khaeah toksah kai khaeah doeh toksak toeng: )

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

9 im tung baktiah kaom Jakob, Kipha hoi Johan cae mah, kai khaeah tahmenhaih paek boeh, tito panoek o naah, nihcae loe tangzat hin aat kaminawk khaeah caeh o moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk khaeah caeh hanah, kai hoi Barnaba to bantang ban ang sinh o.

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 Nihcae mah loe kamtang kaminawk ka pahnet o han ai khue ni koehhaih a tawnh o; kai mah doeh to tiah sak han ih ka koeh toeng.

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

11 Piter Antiok vangpui ah angzoh naah, kasae thuih koi kaom ah khosak pongah, mikhmai kangtong ah lok ka aek.

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

12 Jakob mah patoeh ih thoemto kaminawk angzo o ai karoek to, anih loe Gentelnawk hoi nawnto buhcaak: toe nihcae phak o naah loe, tangzat hin aat kaminawk to zit pongah, Gentel kaminawk hoi angkom ai ah kamhoe ah a oh ving.

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 To naah kalah Judah kaminawk doeh anih baktiah angsak o toeng; nihcae to tiah angsak o pongah Barnaba doeh nihcae baktiah oh ving.

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 Nihcae loe tamthanglok hoih baktiah katoengah toksah o ai, tito ka panoek naah, kai mah nihcae boih hmaa ah, Nang loe, Judah kami maeto ah na oh, toe Judah kami baktiah kho na sah ai, Gentelnawk baktiah ni kho na sak; to tiah na oh to mah tih hanah Gentelnawk to Judahnawk baktiah na ohsak nganga loe? tiah Piter khaeah ka thuih pae.

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 Aicae loe tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah Judah kami ah a oh o, kazae Gentelnawk baktiah a om o ai.

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

16 Kaalok pazuihaih rang hoiah kami mah toenghaih hnu ai, toe Jesu Kri tanghaih rang hoiah ni hnuk, tiah a panoek o; aicae mah kaalok pazuihaih hoiah na ai, Kri tanghaih rang hoiah toenghaih a hnuk o thai hanah, Kri Jesu to ni a tang o: kaalok pazuihaih rang hoiah mi kawbaktih doeh toenghaih hnu thai ai.

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 Kri rang hoiah toenghaih a pakrong o naah loe, aicae Judah kaminawk doeh kami zae ah ni a oh o toeng, to tiah om nahaeloe Kri loe zaehaih toksahkung ah maw oh? To tiah om ai.

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 phraek tangcae hmuen to ka sak let nahaeloe, kaimah hoi kaimah to zaehaih sah kami ah ni ka ohsak, tito amtueng.

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

19 Sithaw ah ka hing thai hanah, kaalok ah ka duek.

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

20 Kai loe Kri hoi nawnto thinglam pongah takhing boeh: to langlacadoeh ka hing; toe kai na ai, Kri kai thungah hing: vaihi taksa ah ka hinghaih loe, kai palung, kai han a hinghaih paek, Sithaw Capa tanghaih hoiah ni hing boeh.

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 Sithaw tahmenhaih to ka takhoe ving ai: kaalok pazuihaih rang hoiah toenghaih hnuk thai nahaeloe, Kri loe azom pui ah ni duek.

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