Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Nikwakinda myaka kkumi ayiine ndakabweda ku Jelusalema a Bbanabbasi, ndakabweza Tito alakwe.
2 I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
Ndakinka nkambo kachiyubunuzyo akubapandulwida makani ngindakali kukambawuka akati kabamaasi. Ndakambula kunsiswa abalemekeka, kuti ndibe akanzambwenene kuti kuchijana - teendakachijana- chabuyo.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Asi nekuba kuti Tito wakali andime awakali mu Giliki, bakasungilizya kupalulwa.
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,
Bakwesu babeji bakaza munsiswa kuzolingula lwangunuko ndutulalo muli Kkilisito Jesu. Bakali kuyanda kutuchita bazike.
5 to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
Pesi tetwaka zumina kulibombya kulimbabo muchiindi chinini, kuchitila kuti simpe lyamakani mabotu likkalilile mulindinywe.
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
Asikulabo balikulangila kulemekwa ( kufumbwa mbubakabede takwe nichamba chintu kulindime, Leza talangilili chiimo) -abo, ndati, abo bakalikulangika nkabalemekeka tabayungizizye chintu kulindime.
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
Musiyano, bakazobona kuti ndakapegwa makani mabotu kulabo batapalwidwe, mbokunga Pita wakapegwa makani mabotu kulaabo bapalwidwe.
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
Nkambo Leza, wakabeleka kuli Pita kubutumwa kulibabo bapalwidwe, wakabeleka kulindime kulibamaasi.
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
Awo Jemusi, Kkefasi a Joni, abo bakali minsemu, bakabona luzyalo ndundakapegwa, bakamuzuminina Bbanabbasi ambebo. Bakatuzuminina kuti twiinke kuli bamaasi ambabo bayekulabo bapallwidwe.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Bakakumbila kutituyeeye bachete, nchintu nchindakalibambilide kuchita.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Asi Kafasi nakasika ku Antiyoki, ndakamukazya kumeso akwe nkambo wakalijana kalamulandu.
12 For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
Nkabatanasika balumi bakazwide kuli Jemusi, Kkefasi wakali abamaasi. Pesi nibakasika balum, wakaleka wakalisosolosya kulibamaasi. Wakayoowa abobakali kuyandisisya bupalule.
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Abobo boonse bamaJuda bakanjilana awe mukuwupawupa. Nikuba Bbanabbasi wakapambuka abo mukuwupawupa kwabo.
14 But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
Pesi nindakababona kuti kuchita kwabo takuli kwakutobela simpe lyamakani mabotu pe, Ndakati kuli Kkefasi kunembo lyabo boonse, “Kuti nkoli mu Juda nkoli kupona mbuli muJuda, ulalangila biyeni bamaasi kuti bapone mbuli bama Juda?”
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
Iswetubeni tuli maJuda mukuzyalwa pepe bamaasi basizibi,
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
Eno tulizi kuti takwe muntu ululamikwa amilimu yamulawu pesi kulusyomo muli Kkilisito Jesu. Iswe twakasyoma muli Kkilisito Jesu ikuti tululamikwe a lusyomo muli Kkilisito kutali kwamilimo yamulawu. Kumilimo yamulawu takwe nyama iyolulamikwa.
17 But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
Pesikuti twayanda kululamikwa muli Kkilisito, iswebo tuyojanwa nkatuli basizibi, lino Kkilisito mubelesi wabasizibi?
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Kuti nkelikuyakulula zintu nzindaka mwayide, ndili tondezya kuti ndichili sikutyola mulawu.
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
Kambo kwinda kumulawo ndakafwa kumulawo, kuti ndiponene Leza
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
Ndakabambulwa antomwe a Kkilisito, Takucheensi ndime upona, asikuti Kkilisito ngupona mulindime. Ibuumi lino mbwendipona munyama ndapona mulusyomo mumwana a Leza, Oyo wakandiyanda wakapelida kambo kangu.
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
Nsibikide kumbali luzyalo lwa Leza, ikuti bululami bwalikujanwa kwinda mumuulo, unoli Kkilisito wakafwida chabuyo!
