Galatians 2

1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

Muri iho, kia pahure nga tau tekau ma wha, ka haere ano ahau ki Hiruharama maua ko Panapa, me te mau ano i a Taituha hei hoa moku.

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.

Na te whakakitenga mai hoki ahau i haere ai, a whakatakotoria ana e ahau ki a ratou te rongopai e kauwhautia nei e ahau ki nga tauiwi; otiia i meatia pukutia ki te hunga whai ingoa, kei maumau kau taku oma onaianei, o mua ra ranei.

3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

Kihai ia a Taituha, toku hoa, he Kariki nei ia, i meinga kia kotia:

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,

Mo nga teina teka hoki i whakaurua pukutia mai, i haere puku mai nei ki te tirotiro i to matou ahua, he herekore i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kia whakataurekareka ai ratou i a matou.

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.

Kihai rawa matou i whakangawari iho, i rongo ki a ratou, ahakoa kotahi haora; he mea kia mau ai te pono o te rongopai ki a koutou.

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,

Otira ko te hunga whai ingoa ahakoa he aha ratou, kahore tahi he tikanga ki ahau: kahore a te Atua whakapai ki te kanohi tangata kihai ratou, te hunga whai ingoa, i whakaatu mea ki ahau:

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—

Engari to ratou kitenga kua tukua ki ahau te rongopai ki te kotingakore pera hoki me tera ki kotinga kua tukua ra ki a Pita;

8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—

Ko te kaimahi hoki i roto i a Pita hei apotoro ki te kotinga, mahi ana ano ia i roto i ahau ki nga tauiwi:

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.

Na, no ratou ka matau ki te aroha noa kua homai ki ahau, ka homai e Hemi, e Kipa, e Hoani, i meinga nei hei pou, nga ringa matau hei whakahoatanga ki a maua ko Panapa, mo maua kia haere ki nga tauiwi, ko ratou ia ki te kotinga:

10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

Otiia me mahara maua ki te hunga rawakore; he mea ano hoki tena i hihiko ai ahau.

11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

Na, i te taenga mai o Pita ki Anatioka, ka whakatika atu ahau ki a ia he kanohi, he kanohi, no te mea kua tika kia whakahengia ia.

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.

I mua hoki o te taenga mai o etahi i a Hemi, e kai tahi ana ia me nga tauiwi: no to ratou taenga mai ia, neke atu ana ia, momotu ke ana i a ia; i mataku hoki ki te hunga o te kotinga.

13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

I uru ano era atu Hurai ki tona tinihanga: heoi riro pu a Panapa i to ratou tinihanga.

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?

Otira, i toku kitenga kihai ratou i haere tika i runga i te pono o te rongopai, ka mea ahau ki a Pita i te aroaro o ratou katoa, ki te mea ko koe, he Hurai, ka whakatauiwi i a koe, a kahore e whakahurai, me pehea e taea ai e koe te mea nga tauiw i kia Hurai?

15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,

Ko tatou, ko nga Hurai tupu nei, ehara nei i te hunga hara no nga tauiwi,

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.

Kua mohio nei ehara nga mahi a te ture i te mea e tika ai te tangata, engari ko te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti; kua whakapono ano tatou ki a Ihu Karaiti, kia meinga ai te whakapono ki a te Karaiti hei tika mo tatou, kahore ia nga mahi a te ture; no te mea kahore rawa he kikokiko e tika i nga mahi o te ture.

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!

Na, i a tatou e whai nei kia whakatikaia i roto i a te Karaiti, ki te kitea tatou nei he hunga hara, he minita ranei a te Karaiti ki te hara? Kahore rapea.

18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

Ki te mea hoki ka hanga ano e ahau nga mea i wahia e ahau, e whakakite ana ahau i ahau ano, he tangata hara.

19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.

Na te ture hoki ahau i tupapaku ai ki te ture, kia ora ai ahau ki te Atua.

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.

Kua ripekatia tahitia ahau me te Karaiti: a e ora nei, ehara i te mea ko ahau, engari ko te Karaiti e ora ana i roto i ahau: e ora nei hoki ahau i roto i te kikokiko, he oranga na te whakapono ki te Tama a te Atua, i aroha nei ki ahau, i tuku ne i i a ia moku.

21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

Kahore aku whakakahore i te aroha noa o te Atua: mehemea hoki i na runga mai te tika i te ture, maumau mate noa a te Karaiti.
