< Galatians 2 >

1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Mme erile morago ga dingwaga di le lesome le bone ka boela kwa Jerusalema gape, ka nako eo ke ne ke patilwe ke Barenabase; mme Tito le ene a tsamaya le rona.
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.
Ke ne ka ya teng ke tshotse ditaelo tse di tlhomameng di tswa kwa Modimong gore ke ye go gakololana le bakaulengwe teng koo kaga molaetsa o ke neng ke o rerela Badichaba. Ke ne ka buisanya le baeteledipele ba phuthego kwa thoko gore botlhe ba tlhaloganye se ke neng ke ntse ke se ruta, mme ke ne ka solofela gore ba tlaa dumela gore di siame.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Mme ba ne ba dumela; ga ba ise ba ke ba rate le gore Tito yo o neng a mpatile a rupisiwe, ntswa e ne e le Modichaba.
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,
Le potso eo tota e ka bo e sa bodiwa fa e se ka ntlha ya bangwe ba go kabong gotwe ke “Bakeresete” teng koo, mme e le Bakeresete ba e seng bone—ba ba neng ba tletse go re tsaya dinopolo le go bona gore kgololesego e re neng re e e ja monate mo go Keresete Jesu e ne e le efe, jaaka gore a re ne re obamela melao ya Sejuta kgotsa nnyaa. Ba ne ba leka go re golegelela rotlhe mo melaong ya bone ya Sejuta, makgoba mo dikeetaneng.
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.
Mme ga re a ka ra reetsa le fa e le ka lobakanyana, gonne re ne re sa batle go lo tlhakanya ditlhogo ka go akanya gore poloko e ka bonwa ka go rupisiwa le ka go obamela melao ya Sejuta.
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,
Mme baeteledipele ba bagolo ba phuthego ba ba neng ba le teng koo ba tlhoka se ba neng ba ka tlatsa ka sone se ke neng ke se rera. (Legale go nna baeteledipele ba bagolo ga bone go ne go sa reye sepe mo go nna, gonne rotlhe re tshwana fela mo Modimong).
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—
Tota erile Petoro le Jakobe le Johane, ba ba neng ba itsege e le dipinagare tsa phuthego, ba bona ka fa Modimo o ntirisitseng ka teng thata mo go gapeng Badichaba, fela jaaka Petoro a ne a segofaditswe thata mo go rereleng Bajuta, gonne Modimo o ne o neela mongwe le mongwe wa rona dineo tsa botlhokwa, ba ne ba re neela diatla, Barenabase le nna ba bo ba re kgothatsa gore re tswelele ka tlhamalalo mo go rereleng Badichaba fa bone ba tswelela ka thero ya bone mo Bajuteng.
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
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.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Kgakololo fela e ba neng ba e ntsha e ne e le ya gore re tshwanetse go gakologelwa go thusa bahumanegi ka malatsi otlhe, mme le nna ke ne ke tlhwaafaletse gone go dira jalo.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Mme erile fa Petoro a tla mo Antioka ka tshwanelwa ke go mo ganetsa mo pontsheng, ke gatelela thata kgatlhanong le se a neng a se dira gonne se ne se sa siama gotlhelele.
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.
Gonne erile fela lwa ntlha fa a goroga a bo a a ja le Bakeresete ba Badichaba (ba ba neng ba sa tshwenyege ka go rupa le melao e mengwe e mentsi ya Sejuta). Mme erile moraganyana fa ditsala dingwe tsa ga Jakobe tsa Sejuta di tla, a seka a tlhola a a ja le Badichaba gonne o ne a tshaba se badira melao ba ba Sejuta ba tlaa se buang, gonne ba ne ba sa khutlise go bua ba re, thupiso e botlhokwa mo polokong;
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
mme Bakeresete botlhe ba Bajuta le Barenabase tota ba fetoga baitimokanyi, ba etsa Petoro, le fa tota ba ne ba tlhaloganya botoka.
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?
Erile fa ke bona se se diragalang le gore ba ne ba sa ikanyege kaga se tota ba neng ba se dumela, le gore ba ne ba sa sala morago boammaaruri jwa Mafoko a a Molemo, ka raya Petoro fa pele ga ba bangwe botlhe ka re, “Le fa wena o le Mojuta ka go tsalwa, ga o bolo go latlha melao ya Sejuta; jalo he, ke eng fa ka tshoganetso o leka gore badichaba ba, ba e obamela?
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
Wena le nna re Bajuta ka go tsalwa, e seng Badichaba fela ba baleofi,
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.
mme rona Bakeresete ba Bajuta re santse re itse sentle gore ga re kake ra nna tshiamo mo Modimong ka go tshegetsa melao ya rona ya Sejuta, fa e se ka tumelo mo go Jesu Keresete go tlosa maleo a rona. Mme jalo he le rona, re ikantse Jesu Keresete, gore re tle re amogelwe ke Modimo ka ntlha ya tumelo, eseng ka ntlha ya gore re obametse melao ya Sejuta. Gonne ga go ope yo o tlaa bolokwang ka ntlha ya go e obamela.”
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!
Mme re tlaa reng fa re ikanya Keresete go re boloka mme re bo re iphitlhela re le molato, le gore ga re kake ra bolokwa kwa ntle ga go rupisiwa le go obamela melao e mengwe yotlhe ya Sejuta? A ga re na go tlhoka gore re re tumelo mo go Keresete e re ntshitse mo boammaruring e re koafaditse? Nnyaa, ga go a nna jalo, gonne Modimo ga o letlelele ope go nna pelokgale ka go akanya megopolo e e ntseng jalo kaga Morena wa rona.
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Ka megopolo e e ntseng jalo, re baleofi fa re simolola gape go aga dilo tse dikgologolo tse ke ntseng ke di senya, tsa go leka go bolokwa ka go tshegetsa melao ya Sejuta,
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
gonne ke ka ntlha ya go bala Dikwalo mo ke ileng ka lemoga gore go amogelwa ke Modimo go tla ka go dumela mo go Keresete.
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.
Ke bapotswe le Keresete: mme jaanong ga ke sa tlhole ke tshela, mme Keresete o tshela mo go nna. Mme botshelo tota jo jaanong ke nang najo mo mmeleng o, ke ka ntlha ya go ikanya Morwa Modimo, yo o nthatileng a bo a iintshetsa setlhabelo.
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
Ga ke mongwe wa ba ba tsayang loso lwa ga Keresete e le lefela. Gonne fa e le gore re ne re ka bolokwa ke go tshegetsa melao ya Sejuta, jalo go ne go sa tlhokafale gore Keresete a swe.
