< Abhagalatia 2 >

1 Jejile jawa myaka ekumi ne na ningenda lindi Yerusalemu amwi na Barnaba. Nimugega Tito amwi nanye.
Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
2 Nagendele okubha Nyamuanga ambonekee anye ati jinyiile okugenda. Natulile imbele yebhwe Iinjili inu nalasishe ku bhanu bha maanga. (Mbe nawe nalomele mu mbisike ku bhatangasha bha bhusi bhusi). Nakolele kutyo koleleki nimenyeshe ati naliga ntakubhilima, amwi nabhilimile kutyo ela.
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 Mbe nawe nolwo Tito, unu aliga ali amwi nanye, unu aliga ali Muyunani, asinyilisibhwe okutendwa.
(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised; )
4 Omusango gunu gwabhonekele kulwa bhaili bho lulimi bhanu bhejile mu mbisike okutatilisha elikilisha linu chaliga chili nalyo mu Kristo Yesu. Bhaliga bhana inamba yo kuchikola eswe kubha bhagaya bhe bhilagilo.
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 Chitesosishe okubhongwa nolwo esaa limwi, koleleki iinjili ye chimali isige okuinduka kwemwe.
to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
6 Mbe nawe bhanu bhaikilwe ati bhaliga bhatangasha bhatakolele gwona gwona kwanye. Jone jinu bhakolaga jaliga jitana mulimu kwanye. Nyamuanga atakwikilisha obhwaulani bhwa bhanu.
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 Kwambila ao, nibhandola ati niikanyibhwe okulasha iinjili ku bhanu bhatatendelwe. Koleleki Petro alashe iinjili ku bhanu bhatendelwe.
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 Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga, unu akolele emilimu ku Petro kwo kutumwa ku bhanu bhatendelwe, ona akolele emilimu kwanye ku bhanu bha maanga.
(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles, )
9 Mukatungu Yakobo, Kefa, na Yohana, bhanu bhamenyekene ati bhombakile ikanisa, bhamenyele echigongo chinu nayanilwe anye, bhachilamiye mu bhumwi anye na Barnaba. Bhakolele kutyo koleleki chigende ku bhanu bha maanga, abhene bhagende ku bhanu bhatendelwe.
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 Ona bhachibhwiliye eswe chibhejuke abhataka. Anye one naliga nili na jing'umbu okukola omusango gunu.
only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.
11 Akatungu kanu Kefa ejile Antiokia, namuganyishe abhwelu bhwelu kwo kubha aliga ayabhile.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:
12 Anu abhanu bhalebhe bhaliga bhachali okuja okusoka ku Yakobo, Kefa aliga nalya na bhanu bha maanga. Mbe nawe abhanu bhanu bhejile bhaja, nasiga nasokao ku bhanu bha maanga. Aliga nobhaya abhanu bhanu abhenda okutendwa.
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 Kutyo kutyo na Bhayaudi abhandi bhagwatene no bhwitemya bhwebhwe amwi na Kefa. Kubhutelo nolwo Barnaba agegelwe no kwitemyako kwebhwe.
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 Nejile nalola ati bhatakulubha iinjili ye chimali, nimubhwila Kefa imbele ya bhone, “Lwa kutyo emwe muli Bhayaudi nawe omulibhatila mu ntungwa ja bhanu bha maanga nimusiga jintungwa je Chiyaudi, okubhaki omubhasinyilisha abhanu bha maanga okulibhata lwa Bhayaudi?”
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 Eswe bhanu chili Bhayaudi mu kwibhulwa nawe tali “Abhanu bha maanga abhabhibhi”
We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
16 numenye ati atalio unu kabhalilwa obhulengelesi kulwe bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo. Mbe nawe abhabhalilwa obhulengelesi kulwo kwikilisha mu Kristo itali kulwe bhikolwa ebhye bhilagilo. Kulwe bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo gutalio mubhili gulibhalilwa obhulengelesi.
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 Mbe nawe lwa kutyo echimuyenja Nyamuanga okuchibhalila obhulengelesi mu Kristo, echisanga eswela chili bhabhibhi, angu Kristo akolelwe mugaya we bhibhibhi? Jitali kutyo!
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 Kwo kubha nikombaka obhwiikanyo bhwani ingulu yo kubhika ebhilagilo, obhwiikanyo obhwo namalile okubhusoshao, enimenyesha ati ninyamuye ebhilagilo.
For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.
19 Okulabha mu bhilagilo nafuye kulwe bhilagilo, ku lwejo ejinyiya okulibhatila mu Nyamuanga.
For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
20 Nabhambilwe amwi na Kristo. Atali anye lindi unu nikae, nawe Kristo ekaye mwanye. Obhuanga bhunu nikae mu mubhili nikae kulwo kwikilisha mu Mwana wa Nyamuanga, unu anyendele nesosha ku lwanye.
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 Nitakwigana echigongo cha Nyamuanga, kwo kubha labha obhulengelesi bhwabheyeo okulabha mu bhilagilo, mbe Kristo akabheye afuye kutyo ela.
I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
