< Wagalatia 2 >

1 Badala ya miaka kumi na nne nalotili kabhele Yerusalem pamonga ni Barnaba. Kabhele nan'tolili ni Tito pamonga ni nene.
Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
2 Nalotili ndabha ya K'yara ajidhihirishi kwa nene ya kuwa ni paswa kulota. Nabhekili palongolo pa bhene injili yanatangasi kwa bhanu bha mataifa. (Lakini nalongilili kwa kufigha kwa bhabhisemekana fiongozi bhamana). Naketili naa ili kuhakikisya ndabha nakembhelai hee, au nakembili mebhwa.
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 Ni kabhele Tito, yaayele pamonga ni nene, yaayele Myunani, alasimisibhu kutailibhwa.
(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised; )
4 Lijambo ele lahomili kwa ndabha ya bhalongo bhaudesi bhabhahidili kwa siri kupeleleza uhuru wa tuyenabhu kup'etela Kristu Yesu. Bhatamene kutuketa tete tuyelai bhatumwa bha Sheria.
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 Tajipisili lepi kubhatii hata kwa lisaa limonga, ya ndabha injili ya ukueli ibakilai bila kubadilisya kwa muenga.
to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
6 Ila bhala bhabhajobhibhu ya kuwa ndo fiongozi bhachangili lepi kyoa kela kwa nene. Kyoakela kayayele bhakifu ketai kayelepi kya. maana kwa nene. K'yara hakubali upendeleo wa bhanadamu.
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 Badala yaki, bhabhuene ya kuwa niaminibhu kutangasya injili kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu lepi. Yayele Katya Petro atangasyai injili kwa bhabhatailibhu.
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 Kwa ndabha K'yara, yaafwanyili mbhombho mugati mwa Petro kwajia ya utume kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu, kabhele aketili mbhombho mugati mwa nene kwa bhanu bha mataifa.
(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles, )
9 Wati Yakobo, kefa, ni Yohana, ndo bhatambuliki ya kuwa bhajengili likanisa, bhamanyili neema ya napelibhu nene bhatupokili kup'etela ushirika nene ni Baketili naa ili ya ndabha tubhoki kwa bhanu bha mataifa, ni kabhele bha bhwesyai kulota kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu.
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 Kabhele bhatulondai tete kubhakombhoka masikini. Nene kabhele nayele natamaniayi kuketa lijambo ele.
only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.
11 Wakati kefa paahidili Antiokia, na mphengili bhuasi bhuasi yandabha ayele akosili.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:
12 Kabula ya bhanu kuzaa kuhida kuhomela kwa Yakobo, kefa ayele kulya pamonga ni bhanu bhamataifa. Ila bhanu abha bhabhahidili, alekili ni kubhoka kuhomela kwa bhanu bha mataifa. Ayele atilai bhanu bha bhilonda tohara.
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 Vilevile bhayahudi bhamana bhauengene ni unafiki obho pamonga ni kefa. Matokeo ghaki ghayele ni Barnaba atolibhu ni unafiki wa bhene.
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 Panabhona yakuwa bhayelelepi kufuata injili ya ukueli, namjobhili kefa palongolo pa bhoa, “Katya muenga ndo bhayaudi ila mwiishi ni tabia sa bhanu bha mataifa badala ya tabia sa kiyaudi, kwa ndayakiki mkabhalasimisya bhanu bhamataifa kuishi katya 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 Tete ambabho ndo bhayaudi bhakuhogoleka na siyo “Bhanu bhamataifa bhenye thambi”
We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
16 Manyai kujo ayelepi yaihesabibhwa haki kwa matendo gha Sheria. Badala yaki, bhihesabhwa haki kwa imani mugati mwa Yesu Kristu. Twahidili kwa imani mugati mwa Kristu Yesu ili yandabha tihesabibwa haki kwa imani mugati mwa Kristu na lepi kwa matendo gha Sheria. Kwa matendo ya sheria uyelepi mbhele waubhwanili kuhesabibhwa katya haki.
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 Katya tukandonda K'yara wa kutuhesabila haki mugati mwa Kristu, tukajikolela tayhoto kabhele ndo bhenye thambi, je Kristu aketibhu n'tumwa wa thambi? Wala naa hee!
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 Maana katya ni kajengai tegemeo la nene juu ya kutunza sheria, litegemelo ambalo namalili kulibhosya, nikajilasya nayhoni Kujo mvunja sheria.
For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.
19 Kup'etela sheria nafuili mu sheria, kwa ele nipaswa kuishi kwajia ya K'yara.
For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
20 Nisulubibhu pamonga ni Kristu. So nene kabhele yakaniishi, Bali Kristu aaiishi mugati mwa nene. Maisha ghaniishi kup'etela mbhele niishi kwa imani mugati mwa muana wa K'yara yaa niganili ni kujitolela kwajia ya nene.
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 Nikaikana hee neema ya K'yara, maana katya haki yayayele kup'etela sheria, basi Kristu ngaayele afuili mebhwa.
I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
