Kaletia 2

1 Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea u toe ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema mo Pānepasa, peau ʻave ʻa Taitusi foki.

Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];

2 Naʻaku ʻalu hake ʻi hono fakahā mai, ʻo fakaʻilo atu kiate kinautolu ʻae ongoongolelei ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ou malangaʻaki ki he ngaahi Senitaile, ka ʻi he fufū pe kiate kinautolu taki taha naʻe ongoongo, telia naʻa ʻiloange, ʻoku ou lele pe kuo u lele taʻeʻaonga.

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 Pea ko Taitusi, ko e Kiliki, naʻe ʻiate au ia, naʻe ʻikai siʻi te nau fekau ke kamu ia:

(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised; )

4 Pea koeʻuhi ko e kāinga loi naʻe omi fakafufū, ʻonau hū fakafufū mai ke matakiʻi ʻetau tauʻatāina, ʻaia ʻoku tau maʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, koeʻuhi ke nau fakapōpulaʻi ʻakitautolu:

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 Pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te mau fakavaivai ki ai ʻi ha feituʻulaʻā siʻi ʻe taha; koeʻuhi ke ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei.

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

6 Pea koeʻuhi ko kinautolu naʻe lahi hake, (neongo ʻenau lahi, koeʻumaʻā ia kiate au: ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ʻae ʻOtua ki he tangata: ) he ko kinautolu naʻe lahi, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahā ha meʻa foʻou kiate au:

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 Kae kehe, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo tuku kiate au ʻae ongoongolelei ki he taʻekamu, ʻo hangē [ko e tuku ]kia Pita ʻaia ʻoe kamu;

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 (He ko ia naʻa ne ngāue mālohi ʻia Pita ki he ngāue fakaʻaposetolo ki he kamu, ko ia ia naʻe mālohi ʻiate au ki he kakai Senitaile: )

(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles, )

9 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Semisi, mo Kifasi, mo Sione, ʻakinautolu naʻe hangē ko e ngaahi pou, ki he ʻofa kuo foaki kiate au, naʻa nau tuku mai kiate au mo Pānepasa ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe feʻofoʻofani: ke ma [ʻalu ]ki he kakai Senitaile, ka ko kinautolu ki he kamu.

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 [ʻO nau pehē ]pe, kema manatu ki he kakai masiva; ʻae meʻa ko ia foki naʻaku fie fai ki ai.

only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.

11 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Pita ki ʻAniteoke, naʻaku tuʻu hake ʻo valoki ia, koeʻuhi naʻe totonu hono valokiʻi.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:

12 Koeʻuhi ʻi he teʻeki ai haʻu ʻae niʻihi mei ʻa Semisi, naʻe kai fakataha ia mo e kakai Senitaile: ka ʻi heʻenau hoko mai, naʻe mahuʻi ʻo ne fakamavae ia, ko e manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoe kamu.

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 Pea fai mālualoi mo ia ʻa hono toe ʻoe kau Siu foki; ko ia naʻe ʻauhia ai foki ʻa Pānepasa ʻi heʻenau mālualoi.

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 Ka ʻi heʻeku mamata naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻaʻeva totonu, ʻo fakatatau ki he moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei, ne u pehē ai kia Pita, ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē, “Kapau ko koe, ko e Siu, ʻoku ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻoe kakai Senitaile, kae ʻikai hangē ko e kakai Siu, ko e hā ʻoku ke puleʻi ai ʻae kakai Senitaile ke fai ʻo hangē ko e kakai Siu?”

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 Ko kitautolu ʻoku tupu ko e kakai Siu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e “kau angahala ʻae kakai Senitaile,”

We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,

16 ‌ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhia ha tangata ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono, ka ʻi he tui ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, kuo tau tui kia Sisu Kalaisi, koeʻuhi ke fakatonuhia ʻakitautolu ʻe he tui ʻa Kalaisi, kae ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono: he ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhiaʻi ha tokotaha ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono.

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 Pea ka lolotonga ʻetau kumi ke tau tonuhia meia Kalaisi, kuo ʻilo ʻakitautolu ko e kau angahala, pea kuo hoko ai ʻa Kalaisi ko e tauhi ʻoe angahala? ʻIkai ʻaupito.

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 He kapau ʻoku ou toe langaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻaku fakaʻauha, ta ʻoku ou ngaohi au ko e angahala.

For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.

19 He ko e meʻa ʻi he fono kuo mate ai au ki he fono, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ki he ʻOtua.

For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.

20 Kuo tutuki au ke mate ʻo hangē ko Kalaisi: ka ʻoku ou moʻui; ka ʻoku ʻikai ko au, ka ko Kalaisi ʻoku moʻui ʻiate au: pea ko ʻeku moʻui eni ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ou moʻui ʻi he tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa kiate au, ʻo ne foaki ia ʻe ia koeʻuhi ko au.

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 ‌ʻOku ʻikai te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua: he kapau ʻoku mei he fono ʻae fakatonuhia, pea tā kuo pekia taʻeʻaonga ʻa Kalaisi.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
