Galatifo 2

1 Me ne Barnaba san kɔɔ Yerusalem Mfe dunan akyi. Mede Tito nso kaa me ho.

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

2 Mekɔe, efisɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔdaa no adi kyerɛɛ me se menkɔ. Me ne mpanyimfo no yɛɛ nhyiamu wɔ kokoa mu kyerɛkyerɛɛ asɛmpa a meka kyerɛɛ amanamanmufo no kyerɛɛ wɔn. Na mempɛ sɛ mʼadwuma a mayɛ dedaw ne nea migu so reyɛ no yɛ ɔkwa.

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 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ me boafo Tito yɛ Helani de, nanso wɔanhyɛ no sɛ ontwa twetia.

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

4 Asɛm yi sii, efisɛ na anuanom bi a wɔnyɛ nokwafo awia wɔn ho abɛfra yɛn mu a wɔrehwehwɛ ahofadi a yɛwɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu, na wɔde yɛn ayɛ nkoa.

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 Yɛamma wɔn mu kwan koraa, esiane pɛ a na yɛpɛ sɛ nokware a ɛwɔ Asɛmpa no mu no bɛtena mo mu no nti.

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

6 Sɛnea wɔn a wɔfa wɔn ho sɛ wɔyɛ atitiriw no te biara no, meka se minhu wɔn ntam nsonoe biara. Onyankopɔn nhwɛ nnipa ho mmu atɛn; saa mpanyimfo no mfaa adwene foforo biara mmɛkaa mʼasɛm no ho.

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 Na mmom wohuu sɛ Onyankopɔn de adwuma no ahyɛ me nsa sɛ menka Asɛmpa no nkyerɛ amanamanmufo sɛnea ɔde adwuma no hyɛɛ Petro nsa sɛ ɔnka Asɛmpa no nkyerɛ Yudafo no ara pɛ.

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 Na Onyankopɔn a ɔnam Petro so yɛ adwuma sɛ Yudafo mu somafo no ara na ɔnam me so yɛ adwuma wɔ amanamanmufo mu, sɛnea Petro yɛ Yudafo mu adwuma no pɛ.

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

9 Yakobo, Petro ne Yohane a na wɔfa no sɛ wɔyɛ mpanyimfo no gye too mu se, Onyankopɔn ama me adwuma sononko bi sɛ minni, enti wokyiaa me ne Barnaba. Wɔpenee so se yɛnyɛ adwuma wɔ amanamanmufo no mu na wɔn nso wɔnyɛ adwuma wɔ Yudafo no mu.

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 Nea wɔkae ara ne sɛ yɛnkae ahiafo wɔ wɔn kuw no mu sɛnea mepɛ sɛ meyɛ no.

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

11 Bere a Petro baa Antiokia no, mesɔre tiaa nea ɔreyɛ no mu wɔ bagua mu, efisɛ na ɔreyɛ mfomso.

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

12 Ansa na mmarima bi a Yakobo somaa wɔn no beduu hɔ no, na Petro ne anuanom amanamanmufo no to nsa didi. Nanso akyiri a nnipa no bedui no, ɔtwee ne ho a ɔne wɔn annidi bio, efisɛ na osuro wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wotwa amanamanmufo twetia no.

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 Anuanom Yudafo a wɔaka no yɛɛ sɛ ahufo de wɔn ho bɔɔ Petro maa Barnaba nso de ne ho kɔbataa wɔn.

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 Mihuu sɛ nea wɔreyɛ no ne Asɛmpa no bɔ abira no, mekaa wɔ Petro ne bagua no anim se, “Woyɛ Yudani a mprempren wunni Yudafo amanne so bio. Adɛn nti na wohyɛ amanamanmufo sɛ wonni Yudafo amanne so?

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 “Yɛn a yɛyɛ Yudafo fi yɛn awo mu a yɛnyɛ amanamanmufo nnebɔneyɛfo no

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

16 nim sɛ ansa na obi bedi bem wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no, na gye sɛ wagye Yesu Kristo adi a ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ nea mmara no hwehwɛ sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Yɛn nso, yɛagye Kristo Yesu adi sɛnea yɛnam so bedi bem wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; efisɛ ɛnam gyidi so na wobebu yɛn bem, na ɛnyɛ mmara no apɛde a yɛyɛ no so.

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 “Sɛ yɛpɛ sɛ wobu yɛn bem wɔ Kristo mu na sɛ ɛda adi sɛ yɛn nso yɛyɛ nnebɔneyɛfo a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Kristo pene bɔne so? Ɛnte saa koraa.

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 Na sɛ mifi ase yɛ nea magyae a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ meyɛ mmaratofo.

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

19 “Efisɛ mpɛn dodow a mepɛɛ sɛ medi mmara no so no, mmara no buu me fɔ. Mmara no ankasa akum me. Ɛno nti minni mmara no tumi ase bio, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mɛtena ase ama Onyankopɔn mmom. Wɔabɔ me ne Kristo asennua mu,

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

20 enti ɛnyɛ me na mete ase bio, na mmom Kristo no na ɔte me mu. Saa asetena a mete mu mprempren yi, mete ase wɔ Onyankopɔn Ba no a ɔdɔ me na ɔde ne nkwa maa me no gyidi mu.

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 Mempo Onyankopɔn adom no. Sɛ onipa nam Mmara so fata Onyankopɔn anim a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Kristo wu a owui no yɛ ɔkwa.”

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