1 Na akus likure nin na nas nnin kata, nkuru in ghana u Urushalima nin Barnabas, in yira Titus ku ti gya ligowe.
Fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, taking Titus along as well.
2 Nwa ghana ndo bara na Kutellẹ wa dursoi ndo. Nwa durso nani kanang uliru tucu ulenge na ndin bellu kitik nalumai. ( Nwa su ulirẹ likot nan nadidya mine). Bara katwa ninghe na imalsu, nin ka na nma kuru nsu wa so hem.
I went on the basis of a revelation and set before them [the main apostles] the Gospel that I proclaim among the nations/Gentiles.—Now I did this privately to those with influence, lest somehow I might run, or had run, in vain.
3 Ko ame Titus na awadi ninmi, na awadi ku Hilinawa, iwa tighe akala kucuhru gbas. Nani wa se nani,
However, not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, for being a Greek.
4 Bari nuana kinu na iwa dak likire ida idayen lissosin limang bit na tiwa dimun nan nya Kristi Yisa. Iwa dinin su iti nari tiso acin kiti nduka.
This came up because of the false brothers who were smuggled in (who stole in to spy out our freedom, that we have in Christ Jesus, so as to reduce us to slavery),
5 Na arik nani ati kitimine ba ko nin kubiri båt, bara kidegen nlirun tuchu nan so kitimine sa ukpillu.
to whom we did not yield, even for a moment, so that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you.—
6 Inung alenge na among na woro inughere anan bune na ina su imonmonba. Sa iwa di iyaghari kiti nin na imonmonari ba. Na Kutellẹ din sesu imon ile na idin su kibinayi nnit usurne ba.
Now from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows favoritism to no man)—those with influence contributed nothing to me,
7 Bara nani wang mere ina ni ulirun tuchue udu kiti na nan nacuru, nafo Bitrus na iwa nigne ucindu kiti na nan kalzu nacuru.
but on the contrary, upon seeing that I had been entrusted with the Gospel for the uncircumcised, just as was Peter for the circumcised
8 Bara Kutellẹ, na anasu kata nan nya Bitrus gono kadura kiti nalenge na ina kalza acuru nanere wang ana su katwa nan nya ning udu kiti nalumai.
(for He who was at work with Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised was also at work with me for that to the uncircumcised),
9 Na iwa yinnin ubollẹ na Kutellẹ nasui, Yakub, Kefas, nin Yuhana, alenge na iwa yiru nani adidya liyissin wa Barnabas ku nin mi ucara ncine lidondong. Bara arik nan do kiti nalumai inung do kiti na nan kalzu nacuru.
and upon perceiving the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, while they to the Jews.
10 Tutung iwa di ninsu ti lizinin nin nikimon, imon ilenge na meng wang wadi nisu nsure ine kang.
They did ask us to keep remembering the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.
11 Kubi ko na Kefas wa dak Antakiya, Nwa yisin nmuro me nbellinghe uliru bara na awa tån.
But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
12 Kefas wa din lizu nimonli nin nalumai, a among anit unuzu kitin Yakub dutu sa udak. Na anit ane nda, a wunno kidowo anin tasa ligome nin na Lumaiye, bara fiu nanit ale na inamalu kalzu nacuru mine.
Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing those of the circumcision party.
13 Nanere wang ngisin na Yahudawẹ wa dofin Kefase ku nan nya nrusuzu nati. Nanere Barnabas wang litime wa dofin nani nan nya kani karusuze.
And the rest of the Jews played the hypocrite with him as well, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 Na nwa nin yene nwo na idin dortu kidegen nliru tucuba, Nbelle Kefase ku nbun mine vat, ''Andi fe na udi ku Yahudawa umini sosin nafo kilumai na nafo ku Yahudawa ba, iyizari udin tizzu Alumai iso nafo a Yahudawa?''
So when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all: “If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?
15 Arike na tidi a Yahudawa unuzu kumat a na ''Alumai yari anan nalapi ba.''
We natural Jews (and not ‘Gentile sinners’),
16 Yinnon nenge na umong unit duku na ama sortu nacara nkul bara katwa nin dortun duka ba se nin yinnu sa uyenu nan nya Yisa Kristi. Tina dak nan nya in yinnu sa uyenu in Kristi Yisa bara tina se usurtu unuzun in yinnu sa uyenu nan nya Kristi na nin nitwa nduka ba, bara kusari nduka na unan lai urum ba surtuba.
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, we ourselves have believed into Christ Jesus, so as to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law; because no one will be justified by works of law.
17 Vat nani andi konene tiba pizuru Kutellẹ tinan se usurtu nan nya asa tise atibite anan nalapi, Kriste nso unan katwa kulapï? Na nanere ba!
But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves were discovered to be sinners, then is Christ a minister of sin? Of course not!
18 Bara andi meng ba kuru in wutu kimal ln yinnu nin duka tutung, uyinnu ule na ina nari, meng so unan patulu nduka.
“Now if I rebuild the things that I destroyed, I acknowledge that I am a transgressor.
19 Bara nan nya nduka, meng na ku kulin duka, nnan so nin lai kiti Kutellẹ.
For through the law I died to the law in order to live to God.
20 Iwa kottini kitene kucca ligowe nin Kristi. Na mere nene ming litininghe ba, unin ulai ulenge na in dumun nan nya kidowo, nsosin nan nya in yinnu sa uyenu in Gono Kutellẹ, ule na ana ti usu ning anä litime bara meng.
I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; what I now live in this body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself in my place.
21 Na meng nati nin bollu Kutellẹ hem ba, bara adi uyiti nlau din nuzu ndukari, ukul in Kristi nso hem.
I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
