1 Na akus likure nin na nas nnin kata, nkuru in ghana u Urushalima nin Barnabas, in yira Titus ku ti gya ligowe.
Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
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.
And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, 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,
But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
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.
and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 Na arik nani ati kitimine ba ko nin kubiri båt, bara kidegen nlirun tuchu nan so kitimine sa ukpillu.
to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; 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.
But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man’s person)—they, I say, who were of repute imparted 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 contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with [the gospel] of the circumcision
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 that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);
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 when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision;
10 Tutung iwa di ninsu ti lizinin nin nikimon, imon ilenge na meng wang wadi nisu nsure ine kang.
only [they would] that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
11 Kubi ko na Kefas wa dak Antakiya, Nwa yisin nmuro me nbellinghe uliru bara na awa tån.
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.
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.
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision.
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 dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.
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?''
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 Arike na tidi a Yahudawa unuzu kumat a na ''Alumai yari anan nalapi ba.''
We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
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.
yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, save through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
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 we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.
18 Bara andi meng ba kuru in wutu kimal ln yinnu nin duka tutung, uyinnu ule na ina nari, meng so unan patulu nduka.
For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.
19 Bara nan nya nduka, meng na ku kulin duka, nnan so nin lai kiti Kutellẹ.
For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto 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; yet I live; [and yet] no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
21 Na meng nati nin bollu Kutellẹ hem ba, bara adi uyiti nlau din nuzu ndukari, ukul in Kristi nso hem.
I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.
