< Galatians 2 >

1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken along Titus also.
Badala ya miaka kumi na nne nalotili kabhele Yerusalem pamonga ni Barnaba. Kabhele nan'tolili ni Tito pamonga ni nene.
2 And I went up according to revelation, and I declared to them the good news that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of repute, lest somehow I might be running or ran in vain.
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.
3 But not even Titus with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Ni kabhele Tito, yaayele pamonga ni nene, yaayele Myunani, alasimisibhu kutailibhwa.
4 But that issue was because of those false brothers smuggled in, who sneaked in to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us,
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.
5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, so that the truth of the good news might continue with you.
Tajipisili lepi kubhatii hata kwa lisaa limonga, ya ndabha injili ya ukueli ibakilai bila kubadilisya kwa muenga.
6 But from those who were reputed to be something (what kind they were formerly, it makes no difference to me, God does not accept a personage of man), for those who were of repute added nothing to me,
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.
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the good news for men of uncircumcision, as Peter for men of circumcision
Badala yaki, bhabhuene ya kuwa niaminibhu kutangasya injili kwa bhala bhabhatailibhu lepi. Yayele Katya Petro atangasyai injili kwa bhabhatailibhu.
8 (for he who was working in Peter for the apostleship for men of circumcision was also working in me for the Gentiles),
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.
9 and James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, when they understood the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship. So that we were for the Gentiles, and they for men of circumcision,
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.
10 only that we should remember the poor, which this same thing I also was eager to do.
Kabhele bhatulondai tete kubhakombhoka masikini. Nene kabhele nayele natamaniayi kuketa lijambo ele.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch I opposed him to the face, because he was blameworthy.
Wakati kefa paahidili Antiokia, na mphengili bhuasi bhuasi yandabha ayele akosili.
12 For before certain men came from James he ate together with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing men of circumcision.
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.
13 And the other Jews also joined in hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas went along with their hypocrisy.
Vilevile bhayahudi bhamana bhauengene ni unafiki obho pamonga ni kefa. Matokeo ghaki ghayele ni Barnaba atolibhu ni unafiki wa bhene.
14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly toward the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, If thou being a Jew, live as a Gentile and not as a Jew, why do thou compel the Gentiles to live as Jews?
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?”
15 We are Jews by nature and not sinful men of the Gentiles,
Tete ambabho ndo bhayaudi bhakuhogoleka na siyo “Bhanu bhamataifa bhenye thambi”
16 knowing that a man is not made righteous from works of law, instead through faith of Jesus Christ. And we believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made righteous from faith of Christ, and not from works of law, because no flesh will be made righteous from works of law.
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.
17 But if, while seeking to be made righteous in Christ, we ourselves were also found sinful, then is Christ an aide of sin? May it not happen!
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!
18 For if I build again these things that I tore down, I demonstrate myself a transgressor.
Maana katya ni kajengai tegemeo la nene juu ya kutunza sheria, litegemelo ambalo namalili kulibhosya, nikajilasya nayhoni Kujo mvunja sheria.
19 For I, through law, died to law, so that I might live to God.
Kup'etela sheria nafuili mu sheria, kwa ele nipaswa kuishi kwajia ya K'yara.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And what I now live in flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.
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.
21 I do not disregard the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died in vain.
Nikaikana hee neema ya K'yara, maana katya haki yayayele kup'etela sheria, basi Kristu ngaayele afuili mebhwa.
