< Galatians 2 >

1 Then fourteen years after I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.
Ani waggaa kudha afur booddee deebiʼee Yerusaalemitti ol baʼe; ani yeroo kana Barnaabaas wajjinin ture. Tiitoo illee of duukaa fudhadhee dhaqe.
2 And I went by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run in vain.
Ani mulʼataanin ol baʼe; wangeela Namoota Ormaa gidduutti lallabus isaaniif nan ibse. Kanas akka fiigichi koo kan duraa, kan ammaas akkasumaan hin hafne waan sodaadheef kophaatti warra dura buʼoota fakkaatanittin hime.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Garuu Tiitoon inni ana wajjin ture iyyuu utuma nama Giriik taʼee jiruu akka dhagna qabatu hin dirqisiifamne.
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
Kunis sababii obboloota sobaa tokko tokko bilisummaa nu karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin arganne basaasuu fi nu garboomfachuuf dhokatanii nu gidduu galaniif taʼe.
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Nus akka dhugaan wangeelaa isin bira jiraatuuf jennee battala tokkoof illee isaaniif hin ajajamne.
6 But of these, who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person: ) for they who seemed [to be somewhat], in conference added nothing to me:
Waaʼeen warra gurguddaa fakkaatan sanaa yoo isaan waanuma fedhan taʼan iyyuu anaaf homaa miti; Waaqni fuula namaa ilaalee nama wal hin caalchisu; namoonni kunneen ergaa koo irratti waan tokko hin daballe.
7 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] to Peter;
Karaa kaaniin immoo isaan akkuma Phexros warra dhagna qabatanitti wangeela lallabuuf imaanaan itti kenname sana, anis akka warra dhagna hin qabannetti wangeela lallabuuf imaanaan natti kenname argan.
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me towards the Gentiles: )
Waaqni akka Phexros ergamaa taʼee warra dhagna qabatan tajaajilu hojjete sun akka anis ergamaa taʼee Namoota Ormaa tajaajilu hojjeteeraatii.
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.
Yaaqoob, Keefaa fi Yohannis warri akka “Utubaatti” ilaalaman sun yommuu ayyaana naa kenname hubatanitti anaa fi Barnaabaasiif harka mirgaa kan tokkummaa kennanii akka nu gara Namoota Ormaa deemnu, isaan immoo akka gara warra dhagna qabatanii dhaqan walii galan.
10 Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
Wanni isaan nu kadhatanis akka nu hiyyeeyyii yaadannu qofa ture; kun immoo waanuma ani gochuuf hawwaa turee dha.
11 But when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
Keefaan waan dogoggoree tureef yeroo inni Anxookiiyaa dhufetti ani ifaan ifattin isaan morme.
12 For before that certain came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles: but when they had come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
Utuu jarri tokko Yaaqoob biraa hin dhufin dura inni Namoota Ormaa wajjin nyaachaa ture. Yommuu isaan achi gaʼanitti garuu waan garee warra dhagna qabatanii sodaateef dugda duubatti deebiʼee Namoota Ormaa irraa gargar baʼe.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
Yihuudoonni kaanis itti fakkeessummaa isaa duukaa buʼan; Barnaabaas iyyuu itti fakkeessummaa isaaniitiin dogoggorfamee ture.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Anis yommuu akka isaan daandii dhugaa wangeelaa irra hin deemne argetti hunda isaanii duratti Keefaan akkana jedhe; “Ati Yihuudii dha; garuu utuu akka Yihuudiitti hin taʼin akka Nama Ormaatti jiraatta; yoos ati akkamitti akka Namoonni Ormaa bartee Yihuudootaa duukaa buʼan dirqisiifta ree?
15 We [who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
“Nu dhalootaan Yihuudoota malee Namoota Ormaa cubbamoota miti;
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
namni Yesuus Kiristoositti amanuun malee akka seera eeguun qajeelaa hin taasifamne beekna. Kanaafuu seera eeguudhaan utuu hin taʼin amantii Kiristoos irratti qabnuun qajeeltota akka taanuuf Kiristoos Yesuusitti amanneerra; eenyu iyyuu seera eeguudhaan qajeelaa hin taʼuutii.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means.
“Egaa nu utuu karaa Kiristoosiin qajeeltota taasifamuu barbaannuu nu mataan keenya iyyuu cubbamoota taanee yoo argamnee Kiristoos tajaajilaa cubbuuti jechuudhaa ree? Kun gonkumaa akkas miti!
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Ani yoon waanan diige deebisee ijaare akkan seera cabsituu taʼen mirkaneessa.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I may live to God.
“Ani akkan Waaqaaf jiraadhuuf, karaa seeraatiin seeraaf duʼeeraatii.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Ani Kiristoos wajjin fannifameera; siʼachi Kiristoositu na keessa jiraata malee kan jiraatu ana miti. Ani jireenya amma fooniin jiraadhu kana amantii Ilma Waaqaa isa na jaallatee naaf jedhee of kennetti qabuun nan jiraadha.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness is [attainable] by the law, then Christ hath died in vain.
Ani ayyaana Waaqaa gatii hin dhabsiisu; utuu qajeelummaan karaa seeraatiin argamee Kiristoos akkanumaan duʼe jechuu dha kaa!”
