< Galatians 2 >

1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Answit, apre yon espas katòz ane mwen te monte ankò Jérusalem avèk Barnabas, e mwen te pran Tite osi.
2 I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I proclaim amongst the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
Se te akoz yon revelasyon ke mwen te monte a. Epi konsa, mwen te soumèt devan yo menm levanjil ke mwen preche pami pèp etranje yo. Men mwen te fè sa an prive a sila ki te gen repitasyon yo, pou lakrent ke mwen ta ka petèt kouri, oubyen te kouri anven.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Men pa menm Tite ki te avèk mwen an, malgre li te yon Grèk, pa t oblije sikonsi.
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Messiah Yeshua, that they might bring us into bondage,
Men se te akoz de fo frè yo ki te antre an kachèt pou espyone libète ke nou gen nan Kris Jésus a, pou yo ta ka mennen nou nan esklavaj.
5 to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
Men nou pa t soumèt a yo menm pandan menm yon moman, pou verite levanjil la ta kapab rete avèk nou tout.
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
Men de sila ki te gen gwo repitasyon yo—sa yo te ye pa gen enpòtans pou mwen; Bondye pa nan patipri—byen, sila ki te gen repitasyon yo pa t ogmante anyen anplis pou mwen.
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
Men okontrè, yo te wè ke levanjil la te konfye a mwen menm pou ensikonsi yo, menm jan ke li te konfye a Pierre pou sikonsi yo.
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
Paske Sila ki te an reyalite travay atravè Pierre kòm apot pou sikonsi yo, te an reyalite travay atravè mwen menm tou anvè pèp etranje yo.
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, Jacob and Kefa and Yochanan, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
Konsa, ak rekonesans gras ke m te resevwa, Jacques, Céphas, ak Jean, ki te gen repitasyon kòm pilye lafwa yo, te ban mwen ak Barnabas lamen dwat dasosiyasyon, pou nou te kapab ale kote pèp etranje yo e yo menm kote sikonsi yo.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Yo te sèlman mande nou pou nou sonje pòv yo bagay ke mwen te vrèman vle fè.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Men lè Céphas te vini Antioche, mwen te opoze a li menm nan toudwat devan l, paske li te rete kondane.
12 For before some people came from Jacob, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
Paske avan moun a Jacques yo te vini, li te konn manje avèk pèp etranje yo. Men lè yo te vini, li te kòmanse fè bak pou rete a leka, akoz lakrent pati sikonsizyon an.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Rès Jwif yo te vin jwenn avè l nan ipokrizi a, avèk rezilta ke menm Barnabas te pote ale pa ipokrizi yo a.
14 But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
Men lè mwen te wè ke yo pa t mache dwat selon verite levanjil la, mwen te di a Céphas nan prezans a tout moun: “Si ou menm, kòm yon Jwif, viv kon pèp etranje yo e pa tankou Jwif, kòman ou ka fòse pèp etranje yo viv tankou Jwif?
15 “We, being Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
Nou menm ki se Jwif pa lanati e pa pechè ki sòti pami pèp etranje yo,
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Yeshua the Messiah, even we believed in Messiah Yeshua, that we might be justified by faith in Messiah and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
sepandan, nou konnen ke yon nonm pa jistifye pa zèv Lalwa, men atravè lafwa an Kris Jésus a, nou menm kwè nan Kris Jésus a, pou nou kapab jistifye pa lafwa an Kris, e non pa zèv Lalwa, paske pa zèv Lalwa yo, okenn chè p ap jistifye.
17 But if while we sought to be justified in Messiah, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Messiah a servant of sin? Certainly not!
Men si, pandan n ap chache jistifye nan Kris, nou menm osi jwenn nou kòm pechè, èske konsa Kris se yon sèvitè a peche? Ke sa pa janm fèt!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Paske si mwen rebati sa ke, yon fwa, mwen te detwi a, mwen pwouve a tèt mwen ke mwen se yon transgresè.
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
Paske selon Lalwa a mwen te mouri a Lalwa a, pou mwen te kapab viv a Bondye.
20 I have been crucified with Messiah, and it is no longer I who live, but Messiah lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
Mwen te krisifye avèk Kris, epi se pa plis Mwen ki viv, men Kris viv nan mwen. Konsa, lavi ke m viv koulye a nan lachè, mwen viv pa lafwa nan Fis a Lòm nan, ki te renmen mwen e ki te bay tèt li pou mwen.
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Messiah died for nothing!”
Mwen pa anile lagras Bondye, paske si ladwati vini selon Lalwa a, alò, Kris te mouri san rezon.”
