< Galatians 2 >

1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Ani waggaa kudha afur booddee deebiʼee Yerusaalemitti ol baʼe; ani yeroo kana Barnaabaas wajjinin ture. Tiitoo illee of duukaa fudhadhee dhaqe.
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.
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 not even 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 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,
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 no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
Nus akka dhugaan wangeelaa isin bira jiraatuuf jennee battala tokkoof illee isaaniif hin ajajamne.
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,
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 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—
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 who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
Waaqni akka Phexros ergamaa taʼee warra dhagna qabatan tajaajilu hojjete sun akka anis ergamaa taʼee Namoota Ormaa tajaajilu hojjeteeraatii.
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.
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 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Wanni isaan nu kadhatanis akka nu hiyyeeyyii yaadannu qofa ture; kun immoo waanuma ani gochuuf hawwaa turee dha.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Keefaan waan dogoggoree tureef yeroo inni Anxookiiyaa dhufetti ani ifaan ifattin isaan morme.
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.
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 rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Yihuudoonni kaanis itti fakkeessummaa isaa duukaa buʼan; Barnaabaas iyyuu itti fakkeessummaa isaaniitiin dogoggorfamee ture.
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?
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, being Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
“Nu dhalootaan Yihuudoota malee Namoota Ormaa cubbamoota miti;
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.
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 sought to be justified in Messiah, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Messiah a servant of sin? Certainly not!
“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 up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Ani yoon waanan diige deebisee ijaare akkan seera cabsituu taʼen mirkaneessa.
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
“Ani akkan Waaqaaf jiraadhuuf, karaa seeraatiin seeraaf duʼeeraatii.
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.
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 don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Messiah died for nothing!”
Ani ayyaana Waaqaa gatii hin dhabsiisu; utuu qajeelummaan karaa seeraatiin argamee Kiristoos akkanumaan duʼe jechuu dha kaa!”
