Karatia 2

1 Muri iho, kia pahure nga tau tekau ma wha, ka haere ano ahau ki Hiruharama maua ko Panapa, me te mau ano i a Taituha hei hoa moku.

Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

2 Na te whakakitenga mai hoki ahau i haere ai, a whakatakotoria ana e ahau ki a ratou te rongopai e kauwhautia nei e ahau ki nga tauiwi; otiia i meatia pukutia ki te hunga whai ingoa, kei maumau kau taku oma onaianei, o mua ra ranei.

I went up by revelation, and I explained to them the Good News which I preach among those who are not Jewish, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

3 Kihai ia a Taituha, toku hoa, he Kariki nei ia, i meinga kia kotia:

But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

4 Mo nga teina teka hoki i whakaurua pukutia mai, i haere puku mai nei ki te tirotiro i to matou ahua, he herekore i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kia whakataurekareka ai ratou i a matou.

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;

5 Kihai rawa matou i whakangawari iho, i rongo ki a ratou, ahakoa kotahi haora; he mea kia mau ai te pono o te rongopai ki a koutou.

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.

6 Otira ko te hunga whai ingoa ahakoa he aha ratou, kahore tahi he tikanga ki ahau: kahore a te Atua whakapai ki te kanohi tangata kihai ratou, te hunga whai ingoa, i whakaatu mea ki ahau:

But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people)—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

7 Engari to ratou kitenga kua tukua ki ahau te rongopai ki te kotingakore pera hoki me tera ki kotinga kua tukua ra ki a Pita;

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcision

8 Ko te kaimahi hoki i roto i a Pita hei apotoro ki te kotinga, mahi ana ano ia i roto i ahau ki nga tauiwi:

(for he who appointed Peter to be an emissary of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);

9 Na, no ratou ka matau ki te aroha noa kua homai ki ahau, ka homai e Hemi, e Kipa, e Hoani, i meinga nei hei pou, nga ringa matau hei whakahoatanga ki a maua ko Panapa, mo maua kia haere ki nga tauiwi, ko ratou ia ki te kotinga:

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, Jacob and Kefa and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the non-Jews, and they to the circumcised.

10 Otiia me mahara maua ki te hunga rawakore; he mea ano hoki tena i hihiko ai ahau.

They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

11 Na, i te taenga mai o Pita ki Anatioka, ka whakatika atu ahau ki a ia he kanohi, he kanohi, no te mea kua tika kia whakahengia ia.

But when Kefa came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

12 I mua hoki o te taenga mai o etahi i a Hemi, e kai tahi ana ia me nga tauiwi: no to ratou taenga mai ia, neke atu ana ia, momotu ke ana i a ia; i mataku hoki ki te hunga o te kotinga.

For before some people came from Jacob, he ate with those who were not Jewish. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

13 I uru ano era atu Hurai ki tona tinihanga: heoi riro pu a Panapa i to ratou tinihanga.

And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

14 Otira, i toku kitenga kihai ratou i haere tika i runga i te pono o te rongopai, ka mea ahau ki a Pita i te aroaro o ratou katoa, ki te mea ko koe, he Hurai, ka whakatauiwi i a koe, a kahore e whakahurai, me pehea e taea ai e koe te mea nga tauiw i kia Hurai?

But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Kefa before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the non-Jews do, and not as the Jews do, how can you compel the non-Jews to live as the Jews do?

15 Ko tatou, ko nga Hurai tupu nei, ehara nei i te hunga hara no nga tauiwi,

"We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,

16 Kua mohio nei ehara nga mahi a te ture i te mea e tika ai te tangata, engari ko te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti; kua whakapono ano tatou ki a Ihu Karaiti, kia meinga ai te whakapono ki a te Karaiti hei tika mo tatou, kahore ia nga mahi a te ture; no te mea kahore rawa he kikokiko e tika i nga mahi o te ture.

yet knowing that no one is 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.

17 Na, i a tatou e whai nei kia whakatikaia i roto i a te Karaiti, ki te kitea tatou nei he hunga hara, he minita ranei a te Karaiti ki te hara? Kahore rapea.

But if, while we sought to be justified in Messiah, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Messiah a servant of sin? Certainly not.

18 Ki te mea hoki ka hanga ano e ahau nga mea i wahia e ahau, e whakakite ana ahau i ahau ano, he tangata hara.

For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

19 Na te ture hoki ahau i tupapaku ai ki te ture, kia ora ai ahau ki te Atua.

For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

20 Kua ripekatia tahitia ahau me te Karaiti: a e ora nei, ehara i te mea ko ahau, engari ko te Karaiti e ora ana i roto i ahau: e ora nei hoki ahau i roto i te kikokiko, he oranga na te whakapono ki te Tama a te Atua, i aroha nei ki ahau, i tuku ne i i a ia moku.

I have been crucified with Messiah, and it is no longer I that live, but Messiah living 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.

21 Kahore aku whakakahore i te aroha noa o te Atua: mehemea hoki i na runga mai te tika i te ture, maumau mate noa a te Karaiti.

I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Messiah died for nothing."
