1Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
1Saning hatlai palito laemh pacoengah, Titu doeh ka hoih moe, Barnaba hoi nawnto Jerusalem ah ka caeh let.
2I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.
2Kangphong lok hnuksakhaih hoiah ka caeh moe, Gentelnawk khaeah ka thuih ih tamthanglok hoih to nihcae khaeah ka thuih pae, toe ka sak tangcae tok hoi ka sak han koi tok to azom pui ah oh han ai ah, ahmin kamthang kaminawk khaeah ni tamquta hoiah ka thuih.
3Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
3Kai hoi nawnto kaom Titu loe, Greek kami ah oh, toe tangzat hin ka aatsak nganga ai.
4This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.
4Kri Jesu ah a tawnh o ih loihhaih to khet moe, aicae misong ah ohsak hanah tamquta hoi aicae thungah a kun o sak ih, kahoih ai nawkamyanawk pongah ni to tiah a sak o:
5We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
5toe loktang tamthanglok hoih nangcae khaeah oh thaih poe hanah, nihcae han ahmuen ka paawh pae o ai, atue maeto thung mataeng doeh ka paek pae o ai.
6But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism —those leaders added nothing to me.
6Lokpui ah kaom kaminawk hoi (kai hanah loe kawbaktih kami doeh lahhaih om ai: Sithaw loe kami mikhmai to khen ai:) lokpui ah poek o ih kaminawk loe, kai han amekhaih tidoeh om ai.
7On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
7Piter khaeah tangzat hin aahhaih kahoih tamthanglok paek baktih toengah, kai khaeah doeh tangzat hin aat ai kahoih tamthanglok to paek toeng, tito nihcae mah panoek o;
8For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
8(tangzat hin aat kaminawk khaeah patoeh ih kami ah oh hanah, Piter nuiah toksah Anih loe, Gentelnawk khaeah toksah kai khaeah doeh toksak toeng:)
9And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
9im tung baktiah kaom Jakob, Kipha hoi Johan cae mah, kai khaeah tahmenhaih paek boeh, tito panoek o naah, nihcae loe tangzat hin aat kaminawk khaeah caeh o moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk khaeah caeh hanah, kai hoi Barnaba to bantang ban ang sinh o.
10They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
10Nihcae mah loe kamtang kaminawk ka pahnet o han ai khue ni koehhaih a tawnh o; kai mah doeh to tiah sak han ih ka koeh toeng.
11When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.
11Piter Antiok vangpui ah angzoh naah, kasae thuih koi kaom ah khosak pongah, mikhmai kangtong ah lok ka aek.
12For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.
12Jakob mah patoeh ih thoemto kaminawk angzo o ai karoek to, anih loe Gentelnawk hoi nawnto buhcaak: toe nihcae phak o naah loe, tangzat hin aat kaminawk to zit pongah, Gentel kaminawk hoi angkom ai ah kamhoe ah a oh ving.
13The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
13To naah kalah Judah kaminawk doeh anih baktiah angsak o toeng; nihcae to tiah angsak o pongah Barnaba doeh nihcae baktiah oh ving.
14When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
14Nihcae loe tamthanglok hoih baktiah katoengah toksah o ai, tito ka panoek naah, kai mah nihcae boih hmaa ah, Nang loe, Judah kami maeto ah na oh, toe Judah kami baktiah kho na sah ai, Gentelnawk baktiah ni kho na sak; to tiah na oh to mah tih hanah Gentelnawk to Judahnawk baktiah na ohsak nganga loe? tiah Piter khaeah ka thuih pae.
15We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
15Aicae loe tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah Judah kami ah a oh o, kazae Gentelnawk baktiah a om o ai.
16know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
16Kaalok pazuihaih rang hoiah kami mah toenghaih hnu ai, toe Jesu Kri tanghaih rang hoiah ni hnuk, tiah a panoek o; aicae mah kaalok pazuihaih hoiah na ai, Kri tanghaih rang hoiah toenghaih a hnuk o thai hanah, Kri Jesu to ni a tang o: kaalok pazuihaih rang hoiah mi kawbaktih doeh toenghaih hnu thai ai.
17But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!
17Kri rang hoiah toenghaih a pakrong o naah loe, aicae Judah kaminawk doeh kami zae ah ni a oh o toeng, to tiah om nahaeloe Kri loe zaehaih toksahkung ah maw oh? To tiah om ai.
18If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
18Ka phraek tangcae hmuen to ka sak let nahaeloe, kaimah hoi kaimah to zaehaih sah kami ah ni ka ohsak, tito amtueng.
19For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
19Sithaw ah ka hing thai hanah, kaalok ah ka duek.
20I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
20Kai loe Kri hoi nawnto thinglam pongah takhing boeh: to langlacadoeh ka hing; toe kai na ai, Kri kai thungah hing: vaihi taksa ah ka hinghaih loe, kai palung, kai han a hinghaih paek, Sithaw Capa tanghaih hoiah ni hing boeh.
21I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
21Sithaw tahmenhaih to ka takhoe ving ai: kaalok pazuihaih rang hoiah toenghaih hnuk thai nahaeloe, Kri loe azom pui ah ni duek.
