1Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea u toe ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema mo Pānepasa, peau ʻave ʻa Taitusi foki.
1Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2Naʻaku ʻalu hake ʻi hono fakahā mai, ʻo fakaʻilo atu kiate kinautolu ʻae ongoongolelei ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ou malangaʻaki ki he ngaahi Senitaile, ka ʻi he fufū pe kiate kinautolu taki taha naʻe ongoongo, telia naʻa ʻiloange, ʻoku ou lele pe kuo u lele taʻeʻaonga.
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.
3Pea ko Taitusi, ko e Kiliki, naʻe ʻiate au ia, naʻe ʻikai siʻi te nau fekau ke kamu ia:
3Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
4Pea koeʻuhi ko e kāinga loi naʻe omi fakafufū, ʻonau hū fakafufū mai ke matakiʻi ʻetau tauʻatāina, ʻaia ʻoku tau maʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, koeʻuhi ke nau fakapōpulaʻi ʻakitautolu:
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.
5Pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te mau fakavaivai ki ai ʻi ha feituʻulaʻā siʻi ʻe taha; koeʻuhi ke ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei.
5We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
6Pea koeʻuhi ko kinautolu naʻe lahi hake, (neongo ʻenau lahi, koeʻumaʻā ia kiate au: ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ʻae ʻOtua ki he tangata:) he ko kinautolu naʻe lahi, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahā ha meʻa foʻou kiate au:
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.
7Kae kehe, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo tuku kiate au ʻae ongoongolelei ki he taʻekamu, ʻo hangē ko e tuku kia Pita ʻaia ʻoe kamu;
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.
8(He ko ia naʻa ne ngāue mālohi ʻia Pita ki he ngāue fakaʻaposetolo ki he kamu, ko ia ia naʻe mālohi ʻiate au ki he kakai Senitaile:)
8For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
9Pea kuo mamata ʻa Semisi, mo Kifasi, mo Sione, ʻakinautolu naʻe hangē ko e ngaahi pou, ki he ʻofa kuo foaki kiate au, naʻa nau tuku mai kiate au mo Pānepasa ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe feʻofoʻofani: ke ma ʻalu ki he kakai Senitaile, ka ko kinautolu ki he kamu.
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.
10ʻO nau pehē pe, kema manatu ki he kakai masiva; ʻae meʻa ko ia foki naʻaku fie fai ki ai.
10They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
11Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Pita ki ʻAniteoke, naʻaku tuʻu hake ʻo valoki ia, koeʻuhi naʻe totonu hono valokiʻi.
11When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.
12Koeʻuhi ʻi he teʻeki ai haʻu ʻae niʻihi mei ʻa Semisi, naʻe kai fakataha ia mo e kakai Senitaile: ka ʻi heʻenau hoko mai, naʻe mahuʻi ʻo ne fakamavae ia, ko e manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoe kamu.
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.
13Pea fai mālualoi mo ia ʻa hono toe ʻoe kau Siu foki; ko ia naʻe ʻauhia ai foki ʻa Pānepasa ʻi heʻenau mālualoi.
13The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14Ka ʻi heʻeku mamata naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻaʻeva totonu, ʻo fakatatau ki he moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei, ne u pehē ai kia Pita, ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē, “Kapau ko koe, ko e Siu, ʻoku ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻoe kakai Senitaile, kae ʻikai hangē ko e kakai Siu, ko e hā ʻoku ke puleʻi ai ʻae kakai Senitaile ke fai ʻo hangē ko e kakai Siu?”
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?”
15Ko kitautolu ʻoku tupu ko e kakai Siu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e “kau angahala ʻae kakai Senitaile,”
15We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
16ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhia ha tangata ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono, ka ʻi he tui ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, kuo tau tui kia Sisu Kalaisi, koeʻuhi ke fakatonuhia ʻakitautolu ʻe he tui ʻa Kalaisi, kae ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono: he ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhiaʻi ha tokotaha ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono.
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.
17Pea ka lolotonga ʻetau kumi ke tau tonuhia meia Kalaisi, kuo ʻilo ʻakitautolu ko e kau angahala, pea kuo hoko ai ʻa Kalaisi ko e tauhi ʻoe angahala? ʻIkai ʻaupito.
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!
18He kapau ʻoku ou toe langaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻaku fakaʻauha, ta ʻoku ou ngaohi au ko e angahala.
18If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
19He ko e meʻa ʻi he fono kuo mate ai au ki he fono, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ki he ʻOtua.
19For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
20Kuo tutuki au ke mate ʻo hangē ko Kalaisi: ka ʻoku ou moʻui; ka ʻoku ʻikai ko au, ka ko Kalaisi ʻoku moʻui ʻiate au: pea ko ʻeku moʻui eni ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ou moʻui ʻi he tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa kiate au, ʻo ne foaki ia ʻe ia koeʻuhi ko au.
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.
21ʻOku ʻikai te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua: he kapau ʻoku mei he fono ʻae fakatonuhia, pea tā kuo pekia taʻeʻaonga ʻa Kalaisi.
21I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
