1Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea u toe ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema mo Pānepasa, peau ʻave ʻa Taitusi foki.
1Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
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.
2And I went up according to revelation; and communicated to them the gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles, but apart to them who seemed to be some thing: lest perhaps I should run, or had run in vain.
3Pea ko Taitusi, ko e Kiliki, naʻe ʻiate au ia, naʻe ʻikai siʻi te nau fekau ke kamu ia:
3But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Gentile, was compelled to be circumcised.
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:
4But because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude.
5Pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te mau fakavaivai ki ai ʻi ha feituʻulaʻā siʻi ʻe taha; koeʻuhi ke ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei.
5To whom we yielded not by subjection, no not for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue 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 of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time, it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man,) for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing.
7Kae kehe, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo tuku kiate au ʻae ongoongolelei ki he taʻekamu, ʻo hangē ko e tuku kia Pita ʻaia ʻoe kamu;
7But contrariwise, when they had seen that to me was committed the gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the circumcision.
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:)
8(For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought in me also among 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 when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision:
10ʻO nau pehē pe, kema manatu ki he kakai masiva; ʻae meʻa ko ia foki naʻaku fie fai ki ai.
10Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful to do.
11Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Pita ki ʻAniteoke, naʻaku tuʻu hake ʻo valoki ia, koeʻuhi naʻe totonu hono valokiʻi.
11But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
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 that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
13Pea fai mālualoi mo ia ʻa hono toe ʻoe kau Siu foki; ko ia naʻe ʻauhia ai foki ʻa Pānepasa ʻi heʻenau mālualoi.
13And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation.
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?”
14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15Ko kitautolu ʻoku tupu ko e kakai Siu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e “kau angahala ʻae kakai Senitaile,”
15We by nature are Jews, and not of the Gentiles 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.
16But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall 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 also are found sinners; is Christ then the minister of sin? God forbid.
18He kapau ʻoku ou toe langaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻaku fakaʻauha, ta ʻoku ou ngaohi au ko e angahala.
18For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator.
19He ko e meʻa ʻi he fono kuo mate ai au ki he fono, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ki he ʻOtua.
19For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross.
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.
20And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself 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 cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
