¹Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

¹Tiam, post intertempo de dek kvar jaroj, mi denove supreniris al Jerusalem kun Barnabas, kunkondukante ankaux Titon.

²I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

²Kaj mi supreniris laux Dia malkasxo; kaj mi prezentis al ili la evangelion, kiun mi predikas inter la nacianoj, sed aparte al la eminentuloj, por ke mi ne estu vane kuranta, aux kurinta.

³But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

³Sed ecx Titon, kiu estis kun mi, estante Greko, oni ne devigis cirkumcidigxi;

⁴This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

⁴sed tio estis pro la kasxe enportitaj fratoj, kiuj ruze envenis, por spioni nian liberecon en Kristo Jesuo, por ke ili nin sklavigu;

⁵to 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.

⁵al kiuj ni ne submetigxis cedeme, ecx por unu horo; por ke la vero de la evangelio restadu kun vi.

⁶But 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,

⁶Sed el tiuj, kiuj sxajne iom valoris (kiaj ajn ili estis, tio por mi ne estas grava:cxe Dio ne estas personfavorado) -tiuj valoruloj nenion aldonis al mi;

⁷but 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

⁷sed kontrauxe, kiam ili vidis, ke je la evangelio de la necirkumcido mi estas komisiita tiel same, kiel Petro je la evangelio de la cirkumcido

⁸(for he who appointed Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision appointed me also to the Gentiles);

⁸(cxar Tiu, kiu forte energiis en Petro por la apostoleco de la cirkumcido, ankaux energiis en mi por la nacianoj),

⁹and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas 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 Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

⁹Jakobo kaj Kefas kaj Johano, kiuj sxajne estis kolonoj, rimarkinte la gracon donitan al mi, donis al mi kaj al Barnabas la dekstrajn manojn de kunuleco, por ke ni iru al la nacianoj, kaj ili al la cirkumcidularo;

¹⁰They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

¹⁰kondicxe nur, ke ni memoru la malricxulojn, kion ja mi klopodis jam fari.

¹¹But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

¹¹Sed kiam venis Kefas al Antiohxia, mi lin rezistis vizagxon kontraux vizagxo, cxar li estis mallauxdinda.

¹²For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

¹²CXar antaux ol iuj alvenis de Jakobo, li kunmangxis kun la nacianoj; sed kiam ili alvenis, li sin fortiris kaj apartigis, timante tiujn, kiuj estis el la cirkumcido.

¹³And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

¹³Kaj la aliaj Judoj kune hipokritis, tiel ke ecx Barnabas mem fortirigxis per ilia hipokriteco.

¹⁴But 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?

¹⁴Kaj kiam mi vidis, ke ili ne prave kondutas laux la vero de la evangelio, mi diris al Kefas antaux cxiuj:Se vi, estante Judo, naciane vivas, kaj ne kiel Judoj, kial vi devigas la nacianojn agi laux Judismo?

¹⁵“We, being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners,

¹⁵Ni, nature Judoj, kaj ne pekuloj el la nacianoj,

¹⁶yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

¹⁶sciante, ke pravigxas homo ne per faroj de la legxo, sed nur per fido al Jesuo Kristo, ni mem en Kristo Jesuo kredis, por ke ni pravigxu per fido al Kristo, kaj ne per faroj de la legxo; tial, ke per faroj de la legxo neniu karno pravigxos.

¹⁷But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!

¹⁷Sed se, dezirante pravigxi en Kristo, ni mem montrigxis pekuloj, cxu Kristo estas servanto de peko? Nepre ne!

¹⁸For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

¹⁸CXar se mi rekonstruas tion, kion mi detruis, mi montras min pekulo.

¹⁹For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

¹⁹CXar per la legxo mi al la legxo mortis, por ke mi al Dio vivu.

²⁰I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ 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.

²⁰Kun Kristo mi krucumigxis, tamen mi vivas; jam ne mi mem, sed Kristo vivas en mi; kaj tiun vivon, kiun mi vivas en karno, mi vivas en fido al la Filo de Dio, kiu min amis kaj sin donis pro mi.

²¹I don’t make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

²¹Mi ne vanigas la gracon de Dio; cxar se per la legxo venas justeco, Kristo ja vane mortis.
