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

¹Mi ɛeddan ṛbeɛṭac iseggasen, ɛawdeɣ uliɣ ɣer temdint n Lquds akk-d Barnabas, wwiɣ daɣen yid-i gma-tneɣ Tit.

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.

²Uliɣ, axaṭer d Sidi Ṛebbi i yi-t-id yumṛen deg uweḥḥi. Sfehmeɣ-asen lexbaṛ n lxiṛ i țbecciṛeɣ ger wid ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail ; mliɣ-asen-t weḥḥed-sen i yimeqqranen n tejmaɛt iwakken ayen xedmeɣ armi d ass-a ur ițṛuḥ ara baṭel.

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

³Tit, aṛfiq-iw yellan d ayunani, yiwen ur iḥettem fell-as ad iḍheṛ,

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;

⁴ɣas akken llan yir watmaten i d-ikecmen gar-aneɣ s tuffra, bɣan a t-ḥeṛsen ad iḍheṛ. Kecmen-d gar-aneɣ iwakken ad walin tilelli i nesɛa di tikli-nneɣ akk-d Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, bɣan a ɣ-rren d aklan-nsen.

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.

⁵Ula d yiwet n tikkelt ur nekni zdat-sen, iwakken tideț yellan di lexbaṛ n lxiṛ aț-țeqqim gar-awen.

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,

⁶Ma d wid yesɛan lqima gar-awen, [ ur iyi-tewqiɛ ara lmeɛna d acu i llan zik, axaṭer Sidi Ṛebbi ur ixeddem ara lxilaf ger yemdanen ] ; wid-nni yesɛan lqima ur ḥețțmen ara fell-i ad xedmeɣ ayen nniḍen.

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

⁷Lameɛna walan belli Sidi Ṛebbi iwekkel-iyi iwakken ad beccṛeɣ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ i wid ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail, am akken i gceggeɛ Buṭrus ad ibecceṛ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ i wat Isṛail.

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

⁸Axaṭer, Sidi Ṛebbi i gerran Buṭrus d ṛṛasul n wid yellan n wat Isṛail, yerra-yi ula d nekk d ṛṛasul n wid ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail.

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.

⁹Yeɛqub, Buṭrus akk-d Yuḥenna yețwaḥesben d imeqqranen n tejmaɛt, setɛeṛfen belli d Sidi Ṛebbi i yi-d ifkan ccɣel-agi, dɣa selmen fell-aneɣ afus deg ufus iwakken a ɣ-d-beggnen belli qeblen ayagi. Imiren nemsefham : nutni ad ṛuḥen ad beccṛen i wat Isṛail, ma d nekk akk-d Barnabas, a nṛuḥ a nbecceṛ i wid ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail ;

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

¹⁰acu kan, weṣṣan-aɣ iwakken ur ntețțu ara igellilen n tejmuyaɛ-nsen yellan di temdint n Lquds, ayagi ur stehzaɣ ara deg-s, xedmeɣ-t seg-wul.

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

¹¹Asmi i d-yusa Buṭrus ɣer temdint n Antyuc, qubleɣ-t ɣer wudem-is zdat lɣaci, axaṭer yeɣleḍ.

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.

¹²Uqbel a d-asen kra n yemdanen i d-iceggeɛ Yeɛqub, yella itețț akk-d watmaten ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail, lameɛna akken kan i d-wwḍen, iḥbes lmakla yid-sen iwexxeṛ fell-asen, axaṭer yuggad wid iṭṭfen di lɛaddat n wat Isṛail.

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

¹³Atmaten nniḍen n wat Isṛail xedmen am nețța, wexxṛen ula d nutni, yuɣal armi ula d Barnabas iɛuned-iten.

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?

¹⁴Mi walaɣ ur teddun ara akken ilaq am akken i d-yeqqaṛ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ , nniɣ i Buṭrus zdat lɣaci meṛṛa : ma yella kečč yellan seg wat Isṛail tețɛiceḍ am wid ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail, amek ara tḥeṛṣeḍ wid ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail ad ɛicen am wat Isṛail ?

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

¹⁵Nukni ur nelli ara d imednuben am leǧnas nniḍen, laṣel-nneɣ seg wat Isṛail.

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.

¹⁶Lameɛna neẓra belli amdan yețțuɣal d aḥeqqi zdat Sidi Ṛebbi s liman-ines di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, mačči imi gxeddem ayen i d-teqqaṛ ccariɛa ; daymi ula d nukni numen s Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, iwakken a nuɣal d iḥeqqiyen zdat Sidi Ṛebbi s liman di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, mačči imi nxeddem ayen i d-teqqaṛ ccariɛa n Musa. Axaṭer ula d yiwen ur izmir ad yuɣal d aḥeqqi zdat Ṛebbi imi i gettabaɛ ccariɛa n Musa.

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

¹⁷Nukni nețnadi a nuɣal d iḥeqqiyen s liman di Lmasiḥ ; ma nufa iman-nneɣ d imednuben ula d nukni am leǧnas nniḍen, eɛni d Lmasiḥ i ɣ-ițțawin ɣer ddnub ? Xaṭi !

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

¹⁸Axaṭer ma uɣaleɣ ɣer ccariɛa nni i ǧǧiɣ, ihi rriɣ iman-iw d amɛaṣi ;

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

¹⁹ɣef wayen yeɛnan ccariɛa aql-iyi mmuteɣ, yerna d nețțat i yi-wwin ɣer lmut ; ayagi yedṛa-d iwakken ad sɛuɣ tudert di Sidi Ṛebbi ; aql-iyi țwasemmṛeɣ ɣef wumidag akk-d Lmasiḥ.

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.

²⁰Tura mačči d nekk i gețțidiren, d Lmasiḥ i gețțidiren deg-i ; axaṭer tudert-iw di ddunit, țɛiceɣ-ț s liman di Mmi-s n Sidi Ṛebbi i yi-ḥemmlen yerna isebbel iman-is fell-i.

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

²¹Ur sseɣlayeɣ ara lqima n ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi, axaṭer ma nezmer a nuɣal d iḥeqqiyen zdat Ṛebbi s ccariɛa n Musa, ihi Lmasiḥ yemmut ɣef wulac !
