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

¹Potem čez štirinajst let sem zopet šel gori v Jeruzalem z Barnabom in vzel s seboj tudi Tita.

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.

²Šel sem pa gori po razodetju in sem jim razložil evangelij, ki ga propovedujem med pogani, a posebe njim, ki so kaj veljali, da bi ne bil moj trud prej ali slej zaman.

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

³Ali tudi Tit, ki je bil z menoj in je bil Grk, ni bil prisiljen, da se obreže.

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;

⁴To pa zavoljo krivih bratov, ki so se prikradli in vmes vrinili, oprezovat svobodo našo, ki jo imamo v Kristusu Jezusu, da bi nas zasužnjili;

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.

⁵katerim se niti za uro nismo vdali in podvrgli, da bi resnica evangelija ostala pri vas.

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,

⁶Od tistih pa, ki so kaj veljali (kakšni so bili nekdaj, zato mi nič ni; Bog ne gleda, kdo je kdo), ti namreč, ki so kaj veljali, niso meni nič pridali;

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

⁷temuč nasprotno, videč, da je meni zaupan evangelij za neobrezo kakor Petru za obrezo

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

⁸(kajti On, ki je v Petru deloval za apostolstvo obreze, je deloval tudi v meni za pogane),

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.

⁹in spoznavši milost, ki mi je dana, so podali Jakob in Kefa in Janez, ki so veljali za stebre, desnice meni in Barnabu v potrjenje tovarištva, naj greva midva med pogane, a oni med obrezo,

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

¹⁰samo da se spominjava ubogih; za to sem se tudi potrudil, da se tako stori.

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

¹¹Ko pa je prišel Kefa v Antiohijo, sem ga iz oči v oči karal, ker je bil graje vreden.

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.

¹²Kajti preden so prišli nekateri od Jakoba, je jedel s pogani; ko so pa prišli, se je umikal in se ločil, boječ se tistih, ki so bili iz obreze.

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

¹³In ž njim vred so se hlinili tudi drugi Judje, tako da je tudi Barnaba zavedlo njih hlinjenje.

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?

¹⁴Ali ko sem videl, da ne hodijo prav po resnici evangelija, sem rekel Kefu pred vsemi: Če ti, ki si Jud, poganski živiš in ne judovski, zakaj siliš pogane, da žive judovski? –

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

¹⁵Mi smo po rodu Judje in ne iz poganov grešniki,

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.

¹⁶ker pa vemo, da se ne opravičuje človek iz del postave, nego samo po veri v Jezusa Kristusa, smo sprejeli tudi mi vero v Kristusa Jezusa, da bi bili opravičeni iz vere Kristusove in ne iz del postave, ker se iz del postave ne opraviči nobeno meso.

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

¹⁷Ako smo pa mi pri tem, ko iščemo biti opravičeni v Kristusu, tudi sami spoznani za grešnike, je li torej Kristus grehu služabnik? Nikakor ne.

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

¹⁸Zakaj če zidam zopet to, kar sem podrl, se kažem sam, da sem prestopnik.

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

¹⁹Jaz sem namreč po postavi umrl postavi, da Bogu živim.

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.

²⁰S Kristusom sem na križ razpet. Živim pa ne več jaz, marveč Kristus živi v meni; kolikor pa sedaj živim v mesu, živim v veri Sinu Božjega, ki me je ljubil in dal samega sebe zame.Ne zametam milosti Božje, kajti če je po postavi pravičnost, je Kristus zastonj umrl.

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

²¹Ne zametam milosti Božje, kajti če je po postavi pravičnost, je Kristus zastonj umrl.
