1 Ba ñu ca tegee fukki at ak ñeent, ànd naa ak Barnabas, dellu Yerusalem, yóbbaale Tit.
1Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
2 Dem naa fa, ndaxte Yàllaa ma fa yebal ci kaw peeñu. Ba ma demee, daje naa ak ñi ñu gën a fonk ca mbooloo ma, ma wéetoo ak ñoom, won leen xebaar bu baax, bi may yégal ñi dul Yawut; ngir ragal sama coonob démb mbaa tey neen.
2and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;
3 Te Tit mi ma gunge woon sax de, li mu bokk ci xeetu Gereg, taxul ñu sonal nu ci xarafal ko.
3(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised;)
4 Fekk na mbir moomu nekk coow ndax naaféq, yi yoxoosu ci sunu biir ak mébét mu bon, ngir seet yaatu gi nu am ci Yeesu Kirist, ba fexe noo defaat ay jaam.
4and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
5 Waaye yaatalunu leen benn yoon, ngir dëggug xebaar bu baax bi man a sax ci yéen.
5to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
6 Waaye ñi ñu gën a fonk --ak lu man a doon seen sag xooluma ko, ñépp a yem fa kanam Yàlla — waaye ñooñu ñu teg njiit boog, bi ma dajee ak ñoom, yokkuñu dara ci sama sas.
6But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat -- whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;
7 Gis nañu ne, Yàllaa nu yebal, muy man di Piyeer, ngir nu yégle xebaar bu baax bi; ma féetewoo ñi dul Yawut, Piyeer féetewoo Yawut yi.
7but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,
8 Ndaxte ni Yàlla jëfe ci Piyeer, miy ndawam ci Yawut yi, noonu it la jëfe ci man, may ndawam ci ñi dul Yawut.
8(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles,)
9 Te Saag, Sefas ak Yowaana nag, ñi ñu teg kenuy mbooloo mi, bi ñu ràññee yen bi ma Yàlla jagleel ci yiwam, ñu fekksi nu ci, ba jox nu loxo, man ak Barnabas, nu liggéey ca ña dul Yawut, ñoom ñu liggéey ca Yawut ya.
9and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that *we* [should go] to the nations, and *they* to the circumcision;
10 Li ñu doon laaj rekk moo di, nuy fàttaliku seen aji néew doole yi, fekk sax laxasu woon naa ci def ko.
10only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.
11 Waaye bi Sefas ñëwee dëkku Ancos, yedd naa ko ci kanamu ñépp, ndaxte li mu def jaaduwul.
11But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:
12 Ndaxte laata ndaw yi Saag yónni di ñëw, da daan bokk di lekk ak ñi dul Yawut. Waaye bi ñu agsee, te mu ragal kureel boobu faaydaal xaraf, mu dellu gannaaw, di sore ñi dul Yawut.
12for before that certain came from James, he ate with [those of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;
13 Yeneen Yawut yi it daldi ànd ak Sefas ci naaféqam, ba yóbbaale sax Barnabas.
13and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.
14 Bi ma seetee nag ne, awuñu woon ci dëgg, gi xebaar bu baax bi di jàngale, ma yedd Sefas ci kanamu ñépp ne ko: «Yaw miy Yawut, gannaaw dëddu nga aaday Yawut yi, ba dund ni ku dul Yawut, lu tax nga bëgg a sëf diiney Yawut ci ñi dul Yawut?»
14But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
15 Nun danoo cosaanoo ci xeetu Yawut, te bokkunu ci xeet, yi xamul Yàlla tey bàkkaar.
15We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
16 Teewul nu xam ne, Yàlla du àtte kenn ni ku jub ci kaw sàmm yoon, waaye ci gëm Yeesu Kirist. Kon nun itam gëm nanu Kirist Yeesu, ngir Yàlla àtte nu jub ci kaw gëm Kirist, te du ci sàmm yoon. Ndaxte du caageenug sàmm yoon mooy tax Yàlla àtte kenn ni ku jub.
16but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, *we* also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.
17 Waaye ba tey su fekkee ne nu ngi wut a jub ci kaw gëm Kirist, fekk nu ne fàŋŋ di ay bàkkaarkat, ndax nag Kirist moo sas bàkkaar? Mukk!
17Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.
18 Waaye su ma delloo di sàmm ndigali yoon, yi ma bàyyi, dëgg-dëgg dinaa wone noonu ne, moykatu yoon wi laa.
18For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.
19 Ci li jëm ci yoonu Musaa, dee naa, fekk yoon wi ci boppam moo ko waral, ngir ma man a dund, ba amal jariñ Yàlla.
19For *I*, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
20 Daajaale nañu ma ak Kirist ca bant ba, te noonu du man may dundati, waaye Kirist mooy dund ci man. Dundu mbindeef, gi may dund nag, maa ngi koy dund ci gëm Doomu Yàlla ji, moom mi ma bëgg, ba joxe bakkanam ngir man.
20I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, *I*, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.
21 Duma neenal yiwu Yàlla, ndaxte su sàmm yoon doon tax a jub fa kanam Yàlla, kon Kirist dee na cig neen.
21I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
