Kiswahili Contemporary VersionBerean Standard Bible

1. 1NENKisha, baada ya miaka kumi na minne, nilipanda tena kwenda Yerusalemu pamoja na Barnaba, nikamchukua na Tito ili awe pamoja nami.BSBBSB: Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2. 2NENNilikwenda kwa sababu nilikuwa nimefunuliwa na Mungu, ili nikawaeleze kwa faragha wale walioonekana kuwa viongozi, ile Injili ninayoihubiri kwa watu wa Mataifa. Nilifanya hivyo kwa kuhofia kwamba nisije nikawa nilikuwa ninakimbia au nilikimbia bure.BSBBSB: I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.
3. 3NENLakini hata Tito ambaye alikuwa Myunani, hakulazimika kutahiriwa.BSBBSB: Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
4. 4NENLakini kwa sababu ya ndugu wa uongo ambao walijiingiza kwa siri katikati yetu ili kupeleleza uhuru wetu tulio nao katika Kristo Yesu, wapate kututia utumwani,BSBBSB: This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.
5. 5NENhatukukubaliana nao hata dakika moja, ili kwamba ukweli wa Injili ubaki nanyi.BSBBSB: We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
6. 6NENKwa habari ya wale waliokuwa wakubaliwe kuwa viongozi (kwangu mimi sikujali vyeo vyao, maana Mungu hana upendeleo), wale watu hawakuniongezea chochote.BSBBSB: But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—those leaders added nothing to me.
7. 7NENBadala yake walitambua kwamba nilikuwa nimekabidhiwa kazi ya kuhubiri Injili kwa watu wa Mataifa, kama vile Petro alivyokabidhiwa kuhubiri Injili kwa Wayahudi.BSBBSB: On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
8. 8NENKwa maana, Mungu aliyekuwa akitenda kazi katika huduma ya Petro kama mtume kwa Wayahudi, ndiye pia aliyekuwa anatenda kazi katika huduma yangu kama mtume kwa watu wa Mataifa.BSBBSB: For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
9. 9NENBasi, Yakobo, Kefa na Yohana, walioonekana kama nguzo za kanisa, walitupa mkono wa shirika, mimi na Barnaba walipotambua ile neema niliyopewa. Wakakubali kwamba sisi twende kwa watu wa Mataifa na wao waende kwa Wayahudi.BSBBSB: And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
10. 10NENWalichotuomba ni kwamba tuendelee kuwakumbuka maskini, jambo ambalo ndilo nililokuwa na shauku ya kulifanya.BSBBSB: They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
11. 11NENLakini Petro alipofika Antiokia, mimi nilimpinga ana kwa ana kwa sababu alikuwa amekosea kwa wazi.BSBBSB: When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
12. 12NENKabla baadhi ya watu waliotoka kwa Yakobo hawajafika, alikuwa akila pamoja na watu wa Mataifa. Lakini hao watu walipofika alianza kujiondoa na kujitenga na watu wa Mataifa kwa sababu aliwaogopa wale wa kundi la tohara.BSBBSB: For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.
13. 13NENPia Wayahudi wengine waliungana naye katika unafiki huu, hata Barnaba naye akapotoshwa na unafiki wao.BSBBSB: The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14. 14NENNilipoona kwamba hawatendi sawasawa na kweli ya Injili, nilimwambia Petro mbele ya wote, “Wewe ni Myahudi, nawe unaishi kama mtu wa Mataifa na wala si kama Myahudi. Imekuwaje basi, mnawalazimisha watu wa Mataifa kufuata desturi za Kiyahudi?BSBBSB: When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
15. 15NEN“Sisi wenyewe ni Wayahudi kwa kuzaliwa na si watu wenye dhambi kama watu wa Mataifa,BSBBSB: We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
16. 16NENbado tunajua ya kwamba mtu hahesabiwi haki kwa matendo ya sheria bali kwa njia ya imani katika Yesu Kristo. Hivyo sisi pia, tumemwamini Kristo Yesu ili tupate kuhesabiwa haki kwa njia ya imani katika Kristo, wala si kwa matendo ya sheria, kwa sababu kwa kushika sheria hakuna hata mtu mmoja atakayehesabiwa haki.BSBBSB: know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17. 17NEN“Lakini tukitafuta kuhesabiwa haki katika Kristo, inakuwa dhahiri kwamba sisi ni wenye dhambi. Je, ina maana kwamba Kristo amekuwa mtumishi wa dhambi? La hasha!BSBBSB: But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!
18. 18NENLakini ikiwa mimi ninajenga tena kile ambacho nimekwisha kukibomoa, basi ninaonyesha kwamba mimi ni mkosaji.BSBBSB: If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
19. 19NENKwa maana mimi kwa njia ya sheria, nimeifia sheria ili nipate kuishi kwa ajili ya Mungu.BSBBSB: For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
20. 20NENNimesulubiwa pamoja na Kristo, wala si mimi tena ninayeishi, bali Kristo ndiye aishiye ndani yangu. Uhai nilio nao sasa katika mwili, ninaishi kwa imani ya Mwana wa Mungu, aliyenipenda na kujitoa kwa ajili yangu.BSBBSB: I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21. 21NENSiibatilishi neema ya Mungu, kwa maana kama haki ingeweza kupatikana kwa njia ya sheria, basi Kristo alikufa bure!”BSBBSB: I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
