加拉太書 2

過了十四年，我同巴拿巴又上耶路撒冷去，並帶着提多同去。

guò le shí sì nián ， wǒ tóng bā ná bā yòu shàng yē lù sā lěng qù ， bìng dài zhe tí duō tóng qù 。

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

我是奉啟示上去的，把我在外邦人中所傳的福音對弟兄們陳說；卻是背地裏對那有名望之人說的，惟恐我現在，或是從前，徒然奔跑。

wǒ shì fèng qǐ shì shàng qù de ， bǎ wǒ zài wài bāng rén zhōng suǒ chuán de fú yīn duì dì xiong men chén shuō ； què shì bèi dì lǐ duì nà yǒu míng wàng zhī rén shuō de ， wéi kǒng wǒ xiàn zài ， huò shì cóng qián ， tú rán bēn pǎo 。

I 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.

但與我同去的提多，雖是希臘人，也沒有勉強他受割禮；

dàn yǔ wǒ tóng qù de tí duō ， suī shì xī là rén ， yě méi yǒu miǎn qiǎng tā shòu gē lǐ ；

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

因為有偷着引進來的假弟兄，私下窺探我們在基督耶穌裏的自由，要叫我們作奴僕。

yīn wèi yǒu tōu zhe yǐn jìn lái de jiǎ dì xiong ， sī xià kuī tàn wǒ men zài jī dū yē sū lǐ de zì yóu ， yào jiào wǒ men zuò nú pú 。

This 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,

我們就是一刻的工夫也沒有容讓順服他們，為要叫福音的真理仍存在你們中間。

wǒ men jiù shì yí kè de gōng fū yě méi yǒu róng ràng shùn fú tā men ， wèi yào jiào fú yīn de zhēn lǐ réng cún zài nǐ men zhōng jiān 。

to 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.

至於那些有名望的，不論他是何等人，都與我無干。上帝不以外貌取人。那些有名望的，並沒有加增我甚麼，

zhì yú nà xiē yǒu míng wàng de ， bú lùn tā shì hé děng rén ， dōu yǔ wǒ wú gān 。 shén bù yǐ wài mào qǔ rén 。 nà xiē yǒu míng wàng de ， bìng méi yǒu jiā zēng wǒ shén me ，

But 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,

反倒看見了主託我傳福音給那未受割禮的人，正如託彼得傳福音給那受割禮的人。（

fǎn dǎo kàn jiàn le zhǔ tuō wǒ chuán fú yīn gěi nà wèi shòu gē lǐ de rén ， zhèng rú tuō bǐ dé chuán fú yīn gěi nà shòu gē lǐ de rén 。（

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—

那感動彼得、叫他為受割禮之人作使徒的，也感動我，叫我為外邦人作使徒；）

nà gǎn dòng bǐ dé 、 jiào tā wèi shòu gē lǐ zhī rén zuò shǐ tú de ， yě gǎn dòng wǒ ， jiào wǒ wèi wài bāng rén zuò shǐ tú ；）

for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—

又知道所賜給我的恩典，那稱為教會柱石的雅各、磯法、約翰，就向我和巴拿巴用右手行相交之禮，叫我們往外邦人那裏去，他們往受割禮的人那裏去。

yòu zhī dào suǒ cì gěi wǒ de ēn diǎn ， nà chēng wéi jiào huì zhù shí de yǎ gè 、 jī fǎ 、 yuē hàn ， jiù xiàng wǒ hé bā ná bā yòng yòu shǒu xíng xiāng jiāo zhī lǐ ， jiào wǒ men wǎng wài bāng rén nà lǐ qù ， tā men wǎng shòu gē lǐ de rén nà lǐ qù 。

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

只是願意我們記念窮人；這也是我本來熱心去行的。

zhǐ shì yuàn yì wǒ men jì niàn qióng rén ； zhè yě shì wǒ běn lái rè xīn qù xíng de 。

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

後來，磯法到了安提阿；因他有可責之處，我就當面抵擋他。

hòu lái ， jī fǎ dào le ān tí ā ； yīn tā yǒu kě zé zhī chù ， wǒ jiù dāng miàn dǐ dǎng tā 。

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

從雅各那裏來的人未到以先，他和外邦人一同吃飯，及至他們來到，他因怕奉割禮的人，就退去與外邦人隔開了。

cóng yǎ gè nà lǐ lái de rén wèi dào yǐ xiān ， tā hé wài bāng rén yì tóng chī fàn ， jí zhì tā men lái dào ， tā yīn pà fèng gē lǐ de rén ， jiù tuì qù yǔ wài bāng rén gé kāi le 。

For 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.

其餘的猶太人也都隨着他裝假，甚至連巴拿巴也隨夥裝假。

qí yú de yóu tài rén yě dōu suí zhe tā zhuāng jiǎ ， shèn zhì lián bā ná bā yě suí huǒ zhuāng jiǎ 。

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

但我一看見他們行的不正，與福音的真理不合，就在眾人面前對磯法說：「你既是猶太人，若隨外邦人行事，不隨猶太人行事，怎麼還勉強外邦人隨猶太人呢？」

dàn wǒ yí kàn jiàn tā men xíng de bú zhèng ， yǔ fú yīn de zhēn lǐ bù hé ， jiù zài zhòng rén miàn qián duì jī fǎ shuō ：「 nǐ jì shì yóu tài rén ， ruò suí wài bāng rén xíng shì ， bù suí yóu tài rén xíng shì ， zěn me hái miǎn qiǎng wài bāng rén suí yóu tài rén ne ？」

But 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?

我們這生來的猶太人，不是外邦的罪人；

wǒ men zhè shēng lái de yóu tài rén ， bú shì wài bāng de zuì rén ；

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

既知道人稱義不是因行律法，乃是因信耶穌基督，連我們也信了基督耶穌，使我們因信基督稱義，不因行律法稱義；因為凡有血氣的，沒有一人因行律法稱義。

jì zhī dào rén chēng yì bú shì yīn xíng lǜ fǎ ， nǎi shì yīn xìn yē sū jī dū ， lián wǒ men yě xìn le jī dū yē sū ， shǐ wǒ men yīn xìn jī dū chēng yì ， bù yīn xíng lǜ fǎ chēng yì ； yīn wèi fán yǒu xuè qì de ， méi yǒu yì rén yīn xíng lǜ fǎ chēng yì 。

yet 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.

我們若求在基督裏稱義，卻仍舊是罪人，難道基督是叫人犯罪的嗎？斷乎不是！

wǒ men ruò qiú zài jī dū lǐ chēng yì ， què réng jiù shì zuì rén ， nán dào jī dū shì jiào rén fàn zuì de ma ？ duàn hū bú shì ！

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

我素來所拆毀的，若重新建造，這就證明自己是犯罪的人。

wǒ sù lái suǒ chāi huǐ de ， ruò chóng xīn jiàn zào ， zhè jiù zhèng míng zì jǐ shì fàn zuì de rén 。

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

我因律法，就向律法死了，叫我可以向上帝活着。

wǒ yīn lǜ fǎ ， jiù xiàng lǜ fǎ sǐ le ， jiào wǒ kě yǐ xiàng shén huó zhe 。

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

我已經與基督同釘十字架，現在活着的不再是我，乃是基督在我裏面活着；並且我如今在肉身活着，是因信上帝的兒子而活；他是愛我，為我捨己。

wǒ yǐ jīng yǔ jī dū tóng dīng shí zì jià ， xiàn zài huó zhe de bú zài shì wǒ ， nǎi shì jī dū zài wǒ lǐ miàn huó zhe ； bìng qiě wǒ rú jīn zài ròu shēn huó zhe ， shì yīn xìn shén de ér zi ér huó ； tā shì ài wǒ ， wèi wǒ shè jǐ 。

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives 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.

我不廢掉上帝的恩；義若是藉着律法得的，基督就是徒然死了。

wǒ bú fèi diào shén de ēn ； yì ruò shì jiè zhe lǜ fǎ dé de ， jī dū jiù shì tú rán sǐ le 。

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