Galatians 6
1 My fellow believers, if [you] discover that a person [among your congregation] is sinning, [those of] you whom [God’s] Spirit [is directing and empowering] should gently correct that person. [Furthermore, each of] you [who corrects another person should] be very cautious in order that you might not [sin like that when] you are tempted {[when something] tempts you}.
兄弟よ、もし人の罪を認むることあらば、御靈に感じたる者、柔和なる心をもて之を正すべし、且おのおの自ら省みよ、恐らくは己も誘はるる事あらん。
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
なんぢら互に重を負へ、而してキリストの律法を全うせよ。
3 Keep in mind that those who [refuse to help others because they think that they are more important than other people, although they are] not really more important, are deceiving themselves.
人もし有ること無くして自ら有りとせば、是みづから欺くなり。
4 Instead, each [of you] should [constantly] test/judge [and decide if you can approve what you yourself are doing and thinking]. Then you can boast because of what you yourself [are doing and thinking], and not because what you are doing is superior to what other persons [are doing].
各自おのが行爲を驗し見よ、さらば誇るところは他にあらで、ただ己にあらん。
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
各自おのが荷を負ふべければなり。
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
御言を教へらるる人は、教ふる人と凡ての善き物を共にせよ。
7 You should not deceive yourselves. [Remember that] God is never outwitted {no one ever fools God}. [Just like] a farmer will reap exactly the kind [of crop that] he plants [MET], [God will reward people according to what they have done] [MET].
自ら欺くな、神は侮るべき者にあらず、人の播く所は、その刈る所とならん。
8 [God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios g166)
己が肉のために播く者は肉によりて滅亡を刈りとり、御靈のために播く者は御靈によりて永遠の生命を刈りとらん。 (aiōnios g166)
9 But we should not (tire of/become discouraged while) doing what pleases God, because [eventually], at the time [that God] has determined, we will receive a reward [MET], if we do not stop [doing the good things that we have been doing].
われら善をなすに倦まざれ、もし撓まずば、時いたりて刈り取るべし。
10 So, whenever we have opportunities, we should do [what is] good to all people. But especially we should do what is good to all our fellow believers.
この故に機に隨ひて、凡ての人、殊に信仰の家族に善をおこなへ。
11 I am now writing this last part of this letter to you in my own handwriting. Notice the large letters with which I am now writing. I am doing this in order that I might emphasize this:
視よ、われ手づから如何に大なる文字にて汝らに書き贈るかを。
12 Some Jewish believers are trying to force you to perform certain rituals so that other Jews will think highly of them. They are insisting that you be circumcised {that someone must circumcise you}. They are doing that only in order that other Jews would no longer (persecute them/cause them to suffer) for proclaiming that God will save us because of our trusting in what Christ accomplished when he died on the cross [MTY, MET].
凡そ肉において美しき外觀をなさんと欲する者は、汝らに割禮を強ふ。これ唯キリストの十字架の故によりて責められざらん爲のみ。
13 The reason that I say that is that the ones who are insisting that you be circumcised {that someone circumcise you} do not themselves fully obey the laws that God gave to Moses. Instead, they desire that you let someone circumcise you in order that they might boast to those Jews who would (persecute them/cause them to suffer) that you did that because they insisted [MTY] that you do it.
そは割禮をうくる者すら自ら律法を守らず、而も汝らに割禮をうけしめんと欲するは、汝らの肉につきて誇らんが爲なり。
14 I myself, however, strongly desire that I never boast about anything like that. The only thing I will boast about is what our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished by dying on the cross [MTY]. Because of what Christ did on the cross, I no longer am interested in the things that those who do not trust Christ [MTY] think are important, and those people are no longer interested in the things that I [MET] think are important.
されど我には、我らの主イエス・キリストの十字架のほかに誇る所あらざれ。之によりて世は我に對して十字架につけられたり、我が世に對するも亦 然り。
15 I will boast about Christ dying on the cross because God is concerned neither that people are circumcised nor that people are not circumcised. Instead, he is concerned only that people conduct their lives in a completely new way.
それ割禮を受くるも受けぬも、共に數ふるに足らず、ただ貴きは新に造らるる事なり。
16 I pray that God will give inner peace and act kindly towards all who will act according to this new way of life. It is all those who live according to this new way of life who are now truly God’s people [MET], as the Israeli people were God’s people previously.
此の法に循ひて歩む凡ての者の上に、神のイスラエルの上に、平安と憐憫とあれ。
17 Finally, I say that people have persecuted me/caused me to suffer for declaring the truth about Jesus, and as a result I have scars on my body. Your new teachers do not have scars like mine! So do not trouble/bother me about these matters again!
今よりのち誰も我を煩はすな、我はイエスの印を身に佩びたるなり。
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
兄弟よ、願はくは我らの主イエス・キリストの恩惠、なんぢらの靈とともに在らんことを、アァメン。
