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}.
Vaakwangu, heva muntu na kwateka mu mafosisa, yinwe mwina luhuho mu swanela kuvooza zuna muntu mwi nzila yi shiyeme. Mu litokomele inwe muvene, ili kuti sanzi mulikiwa.
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
Mu hindisane miziyo, mi cwale ka mwi zuzilize mulawo wa Kereste.
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.
Chokuti heva zumwi na zeza kuti nji chimwi kono ni ku sena, u li chenga yiye mwine.
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].
Zumwi ni zumwi ali tatuve musevezi wa kwe. Linu mwa ve chimwi yiye mwine cheta likumuse kaacho, na sa livaambanyi ku vamwi.
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
Chokuti zumwi ni zumwi ka kulike chiputu cha kwe.
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
U zo ya va lutwa linzwa u swanela kuli yavela zintu zi lootu ni va muluti.
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].
Sanzi mu chengelelwa. Ireeza ka shewununwa. Chonse vulyo cha byeala muntu, chete na kutule.
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)
Chokuti yiye yo byela lutanga mu vuhalo bya kwe bya chivi mwa ikutule yakwe mwilyangane, kono yiye yo byela lutanga ku Luhuho, ka kutule vuhalo vu sa maani vuzwa ku Luhuho. (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].
Sanzi tusiyi kupanga ku tende vulotu. chokuti che nako yi shiyeme ka tukutule ikutulo heva ni tu sa voleli mwisule.
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.
Cwale linu, chi twina chivaka, tu pange vulotu ku zumwi ni zumwi. Tutende bulotu sihulu kwavo ve nzubo ye intumelo.
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:
Mu vone tanku zi kando zi ni ñoleli kwenu cha muñolo wangu.
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].
Vavo va sanka ku livonisa vulotu mwi nyama va mi hambiliza kwi njila mu mupato. Va tenda vulyo kuti sanzi va nyandiswa che vaka lya chifapano cha Kereste.
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.
Nanga vavo vasa pangitwe mupato ka va kuteki mulawo. Ni hakuvavulyo, va saka inwe ku va mu mupato ku tendela kuti va ve ni kulitemba hewulu lye inyama.
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.
Mane sanzi kuvi vulyo kuti nili kumusa konji che chifapano cha fumwentu Jesu Kereste. Ku zwila kwali kuti i faasi li va konkotelwa kwangu nime kwi faasi.
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.
Kamba kwina mupato kapa kakwina mupato konse. Ni hakuvavulyo, kuvumbwa kuhya kwa vutokwa.
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.
Kwavo vonse ve te va haale cheyi mpunso, inkoozo ni chisemo chi ve kuvali, ni ha Isilaele ye Ireeza.
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!
Kuzwahanu sanzi ku waniki yo ni kataza, kakuti ni kulikite imaaka ya Kereste ha muvili wangu.
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
Mi chisemo cha Simwine Jesu Kereste chive mu luhuho lwenu, vaakwangu. Amen.
