< 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}.
Ashaalongo ajangu, nnjenunji alebhaga, mmanganya nkulongoywanga naka Mbumu munnjangutilanje analebhe kabhili, ikabheje ntendanje nneyo kwa kwiitimalika akuno nnikwiiteiganga, nngakabha na mmanganyanji nnalingwanga.
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
Nnjangutananje nshilaje shenunji, pabha kwa tenda nneyo shinkamulanje shalia ja a Kilishitu.
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.
Pabha mundu aibhonaga kuti jwa mmbone, mbena nngabha jwa mmbone, anakwiitemba muntima gwakwe nnyene.
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].
Ikabheje mundu ailole ndamo yakwe nnyene. Kwa nneyo. Abhaga jwa mmbone, bhai, penepo aiiniye muntima gwakwe nnyene, na nngabha kwa kwiilinganya na ashaajakwenji.
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
Pabha kila mundu shakaitagulile nnyene kwa a Nnungu.
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
Bhai ajiganywa malobhe ga a Nnungu, anapinjikwa kwaagabhila mboka yashaipate, bhaajiganya bhakwe.
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].
Nnatembwanje, a Nnungu bhakatendelwa mbenji, pabha shoshowe sha panda mundu, shaneng'ene shosho.
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)
Pabha jojowe apanda indu ilokolilwa na shiilu, shaneng'ene kuangabhanika, ikabhe jwene shapande ili Mmbumu jwa a Nnungu, shaneng'ene gumi gwa pitipiti. (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].
Bhai, tunatotoshele kutenda indu ya mmbone, pabha tukawe ntima shituneng'ene mobha gakwe gaishilaga.
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.
Kwa nneyo, mobha gowe putukola shindu twaajangutilanje bhandu bhowe, na kaje ashaalogo ajetunji bha ngulupai imo na uwe.
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:
Nnolanje shinjite jandika kwa kuya majandiko kwa makono gangu namwene.
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].
Bhowe bhapinganga bhabhonekanje bhammbone, kwa indu ya nshiilu ni bhakunshishilishiyanga nnjalukanje. Bhanatendanga nneyo nkupinga bhanashimwanje kwa ligongo lya nshalabha gwa a Kilishitu.
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.
Pabha nkali ashaayenenji bhajalukenjebho, bhakakagulilanga Shalia ja a Musha, ikabhe bhanapinganga mmanganyanji nnjalukanje, nkupinga bhaishumiyanje ga jaluka kwenunji.
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.
Ikabheje nne, ngakwiiniya kwa shoshowe, ikabhe ga nshalabha gwa Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, pabha kwa ligongo lya gwene nshalabhago, shilambolyo shishiwa kwa ligongo lyangu, na nne njiwa kwa ligongo lya shilambolyo.
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.
Pabha kujaluka eu ungajaluka nngabha shindu shammbone, shili shammbone, ni mundu kubha jwa ambi.
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.
Nguna kwaapinjilanga ulele bhowe bhaakagulilanga genego, ulele na shiya sha a Nnungu bhapatanje Bhaishilaeli bha a Nnungu.
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!
Bhai, tandubhila nnaino mundu jojowe anang'abhuye, pabha nshiilu shangu njijandika lulembo lwa a Yeshu.
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
Ashalongo ajangunji, nema ja Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu jitame mmitima jenunji. Amina.
