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}.
he bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ kaścid yadi kasmiṁścit pāpe patati tarhyātmikabhāvayuktai ryuṣmābhistitikṣābhāvaṁ vidhāya sa punarutthāpyatāṁ yūyamapi yathā tādṛkparīkṣāyāṁ na patatha tathā sāvadhānā bhavata|
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
yuṣmākam ekaiko janaḥ parasya bhāraṁ vahatvanena prakāreṇa khrīṣṭasya vidhiṁ pālayata|
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.
yadi kaścana kṣudraḥ san svaṁ mahāntaṁ manyate tarhi tasyātmavañcanā jāyate|
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].
ata ekaikena janena svakīyakarmmaṇaḥ parīkṣā kriyatāṁ tena paraṁ nālokya kevalam ātmālokanāt tasya ślaghā sambhaviṣyati|
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
yata ekaiko janaḥ svakīyaṁ bhāraṁ vakṣyati|
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
yo jano dharmmopadeśaṁ labhate sa upadeṣṭāraṁ svīyasarvvasampatte rbhāginaṁ karotu|
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].
yuṣmākaṁ bhrānti rna bhavatu, īśvaro nopahasitavyaḥ, yena yad bījam upyate tena tajjātaṁ śasyaṁ karttiṣyate|
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)
svaśarīrārthaṁ yena bījam upyate tena śarīrād vināśarūpaṁ śasyaṁ lapsyate kintvātmanaḥ kṛte yena bījam upyate tenātmato'nantajīvitarūpaṁ śasyaṁ lapsyate| (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].
satkarmmakaraṇe'smābhiraśrāntai rbhavitavyaṁ yato'klāntaustiṣṭhadbhirasmābhirupayuktasamaye tat phalāni lapsyante|
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.
ato yāvat samayastiṣṭhati tāvat sarvvān prati viśeṣato viśvāsaveśmavāsinaḥ pratyasmābhi rhitācāraḥ karttavyaḥ|
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:
he bhrātaraḥ, ahaṁ svahastena yuṣmān prati kiyadvṛhat patraṁ likhitavān tad yuṣmābhi rdṛśyatāṁ|
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].
ye śārīrikaviṣaye sudṛśyā bhavitumicchanti te yat khrīṣṭasya kruśasya kāraṇādupadravasya bhāgino na bhavanti kevalaṁ tadarthaṁ tvakchede yuṣmān pravarttayanti|
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.
te tvakchedagrāhiṇo'pi vyavasthāṁ na pālayanti kintu yuṣmaccharīrāt ślāghālābhārthaṁ yuṣmākaṁ tvakchedam icchanti|
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.
kintu yenāhaṁ saṁsārāya hataḥ saṁsāro'pi mahyaṁ hatastadasmatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya kruśaṁ vinānyatra kutrāpi mama ślāghanaṁ kadāpi na bhavatu|
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.
khrīṣṭe yīśau tvakchedātvakchedayoḥ kimapi guṇaṁ nāsti kintu navīnā sṛṣṭireva guṇayuktā|
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.
aparaṁ yāvanto lokā etasmin mārge caranti teṣām īśvarīyasya kṛtsnasyesrāyelaśca śānti rdayālābhaśca bhūyāt|
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!
itaḥ paraṁ ko'pi māṁ na kliśnātu yasmād ahaṁ svagātre prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cihnāni dhāraye|
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
he bhrātaraḥ asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya prasādo yuṣmākam ātmani stheyāt| tathāstu|
