Galatians 6
1 Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.
Bazalwane, nxa umuntu ethunjwe yisono esithile lina eliphila ngokoMoya kumele limbuyise kakuhle. Kodwa lizinanzelele ukuthi lani futhi lingalingwa.
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the Torah of Messiah.
Thwalani imithwalo yomunye lomunye, ngalokho lizagcwalisa umthetho kaKhristu.
3 For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Nxa umuntu ezitshaya ulutho yena engasilutho, uyazikhohlisa.
4 But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.
Umuntu munye ngamunye kahlole izenzo zakhe. Ngalokho angaziqhenya, kungekho ukuziqathanisa lomunye,
5 For each man will bear his own burden.
ngoba lowo lalowo kumele athwale umthwalo wakhe.
6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
Loba ngubani othola ukufundiswa ngelizwi umele abelane zonke izinto ezinhle lalowo omfundisayo.
7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Lingakhohliswa: UNkulunkulu kahlekwa. Umuntu uvuna lokho akuhlanyelayo.
8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Lowo ohlanyela ukuthokozisa inyama yakhe, kuleyonyama uzavuna ukuchitheka; lowo ohlanyela ukuthokozisa uMoya, kuMoya uzavuna ukuphila okulaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
9 Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.
Kasingadinwa yikwenza okuhle ngoba ngesikhathi esifaneleyo sizavuna isivuno nxa singadeli.
10 So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good towards all men, and especially towards those who are of the household of the faith.
Ngakho-ke, njengokuba silethuba kasenzeni okulungileyo ebantwini bonke ikakhulu kulabo abangabemuli yabakholwayo.
11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
Khangelani ukuthi makhulu kanganani amabala engiwasebenzisayo lapho ngililobela ngesami isandla!
12 As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so they may not be persecuted for the cross of Messiah.
Labo abafuna ukubukwa enyameni bazama ukulincindezela ukuba lisoke. Isizatho sokuba benze lokhu yikuba babalekele ukuhlukuluzelwa isiphambano sikaKhristu kuphela.
13 For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.
Lalabo abasokileyo kabawulaleli umthetho kodwa bafuna ukuba lisoke ukuze bazincome ngemizimba yenu.
14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Mina kangingazincomi lanini ngaphandle kwangesiphambano seNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu, umhlaba wonke owabethelwa ngaso kimi, lami njalo emhlabeni.
15 For in Messiah Yeshua neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
Ukusoka loba ukungasoki akutsho lutho; okuqakathekileyo yikudalwa kutsha.
16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
Ukuthula lesihawu kubo bonke abalandela umthetho lo, kanye laku-Israyeli kaNkulunkulu.
17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Yeshua branded on my body.
Okokucina, akungabi lamuntu ongibangela uhlupho, ngoba emzimbeni wami ngilempawu zikaJesu.
18 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu kawube lomoya wenu bazalwane. Ameni.
