KwabaseGalathiya 6
1 Bazalwane, uba-ke umuntu esehlelwa yisiphambeko esithile, lina abakaMoya mlungiseni onjalo ngomoya wobumnene, uziqaphele, hlezi lawe ulingwe.
And brothers, if a man is overtaken in some transgression, ye the spiritual, restore such in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself lest thou also be tempted.
2 Thwalisanani imithwalo yenu, langokunjalo gcwalisani umlayo kaKristu.
Bear the burdens of each other, and so fulfill the law of the Christ.
3 Ngoba uba umuntu ezitsho ukuthi uyilutho, engesilutho, uyazikhohlisa;
For if some man presumes to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 kodwa ngulowo lalowo kahlole owakhe umsebenzi, khona-ke ezakuba lokuzincoma ngokungokwakhe yedwa, njalo kungabi ngokomunye.
But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have the boast in himself alone and not in the other man.
5 Ngoba ngulowo lalowo uzathwala owakhe umthwalo.
For each man will bear his own burden.
6 Lofundiswa ilizwi kahlanganyele ezintweni zonke ezinhle lalowo ofundisayo.
But let him who is taught in the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
7 Lingakhohliswa, uNkulunkulu kahlekwa usulu; ngoba loba yini ayihlanyelayo umuntu yiyo leyo azayivuna.
Be not misled, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows this he will also reap.
8 Ngoba ohlanyela kweyakhe inyama, uzavuna ukubhubha kuvela enyameni; kodwa ohlanyela kuMoya uzavuna impilo elaphakade ivela kuMoya. (aiōnios g166)
Because 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)
9 Kodwa kasingadinwa ekwenzeni okuhle; ngoba ngesikhathi esifaneleyo sizavuna, uba singadinwanga.
And let us not be weary doing good, for in our own time we will reap, not desponding.
10 Ngakho-ke njengoba silethuba, asenze okuhle kubo bonke, kodwa ikakhulu kwabendlu yokholo.
So then as we have time, let us work what is good toward all men, and especially toward those belonging to a household of the faith.
11 Bonani amabala amakhulu kangaka engilibhalela ngawo ngesami isandla.
See in how large letters I wrote to you with my hand.
12 Bonke abafuna ukubukeka enyameni, yibo abalicindezela ukuthi lisokwe, kuphela ukuze bangazingelwa ngenxa yesiphambano sikaKristu.
As many as desire to make a good impression in flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of the Christ.
13 Ngoba ngitsho lalabo abasokwayo kabawugcini umlayo, kodwa bafuna ukuthi lisokwe, ukuze bazincome enyameni yenu.
For not even those who have been circumcised themselves keep law, but they want you to be circumcised, so that they may boast in thy flesh.
14 Kodwa kimi kakungabi khona ukuzincoma ngaphandle kwesiphambanweni seNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, okubethelwe ngaso umhlaba kimi, lami kuwo umhlaba.
But may it not be from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 Ngoba kuKristu Jesu ukusoka kakusizi lutho, kumbe ukungasoki, kodwa isidalwa esitsha.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 Njalo bonke abazahamba ngalesisimiso, ukuthula kakube phezu kwabo, lesihawu, laphezu kukaIsrayeli kaNkulunkulu.
And as many as will march by this standard, peace upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 Kusukela khathesi, kakungabi lamuntu ongihluphayo; ngoba mina ngithwele emzimbeni wami impawu zeNkosi uJesu.
Finally, let no man cause troubles for me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lomoya wenu, bazalwane. Ameni.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit, brothers. Truly.
