Galacia 6

1 Mga igsoon, kung ang usa ka tawo madakpan sa pipila ka paglapas, kamo nga mga espirituwal kinahanglan magpahiuli nianang tawhana sa espiritu sa kalumo. Pagmabinantayon kamo sa inyong kaugalingon, aron nga dili kamo matintal.

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}.

2 Pas-ana ang mga kabug-aton sa uban, ug aron inyong matuman ang balaod ni Cristo.

[When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.

3 Kung si bisan kinsa nga naghunahuna nga siya labaw bisan siya dili, gilimbongan niya ang iyang kaugalingon.

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.

4 Ang matag-usa kinahanglan magsusi sa iyang kaugalingon nga binuhatan. Unya siya anaay usa ka butang sa iyang kaugalingon lamang nga mahimong ikapasigarbo, sa walay pagtandi sa iyang kaugalingon ngadto kang bisan kinsa.

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].

5 Tungod kay ang matag-usa magpas-an sa iyang kaugalingon nga palas-anon.

Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.

6 Ang usa nga natudloan sa pulong kinahanglan magpaambit sa tanan nga maayong mga butang uban sa magtutudlo.

[You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.

7 Ayaw pagpalimbong. Ang Dios dili mabiaybiayon. Bisan unsa ang gitanom sa tawo, mao usab kana ang iyang paga-anihon.

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].

8 Kay siya nga nagpugas sa liso diha sa iyang tawhanong kinaiya anihon ang kalaglagan, apan siya nga nagpugas sa liso diha sa Espiritu, anihon ang kinabuhing walay kataposan gikan sa Espiritu. (aiōnios g166)

[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)

9 Kinahanglan dili kita kapoyan sa pagbuhat ug maayo, kay sa hustong panahon mag-ani kita kung dili kita moundang.

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].

10 Mao nga, kung kita adunay kahigayonan, magbuhat kita ug maayo ngadto sa matag-usa. Magbuhat kita ug maayo ilabina niadtong anaa sa panimalay sa tumutuo.

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.

11 Tan-awa ang mga dagko nga letra nga akong gisulat kaninyo sa akong kaugalingon nga mga kamot.

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:

12 Kadtong gustong daygon sa mga tawo diha sa unod nagpugos kaninyo sa pagpatuli. Sila nagbuhat lamang niini aron nga dili sila pagalutoson alang sa krus ni Cristo.

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].

13 Bisan gani kadtong nagpatuli sa ilang kaugalingon wala nagtuman sa balaod. Hinuon, gusto nila nga matuli kamo aron nga sila magpasigarbo mahitungod sa inyong unod.

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.

14 Dili gayod mahimo nga ako magpasigarbo gawas sa krus sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo. Tungod kini kaniya nga ang kalibotan gilansang alang kanako ug ako ngadto sa kalibotan.

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.

15 Kay ang pagkatinuli o dili tinuli walay bili. Hinuon, ang pagkabag-ong binuhat maoy mahinungdanon.

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.

16 Sa tanan nga magkinabuhi niini nga mando, ang kalinaw ug kaluoy maanaa unta kanila, ug maanaa sa Israel sa Dios.

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.

17 Gikan karon ayaw tugoti ang si bisan kinsa nga magsamok kanako, tungod kay akong gidala ang mga timaan ni Jesus sa akong lawas.

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!

18 Ang grasya sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo mag-uban sa inyong espiritu, mga igsoon. Amen.

My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
