Galatia 6

1 Koeinaakhqi, thlang pynoet mai awm a thawlh vik awhtaw, nangmih Myihla ben thlangkhqi ing kawdungnaak ing nami tlaih nami vawng aham awm hy. Cehlai na mimah ingkaw na mimah awm na ming ngaih ta uh, cemyih am awhtaw sykzoeknaak ak khuiawh tla lawt kawm uk ti.

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 Pynoet ingkaw pynoet phyih qih leng qu lah uh, vemyihna ni Khrih anaa awi ce nami soep sak hly thai hy.

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

3 U ingawm amah ingkaw amah ce ikaw na awm a ma awm loei awh ak sang soeih na ak poek qu awhtaw, amah ingkaw amah ni ang thai qunaak hy.

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 Thlang a hoei ing a bibinaak ce a noek a dak aham awm hy. Cawhtaw thlang ing ang nyhtah qu qee kaana, oek awm oek qu seh,

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 kawtih thlang boeih ing a mimah a phyihqih ce phyih boeih aham awm hy.

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

6 Toelnaak awi ak za ingtaw anih ak toelkung ing ik-oeih leek boeih ce a ning qek aham awm hy.

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

7 U ingawm koeh ni thai nak khqi seh nyng: Khawsa ve u ingawm qaih am qinna am sai thai hy. Thlang ing a saw ni a ah hly tlaih hy.

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 Pumsa ngaih thawlhnaak ak saw ing, pumsa ben seetnaak ce aat lawt kaw; Myihla kawngaih ak saw ingtaw, Myihla awh kumqui hqingnaak ce aat lawt kaw. (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 Them leek sainaak benawh tha koeh seet sak u sih, a qoeng kaana ni sai awhtaw a tym a khoek awh caang ce ni aat lawt bit kawm uh.

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 Cedawngawh a tym leek ni taak tloek awh, thlang boeih a venawh them leek sai u sih, ak cangnaak ipkhui kaw thlangkhqi aham na sai khqoet u sih.

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 Toek lah ka kut qoe qoe ing calung ak bau soeih na ka ni qee law peek khqi ve!

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 A chang benawh leeknaak sai aham ak ngaihkhqi ing nangmih ce chahhui qeet sak ngah ngah aham ngaih uhy. Vemyihna sai ham a mi ngaihnaak taw Khrih thinglam awh a khuikha ce a mik kqih a dawngawh ni.

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 Chahhui ak qeetkhqi ing zani anaa awi a mami hquut thai awh, nangmih a pumsa awh oek qu aham a mi ngaih awh nangmih ce chahhui qeet sak aham ngaih uhy.

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 Bawipa Jesu Khrih thinglam am awhtaw am oek qu qoe kawng nyng, anih awh khawmdek ve kai aham thinglam awh taai qu hawh hy, kai awm khawmdek aham thinglam awh tai qu hawh hy, kai awm khawmdek aham tai qu nyng.

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 Saithainaak tikaa taw chahhui qeet ve ikawna am awm nawh, chahhui am qeet awm ikawna am awm hy.

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 Vawhkaw hquisawinaak ak hquut Khawsa koe Israel thlangkhqi venawh, ngaihdingnaak ingkaw qeennaak awm seh.

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 A hukhit awhtaw, Jesu hatnaak ce ka pum awh ka taak hawh dawngawh, u ingawm kyinaak koeh ni pe voel seh nyng.

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 Koeinaakhqi, Bawipa Jesu Khrih am qeennaak ce nangmih ang Myihla awh awm seh nyng. Amen.

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