Galatians 6
1 Brothers, even if a man may be overtaken in any trespass, you who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself—lest you also may be tempted.
Bazalwane, uba-ke umuntu esehlelwa yisiphambeko esithile, lina abakaMoya mlungiseni onjalo ngomoya wobumnene, uziqaphele, hlezi lawe ulingwe.
2 Bear the burdens of one another, and so fill up the law of the Christ,
Thwalisanani imithwalo yenu, langokunjalo gcwalisani umlayo kaKristu.
3 for if anyone thinks [himself] to be something—being nothing—he deceives himself;
Ngoba uba umuntu ezitsho ukuthi uyilutho, engesilutho, uyazikhohlisa;
4 and let each one prove his own work, and then he will have the glorying in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to the other,
kodwa ngulowo lalowo kahlole owakhe umsebenzi, khona-ke ezakuba lokuzincoma ngokungokwakhe yedwa, njalo kungabi ngokomunye.
5 for each one will bear his own burden.
Ngoba ngulowo lalowo uzathwala owakhe umthwalo.
6 And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing in all good things.
Lofundiswa ilizwi kahlanganyele ezintweni zonke ezinhle lalowo ofundisayo.
7 Do not be led astray: God is not mocked; for what a man may sow—that he will also reap,
Lingakhohliswa, uNkulunkulu kahlekwa usulu; ngoba loba yini ayihlanyelayo umuntu yiyo leyo azayivuna.
8 because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh will reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit will reap continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
Ngoba ohlanyela kweyakhe inyama, uzavuna ukubhubha kuvela enyameni; kodwa ohlanyela kuMoya uzavuna impilo elaphakade ivela kuMoya. (aiōnios g166)
9 and in doing good we should not be weary, for at the proper time we will reap—not desponding;
Kodwa kasingadinwa ekwenzeni okuhle; ngoba ngesikhathi esifaneleyo sizavuna, uba singadinwanga.
10 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially to those of the household of faith.
Ngakho-ke njengoba silethuba, asenze okuhle kubo bonke, kodwa ikakhulu kwabendlu yokholo.
11 You see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand;
Bonani amabala amakhulu kangaka engilibhalela ngawo ngesami isandla.
12 as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised—only that they may not be persecuted for the Cross of the Christ,
Bonke abafuna ukubukeka enyameni, yibo abalicindezela ukuthi lisokwe, kuphela ukuze bangazingelwa ngenxa yesiphambano sikaKristu.
13 for neither do those circumcised keep the Law themselves, but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
Ngoba ngitsho lalabo abasokwayo kabawugcini umlayo, kodwa bafuna ukuthi lisokwe, ukuze bazincome enyameni yenu.
14 And for me, let it not be—to glory, except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world;
Kodwa kimi kakungabi khona ukuzincoma ngaphandle kwesiphambanweni seNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, okubethelwe ngaso umhlaba kimi, lami kuwo umhlaba.
15 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;
Ngoba kuKristu Jesu ukusoka kakusizi lutho, kumbe ukungasoki, kodwa isidalwa esitsha.
16 and as many as walk by this rule—peace on them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
Njalo bonke abazahamba ngalesisimiso, ukuthula kakube phezu kwabo, lesihawu, laphezu kukaIsrayeli kaNkulunkulu.
17 From now on, let no one give me trouble, for I carry the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body.
Kusukela khathesi, kakungabi lamuntu ongihluphayo; ngoba mina ngithwele emzimbeni wami impawu zeNkosi uJesu.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit, brothers! Amen.
Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lomoya wenu, bazalwane. Ameni.
