Galatians 6
1 Also, brethren, if a man be surprised into any fault, you, the spiritual men, set such a one right again in the spirit of meekness; taking a view of yourself, lest even you be tempted.
Ndugu zangu, ikiwa mtu ameghafilika akatenda dhambi, basi ninyi mlio wa rohoni, mrejesheni upya mtu huyo kwa roho ya upole. Lakini jihadharini, ili ninyi wenyewe msije mkajaribiwa.
2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Chukulianeni mizigo ninyi kwa ninyi, nanyi kwa njia hii mtatimiza sheria ya Kristo.
3 For if any one think himself to be something, being nothing he deceives himself.
Kama mtu yeyote akijiona kuwa yeye ni bora na kumbe sivyo, basi mtu huyo anajidanganya mwenyewe.
4 But let every one try his own work, and then he shall have boasting in himself alone, and not in another.
Lakini kila mtu na aipime kazi yake mwenyewe, ndipo aweze kujisifu, bila kujilinganisha na mtu mwingine.
5 For every one shall bear his own burden.
Kwa maana, kila mtu atauchukua mzigo wake mwenyewe.
6 Now let him, who is instructed in the word, communicate of all good things to the instructor.
Basi, yeye afundishwaye katika neno na amshirikishe mwalimu wake mema yote.
7 Do not deceive yourselves; God is not mocked: for whatever a man shows, that also he shall reap.
Msidanganyike, Mungu hadhihakiwi. Kwa kuwa kile apandacho mtu ndicho atakachovuna.
8 Therefore, he who sows to his flesh, shall from the flesh reap corruption: but he who sows to his spirit, shall from the Spirit reap life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Apandaye kwa mwili, katika mwili wake atavuna uharibifu, lakini yeye apandaye katika Roho, katika Roho atavuna uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
9 Wherefore, let us not flag in well doing; for in the proper season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Hivyo, tusichoke katika kutenda mema, kwa kuwa tutavuna kwa wakati wake tusipokata tamaa.
10 Well, then, while we have opportunity let us do good to all: but especially to them, who are of the household of faith.
Kwa hiyo, kadiri tupatavyo nafasi na tuwatendee watu wote mema, hasa wale wa jamaa ya waaminio.
11 You see how large a letter, I have written to you with my own hand.
Angalieni herufi kubwa nitumiazo ninapowaandikia kwa mkono wangu mwenyewe!
12 As many as wish to appear fair by the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
Wale wanaotaka kuonekana wazuri kwa mambo ya mwili wanataka wawalazimishe kutahiriwa. Sababu pekee ya kufanya hivyo ni kuepuka kuteswa kwa ajili ya msalaba wa Kristo.
13 For not even do the circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
Hata wale waliotahiriwa wenyewe hawaitii sheria, lakini wanataka ninyi mtahiriwe ili wapate kujivuna kwa habari ya miili yenu.
14 But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
Mungu apishie mbali nisije nikajivunia kitu chochote isipokuwa msalaba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, ambaye kwa yeye ulimwengu umesulubiwa kwangu, nami nimesulubiwa kwa ulimwengu.
15 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but a new creature.
Kwa maana katika Kristo Yesu, kutahiriwa au kutokutahiriwa si kitu, bali kule kuwa kiumbe kipya ni kila kitu!
16 Now as many as shall walk by this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and on the Israel of God.
Amani na rehema viwe na wote wanaofuata kanuni hii, na juu ya Israeli wa Mungu.
17 Henceforth let no one give me trouble, for I bear the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body.
Hatimaye, tangu sasa mtu yeyote asinitaabishe, kwa maana nachukua katika mwili wangu chapa zake Yesu.
18 The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
Ndugu zangu, neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe pamoja na roho zenu. Amen.
