Galatians 6
1 Brothers, even if someone is caught in some wrongdoing, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted.
Bazalwane, uba-ke umuntu esehlelwa yisiphambeko esithile, lina abakaMoya mlungiseni onjalo ngomoya wobumnene, uziqaphele, hlezi lawe ulingwe.
2 Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Thwalisanani imithwalo yenu, langokunjalo gcwalisani umlayo kaKristu.
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Ngoba uba umuntu ezitsho ukuthi uyilutho, engesilutho, uyazikhohlisa;
4 But let each one test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.
kodwa ngulowo lalowo kahlole owakhe umsebenzi, khona-ke ezakuba lokuzincoma ngokungokwakhe yedwa, njalo kungabi ngokomunye.
5 For every person will bear his own load.
Ngoba ngulowo lalowo uzathwala owakhe umthwalo.
6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
Lofundiswa ilizwi kahlanganyele ezintweni zonke ezinhle lalowo ofundisayo.
7 Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a person sows, that he will also reap.
Lingakhohliswa, uNkulunkulu kahlekwa usulu; ngoba loba yini ayihlanyelayo umuntu yiyo leyo azayivuna.
8 For 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 everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Ngoba ohlanyela kweyakhe inyama, uzavuna ukubhubha kuvela enyameni; kodwa ohlanyela kuMoya uzavuna impilo elaphakade ivela kuMoya. (aiōnios g166)
9 Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.
Kodwa kasingadinwa ekwenzeni okuhle; ngoba ngesikhathi esifaneleyo sizavuna, uba singadinwanga.
10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all people, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
Ngakho-ke njengoba silethuba, asenze okuhle kubo bonke, kodwa ikakhulu kwabendlu yokholo.
11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
Bonani amabala amakhulu kangaka engilibhalela ngawo ngesami isandla.
12 As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
Bonke abafuna ukubukeka enyameni, yibo abalicindezela ukuthi lisokwe, kuphela ukuze bangazingelwa ngenxa yesiphambano sikaKristu.
13 For even they who receive circumcision do not keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
Ngoba ngitsho lalabo abasokwayo kabawugcini umlayo, kodwa bafuna ukuthi lisokwe, ukuze bazincome enyameni yenu.
14 But far be it from me to boast, 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 neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
Ngoba kuKristu Jesu ukusoka kakusizi lutho, kumbe ukungasoki, kodwa isidalwa esitsha.
16 As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.
Njalo bonke abazahamba ngalesisimiso, ukuthula kakube phezu kwabo, lesihawu, laphezu kukaIsrayeli kaNkulunkulu.
17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
Kusukela khathesi, kakungabi lamuntu ongihluphayo; ngoba mina ngithwele emzimbeni wami impawu zeNkosi uJesu.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lomoya wenu, bazalwane. Ameni.
