Galatians 6
1 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}.
Saudara-saudara, kalaupun seorang kedapatan melakukan suatu pelanggaran, maka kamu yang rohani, harus memimpin orang itu ke jalan yang benar dalam roh lemah lembut, sambil menjaga dirimu sendiri, supaya kamu juga jangan kena pencobaan.
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
Bertolong-tolonganlah menanggung bebanmu! Demikianlah kamu memenuhi hukum Kristus.
3 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.
Sebab kalau seorang menyangka, bahwa ia berarti, padahal ia sama sekali tidak berarti, ia menipu dirinya sendiri.
4 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].
Baiklah tiap-tiap orang menguji pekerjaannya sendiri; maka ia boleh bermegah melihat keadaannya sendiri dan bukan melihat keadaan orang lain.
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
Sebab tiap-tiap orang akan memikul tanggungannya sendiri.
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
Dan baiklah dia, yang menerima pengajaran dalam Firman, membagi segala sesuatu yang ada padanya dengan orang yang memberikan pengajaran itu.
7 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].
Jangan sesat! Allah tidak membiarkan diri-Nya dipermainkan. Karena apa yang ditabur orang, itu juga yang akan dituainya.
8 [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)
Sebab barangsiapa menabur dalam dagingnya, ia akan menuai kebinasaan dari dagingnya, tetapi barangsiapa menabur dalam Roh, ia akan menuai hidup yang kekal dari Roh itu. (aiōnios g166)
9 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].
Janganlah kita jemu-jemu berbuat baik, karena apabila sudah datang waktunya, kita akan menuai, jika kita tidak menjadi lemah.
10 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.
Karena itu, selama masih ada kesempatan bagi kita, marilah kita berbuat baik kepada semua orang, tetapi terutama kepada kawan-kawan kita seiman.
11 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:
Lihatlah, bagaimana besarnya huruf-huruf yang kutulis kepadamu dengan tanganku sendiri.
12 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].
Mereka yang secara lahiriah suka menonjolkan diri, merekalah yang berusaha memaksa kamu untuk bersunat, hanya dengan maksud, supaya mereka tidak dianiaya karena salib Kristus.
13 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.
Sebab mereka yang menyunatkan dirinyapun, tidak memelihara hukum Taurat. Tetapi mereka menghendaki, supaya kamu menyunatkan diri, agar mereka dapat bermegah atas keadaanmu yang lahiriah.
14 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.
Tetapi aku sekali-kali tidak mau bermegah, selain dalam salib Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus, sebab olehnya dunia telah disalibkan bagiku dan aku bagi dunia.
15 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.
Sebab bersunat atau tidak bersunat tidak ada artinya, tetapi menjadi ciptaan baru, itulah yang ada artinya.
16 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.
Dan semua orang, yang memberi dirinya dipimpin oleh patokan ini, turunlah kiranya damai sejahtera dan rahmat atas mereka dan atas Israel milik Allah.
17 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!
Selanjutnya janganlah ada orang yang menyusahkan aku, karena pada tubuhku ada tanda-tanda milik Yesus.
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
Kasih karunia Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus menyertai roh kamu, saudara-saudara! Amin.
