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}.
| برادران و خواهران عزیز، اگر از یک ایماندار خطایی سر بزند، شما که روحانی‌تر هستید با کمال فروتنی او را به راه راست بازگردانید؛ در عین حال مراقب باشید که خودتان نیز دچار همان وسوسه نشوید. |
2 [When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
| در تحمل مشکلات و مسائل زندگی به یکدیگر یاری رسانید، و از این طریق است که «شریعت مسیح» را اجرا خواهید کرد. |
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.
| اگر کسی خود را چنان بزرگ می‌پندارد که نمی‌خواهد به این امر گردن نهد، خود را فریب می‌دهد. چنین شخصی را نمی‌توان ایماندار واقعی دانست. |
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].
| هر کس وظیفهٔ خود را به نحو احسن انجام دهد؛ آنگاه از کار خود رضایت حاصل خواهد کرد و دیگر نیازی نخواهد داشت که خود را با دیگران مقایسه کند؛ |
5 Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
| زیرا هر کس مسئول حمل بارِ خود خواهد بود، بارِ رفتار و کردار خود. |
6 [You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
| هر که از تعلیم کلام خدا بهره‌مند می‌شود، باید معلم خود را در هر چیز نیکو سهیم گردانَد. |
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].
| اشتباه نکنید: خدا را نمی‌توان فریب داد. پس هر چه بکاریم، همان را درو خواهیم کرد. |
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)
| هر که برای ارضای خواسته‌های طبیعت گناه‌آلود خود بذر بکارد، از این طبیعت گناه‌آلود تباهی و مرگ روحانی را خواهد درَوید. اما هر که برای خرسندی روح‌القدس بذر بکارد، حیات جاودانی را از همان روح درو خواهد کرد. (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].
| پس ای مؤمنین، از انجام کار نیک خسته نشویم، زیرا در زمان مقرر، پاداش خود را درو خواهیم کرد، به شرطی که دست از کار نکشیم. |
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.
| بنابراین، از هر فرصتی که دست می‌دهد، استفاده کنیم تا در حق همه نیکویی کنیم، به‌خصوص به آنانی که متعلق به خانوادۀ مؤمنین هستند. |
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:
| در خاتمه، می‌خواهم چند کلمه‌ای هم با دست خودم بنویسم. ببینید با چه حروف درشتی این مطالب را می‌نویسم! |
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].
| کسانی که می‌کوشند شما را وادار کنند که ختنه شوید، فقط یک انگیزه دارند: اینکه به شهرت و احترامشان لطمه‌ای وارد نشود و از زحمت و آزاری که در اثر اعتقاد به «نجات از طریق صلیب مسیح» متوجهٔ آنان می‌شود، در امان باشند. |
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.
| این گونه معلمین خودشان ختنه شده‌اند، اما حاضر نیستند سایر احکام شریعت را رعایت کنند؛ و فقط می‌خواهند که شما نیز ختنه شوید تا بدین وسیله افتخار کنند که شما را مرید خود ساخته‌اند. |
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.
| اما خدا نکند که من به این گونه مسائل افتخار کنم. تنها افتخار من، همانا صلیب خداوند ما عیسی مسیح است. بله، به سبب همین صلیب، تمام دلبستگی‌هایی که در این دنیا داشتم، مصلوب شد و از بین رفت و من نیز نسبت به گرایشهای دنیا مصلوب شدم و مردم. |
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.
| حال، مهم نیست که ختنه شده‌ایم یا نه. تنها چیزی که مهم است، این است که آیا واقعاً دگرگون شده‌ایم و انسان جدیدی گردیده‌ایم؟ |
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.
| آرامش و رحمت الهی نصیب تمام کسانی باشد که به این شیوه رفتار می‌کنند، که اینان قوم واقعی خدا هستند. |
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!
| از این پس، دیگر بیش از این باعث رنجش خاطر من مشوید. زیرا من بر بدن خود، داغهایی را حمل می‌کنم که نشان می‌دهد متعلق به عیسی هستم. |
18 My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
| ای همسنگران مسیحی من، فیض خداوند ما عیسی مسیح با روح همهٔ شما باد. آمین. |
