Pāvila Vēstule Galatiešiem 6
1 Brāļi, ja kāds cilvēks taptu pieķerts kāda noziegumā, tad jūs, kas esat garīgi, atgriežat tādu ar lēnprātīgu garu, lūkojot uz sevi pašu, ka arī tu netopi kārdināts.
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}.
2 Nesiet cits cita nastas, un tā jūs piepildīsiet Kristus bauslību.
[When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
3 Jo kam šķiet, ka viņš kas esot, un nav nekas, tas pieviļās savā prātā.
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.
4 Bet ikviens lai pārbauda savu paša darbu, tad tam būs teikšana pie sevis paša vien un ne pie cita.
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].
5 Jo ikkatrs nesīs savu paša nastu.
Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
6 Lai tas, kas top mācīts tai vārdā, visādu labumu izdala tam, kas viņu māca.
[You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
7 Nepieviļaties! Dievs neļaujas apsmieties. Jo ko cilvēks sēj, to tas arī pļaus.
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].
8 Ja kas sēj uz savu miesu, tas no tās miesas pļaus samaitāšanu; bet kas sēj uz To Garu, tas pļaus no Tā Gara mūžīgu dzīvošanu. (aiōnios g166)
[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)
9 Tad nu labu darīdami lai nepiekūstam; jo savā laikā arī pļausim, ja nepiekūstam.
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].
10 Tāpēc nu, kamēr mums laiks, lai labu darām visiem, bet visvairāk ticības biedriem.
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.
11 Raugāt, kādu garu grāmatu es jums esmu rakstījis ar savu paša roku.
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:
12 Visi tie, kas grib spīdēt pēc miesas, tie jūs spiež apgraizīties, tāpēc vien, ka tie Kristus krusta dēļ netaptu vajāti.
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].
13 Jo tie, kas ir apgraizīti, paši netur bauslību, bet grib, lai jūs topat apgraizīti, ka tie ar jūsu miesu varētu lielīties.
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.
14 Bet tas lai man nenotiek, ka lielos, kā vien ar mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus krustu, caur ko man pasaule ir krustā sista un es pasaulei.
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.
15 Jo iekš Kristus Jēzus nedz apgraizīšana kas ir, nedz priekšāda, bet jauns radījums.
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.
16 Un cik pēc šā priekšraksta staigās, pār tiem lai ir miers un žēlastība un pār to Dieva Israēli.
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.
17 Uz priekšu lai neviens man vairs nedara rūpes, jo es savā miesā nesu Tā Kunga Jēzus rētas.
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!
18 Mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus žēlastība lai ir ar jūsu garu, brāļi. Āmen.
My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
