Karatia 6
1 E oku teina, ahakoa ra i rokohanga te tangata e tetahi he, ma koutou, ma te hunga i te Wairua, e whakaara ake ia i runga i te wairua mahaki; me te titiro iho ano ki a koe, kei whakamatautauria hoki ko koe.
Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
2 Pikaua e tetahi nga whakataimaha o tetahi, hei whakarite i ta te Karaiti ture.
Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3 Ki te mahara hoki tetahi tangata ki a ia ano he mea nui ia, i te mea he kore noa iho ia, e nuka ana ia ki a ia ano.
If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 Engari ma ia tangata e whakamatau tana ake mahi, ka ai ai he mea hei whakamanamanatanga mona ki tana anake, kahore ki ta tetahi atu.
Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.
5 Ka riro hoki ma ia tangata e pikau tana kawenga.
For each one should carry his own load.
6 Ko te tangata e whakaakona ana ki te kupu, me whakawhiwhi e ia tona kaiwhakaako ki nga mea pai katoa.
Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
7 Kei whakapohehetia koutou; kahore te Atua e tinihangatia: ko ta te tangata hoki e rui ai, ko tena tana e kokoti ai.
Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
8 Ko te tangata hoki e rui ana, he whakaaro ki tona kikokiko, he pirau tana e kokoti ai o te kikokiko; ko te tangata ia e rui ana, he whakaaro ki te Wairua, ko te ora tonu tana e kokoti ai o te Wairua. (aiōnios g166)
The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
9 A kaua tatou e ngakaukore ki te mahi i te pai: tena tona wa e rite ai ka kokoti tatou ki te kahore tatou e ngoikore.
Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10 Na reira, i te mea e whai takiwa ana tatou, kia mahi tatou i te pai ki nga tangata katoa, a tera noa ake ki te hunga o te whare o te whakapono.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
11 Titiro ki te nui o nga reta e tuhituhi nei toku ringa ake ki a koutou.
See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
12 Ko te hunga e hiahia ana ko te ahua o te kikokiko kia pai, ko ratou hei mea i a koutou kia kotia; he mea kau kei whakatoria ratou mo te ripeka o te Karaiti.
Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 Kahore hoki taua hunga i kotia ana e mau ki te ture; engari e hiahia ana kia kotia koutou, kia whakamanamana ai ratou ki to koutou kikokiko.
For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
14 Ki ahau ia kaua rawa he whakamanamana, ko te ripeka anake o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, i ripekatia ai te ao ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki te ao.
But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 Kahore he aha o te kotinga, kahore o te kotingakore, engari ko te mea hanga hou.
For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
16 Na ko te hunga e haere ana i runga i tenei tikanga, kia tau te rangimarie me te mahi tohu ki a ratou, ki te Iharaira hoki a te Atua.
Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
17 A muri ake nei kaua tetahi e whakararuraru i ahau: e mau ana hoki ki toku tinana nga tohu a Ihu.
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 E oku teina, kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, ki o koutou wairua. Amine.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
