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.

Brethren, even if a man be detected in a fault, do ye who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

2 Pikaua e tetahi nga whakataimaha o tetahi, hei whakarite i ta te Karaiti ture.

Bear ye one another's burdens, and thus 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.

For if a man thinketh himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth 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.

But let each one prove his own work, and then will he have his ground for boasting in himself alone, and not in comparison with another;

5 Ka riro hoki ma ia tangata e pikau tana kawenga.

for every one must bear his own load.

6 Ko te tangata e whakaakona ana ki te kupu, me whakawhiwhi e ia tona kaiwhakaako ki nga mea pai katoa.

Let him that is taught in the word share with the teacher in all good things.

7 Kei whakapohehetia koutou; kahore te Atua e tinihangatia: ko ta te tangata hoki e rui ai, ko tena tana e kokoti ai.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap;

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)

for he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (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.

And let us not be faint-hearted in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

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.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

11 Titiro ki te nui o nga reta e tuhituhi nei toku ringa ake ki a koutou.

See in what large letters I have written 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.

As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, these are constraining you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer 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 not even do they who become circumcised themselves keep the Law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory 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 God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom the world is 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 is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but 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.

And as many as walk by this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon 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.

Henceforth let no one trouble me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.

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, brethren. Amen.
