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, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

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

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil 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 thinks himself to be 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.

But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

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

For each man will bear his own burden.

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

But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

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

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will 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 who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit 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’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t 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.

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good towards all men, and especially towards those who are of the household of the faith.

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

See with what large letters I 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.

As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so they may not be persecuted 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 even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so 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 far be it from me to 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 in Christ Jesus 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.

As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

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 any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded 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, brothers. Amen.
