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, if a man be overtaken in any fault, do ye, who are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, least thou also shouldst be 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 any one thinketh that he is 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 every one try his own work, and then he will have matter of glorying in himself alone, and not in another.
5 Ka riro hoki ma ia tangata e pikau tana kawenga.
For every one shall bear his own burthen.
6 Ko te tangata e whakaakona ana ki te kupu, me whakawhiwhi e ia tona kaiwhakaako ki nga mea pai katoa.
And let him, that is instructed in the word, communicate in all good things to him that instructeth.
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 to be 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)
He then, who 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 weary in doing good: 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.
And therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the houshold of faith.
11 Titiro ki te nui o nga reta e tuhituhi nei toku ringa ake ki a koutou.
Ye see in how 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.
They, who want to make a fair appearance in the flesh, would constrain you to be circumcised; only that 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 they, who are circumcised, do not themselves keep the law: but they would 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, unless in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by 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 in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but being created anew.
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 shall walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be on them, even upon all 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.
For the future, let no one give me uneasiness: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord 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, my brethren. Amen.
