KwabaseGalathiya 6
1 Bazalwane, uba-ke umuntu esehlelwa yisiphambeko esithile, lina abakaMoya mlungiseni onjalo ngomoya wobumnene, uziqaphele, hlezi lawe ulingwe.
My brethren, if a man of you be overtaken by a fault, you who are in the Spirit, regain him, in the spirit of meekness, and beware lest you also be tempted.
2 Thwalisanani imithwalo yenu, langokunjalo gcwalisani umlayo kaKristu.
And bear the burden of one another, and so fulfil the law of the Meshiha.
3 Ngoba uba umuntu ezitsho ukuthi uyilutho, engesilutho, uyazikhohlisa;
For if a man consider that he is something, while he is not, he deceiveth himself.
4 kodwa ngulowo lalowo kahlole owakhe umsebenzi, khona-ke ezakuba lokuzincoma ngokungokwakhe yedwa, njalo kungabi ngokomunye.
But let every man prove his work, and then in himself he shall exult, and not in others.
5 Ngoba ngulowo lalowo uzathwala owakhe umthwalo.
For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 Lofundiswa ilizwi kahlanganyele ezintweni zonke ezinhle lalowo ofundisayo.
But let him who heareth the word, communicate to him from whom he heareth it, in all good things.
7 Lingakhohliswa, uNkulunkulu kahlekwa usulu; ngoba loba yini ayihlanyelayo umuntu yiyo leyo azayivuna.
Do not err. Aloha is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that he reapeth.
8 Ngoba ohlanyela kweyakhe inyama, uzavuna ukubhubha kuvela enyameni; kodwa ohlanyela kuMoya uzavuna impilo elaphakade ivela kuMoya. (aiōnios g166)
He who in the flesh soweth, from the flesh corruption reapeth; and he who in the Spirit soweth, from the Spirit the life that is eternal shall reap. (aiōnios g166)
9 Kodwa kasingadinwa ekwenzeni okuhle; ngoba ngesikhathi esifaneleyo sizavuna, uba singadinwanga.
And while we do that which is good, let it not weary us; for the time will be when we shall reap, and it will not weary us.
10 Ngakho-ke njengoba silethuba, asenze okuhle kubo bonke, kodwa ikakhulu kwabendlu yokholo.
Now, therefore, while the time is ours, let us do good unto every man, and especially to the sons of the house of the faith.
11 Bonani amabala amakhulu kangaka engilibhalela ngawo ngesami isandla.
You see these letters which I have written to you with my hands.
12 Bonke abafuna ukubukeka enyameni, yibo abalicindezela ukuthi lisokwe, kuphela ukuze bangazingelwa ngenxa yesiphambano sikaKristu.
They who would glory in the flesh would constrain you to be circumcised; only lest for the cross of the Meshiha they might be persecuted.
13 Ngoba ngitsho lalabo abasokwayo kabawugcini umlayo, kodwa bafuna ukuthi lisokwe, ukuze bazincome enyameni yenu.
For neither do these who are circumcised keep the law; but they will that you be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.
14 Kodwa kimi kakungabi khona ukuzincoma ngaphandle kwesiphambanweni seNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, okubethelwe ngaso umhlaba kimi, lami kuwo umhlaba.
But to me let it not be that I shall glory except in the cross of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by which the world is crucified unto me, and I am crucified to the world.
15 Ngoba kuKristu Jesu ukusoka kakusizi lutho, kumbe ukungasoki, kodwa isidalwa esitsha.
For circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but the new creature.
16 Njalo bonke abazahamba ngalesisimiso, ukuthula kakube phezu kwabo, lesihawu, laphezu kukaIsrayeli kaNkulunkulu.
And they who this pathway accomplish, peace be upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of Aloha.
17 Kusukela khathesi, kakungabi lamuntu ongihluphayo; ngoba mina ngithwele emzimbeni wami impawu zeNkosi uJesu.
Henceforth upon me let no man throw a burden; for the signatures of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in my body I bear.
18 Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lomoya wenu, bazalwane. Ameni.
The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with your spirit, my brethren. Amen.
