KwabaseGalathiya 6
1 Bazalwane, uba-ke umuntu esehlelwa yisiphambeko esithile, lina abakaMoya mlungiseni onjalo ngomoya wobumnene, uziqaphele, hlezi lawe ulingwe.
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness, paying attention to yoʋrself so that yoʋ too are not tempted.
2 Thwalisanani imithwalo yenu, langokunjalo gcwalisani umlayo kaKristu.
Bear one another's burdens, and in this way fulfill the law of Christ.
3 Ngoba uba umuntu ezitsho ukuthi uyilutho, engesilutho, uyazikhohlisa;
For if anyone thinks that he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 kodwa ngulowo lalowo kahlole owakhe umsebenzi, khona-ke ezakuba lokuzincoma ngokungokwakhe yedwa, njalo kungabi ngokomunye.
But each person should test his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
5 Ngoba ngulowo lalowo uzathwala owakhe umthwalo.
For each person will bear his own load.
6 Lofundiswa ilizwi kahlanganyele ezintweni zonke ezinhle lalowo ofundisayo.
Now the one who is instructed in the word must share all good things with the one who instructs him.
7 Lingakhohliswa, uNkulunkulu kahlekwa usulu; ngoba loba yini ayihlanyelayo umuntu yiyo leyo azayivuna.
Do not be misled: God is not mocked. A person reaps what he sows.
8 Ngoba ohlanyela kweyakhe inyama, uzavuna ukubhubha kuvela enyameni; kodwa ohlanyela kuMoya uzavuna impilo elaphakade ivela kuMoya. (aiōnios g166)
For he who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but he who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. (aiōnios g166)
9 Kodwa kasingadinwa ekwenzeni okuhle; ngoba ngesikhathi esifaneleyo sizavuna, uba singadinwanga.
So let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.
10 Ngakho-ke njengoba silethuba, asenze okuhle kubo bonke, kodwa ikakhulu kwabendlu yokholo.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, and especially to those of the household of faith.
11 Bonani amabala amakhulu kangaka engilibhalela ngawo ngesami isandla.
See what large letters I am using as I write to you with my own hand!
12 Bonke abafuna ukubukeka enyameni, yibo abalicindezela ukuthi lisokwe, kuphela ukuze bangazingelwa ngenxa yesiphambano sikaKristu.
It is those who want to make a good appearance in the flesh who compel you to be circumcised, but only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 Ngoba ngitsho lalabo abasokwayo kabawugcini umlayo, kodwa bafuna ukuthi lisokwe, ukuze bazincome enyameni yenu.
For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.
14 Kodwa kimi kakungabi khona ukuzincoma ngaphandle kwesiphambanweni seNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, okubethelwe ngaso umhlaba kimi, lami kuwo umhlaba.
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 Ngoba kuKristu Jesu ukusoka kakusizi lutho, kumbe ukungasoki, kodwa isidalwa esitsha.
For in Christ Jesus neither does circumcision have any significance, nor uncircumcision, but what matters is whether we become a new creation.
16 Njalo bonke abazahamba ngalesisimiso, ukuthula kakube phezu kwabo, lesihawu, laphezu kukaIsrayeli kaNkulunkulu.
As for all who follow this standard, peace and mercy be upon them and upon the Israel of God.
17 Kusukela khathesi, kakungabi lamuntu ongihluphayo; ngoba mina ngithwele emzimbeni wami impawu zeNkosi uJesu.
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus on my body.
18 Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lomoya wenu, bazalwane. Ameni.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
