Vagalatia 6
1 Valongo vangu, ngati mkumlola mundu nunuyu abudili, hinu nyenye mwemulongoswa na Mpungu mumwuyisa kavili mundu mwenuyo, nambu muhenga kwa ungolongondi, mujiyangalila mwavene mkoto kuyingila mukulingiwa.
My friends, if someone is led astray by sin, you who are spiritual should bring them back with a gentle spirit. Watch out that you don't get tempted too.
2 Mtangatilana kugegesana ndwika zinu na mukukita genago yati mwitimilisa malagizu ga Kilisitu.
Carry each other's burdens, for in this way you fulfill the law of Christ.
3 Mundu akajiwona kuvya chindu kumbi chindu lepi, mwenuyo akujikonga mwene.
Those who think they're really something—when they're actually nothing—only fool themselves.
4 Nambu kila mundu alola bwina matendu gaki. Yikavya gabwina hinu ihotola kugahekela gala geahengili changawanangisa na mundu yungi.
Carefully examine your actions. Then you can be satisfied with yourself, without comparing yourself to anyone else.
5 Muni kila mundu iganikiwa kugega ndwika yaki mwene.
We have to take responsibility for ourselves.
6 Mweiwuliwa lilovi la Chapanga na ampela muwula waki muvindu vyabwina vyeavili navyu.
Those that are taught the Word should treat their teachers well, sharing with them all good things.
7 Mkoto kukongewa, Chapanga iveveswa lepi. Cheamijili mundu ndi cheibena.
Don't be fooled, God can't be treated with contempt: whatever you sow, that's what you reap.
8 Ndava muni mundu yeyoha mweimija mu mnogo uhakau weavelikwi nawu yati ibena mwenumo uhakau, nambu akamija kwa kulongoswa na Mpungu yati ibena wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu kuhuma kwa Mpungu Msopi. (aiōnios g166)
If you sow according to your sinful human nature, from that nature you'll reap self-destruction. But if you sow according to the Spirit, from the Spirit you'll reap eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
9 Hinu tikotoka kutotokela kuhenga gabwina, muni yetibena mulukumbi lwaki, ngati tideniki lepi mtima.
Let's never tire of doing good, for we'll reap a harvest at the proper time, if we don't give up.
10 Ndi muni, takayvayi takona na lukumbi, tivahengela vandu voha gabwina na neju kwa vala vevakumsadika Yesu.
So while we have time, let's do good to everyone—especially to those who belong to the family of faith.
11 Mwavene mlola chenikuvayandikila mayandiku gavaha na chiwoko changu namwene.
Notice how big the letters are, now that I'm writing with my own hand!
12 Vala vevigana kuloleka bwina kwa mambu ga higa ndi vevigana kuvajovela kwa makakala mdumula jandu. Vikita chenicho ndava yimonga, muni vigana lepi kung'ahika ndava ya kuwula ndava ya msalaba wa Kilisitu.
Those people who only want to make a good impression are forcing you to be circumcised just so they won't be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 Muni vevadumwili jandu vene vilanda lepi malagizu, ndi vakuvagana nyenye mudumuliwa jandu muni vapata kumeka ndava ya kudumuliwa jandu kwinu.
Even those who are circumcised don't keep the law, but they want to have you circumcised so that they can boast about you and claim you as their followers.
14 Nambu nene katu yati nimeka lepi chochoha nambu ndi msalaba wa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu, muni ndava ya msalaba wenuwo mulima woha uvambiwi kwa nene, ndava mambu ga pamulima gakuniganisa lepi nivii ngati mwenifwili kwa mambu ago.
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through this cross, the world has been crucified to me, and I've been crucified as far as the world is concerned.
15 Kudumuliwa amala kubela kudumuliwa jandu chindu lepi, jambu livaha ndi mundu kuvya wamupya.
Circumcision or uncircumcision doesn't matter—what matters is that we're created brand new!
16 Vevilanda ulongosi uwu nikuvayupila uteke na lipyana, uteke na lipyana uvya kwa vandu va Isilaeli na vandu voha va Chapanga.
Peace and mercy to all who follow this principle, and to the Israel of God!
17 Kutumbula hinu, mundu yoyoha akotoka kuning'aha kavili, muni ulangisu wenivi nawu muhiga yangu yilangisa kuvya nene ndi wa Yesu.
Please, don't anyone trouble me anymore, because I carry on my body the scars of Jesus.
18 Valongo vangu ubwina wa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu uvya na pamonga nyenye. Ena.
My brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
