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.
Brethren! if a man should even be overtaken in any fault, ye, the spiritual, be restoring such a one, in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself, lest, even thou, be put to the test.
2 Mtangatilana kugegesana ndwika zinu na mukukita genago yati mwitimilisa malagizu ga Kilisitu.
One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.
3 Mundu akajiwona kuvya chindu kumbi chindu lepi, mwenuyo akujikonga mwene.
For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth himself;
4 Nambu kila mundu alola bwina matendu gaki. Yikavya gabwina hinu ihotola kugahekela gala geahengili changawanangisa na mundu yungi.
But, his own work, let each one be putting to the proof, and, then, for himself alone, the matter of boasting, shall he have, and not for some other,
5 Muni kila mundu iganikiwa kugega ndwika yaki mwene.
For, each one, his own proper load, shall bear: —
6 Mweiwuliwa lilovi la Chapanga na ampela muwula waki muvindu vyabwina vyeavili navyu.
Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.
7 Mkoto kukongewa, Chapanga iveveswa lepi. Cheamijili mundu ndi cheibena.
Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also 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)
Because, he that soweth into his own flesh, out of the flesh, shall reap corruption, whereas, he that soweth into the Spirit, out of the Spirit, shall reap age-abiding life. (aiōnios g166)
9 Hinu tikotoka kutotokela kuhenga gabwina, muni yetibena mulukumbi lwaki, ngati tideniki lepi mtima.
And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 Ndi muni, takayvayi takona na lukumbi, tivahengela vandu voha gabwina na neju kwa vala vevakumsadika Yesu.
Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, —but, especially, towards the family of the faith.
11 Mwavene mlola chenikuvayandikila mayandiku gavaha na chiwoko changu namwene.
See! with what large letters, unto you, I have written, 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.
As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, —only that, for the cross of Christ [Jesus], they may not be suffering persecution!
13 Muni vevadumwili jandu vene vilanda lepi malagizu, ndi vakuvagana nyenye mudumuliwa jandu muni vapata kumeka ndava ya kudumuliwa jandu kwinu.
For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, —but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.
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.
With me, however, far be it! to be boasting, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, —whereby, unto me, a world hath been crucified, and, I, unto a world;
15 Kudumuliwa amala kubela kudumuliwa jandu chindu lepi, jambu livaha ndi mundu kuvya wamupya.
For neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; —
16 Vevilanda ulongosi uwu nikuvayupila uteke na lipyana, uteke na lipyana uvya kwa vandu va Isilaeli na vandu voha va Chapanga.
And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon 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.
For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.
18 Valongo vangu ubwina wa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu uvya na pamonga nyenye. Ena.
The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
