Wagalatia 6
1 Ndugu zangu, ikiwa mtu ameghafilika akatenda dhambi, basi ninyi mlio wa rohoni, mrejesheni upya mtu huyo kwa roho ya upole. Lakini jihadharini, ili ninyi wenyewe msije mkajaribiwa.
Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.
2 Chukulianeni mizigo ninyi kwa ninyi, nanyi kwa njia hii mtatimiza sheria ya Kristo.
Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.
3 Kama mtu yeyote akijiona kuwa yeye ni bora na kumbe sivyo, basi mtu huyo anajidanganya mwenyewe.
For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;
4 Lakini kila mtu na aipime kazi yake mwenyewe, ndipo aweze kujisifu, bila kujilinganisha na mtu mwingine.
but let each prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in what belongs to himself alone, and not in what belongs to another.
5 Kwa maana, kila mtu atauchukua mzigo wake mwenyewe.
For each shall bear his own burden.
6 Basi, yeye afundishwaye katika neno na amshirikishe mwalimu wake mema yote.
Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.
7 Msidanganyike, Mungu hadhihakiwi. Kwa kuwa kile apandacho mtu ndicho atakachovuna.
Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.
8 Apandaye kwa mwili, katika mwili wake atavuna uharibifu, lakini yeye apandaye katika Roho, katika Roho atavuna uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
9 Hivyo, tusichoke katika kutenda mema, kwa kuwa tutavuna kwa wakati wake tusipokata tamaa.
but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.
10 Kwa hiyo, kadiri tupatavyo nafasi na tuwatendee watu wote mema, hasa wale wa jamaa ya waaminio.
So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.
11 Angalieni herufi kubwa nitumiazo ninapowaandikia kwa mkono wangu mwenyewe!
See how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
12 Wale wanaotaka kuonekana wazuri kwa mambo ya mwili wanataka wawalazimishe kutahiriwa. Sababu pekee ya kufanya hivyo ni kuepuka kuteswa kwa ajili ya msalaba wa Kristo.
As many as desire to have a fair appearance in [the] flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.
13 Hata wale waliotahiriwa wenyewe hawaitii sheria, lakini wanataka ninyi mtahiriwe ili wapate kujivuna kwa habari ya miili yenu.
For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
14 Mungu apishie mbali nisije nikajivunia kitu chochote isipokuwa msalaba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, ambaye kwa yeye ulimwengu umesulubiwa kwangu, nami nimesulubiwa kwa ulimwengu.
But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom [the] world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 Kwa maana katika Kristo Yesu, kutahiriwa au kutokutahiriwa si kitu, bali kule kuwa kiumbe kipya ni kila kitu!
For [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation.
16 Amani na rehema viwe na wote wanaofuata kanuni hii, na juu ya Israeli wa Mungu.
And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 Hatimaye, tangu sasa mtu yeyote asinitaabishe, kwa maana nachukua katika mwili wangu chapa zake Yesu.
For the rest let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.
18 Ndugu zangu, neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe pamoja na roho zenu. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
