Mga Galacia 6
1 Mga kapatid, kung ang isang tao ay nahuli sa ilang pagkakasala, kayo na espiritwal ang dapat magpanumbalik sa taong iyon sa espiritu ng kahinahunan. Bantayan ninyo ang inyong sarili, upang hindi kayo matukso.
My fellow believers, if [you] discover that a person [among your congregation] is sinning, [those of] you whom [God’s] Spirit [is directing and empowering] should gently correct that person. [Furthermore, each of] you [who corrects another person should] be very cautious in order that you might not [sin like that when] you are tempted {[when something] tempts you}.
2 Buhatin ninyo ang pasanin ng bawat isa, at nang sa gayon ay matupad ninyo ang kautusan ni Cristo.
[When there are ones who have] problems, you should help each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.
3 Sapagkat kung sinuman ang nag-iisip na siya ay mahalaga gayong wala siyang halaga, nililinlang niya ang kaniyang sarili.
Keep in mind that those who [refuse to help others because they think that they are more important than other people, although they are] not really more important, are deceiving themselves.
4 Dapat suriin ng bawat isa ang kaniyang sariling gawa. At sa ganun mayroon na siyang maipagmayabang sa kaniyang sarili, na hindi kailangang ihambing pa ang kaniyang sarili sa iba.
Instead, each [of you] should [constantly] test/judge [and decide if you can approve what you yourself are doing and thinking]. Then you can boast because of what you yourself [are doing and thinking], and not because what you are doing is superior to what other persons [are doing].
5 Sapagkat bubuhatin ng bawat isa ang kaniyang sariling pasanin.
Keep in mind that you must each perform your own [individual] tasks.
6 Ang taong tinuruan ng salita ay dapat ibahagi ang lahat na mabuting bagay sa guro.
[You] who are being taught {whom others are teaching} [God’s truth] should share your various [material] things [EUP] with your teachers.
7 Huwag magpalinlang. Hindi madadaya ang Diyos. Anuman ang itinanim ng tao, iyon din ang kaniyang aanihin.
You should not deceive yourselves. [Remember that] God is never outwitted {no one ever fools God}. [Just like] a farmer will reap exactly the kind [of crop that] he plants [MET], [God will reward people according to what they have done] [MET].
8 Sapagkat siya na nagtanim ng butil sa kaniyang likas na kasamaan ay aani din ng kapahamakan, ngunit siya na nagtanim ng butil ng Espiritu, ay aani ng buhay na walang hanggan na galing sa Espiritu. (aiōnios g166)
[God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios g166)
9 Hindi tayo dapat mapagod sa paggawa ng mabuti, dahil sa takdang panahon magkakaroon tayo ng ani kung hindi tayo susuko.
But we should not (tire of/become discouraged while) doing what pleases God, because [eventually], at the time [that God] has determined, we will receive a reward [MET], if we do not stop [doing the good things that we have been doing].
10 Kaya nga, kung magroon tayong pagkakataon, gumawa tayo ng mabuti sa bawat isa. Magsigawa tayo ng mabuti lalo na sa mga nasa sambahayan ng pananampalataya.
So, whenever we have opportunities, we should do [what is] good to all people. But especially we should do what is good to all our fellow believers.
11 Tingnan ninyo kung gaano kalalaking mga titik ang isinulat ko sa inyo sa aking sariling sulat-kamay.
I am now writing this last part of this letter to you in my own handwriting. Notice the large letters with which I am now writing. I am doing this in order that I might emphasize this:
12 Silang naghahangad na makapagbigay kaluguran sa laman ang pumipilit sa inyo na magpatuli. Ginagawa lang nila ito upang hindi sila usigin tungkol sa krus ni Cristo.
Some Jewish believers are trying to force you to perform certain rituals so that other Jews will think highly of them. They are insisting that you be circumcised {that someone must circumcise you}. They are doing that only in order that other Jews would no longer (persecute them/cause them to suffer) for proclaiming that God will save us because of our trusting in what Christ accomplished when he died on the cross [MTY, MET].
13 Sapagkat maging ang mga tuli ay hindi sinusunod ang kautusan. Sa halip, nais nila kayong matuli upang maipagmalaki nila ang patungkol sa inyong laman.
The reason that I say that is that the ones who are insisting that you be circumcised {that someone circumcise you} do not themselves fully obey the laws that God gave to Moses. Instead, they desire that you let someone circumcise you in order that they might boast to those Jews who would (persecute them/cause them to suffer) that you did that because they insisted [MTY] that you do it.
14 Hindi sana mangyari na ako ay magmalaki maliban lang sa krus ng ating Panginoong Jesu- Cristo. Sa pamamagitan niya ang sanlibutan ay napako sa krus sa akin at ako ay sa sanlibutan.
I myself, however, strongly desire that I never boast about anything like that. The only thing I will boast about is what our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished by dying on the cross [MTY]. Because of what Christ did on the cross, I no longer am interested in the things that those who do not trust Christ [MTY] think are important, and those people are no longer interested in the things that I [MET] think are important.
15 Sapagkat hindi mahalaga ang pagtutuli o hindi pagtutuli. Sa halip, ang bagong nilalang ang mahalaga.
I will boast about Christ dying on the cross because God is concerned neither that people are circumcised nor that people are not circumcised. Instead, he is concerned only that people conduct their lives in a completely new way.
16 Sa lahat ng mga nabubuhay sa ganitong patakaran, sumakanila nawa ang biyaya at awa, at ganun din sa Israel ng Diyos.
I pray that God will give inner peace and act kindly towards all who will act according to this new way of life. It is all those who live according to this new way of life who are now truly God’s people [MET], as the Israeli people were God’s people previously.
17 Mula ngayon wala ng manggugulo sa akin, sapagkat dala-dala ko ang mga marka ni Cristo sa aking katawan.
Finally, I say that people have persecuted me/caused me to suffer for declaring the truth about Jesus, and as a result I have scars on my body. Your new teachers do not have scars like mine! So do not trouble/bother me about these matters again!
18 Nawa ang biyaya ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo ay sumainyo, mga kapatid. Amen.
My fellow believers, I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will kindly accomplish what he desires within you. (Amen!/May it be so!)
