< Kaletia 6 >

1 ‌ʻE Kāinga, kapau ʻe moʻua ha tangata ʻi ha kovi, ko kimoutolu ʻoku fakalaumālie, fakamoʻui ia ʻi he loto angavaivai; mo ke tokangaʻi koe, telia naʻa fakatauveleʻi ko e foki.
Also, brethren, if a man be surprised into any fault, you, the spiritual men, set such a one right again in the spirit of meekness; taking a view of yourself, lest even you be tempted.
2 Mou fetoutou fefuaʻaki hoʻomou kavenga, pea fakamoʻoni ai ki he fono ʻa Kalaisi.
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 He kapau ʻoku mahalo ʻe ha taha ko ha meʻa ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai, ʻoku ne kākaaʻi ʻe ia ia.
For if any one think himself to be something, being nothing he deceives himself.
4 Kae tuku ke ʻahiʻahi ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻene ngāue ʻaʻana, pea te ne toki maʻu ai ʻae fiefia ʻiate ia pe, kae ʻikai ʻi ha taha kehe.
But let every one try his own work, and then he shall have boasting in himself alone, and not in another.
5 Koeʻuhi ʻe taki taha fua ʻene kavenga ʻaʻana.
For every one shall bear his own burden.
6 Ko ia kuo akonekina ʻi he folofola, ke ne foaki ʻae meʻa ʻaonga kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku akonaki.
Now let him, who is instructed in the word, communicate of all good things to the instructor.
7 ‌ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kākaaʻi ʻae ʻOtua: he ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻe he tangata, ko ia te ne utu foki.
Do not deceive yourselves; God is not mocked: for whatever a man shows, that also he shall reap.
8 He ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ki hono kakano, te ne utu ʻi he kakano ʻae ʻauha; ka ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ki he Laumālie, te ne utu ʻi he Laumālie ʻae moʻui taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore, he who sows to his flesh, shall from the flesh reap corruption: but he who sows to his spirit, shall from the Spirit reap life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
9 Pea ke ʻoua naʻa tau fiu ʻi he fai lelei: he te tau utu ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu totonu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te tau vaivai.
Wherefore, let us not flag in well doing; for in the proper season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 Ko ia, pea ʻi heʻetau maʻu ha faingamālie, ke tau fai lelei ki he kakai kotoa pē, kae ʻāsili pe kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻoe tui.
Well, then, while we have opportunity let us do good to all: but especially to them, who are of the household of faith.
11 ‌ʻOku mou mamata ki he tohi lahi kuo u tohi atu kiate kimoutolu ʻaki hoku nima ʻoʻoku.
You see how large a letter, I have written to you with my own hand.
12 Ko kinautolu ʻoku holi ke matamatalelei fakakakano pe, ʻoku nau fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ke mou kamu; telia naʻa fakatangaʻi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ʻakau ʻo Kalaisi.
As many as wish to appear fair by the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 He ko kinautolu kuo kamu, ʻoku ʻikai te nau fai ki he fono; ka ʻoku nau holi ke mou kamu, koeʻuhi ke nau polepole ai ʻi homou kakano.
For not even do the circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
14 Kae mamaʻo mo au ʻae polepole, ka ʻi he ʻakau pe ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo tutuki ai ke mate ʻa māmani kiate au, mo au ki māmani.
But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 He ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga siʻi ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ʻae kamu, pe ʻae taʻekamu, ka ko e fakafoʻou.
For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but a new creature.
16 Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻo taau mo e meʻa fua ni, ke ʻiate kinautolu ʻae monūʻia, mo e ʻaloʻofa, pea ki he ʻIsileli ʻoe ʻOtua.
Now as many as shall walk by this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and on the Israel of God.
17 Ke ngata mei heni, ke ʻoua naʻa fakamamahiʻi au ʻe ha taha: he ʻoku ou fua ʻi hoku sino ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
Henceforth let no one give me trouble, for I bear the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body.
18 ‌ʻE kāinga, ke ʻi homou laumālie ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. ʻEmeni.
The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
