1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Ndugu zangu, mtu akighafilika katika kosa lo lote, ninyi mlio wa Roho mrejezeni upya mtu kama huyo kwa roho ya upole, ukijiangalia nafsi yako usije ukajaribiwa wewe mwenyewe.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Mchukuliane mizigo na kuitimiza hivyo sheria ya Kristo.
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Maana mtu akijiona kuwa ni kitu, naye si kitu, ajidanganya nafsi yake.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Lakini kila mtu na aipime kazi yake mwenyewe, ndipo atakapokuwa na sababu ya kujisifu ndani ya nafsi yake tu, wala si kwa mwenzake.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
Maana kila mtu atalichukua furushi lake mwenyewe.
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
Mwanafunzi na amshirikishe mkufunzi wake katika mema yote.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Msidanganyike, Mungu hadhihakiwi; kwa kuwa cho chote apandacho mtu, ndicho atakachovuna.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Maana yeye apandaye kwa mwili wake, katika mwili wake atavuna uharibifu; bali yeye apandaye kwa Roho, katika Roho atavuna uzima wa milele.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Tena tusichoke katika kutenda mema; maana tutavuna kwa wakati wake, tusipozimia roho.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men , especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Kwa hiyo kadiri tupatavyo nafasi na tuwatendee watu wote mema; na hasa jamaa ya waaminio.
11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
Tazameni ni kwa herufi gani kubwa nimewaandikia kwa mkono wangu mimi mwenyewe!
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
Wote watakao kuonekana ni wazuri kwa mambo ya mwili, ndio wanaowashurutisha kutahiriwa; makusudi wasiudhiwe kwa ajili ya msalaba wa Kristo, hilo tu.
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
Kwa maana hata wao wenyewe waliotahiriwa hawaishiki sheria; bali wanataka ninyi mtahiriwe, wapate kuona fahari katika miili yenu.
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
Lakini mimi, hasha, nisione fahari juu ya kitu cho chote ila msalaba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, ambao kwa huo ulimwengu umesulibishwa kwangu, na mimi kwa ulimwengu.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Kwa sababu kutahiriwa si kitu, wala kutokutahiriwa, bali kiumbe kipya.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Na wote watakaoenenda kwa kanuni hiyo, amani na iwe kwao na rehema, naam, kwa Israeli wa Mungu.
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
Tangu sasa mtu asinitaabishe; kwa maana ninachukua mwilini mwangu chapa zake Yesu.
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Unto the Galatians written from Rome.
Ndugu zangu, neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo na iwe pamoja na roho zenu. Amina.
