¹Brethren, 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.

¹Ndugu, kama mkimwona mtu fulani amekosea, basi, ninyi mnaoongozwa na Roho mwonyeni mtu huyo ajirekebishe; lakini fanyeni hivyo kwa upole, mkiwa na tahadhari msije nanyi wenyewe mkajaribiwa.

²Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.

²Saidianeni kubeba mizigo yenu na hivyo mtatimiza sheria ya Kristo.

³For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;

³Mtu akijiona kuwa ni kitu, na kumbe si kitu, huyo anajidanganya mwenyewe.

⁴but 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.

⁴Lakini kila mmoja na aupime vizuri mwenendo wake mwenyewe. Ukiwa mwema, basi, anaweza kuona fahari juu ya alichofanya bila kuwa na sababu ya kujilinganisha na mtu mwingine.

⁵For each shall bear his own burden.

⁵Maana kila mmoja anao mzigo wake mwenyewe wa kubeba.

⁶Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.

⁶Mwenye kufundishwa neno la Mungu na amshirikishe mwalimu wake riziki zake.

⁷Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.

⁷Msidanganyike; Mungu hafanyiwi dhihaka. Alichopanda mtu ndicho atakachovuna.

⁸For 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:

⁸Apandaye katika tamaa za kidunia, atavuna humo uharibifu; lakini akipanda katika Roho, atavuna kutoka kwa Roho uzima wa milele.

⁹but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.

⁹Basi, tusichoke kutenda mema; maana tusipolegea tutavuna mavuno kwa wakati wake.

¹⁰So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.

¹⁰Kwa hiyo, tukiwa bado na wakati, tuwatendee watu wote mema, na hasa ndugu wa imani yetu.

¹¹See how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand.

¹¹Tazameni jinsi nilivyoandika kwa herufi kubwa, kwa mkono wangu mwenyewe.

¹²As 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.

¹²Wale wanaotaka kuonekana wazuri kwa mambo ya mwili ndio wanaotaka kuwalazimisha ninyi mtahiriwe. Wanafanya hivyo kwa sababu moja tu: kusudi wao wenyewe wasije wakadhulumiwa kwa sababu ya msalaba wa Kristo.

¹³For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

¹³Maana, hao wenyewe waliotahiriwa hawaishiki Sheria; huwataka ninyi mtahiriwe wapate kujivunia alama hiyo mwilini mwenu.

¹⁴But 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.

¹⁴Lakini mimi sitajivunia kamwe chochote isipokuwa msalaba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo; maana kwa njia ya msalaba huo ulimwengu umesulubiwa kwangu, nami nimesulubiwa kwa ulimwengu.

¹⁵For [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation.

¹⁵Kutahiriwa au kutotahiriwa si kitu; cha maana ni kuwa kiumbe kipya.

¹⁶And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

¹⁶Wanaoufuata mwongozo huo nawatakia amani na huruma; amani na huruma kwa Israeli--Wateule wa Mungu.

¹⁷For the rest let no one trouble me, for *I* bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁷Basi, sasa mtu yeyote asinisumbue tena, maana alama nilizo nazo mwilini mwangu ni zile za Yesu.

¹⁸The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

¹⁸Ndugu, nawatakieni ninyi nyote neema ya Bwana wetu Kristo. Amina.
