1ʻE 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.
1Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
2Mou fetoutou fefuaʻaki hoʻomou kavenga, pea fakamoʻoni ai ki he fono ʻa Kalaisi.
2Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3He kapau ʻoku mahalo ʻe ha taha ko ha meʻa ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai, ʻoku ne kākaaʻi ʻe ia ia.
3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4Kae 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.
4Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.
5Koeʻuhi ʻe taki taha fua ʻene kavenga ʻaʻana.
5For each one should carry his own load.
6Ko ia kuo akonekina ʻi he folofola, ke ne foaki ʻae meʻa ʻaonga kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku akonaki.
6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
7ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kākaaʻi ʻae ʻOtua: he ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻe he tangata, ko ia te ne utu foki.
7Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
8He 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.
8The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
9Pea ke ʻoua naʻa tau fiu ʻi he fai lelei: he te tau utu ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu totonu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te tau vaivai.
9Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10Ko 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.
10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
11ʻOku mou mamata ki he tohi lahi kuo u tohi atu kiate kimoutolu ʻaki hoku nima ʻoʻoku.
11See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
12Ko kinautolu ʻoku holi ke matamatalelei fakakakano pe, ʻoku nau fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ke mou kamu; telia naʻa fakatangaʻi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ʻakau ʻo Kalaisi.
12Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
13He 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.
13For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
14Kae 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.
14But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15He ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga siʻi ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ʻae kamu, pe ʻae taʻekamu, ka ko e fakafoʻou.
15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
16Pea 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.
16Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
17Ke 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.
17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18ʻE kāinga, ke ʻi homou laumālie ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. ʻEmeni.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
