1 אֶחָי גַּם כִּי־יִתָּפֵשׂ אִישׁ מִכֶּם בַּעֲבֵרָה אַתֶּם אַנְשֵׁי הָרוּחַ תְּקִימֻהוּ בְּרוּחַ עֲנָוָה וְהִשָּׁמֵר לְנַפְשְׁךָ פֶּן־תָּבֹא לִידֵי־נִסָּיוֹן גַּם־אָתָּה | 1 Brothers, even if a person is caught in some transgression, you who are spiritual should correct that one in a gentle spirit, looking to yourself, so that you also may not be tempted. |
2 שְׂאוּ אִישׁ אֶת־מַשָּׂא רֵעֵהוּ בְּזֹאת תְּמַלְאוּ אֶת־תּוֹרַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ | 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. |
3 כִּי הַחשֵׁב אֶת־עַצְמוֹ לִהְיוֹת־מָה וְאֵינֶנּוּ מְאוּמָה אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ הוּא מְרַמֶּה | 3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deluding himself. |
4 אֲבָל יִבְחַן כָּל־אִישׁ אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂהוּ וְאָז לוֹ לְבַדּוֹ תִּהְיֶה תְהִלָּתוֹ וְלֹא לְנֶגֶד אַחֵר | 4 Each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast with regard to himself alone, and not with regard to someone else; |
5 כִּי כָל־אִישׁ אֶת־מַשָּׂאוֹ יִשָּׂא | 5 for each will bear his own load. |
6 הַמְלֻמָּד בַּדָּבָר יַחֲלֹק מִכָּל־טוּבוֹ לִמְלַמְּדֵהוּ | 6 One who is being instructed in the word should share all good things with his instructor. |
7 אַל־תִּתְעוּ לֹא־יִתֵּן אֱלֹהִים לְהָתֵל בּוֹ כִּי מַה־שֶּׁזֹּרֵעַ הָאָדָם אֹתוֹ יִקְצֹר | 7 Make no mistake: God is not mocked, for a person will reap only what he sows, |
8 הַזֹּרֵעַ בִּבְשָׂרוֹ יִקְצֹר כִּלָּיוֹן מִבְּשָׂרוֹ וְהַזֹּרֵעַ בָּרוּחַ יִקְצֹר מִן־הָרוּחַ חַיֵּי עוֹלָם | 8 because the one who sows for his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows for the spirit will reap eternal life from the spirit. |
9 וַאֲנַחְנוּ אַל־נִלְאֶה בַּעֲשׂוֹת הַטּוֹב כִּי־נִקְצֹר בְּעִתּוֹ אִם־לֹא נִרְפֶּה | 9 Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up. |
10 לָכֵן כַּאֲשֶׁר הָעֵת בְּיָדֵנוּ נַעֲשֶׂה־נָּא אֶת־הַטּוֹב עִם־כָּל־אָדָם וּבְיוֹתֵר עִם־בְּנֵי אֱמוּנָתֵנוּ | 10 So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all, but especially to those who belong to the family of the faith. |
11 רְאוּ־נָא מַה־גָּדוֹל הַכְּתָב אֲשֶׁר כָּתַבְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם בְּיָדִי | 11 See with what large letters I am writing to you in my own hand! |
12 הַחֲפֵצִים לְהִתְהַדֵּר בַּבָּשָׂר מַכְרִיחִים אֶתְכֶם לְהִמּוֹל רַק לְמַעַן לֹא־יֵרָדְפוּ עַל־צְלָב הַמָּשִׁיחַ | 12 It is those who want to make a good appearance in the flesh who are trying to compel you to have yourselves circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. |
13 כִּי גַם־הֵם הַנִּמּוֹלִים אֵינָם שֹׁמְרִים אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה אֶלָּא רְצוֹנָם שֶׁתִּמּוֹלוּ לְמַעַן יִתְהַלְלוּ בִּבְשַׂרְכֶם | 13 Not even those having themselves circumcised observe the law themselves; they only want you to be circumcised so that they may boast of your flesh. |
14 וְאָנֹכִי חָלִילָה לִּי מֵהִתְהַלֵּל זוּלָתִי בִּצְלָב אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ הָעוֹלָם נִצְלַב־לִי וַאֲנִי נִצְלָב לָעוֹלָם | 14 But 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. |
15 כִּי בַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ גַּם־הַמִּילָה גַּם־הָעָרְלָה אֵינָן נֶחֱשָׁבוֹת כִּי אִם־בְּרִיאָה חֲדָשָׁה | 15 For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation. |
16 וְכָל־הַמִּתְהַלְּכִים כְּפִי הַשּׁוּרָה הַזֹּאת שָׁלוֹם וְרַחֲמִים עֲלֵיהֶם וְעַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר לֵאלֹהִים | 16 Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God. |
17 מֵעַתָּה אִישׁ אַל־יַלְאֵנִי עוֹד כִּי אֶת־חַבּוּרוֹת הָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ אֲנִי נֹשֵׂא בִּגְוִיָּתִי | 17 From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body. |
18 חֶסֶד יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ יְהִי עִם־רוּחֲכֶם אֶחָי אָמֵן | 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. |
