Jo-Rumi 15

1 Wan joma otegno nyaka watingʼ nyawo mar joma yomyom ma ok watimo mana gik mamorowa wan wawegi.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa nyaka tim gik mamoro nyawadgi, ka en gi paro maber mar gere.

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

3 Nimar kata Kristo bende ne ok otimo gik mamore en owuon, to mana kaka ondiki: “Ayany duto mag joma yanyi nolwar kuoma.”

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

4 Nimar weche duto ma nondiki e ndalo machon, nondiki mondo opuonjwa, mondo kwachungʼ motegno kendo ka wajiwore gi Ndiko, to wanyalo bedo gi geno.

For whatever things were written in former times were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

5 Mad Nyasaye mamiyo ji kinda kendo ma jiwo ji, omi ubed gi chuny achiel e kindu uwegi, kendo kuluwo Kristo Yesu,

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

6 mondo ka un gi chuny achiel kendo uwacho gi chuny achiel kamano, to umi Nyasaye ma wuon Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo duongʼ.

That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Kuom mano, rwakuru joweteu mana kaka Kristo bende norwakou eka Nyasaye oyud pak.

Therefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

8 Nimar anyisou ni Kristo osedoko jatich jo-Yahudi mondo ochop adiera mar Nyasaye, mondo omi singruok mane omi kwerewa otimre,

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

9 kendo joma ok jo-Yahudi omi Nyasaye duongʼ kuom kechne, mana kaka ondiki niya, “Emomiyo anapaki e kind ogendini, kendo anawer wende mapako nyingi.”

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.

10 Owacho kendo niya, “Moruru un joma ok jo-Yahudi kaachiel gi joge,”

And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

11 Kendo niya, “Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye un joma ok jo-Yahudi duto, ee ji duto mondo odende,”

And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

12 Isaya bende wacho niya, “Nyakwar Jesse nobi, en ema nowuogi mondo otel ni joma ok jo-Yahudi, kendo ogendini nogen kuome.”

And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

13 Mad Nyasach geno opongʼu gi mor kod kwe mogundho ka ugeno kuome, mondo omi upongʼ gi geno malach kuom teko mar Roho Maler.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 Jowetena, angʼeyo chutho ni un joma beyo kendo mariek kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nyalo puonjo nyawadgi.

And I myself also am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

15 Kata kamano, asendikonu kuom weche moko ka an gi chir mana mondo aparnugi, kendo kuom ngʼwono ma Nyasaye omiya,

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly to you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me from God,

16 mar bedo Jatich Kristo Yesu e kind joma ok jo-Yahudi, ka atiyo tich dolo mar lando Injili Maber mar Nyasaye mondo ogendini obed misango maler ma Nyasaye oyiego kendo ma Roho Maler opwodho.

That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Emomiyo ei Kristo Yesu anyalo sungora kuom tichna matiyo ni Nyasaye.

I have therefore cause for glorying through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.

18 To ok anyal hedhora mar wacho gimoro amora, makmana gigo ma Kristo osetimo kotiyo koda kuom loko joma ok jo-Yahudi mondo oluor Nyasaye, kuom wechena gi timbena,

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

19 kotiyo gi teko mar honni gi ranyisi kuom teko mar Roho Maler mar Nyasaye. Kamano aselworora e piny Jerusalem nyaka Iliriko, kalando Injili mar Kristo.

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and all around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

20 Aseketo chunya mondo ayal Injili kuonde ma ji pok ongʼeyoe Kristo, mondo kik agedi ewi mise ma ngʼat machielo ema nochako.

And, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:

21 To mana kaka ondiki ni: “Joma ne pok onyis wach kuome none kendo jogo mapok owinjo kuome nowinj tiend wach.”

But as it is written, They shall see to whom he was not spoken of: and they that have not heard shall understand.

22 Ma emomiyo asetemo ndalo mangʼeny mar biro iru to osetama.

For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

23 To kaka koro onge kuonde modongʼ ma anyalo tiye e gwengegi, kendo nikech asebedo ka anenou kuom higni mangʼeny,

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you;

24 achano mar timo kamano kadhi Spania. Ageno mar limou ka abiro akadho mondo bangʼ bedo kodu moromo to ukonya e wuodhano.

Whenever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way there by you, if first I shall be somewhat filled with your company.

25 Sani to pod an e wuodha adhi Jerusalem mondo adhi akony jomaler man kuno.

But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

26 Nimar jo-Makedonia gi jo-Akaya osechiwo kony gimor ne jomaler modhier man Jerusalem.

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are at Jerusalem.

27 Negimor mar timo ma, to chutho gin jogop jogo. Nimar owinjore mondo joma ok jo-Yahudi, moseyudo konyruok mar chuny mar jo-Yahudi opog negie mwandu mag pinyni.

It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in carnal things.

28 Omiyo ka asechopo wuodhani, kendo ka aseneno ni giyudo olemoni, to abiro dhi Spania, kendo anaraw alimu kakadho.

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go by you into Spain.

29 Angʼeyo ni ka abiro iru to anabi katingʼo gweth mogundho mar Kristo.

And I am sure that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30 Owetena, ajiwou kuom Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, kendo kuom hera mar Roho, mondo uriwru koda e nyagruokna, kulamona Nyasaye.

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

31 Lamnauru mondo Nyasaye oresa e lwet joma odagi yie man Judea, kendo mondo jomaler man Jerusalem orwak tich ma atimo e diergi,

That I may be delivered from them in Judaea who do not believe; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

32 mondo ka Nyasaye oyie to abi iru ka amor kendo mondo ka an kodu to uduog chunya, to an bende aduog chunyu.

That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

33 Nyasach kwe mondo obed kodu uduto. Amin!

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
