< Romans 15 >
1 Now we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Na rĩrĩ, ithuĩ arĩa tũrĩ na hinya-rĩ, twagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkuuanagĩra na arĩa matarĩ na hinya maũndũ mao ma ũhinyaru na to gwĩkenagia ithuĩ ene.
2 Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.
O ũmwe witũ nĩagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkenia mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ make mega, nĩgeetha ongererwo hinya.
3 For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.
Nĩgũkorwo o na Kristũ ndekenirie we mwene, no o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Irumi cia arĩa makũrumaga nĩ niĩ ciagwĩrĩire.”
4 For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope.
Nĩgũkorwo maũndũ mothe marĩa maandĩkirwo tene maandĩkirwo marĩ ma gũtũruta, nĩgeetha tũgĩage na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro nĩ ũndũ wa gũkirĩrĩria na kũũmĩrĩrio nĩ Maandĩko macio.
5 Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:
Ngai ũrĩa ũheanaga ũkirĩrĩria na ũũmanĩrĩria aromũhe roho wa ũiguano o mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ rĩrĩa mũkũrũmĩrĩra Kristũ Jesũ,
6 That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
nĩgeetha mũgoocithagie Ngai o we Ithe wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ mũrĩ na ngoro ĩmwe na mũgambo ũmwe.
7 Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o mũndũ nĩagĩĩtĩkagĩre ũrĩa ũngĩ, o ta ũrĩa mwetĩkĩrirwo nĩ Kristũ, nĩgeetha Ngai agoocagwo.
8 For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.
Nĩgũkorwo ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, Kristũ okire arĩ ndungata ya Ayahudi nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro wa ma wa Ngai, nĩguo ahingie ciĩranĩro iria cierĩirwo maithe maitũ ma tene,
9 But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.
nĩgeetha andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ magoocithagie Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciake, ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngũkũgooca ndĩ gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ; nĩndĩrĩinaga nyĩmbo cia kũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku.”
10 And again he saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
Ningĩ nĩ kwĩrĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Kenai, inyuĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, mũrĩ hamwe na andũ ake.”
11 And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all ye people.
Na ningĩ nĩ kwĩrĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Goocai Mwathani, inyuĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ othe, na mũmũinĩre nyĩmbo cia kũmũgooca, inyuĩ andũ othe.”
12 And again Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.
O na ningĩ, Isaia nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtagwo Mũri wa Jesii nĩagooka, o we ũrĩa ũkaarahũka atuĩke wa gwatha ndũrĩrĩ, nao andũ-acio-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩmakaagĩa na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro thĩinĩ wake.”
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost.
Na rĩrĩ, Ngai ũrĩa arĩ we mwĩhoko witũ aromũiyũria na gĩkeno gĩothe na thayũ tondũ wa ũrĩa mũmwĩhokete, nĩgeetha mũkĩrĩrĩrie kũgĩa na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wa Roho Mũtheru.
14 And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you, that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, niĩ mwene nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩte atĩ inyuĩ ene nĩmũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wega, na nĩ mũrĩ na ũmenyo mũiganu, o na mũkahota gũtaarana inyuĩ ene.
15 But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind: because of the grace which is given me from God.
Ndĩmwandĩkĩire ũndũ ũyũ ndĩ na ũũmĩrĩru mũingĩ ngĩmwĩra maũndũ mamwe, taarĩ kũmũririkania maũndũ macio rĩngĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa wega ũrĩa Ngai aaheire,
16 That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.
nĩguo nduĩke mũtungatĩri wa Kristũ Jesũ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, ndutage wĩra wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wa kũhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai, nĩgeetha andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ magaatuĩka igongona rĩĩtĩkĩrĩku nĩ Ngai, o rĩrĩa rĩtherie nĩ Roho Mũtheru.
17 I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngwĩraha thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũtungata wakwa ngĩtungatĩra Ngai.
18 For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
Ndikũgeria kwaria ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tiga o ũrĩa Kristũ ahingĩtie na ũndũ wakwa harĩ ũhoro wa gũtongoria andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ũhoro-inĩ wa gwathĩkĩra Ngai, nĩ ũndũ wakwa kũheana ũhoro na maũndũ marĩa mekirwo,
19 By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ.
na ũndũ wa hinya ũrĩa watũmaga kũringwo ciama na kuonwo morirũ, tondũ wa hinya wa Roho Mũtheru. Na nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo kuuma Jerusalemu kũrigiicũka nginya Iluriko, nĩhunjĩtie biũ Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Kristũ.
20 And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation.
Na rĩrĩ, ndũire ndĩĩrirĩirie kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega kũrĩa Kristũ atamenyekete, nĩgeetha ndikanatuĩke wa gwaka igũrũ rĩa mũthingi wakĩtwo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ.
21 But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.
No rĩrĩ, nĩgũtuĩke o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo, atĩrĩ: “Arĩa matarĩ meerwo ũhoro wake nĩo makaawona, na arĩa matarĩ maigua nĩo magaataũkĩrwo nĩguo.”
22 For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now.
Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmi kĩrĩa kĩanagiria mahinda maingĩ njũke kũu kwanyu.
23 But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you,
No rĩu, tondũ hatirĩ handũ hangĩ ingĩruta wĩra ngʼongo-inĩ ici, na tondũ mĩaka mĩingĩ nĩngoretwo ngĩĩrirĩria kũmuona-rĩ,
24 When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you:
nĩndĩrabanga gwĩka ũguo ngĩthiĩ Sipania. Nĩndĩrehoka gũkaamũceerera ngĩhĩtũkĩra kũu kwanyu, na atĩ nĩmũkandeithĩrĩria gũthiĩ rũgendo rũu, thuutha wa gũkenanĩra na inyuĩ ihinda inini.
25 But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints.
No rĩu ndĩ rũgendo-inĩ ngĩthiĩ Jerusalemu ngatungatĩre andũ arĩa aamũre marĩ kũu.
26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ a Makedonia na a Akaia nĩmoonire arĩ wega kũhotha nĩguo mateithie andũ arĩa athĩĩni a thiritũ ya andũ arĩa aamũre kũu Jerusalemu.
27 For it hath pleased them; and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them.
Ũguo nĩguo moonire kwagĩrĩire, na ti-itherũ nĩ marĩ na thiirĩ wa andũ acio. Tondũ wa rĩĩrĩ, angĩkorwo andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩmagwatanĩire na Ayahudi irathimo cia kĩĩroho-rĩ, o nao marĩ na thiirĩ kũrĩ Ayahudi wa kũmatungatĩra na indo iria marathimĩtwo nacio.
28 When therefore I shall have accomplished this, and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndaarĩkia kũruta wĩra ũcio, na menye wega atĩ maciaro macio nĩ marĩkia kwamũkĩrwo-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngamũceerera ngĩthiĩ Sipania.
29 And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ngĩũkĩra kũu kwanyu, ngaakorwo njiyũrĩrĩirwo nĩ irathimo cia Kristũ.
30 I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nĩndamũthaitha nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ na nĩ ũndũ wa wendani ũrĩa tũheetwo nĩ Roho, atĩ mũnyiitanĩre na niĩ kĩgiano-inĩ gĩakwa na ũndũ wa kũhooya Ngai nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
31 That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints.
Hooyai nĩgeetha ngaahonokio kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie a kũu Judea, na ningĩ atĩ ũtungata wakwa kũu Jerusalemu ũgetĩkĩrĩka nĩ andũ arĩa aamũre akuo,
32 That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.
nĩgeetha ngooka kũrĩ inyuĩ ngenete, Ngai enda, na tũcanjamũke tũrĩ hamwe.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Ngai mwene thayũ aroikara hamwe na inyuĩ inyuothe. Ameni.
