Romans 15
1 Most of us are sure [that God will not punish us for doing certain things that the laws and rituals God gave Moses said the Jews should not do. But we] should be patient with those who are uncertain [about such things], and we should not let them irritate us. We should not [simply] please ourselves.
Eshi atee tetili nedadi tihwaziwa ahweje ulembezu wabhala alembezu, satihwaziwa ahwilole tete.
2 Each of us should [do the things that] please the fellow [believers with whom we come in contact, and things that will] benefit them. [We should do those things] in order to help them mature [spiritually].
Kila omo wetu asogwaje upalamani wakwe hweli ega minza, hwidala lya hulengange.
3 [We should please our fellow believers], since Christ [has set us an example]. He did not [do things to] please himself. On the contrary, [he tried to please God even when others insulted him. That was] as it is written {as ([someone/the Psalmist]) wrote} [in Scripture that the Messiah said to God]: “When people insulted you [(sg)], [it was as though] they were also insulting me.”
Hata oyo Kilisiti saga ahwilolaga yuyo mwene. Hwa huje alinashi sagasimbilwe, “Esnundo zyabhala bhabhalijile ganajile nene.”
4 And [you need to remember that] what was written previously {what [God’s servants] previously wrote} [in the Scriptures], was written {[they] wrote} to teach us in order that we would be patient and be encouraged by [reading/believing] what they wrote. If we do that, we can confidently expect [God to do for us all he has promised].
Hwa hohonti hahatagaliye asimbwe, hasimbilwe hwutilogozye, hwa huje ashilile ajimbe naashilile apelwe umwoyo nendajizyo angatili nelyomi.
5 God is the one who enables us to be patient and encourages us. ([Ask/Pray to]) [him that he would] enable you [all] to live harmoniously with each other, doing as Christ Jesus [did].
Eshi Ongolobhe umwene wajimbe nawatipele omwoyo naabhapele abhe nensebho sawa nahwakila omo alengane nu Yesu uKilisti.
6 Then, as you are united in what you think and say [MTY], you will praise God, [who is the heavenly] father [MET] of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Awezizye abhombe eshi husebho emo muwezye humwinyile hwiilomu limo Ongolobhe nu baada hwa Gosi wetu uYesu Kilisti.
7 So [I say to all of you believers at Rome], accept each other. [If you do that], people will praise God [as they see you behaving like Christ. Accept each other] just like Christ accepted you!
Hweeli posheli kila oomo, nashishila uKilisti nabhaposheye, hwatafihwe hwa Ngolobhe.
8 I want [you to remember] that Christ [helped us] Jews [MTY] by what he did, in order to show that God (is faithful/does what he says he will do). That is, [his coming as our Messiah] fulfilled what God promised to [our Jewish] ancestors.
Huje eyanga huje uKilisti abhehwelwe tumwahwa tohala hwidala elilyoli hwa Ngolobhe. Abhombile eshi huje awezye abhonesye endajizyo zye zyafumile hwa madaada,
9 And [by acting mercifully to them, he also caused] non-Jews to praise him. [What he has done for non-Jews] fulfills what is written [in the Scriptures that David said to God]: “So I will praise you [(sg) when I am] among the non-Jews, and I will sing to you [MTY].”
na hwa mataifa humwembele Ongolobhe hwuwenee yakwe. Nashi salyandihwe, hwa huje embafumwe esifa huliwe nalengane nabhe mataifa nahwembe esifa ashilile itawa lyakwe.”
10 [David] also wrote, “You non-Jews, rejoice with us who are God’s people.”
Nantele eyanga, “Shanji, amwee mubhatu bhemataifa, pandwemo na bhantu bhakwe.”
11 [And Moses wrote in] the [Scriptures], “Praise the Lord, all [you] non-Jews, and may everyone praise him [DOU].”
Nantele, “Mtofyaje Ogosi, amwe mmataifa mwetileshi bhemataifa; goti bamwinulaje umwe.”
12 And Isaiah wrote [in the Scriptures], “There will be a descendant [MET] of [King] David who will begin to rule the non-Jews. They will confidently expect him [to fulfill what he has promised].”
Nantele oIsaya ayanga, “Hwaibha izii elya Yese, na oomo aibhomba atabhale amwanya yemataifa. Amataifa bhaibha nulusobhelo ashilile omwene.”
13 God is the one who causes you to confidently expect [him to do what he has promised. I pray/ask] that he will cause you to be completely joyful and peaceful as you trust [in him]. As you do that, the Holy Spirit will enable you to more and more confidently expect [to receive what God has promised you].
Eshi Ongolobhe owe sobhezyo abhamemwe nashee hwoti nulweteho hwa mweteshele, huje muwezye ahojelele ashilile esobhezyo, hwidandi elya Ompepo Ofinjile.
14 My fellow believers, I myself am [completely] sure that you yourselves [have acted toward others] in a completely good way. You have done that because you have known completely [all that God wants you to know] [HYP], and because you are able to teach each other.
Nene nimwene evutililwe namwe, mwaholo bhane. Evitulilwe namwe mmemile uwinza, mmemile enjele zyonti. Evutililwe huje amwe muwenza apelane kila oomo nuwamwabho.
15 However, I have written to you quite frankly [in this letter] about some things in order to remind you [about those things]. [I have written this letter] because I have been appointed by God {God has [appointed] me}, which I did not deserve,
Lakini ewandiha hwelyomi nsini hulimwi humwanya yemambo gagahweli huje ebhakomboshe nantele, husababu yeshipawa shepewilwe nu Ngolobhe.
16 in order that I would work for Jesus Christ among non-Jews. [God has appointed me] to act like a priest as I [proclaim] his good message in order that he will accept the non-Jews [who believe in Christ. They will be] like an offering [MET] [to God] as a result of their being dedicated [to him] by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit dedicating them [to God]}.
Eshipawa eshishali huje embetumwa wa Yesu Kilisti watumwilwe hwa mataifa, ahwifumwe nashi oodimi we bhangili lya Ngolobhe. Nezagawezye abhombe eshi ahwifumwe hwane hwamataifa hubhe hukondelwe, nahubhehwelwe hu Ngolobhe hwidala lya Opepo Ofinjile.
17 It follows that, because [of my relationship with] (OR, because [I belong to]) Christ Jesus, I am happy about [my work for] God.
Huje ashee hwane huli mwidala lya Kilisti nu Yesu nashilile hwa Ngolobhe.
18 I will speak boldly only [LIT] about the work that Christ has enabled me to do. [I do that work] in order that non-Jews might pay attention to [the message about Christ] as a result of what I have said and done,
Huje sembwezizye alombelele wala ayanje lyolyonti huje uKilisti andengenye ashilile hwane ahwishe hwa mataifa. Eega amambo gamalishe hwizuu nidala,
19 specifically, by [my performing] many powerful miracles [DOU]. [I have done those things] as a result of [God’s] Spirit powerfully [enabling me]. As a result [of doing those things, while traveling] all the way around from Jerusalem to Illyricum [province], I have completed [my work] of proclaiming the message about Christ [in those places].
hwilyomi ololesyo wemagosi, nahwilyomi elya Ompepo Ufinjile. Eli lyali hufume hu Yelusalemu, na zyogolele ohutali nashi iliriko, ebwezye ahweje hwoze humalisho wibhangili lya Kilisti.
20 As [I proclaim] that message, I am always eagerly trying to proclaim it [in places] where people have not already heard about Christ. I do that in order that [as I work for God] I might not [be continuing the work for him that someone else already started] [MET]. [I do not want to be like a man who] builds [a house] on someone else’s foundation.
Hwidala eli, esebhozyane elilumbelele ibhagili, lakini sepala uKilisti pamanyishe hwitawa, huje esiwezye azenje pamwanya yesingi gwa muntu owamwabho.
21 On the contrary, [I teach non-Jews, so that what happens may be like] what was written {the prophet Isaiah wrote} [in the Scriptures about the Messiah]: “Those who did not hear about him previously will know [the truth about him]. Truly, those who have not heard [about him will hear and] understand [his message] [DOU].”
Nashi sagasimbilwe: “Eebho hwamwene sebhali nalyolyoti lyamwene ahenzele bhaihulola, nabhala bhasagabhamwovwezye bhenzehumanye.”
22 Because [I have attempted to preach the message about Christ in places where they have not heard about him], I have been hindered {things have hindered me} many times [from being able] to visit you.
Hweli naliezigwilwe marahaminji ahwenze mwenyu.
23 But now there are no more places in these regions [where people have not heard about Christ]. Furthermore, for several years I have wanted to visit you.
Lakini esalezi, sendinesehemu yoyoti ashile amikoa egaa, naendiieziliha hwumaha minji ahweze hwulimwi.
24 [So I hope to go/come to see you]. I hope to do that as soon as I am on my way to [the provinces in] Spain. I hope to see you as I journey through [your area], and I hope that [by whatever you give me] [EUP] you will help me on my journey to Spain. But before [I go there], I want to enjoy being with you for a little while, although [I would like to stay with you longer].
Huje mara zyoti nkembale Hispania etegemela abhalole nkeshile, etwalwe hwidala lyane namwe, baada yasogwe akhale namwe humdaa.
25 But [I cannot visit you] now, because I am about to go to Jerusalem in order to take money [EUP] for God’s people [there].
Lakini esalezi embala hu Yelusalemu abhalishe aumini.
26 [The believers in] Macedonia and Achaia [provinces] [MTY] decided to contribute some [money] [EUP] for those of God’s people in Jerusalem who are poor.
Maana bhasogwelwe abhantu bha hu Makedonia na bha hu Akaya abhombe osanguzi welyoli hwabhala bhabhasagali nahantu bhamobhamo mwaumini ohwo hu Yeslusalemu.
27 They themselves decided [to do this, but] truly they owe something to God’s people in Jerusalem. The non-Jewish [believers] benefited spiritually from Jewish [believers as a result of hearing the message about Christ from them], so the non-Jews should also help the Jewish believers [in Jerusalem by giving them] material things (OR, money) [EUP].
Lyoli, lwalilugano lwabho, nalyoli bhalinebha madeni gabho. Maana nkashile amataifa bhashilikile ashilile amambo gabho age mpepo, bhanamadeni bhope natele nabhalishe evitu vyesagabhali navyo.
28 So when I have finished this [task] by safely delivering all this money [MET, EUP] [that the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have given], I will leave [Jerusalem and visit] you [in Rome while I am] on my way to Spain.
Eshi, natele amalezyezye evi nabhene nayerane humandodo ega hwabhene, anenaibhala mwidala padwemo namwee ooho hu Hispania.
29 And I know that when I visit you, Christ will abundantly bless [us] (OR, enable [me] to bless [you]).
Emenye huje, nantele nkenenze hulimwi, naihweza ekamilishe hwuwinji wa Kilisti.
30 Because [we belong to] our Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit [of God causes us to] love [each other], I urge you [all] that [you help me] by fervently/intensely praying to God for me.
Esalezi embasunda, bhaholo, hwa Gosi wetu uYesu Kilisiti, nahwigane lya Umpepo, huje mubhe padwemo nane ashirile apute hwenyu hwa Ngolobhe hwa ajili yalini.
31 [Pray that] I will be protected {[that God] will protect me} so that the [Jews] in Judea who do not believe [the message about Christ will not harm me]. Also pray that God’s people in Jerusalem will accept the money [EUP] that I [take] to them.
Putaji huje epone afume hwa bhene bhasaga bhane nshinshi ashilile hu Yudea, na huje embombo yane ohwo hu Yelusalemu ewezye aposhelelwe nalokole.
32 Pray these things in order that I may go/come to you if God wants me to go/come, and that I may go/come joyfully, and that then God will refresh my [spirit as a result of my visiting/being] with you.
Putaji huje engenza hulimwi seshiye ashilile huwinza wa Ngolobhe, na huje embepadwemo namwe, embwezye antoye.
33 [I pray that] God, who [causes us to have inner] peace, will be with all of you [and will help] you. (May it be so!/Amen!)
Nu Ngolobhe owewene abhe padwemo namwe mwentii. Amina.
