< Romans 15 >
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Anyị onwe anyị bụ ndị dị ike kwesiri ịnagide mgbe ndị na-adịghị ike mejọrọ anyị, ọ bụghị ime ihe ga-atọ anyị ụtọ.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbour for that which is good, to be building him up.
Ka onye ọbụla nʼime anyị na-eme ihe ga-atọ onye agbataobi ya ụtọ maka ọdịmma ha, ka o wulie ha elu.
3 For even Messiah didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
Nʼihi na Kraịst nʼonwe ya emeghị ihe tọrọ ya ụtọ, kama dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, “Mkparị niile nke ndị na-akparị gị dakwasịrị m!”
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Nʼihi na ihe niile edere nʼoge gara aga bụ iji kuziere anyị ihe, ka anyị nwee ike isite na ntachiobi nakwa nkasiobi, nke dị nʼakwụkwọ nsọ nwee olileanya.
5 Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Messiah Yeshua,
Ka Chineke ahụ na-enye agbamume na ntachiobi nye unu mmụọ nke ịdị nʼotu nʼetiti onwe unu, dịka Kraịst Jisọs nwere.
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Nʼihi na nke a ga-eme ka unu niile jikọtaa obi unu, na olu unu nʼotu, inye Chineke na Nna Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst otuto.
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of God.
Nʼihi ya, nabatanụ onwe unu dị ka Kraịst nabatara unu, iji wetara Chineke otuto.
8 Now I say that Messiah has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
Ma ana m agwa unu na Kraịst aghọọla onye na-ejere ndị e biri ugwu ozi nʼihi eziokwu nke Chineke, iji mee ka nkwa e kwere ndị bụ nna nna anyị ochie guzozie.
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you amongst the Gentiles and sing to your name.”
Ka ndị mba ọzọ nwe ike inye Chineke otuto maka ebere ya, dịka e dere ya, “Nʼihi nke a, aga m eto gị nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ, aga m abụ abụ nye aha gị.”
10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
O kwukwara ọzọ sị, “Soronụ ndị ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ unu ndị mba ọzọ.”
11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
Ọzọkwa, “Toonu Onyenwe anyị unu ndị mba ọzọ niile, ka ndị niile dị iche iche jaakwa ya mma.”
12 Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
Ọzọkwa, Aịzaya na-asị, “Mgbọrọgwụ Jesi ga-epulite ọzọ, onye nke ga-ebili ịchị mba niile, ndị mba ọzọ ga-enwekwa olileanya nʼime ya.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Ka Chineke onye bụ isi olileanya mejupụta unu nʼoke ọṅụ na udo dịka unu na-atụkwasị ya obi, ka unu si otu a bụrụ ndị olileanya ha jubigara oke site nʼike nke Mmụọ Nsọ.
14 I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
Ụmụnna m, o doro m anya na unu onwe unu jupụtara nʼịdị mma, bụrụkwa ndị tozuru etozu nʼihe ọmụma ruo na unu nwere ike izirịta onwe unu ihe.
15 But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
Ma otu ọ dị, edepụtala m ụfọdụ isi okwu nʼebe o doro anya nye unu, iji chetara unu ha ọzọ, nʼihi amara Chineke nyere m,
16 that I should be a servant of Messiah Yeshua to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
abụ m onyeozi Kraịst Jisọs, ana m arụkwa ọrụ onye nchụaja nʼizisa oziọma Chineke, ka ofufe ndị mba ọzọ bụrụ aja Chineke ga-anara nke ọma, nke Mmụọ Nsọ dokwara nsọ.
17 I have therefore my boasting in Messiah Yeshua in things pertaining to God.
Nʼihi ya, ana m anya isi nʼime Kraịst Jisọs banyere ọrụ m na-arụrụ Chineke.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Messiah worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
Agaghị m anwa anwa kwuo okwu banyere ihe ọzọ karịakwa ihe ndị ahụ Kraịst rụpụtara site nʼaka m, bụ idubata ndị mba ọzọ, ime ka ha rube isi nye Chineke, site nʼokwu ọnụ m na ihe m rụrụ,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Messiah;
nke pụtara ihe nʼọrụ ebube na ihe ịrịbama site nʼike nke Mmụọ nke Chineke. Ya mere, site na Jerusalem ruo Ilirikom, ekwusaala m nʼụzọ zuru ezu, oziọma Kraịst.
20 yes, making it my aim to proclaim the Good News, not where Messiah was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
Ọchịchọ obi m mgbe niile bụ ikwusa oziọma ahụ nʼebe ọbụla ndị mmadụ na-anụtụbeghị ihe banyere Kraịst, ka m ghara ịbụ onye na-ewukwasị ihe nʼelu ntọala nke onye ọzọ tọrọ,
21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
ma dịka e dere ya, “Ndị a na-agwaghị ihe banyere ya ga-ahụ, ndị a ka anụbeghị, ga-aghọtakwa.”
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
Nʼezie, nke a bụ ihe mere m na-ejibeghị nwee ohere ịbịakwute unu.
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
Nʼihi na ọ dịla ọtụtụ afọ kemgbe m bidoro na-enwe mmasị m ga-abịa hụ unu anya, ma ugbu a, ọrụ m nwere nʼakụkụ a agwụla, oge eruola mgbe m ji ahapụ ebe a.
24 whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
Nʼihi na nzube m bụ ijeru obodo Spen. Mgbe ọbụla m ga-agakwa, aga m akwụsị ịhụ unu na elekwa anya na unu ga-edupụ m nʼije m, mgbe mụ na unu jiri ọṅụ nọrọtụ nwa mgbe nta.
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the holy ones.
Ma ugbu a, ana m aga Jerusalem ebe m na-ejere ndị nsọ ozi.
26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor amongst the holy ones who are at Jerusalem.
Nʼihi na ọ dị ndị Masidonia na Akaịa ezi mma iwere nʼụfọdụ nʼihe ha nwere nyere ndị ogbenye nọ nʼetiti ndị nsọ nọ na Jerusalem aka.
27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.
Ha ji ọṅụ mee nke a, nʼezie ha ji ha ụgwọ i mere ha otu a. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ndị mba ọzọ so ha keta oke na ngọzị nke Mmụọ Nsọ, ha ji ụgwọ isite nʼakụnụba ha nwere kenye ha.
28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
Ya mere, mgbe m mezuru nke a, hụkwa na ha anatala onyinye ahụ a tụkọtara ha, aga m abata ịhụ unu mgbe m na-aga Spen.
29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Messiah.
Amaara m na mgbe m ga-abịakwute unu, aga m abịa nʼime ozuzu oke ngọzị nke Kraịst.
30 Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
Esi m nʼaka Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst na ịhụnanya anyị nwere nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ na-arịọ unu, ụmụnna m, ka unu soro m na-ekpe ekpere, na-echetanụ m nʼekpere unu nʼihu Chineke.
31 that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the holy ones,
Ka a dọpụta m nʼaka ndị na-ekweghị ekwe nọ na Judịa. Ka ọrụ m maka Jerusalem bụrụ ihe ndị nsọ nọ ebe ahụ ga-anabata.
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
Ka ọ ga-abụ site nʼuche Chineke, aga m abịakwute unu nʼọṅụ kurukwa ume ndụ na nnọkọ mụ na unu.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Ka Chineke ahụ na-enye udo, nọnyere unu niile. Amen.
