Warumi 15
1 Panogile yufwe tuliena makha tupiembe uvuvivi wa vavo valievavule amakha.
As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure.
2 Khila munu mughati umwu panoghile ukhunoghele paninie uvyali pawipi nu mwene, upielile uvunonu akhavombeliwe.
Let each of us endeavour to please his fellow Christian, aiming at a blessing calculated to build him up.
3 Ulwa khuva uKlisiti vope sakhanoghele mwene. Nduvuliesimbiwe, “Amadusi uguvakhakhudukhile uve nikhaghupielile une.”
For even the Christ did not seek His own pleasure. His principle was, "The reproaches which they addressed to Thee have fallen on me."
4 Ulwa khuva ghoni aghatalile ughusimbiwa ghasimbiwe ukhuta tumanyilaghe ufwe, ukhuta tuvinchaghe nukhununala nulunonchekhencho ulwa vusimbe tukhave ukhununala.
For all that was written of old has been written for our instruction, so that we may always have hope through the power of endurance and the encouragement which the Scriptures afford.
5 UNguluve uvyalie nuluhuvilo nukhununancha avatange ukhunchova pwu paninie yuomwe khwa yuomwe ukhungonga uKlisiti uYesu.
And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus,
6 Khunumbula yeimo na khundamo guumo muve vakhughinia uNguluve Udada va Nkhuludeva veitu uYesu Klisiti.
so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Pwu mwupielilanilage yumwe khwa yumwe, nduvu uYesu Klisiti avupielile, ukhuta uNguluve aghiniwagwe.
Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God.
8 Ulwa khuva ninchova niita uKlisiti avombikhe intangieli va kwiedihana ukhukhegheta pavuyielweli uwa Nguluve. Ukhuta nchidulukhe iendaghilo inchuvapokhile avadada veto,
My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness-- in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers--
9 hange ukhuta avanyampanji vamwiemikhaghe uNguluve khu khisa kya mwene. Nduvuliesimbiwe, “Ulwa khuva nilakhusana pa vanyapanji nune nielemba ilitawa lyakho.”
and that the Gentiles also have glorified God in acknowledgment of His mercy. So it is written, "For this reason I will praise Thee among the Gentiles, and sing psalms in honour of Thy name."
10 Hange ninchova, “Muhovokhaghe, mwievapanji, pwu paninie navanu avamwene.”
And again the Psalmist says, "Be glad, ye Gentiles, in company with His People."
11 Hange, “Umwe mwievanyapanji, munghiniaghe unkhuludeva, umwe mwievanu mwivono mumwiedikhaghe.”
And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and let all the people extol Him."
12 Hange u Isaya inchova, “Khila khumila ikhikho ikya Yese, umwene vyalaluta khulongoncha. Avanyapanji vu avanyapanji vikhunguvilagha.”
And again Isaiah says, "There shall be the Root of Jesse and One who rises up to rule the Gentiles. On Him shall the Gentiles build their hopes."
13 Umwene uNguluve vivaluhuvilo avadienche ulunonchehencho mukhwidikha, mughendelelaghe nduhuvielo, mu makha agha Mepo umbalanche.
May God, the giver of hope, fill you with continual joy and peace because you trust in Him--so that you may have abundant hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Valukholo lwango nikhuvavula ukhuta nielumanyile ukhuva mudieghile ulughano. Mulienuluhala lwoni hange mukhiemanyile ukhuvungana.
But as to you, brethren, I am convinced-- yes, I Paul am convinced--that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another.
15 Hange nikhuvasiembiela ukwietanga uluvafu ulwa kalata iyie, nikhuvakhumbusya khulusayo ulunupielile khwa Nguluve.
But I write to you the more boldly--partly as reminding you of what you already know--because of the authority graciously entrusted to me by God,
16 Ukhuva nive munu valutanghielo khuvanyapanji, nielievombele ielivangili ilya Nguluve imbombo iya vutekhenchi, ukhuva avanyapanji vave nekhelo iyiediekhiwe, yienga valanchiwe nu Mepo umbalanche.
that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, doing priestly duties in connexion with God's Good News so that the sacrifice--namely the Gentiles--may be acceptable to Him, being (as it is) an offering which the Holy Spirit has made holy.
17 Khumbe nienoghile ukwieghienia mwa Klisiti u Yesu pavulongolo pa Nguluve.
I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged.
18 Ulwa khuva saniekhaghele ukhutambula eilimenyu lielyo savombile uKlisiti khu mbombo yango, avapanji viedikhaghe khumamenyu na khumbombo,
For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed,
19 khumakha aghakhuvonesya ifidegho, mu makha agha Mepo umbalanche. Ukhuhuma khu Yerusalemu, na mundokhanji khanji, ukhudugha khu ililiko nimalile ukhulumbilila eilivangili ilya Klisiti khuvuvalanche.
with power manifested in signs and marvels, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. But--to speak simply of my own labours--beginning in Jerusalem and the outlying districts, I have proclaimed without reserve, even as far as Illyricum, the Good News of the Christ;
20 Nienghetange ukhulumbilila ielivanghieli, nielekhe ukhulumbiliela upwu ilitawa ilya Klisiti vamalile ukhulitambula, ulwa khuva uyuninchengagha mundwuto ulwa munu uyuonghe.
making it my ambition, however, not to tell the Good News where Christ's name was already known, for fear I should be building on another man's foundation.
21 Bakho nduvuliesimbiwe ukhuta, khuvala vavo savalie phulikhe ielimenyu ilya mwene vikhulievonagha, hange vavo savalumbielieliwe viekhulimanyagha.”
But, as Scripture says, "Those shall see, to whom no report about Him has hitherto come, and those who until now have not heard shall understand."
22 Inchi nchunchikhaviekhile ukhuta une vansighaghe ukwincha khulyumwe.
And it is really this which has again and again prevented my coming to you.
23 Ukhuva lino, nielievuvule unsiekhi khunu, hanghe iemyakha minghi nikhale nuvufumbwe uwakhwincha khulyumwe.
But now, as there is no more unoccupied ground in this part of the world, and I have for years past been eager to pay you a visit,
24 Unsiekhi gwoni ugwakhiva nieluta khu Hispania, (pwu yunikwincha khulyumwe) ulwa khuva nihuvila ukhuvavona umwe vunighenda nu khukheliekhiwa numwe, enumbula yango yighute khulyumwe padebe.
I hope, as soon as ever I extend my travels into Spain, to see you on my way and be helped forward by you on my journey, when I have first enjoyed being with you for a time.
25 Leino niluta tasi ku Yerusalemu nikhavatange avanyapanji.
But at present I am going to Jerusalem to serve God's people,
26 Ulwakhu panoghile khuvanu avakhu Makedonia nava Akaya ukhuvomba ukhuhanghilanila khuva vavalanche avaliekhu Yerusalemu vavo vaghanchu.
for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.
27 Ena, panogile, hange vavile nuonkhole khuvene. Ulwa khuva avanyapanji vahangile ukhuvomba imbo inchavene incha munumbula, panoghile ukhuvavombela imbombo inchavene incha mbielie.
Yes, they have kindly done this, and, in fact, it was a debt they owed them. For seeing that the Gentiles have been admitted in to partnership with the Jews in their spiritual blessings, they in turn are under an obligation to render sacred service to the Jews in temporal things.
28 Pwu ninghamale imbombo eiyo, nukhuviekha ikhimanyilo isekhe ieyo, nighendela khulyumwe, ukhuluta khu Hispania.
So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there;
29 Une nilumanyile ukhuta nienhinche khulyumwe, nikwincha nikhuvagheghela ulusayo ulwa Klisiti.
and I know that when I come to you it will be with a vast amount of blessing from Christ.
30 Valukholo lwango, nikhuvadovela khu Untwa veitu u Yesu Klisiti, nulughano ulya Mepo, mwietangaghe pwu paninie nune ukhundovela khwa Nguluve.
But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,
31 Ukhuta niepokhiwe paninie navala avasavikwiedhikha khu Yudea, hanghe uvuvombeli wango uvunielienawo khu Yerusalemu wiedhiekhiewe na vavalanche.
asking that I may escape unhurt from those in Judaea who are disobedient, and that the service which I am going to Jerusalem to render may be well received by the Church there,
32 Pwu nienche khulyumwe nuluhekhelo, nduvuinogwa uNguluve, pwu nikhaghatalukhe paninie numwe.
in order that if God be willing I may come to you with a glad heart, and may enjoy a time of rest with you.
33 UNguluve uvalunonchehencho avinchaghe numwe mwevoni. Amina
May God, who gives peace be with you all! Amen.
