Maroma 15

1 Linu kwetu tukolete tu swanela ku kutusa bufokoli bu ba fokola, imi ni kusa litabisa tubene.

Now we the strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the frail, and not to please ourselves.

2 Tusiye zumwi ni zumwi kwetu atabise ya bambene naye kwezina zi lotu, ili kuti a zakwe naye.

Let each of us please his neighbor for what is good toward edification.

3 Mi ni heiba Kirisite kena abali tabisi mwine. Nihakubulyo, ibena bo bulyo sina mukuñolelwe, “Matapa abo ba bamituki aba wili hangu.”

For Christ also did not please himself, but as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell upon me.

4 Kakuti zonse zi bañoletwe ku masule ziba ñolwa che intaelo zetu, ili kuti che inkulonde ni che insusuwezo ya mañolo tube ni insepo.

For as many things as were written previously were written for our learning, so that through perseverance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

5 Linu Ireeza we inkulonde ni insusuwezo a mihe mizezo iswana kuzwilila kwa Jesu Kirisite.

Now may the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to think the same way among each other, in accord with Christ Jesus,

6 A pange bulyo ili kuti cha muzezo umwina ni mulomo umwina mutembe Ireeza ni Isi wa Simwine wetu Jesu Kirisite.

so that unanimously, with one mouth, ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Kuzwaho mutambule zumwi ni zumwi sina Kirisite mwa ba mitambwili, chentumbo ya Ireeza.

Therefore receive ye each other, just as Christ also received you for the glory of God.

8 Chingi ni wamba bulyo Kirisite abapangwa buhikana bwa mupato kwi neku lyo buniti bwa Ireeza, cha kwi zuzikiza insepiso zi bahewa ku bazazi,

And I say, Christ Jesus became a helper of men of circumcision, for the sake of God's truth (in order to confirm the promises of the fathers),

9 mi ku Basikunze ni kuha ikanya kwa Ireeza cha chishemo chakwe. Kwina bulyo sina mu kuñolelwe, “Kuzwaho kanihe ikanya mukati ka Basikunze ni kuzimba intumbo che zina lyako.”

and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.

10 Hape iti, “Musange, inwe mu Basikunze, ni bantu bakwe.”

And again he says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.

11 Mi hape, “Mutembe Simwine, mubose Basikunze; musiye bantu bonse ba mutembe.”

And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him.

12 Hape, Isaya uti, “Kakube ni muhisi wa Jese, mi iye yesa buke ku yendisa hewulu li Basikunze. Basikunze ka babe ni insepo mwali.”

And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.

13 Linu Ireeza we insepo amizuze kusanga ni inkozo yonse cha ku zumina, ili kuti mube ni ku kwatinsana munsepo, cha ziho zo Luhuho Lujolola.

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

14 Name ni mwine ni zuwisisa chenu, ba mwangu. Ni zuwisisa kuti nanwe bulyo mwi zwile bulotu, kwizula inzibo yonse. Ni zuwisisa kuti nanwe bulyo muwola kuli nyemuna zumwi ni zumwi.

And I also myself am persuaded about you, my brothers, that ye yourselves are also full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

15 Kono ni miñolela cha bundume bungi kwenu cha zintu zimwi ili ku mihupulisa hape, chebaka lye mpo ibahewa ime cha Ireeza.

But I wrote more boldly to you, brothers, in part, as reminding you because of the grace that was given to me by God,

16 Iyi mpo ibali kuti ni swanela ku ba ni muhikana wa Jesu Kirisite yo tumitwe ku Basikunze, kuha sina mupurisita ivangeli ya Ireeza. Ni swanela kutenda bulyo ili kuti inubu i Basikunze pona chi itambulwa, ku jolozwa cha Luhuho Lujolola.

for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, serving the good news of God like a priest, so that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, being sanctified in the Holy Spirit.

17 Imi kusanga kwangu kwina mwa Jesu Kirisite ni muzintu za Ireeza.

I have therefore a boast in Christ Jesus in things toward God.

18 Njikuti kese ni wambe chimwi kwande yecho Kirisite cha ba maniselezi kuzwa kwangu cha ku kuteka ku Basikunze. Izi zintu zitendwa cha linzwii ni mutendo,

For I will not dare to speak anything of which Christ did not accomplish through me for the obedience of Gentiles, by word and work,

19 cha ziho za zisupo ni zikomokisa, ni cha ziho za Luhuho Lujolola. Ichi chi bapangahali bulyo kuti kuzwa mwa Jerusalema, mi ni kuzimbuluka umo mane ku kasika kwa Iliriko, ili kuti niwole kutwala linzwi lya Kirisite cho kwizula.

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of a Spirit of God, so that for me, from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum, to fully preach the good news of Christ.

20 Che iyi nzila, intakazo yangu ibali ya kuwamba ivangeli, kono isiñi kwe zibitwe Kirisite chezina, ili kuti kanzi ni zaki hewulu lya mutomo wa zumwi muntu.

And thus having aspired to proclaim the good news not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build upon a foundation belonging to another man,

21 Mukwikalile sina mu kuñolwe: “Abo kubali basena ba ba wambilwe zakwe mwize mu mubone, mi nabo basena ba bazuwi kaba zuwe.”

but, as it is written, They will see to whom it was not reported about him, and they will understand who have not heard.

22 Kuzwaho ni ba kaniswa tungi kukwiza kwenu.

Therefore also, I was delayed these many times coming to you.

23 Kono hanu, ka nisina chibaka mwezi zikiliti, mi ni ba lyolelwe cha zillimo zingi kwiza kwenu.

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

24 Monse muniyendela kwa Sipeini, ni sepa ku mibona ha nihita, mi ni ku nisindikizwa munzila chenu, hani mana ku likola kuli kopanya nanwe che nako zana.

whenever I go to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you while passing through, and there to be helped on the way by you, if first I may be partly satisfied from you.

25 Kono hanu ni kaya kwa Jerusalema kuka tendela ba zumine.

But now I am going to Jerusalem serving the sanctified.

26 Sina hakubali kulotu ku tabisa kwa Masedonia ni Akaya kuha chimwi ku basena mukati ka bazumine mwa Jerusalema.

For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain participation for the poor of the sanctified at Jerusalem.

27 Eee, ku bali kutabiswa kwabo, imi, luli, cho kuti ba bali ku bakolota. Mi heiba Basikunze ba bali abeli muzintu zabo za luhuho, ba bakolota nabo cha ku batenda muzintu zi boneka.

For they were pleased. And they are debtors of them, for if the Gentiles were partakers in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to serve them in the carnal things.

28 Kuzwaho, ha ni mana uwu mutendo ni ku bona kuti batambula zonse zi baletwa, ka ni yende kwa Sipeini ni ku mipotela hani hita.

Having therefore completed this, and having sealed this fruit for them, I will depart by you to Spain.

29 Nizi kuti ha nikeza kwenu kani ni ze mu kwizula che mbuyoti ya Kirisite

And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of the Christ.

30 Hanu ni mi susuweza, ba mwangu, cha Simwine wetu Jesu Kirisite, imi ni chelato lya Luhuho, kuti mulike hahulu mubonse name mwi intampelo kwa Ireeza changu.

Now I beseech you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive with me in prayers to God for me.

31 Mulapele kuti ni bukelezwe kwa bana basa kuteki mwa Judea, ili kuti kutenda kwangu mwa Jerusalema ku tambulwe ku bazumine.

So that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may become acceptable to the sanctified,

32 Mulapele kuti ni ze kwenu che intabo che intato ya Ireeza, ili kuti Ime, hamwina nanwe, ni wane impumulo.

so that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and be rested with you.

33 Mi Ireeza we inkozo abe nanwe mubonse. Amen.

And the God of peace is with you all. Truly.
