Barome 15
1 Biso oyo tolenda na kondima, tosengeli kondima bolembu ya bato oyo balenda te na kondima mpe koboya komisepelisa kaka biso moko.
We, then, who are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Tika ete moto nyonso kati na biso aluka kosepelisa moninga na ye mpo na bolamu mpe bolendisami na ye!
Wherefore, let every one of us please his neighbor, as far as it is good for edification.
3 Pamba te ezala Klisto, alukaki te komisepelisa Ye moko; kasi alobaki, kolanda ndenge ekomama, « mafinga ya bato oyo bafingaki yo ekweyaki epai na ngai. »
For even Christ sought not his own pleasure: but, as it is written, "The reproaches of them who reproached you, have fallen on me."
4 Nzokande, makambo nyonso oyo ekomama kala ekomamaki mpo na koteya biso, mpo ete na nzela ya kokanga motema mpe malendisi oyo Makomi epesaka, tozala na elikya.
Now whatever things were before written, were written for our instruction: that through the patience and admonition of the scriptures, we might have hope.
5 Tika ete Nzambe oyo apesaka bato molende mpe mpiko apesa bino makanisi moko, bamoko elongo na bamosusu, kolanda mokano ya Yesu-Klisto,
Now, may the God who gives patience and admonition, give to you mutual unity of sentiment, according to Christ Jesus.
6 mpo ete bopesa nkembo na Nzambe, Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, na makanisi moko mpe na monoko moko.
That with one mind, and with one voice, you may glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Yango wana, boyambanaka, bamoko na bamosusu, ndenge Klisto ayambaki bino mpo na nkembo na Nzambe.
Wherefore, cordially receive one another; even as Christ also has received us to the glory of God.
8 Pamba te nazali koloba na bino solo: Klisto akomaki Mosali ya Bayuda mpo na kokokisa bilaka oyo Nzambe apesaki epai ya bakoko na bango mpe kolakisa ete Nzambe azali Moyengebene.
Now, I affirm that Jesus Christ became a minister of the circumcision on account of the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises made to the fathers;
9 Ayaki mpe mpo ete Bapagano bapesa Nzambe nkembo mpo na mawa na Ye, kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Yango wana nakokumisa Yo kati na Bapagano, mpe nakoyemba nzembo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo. »
and that the Gentiles might praise God on account of mercy: as it is written, "For this cause I will glorify thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name."
10 Alobaki lisusu: « Bapagano, bosepela elongo na bato na Ye. »
And again he says, "Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people."
11 Mpe lisusu: « Bino bato ya bikolo nyonso, bokumisa Nkolo! Tika ete bato ya mabota nyonso bakumisa Ye! »
And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; and extol him, all you people."
12 Ezayi mpe alobaki: « Moto moko akobima wuta na libota ya Izayi, akotelema mpo na kokonza bikolo, mpe Bapagano bakotiela Ye elikya. »
And again, Isaiah says, to be a leader of the Gentiles; upon him shall the Gentiles place their hope."
13 Tika ete Nzambe oyo apesaka elikya atondisa bino na esengo nyonso mpe na kimia nyonso kati na kondima, mpo ete botonda na elikya na nzela ya nguya ya Molimo Mosantu.
Now, may the God of hope fill you with all joy, and peace, in believing; in order that you may abound in that hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Bandeko na ngai, nandimisami solo ete botondi na boboto, na boyebi nyonso mpe na makoki ya kolendisana, bamoko na bamosusu.
However, my brethren, I myself am persuaded concerning you, that you also are full of goodness, being filled with all knowledge; able, also, to instruct one another.
15 Nzokande, mpo na kolamusa makanisi na bino, nakomelaki bino, na molende nyonso, ndambo ya makambo kolanda ngolu oyo Nzambe apesaki ngai
But, I have written the more boldly to you, brethren; partly, as calling things to your remembrance through the favor which is given me of God.
16 ya kozala mosali ya Yesu-Klisto mpo na Bapagano. Boye abulisi ngai mpo na kosakola Sango Malamu ya Nzambe mpo ete Bapagano bakoma likabo oyo ekosepelisa Nzambe, likabo oyo Molimo Mosantu abulisi.
In order to my being a minister of Jesus Christ, among the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that there might be an offering of the Gentiles most acceptable; being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Yango wana namikumisaka kati na Yesu-Klisto, na mosala oyo nasalaka mpo na Nzambe.
I have, therefore, glorifying, through Christ Jesus, with respect to things pertaining to God.
18 Pamba te soki nakoki koloba, nakoloba kaka mpo na makambo oyo Klisto asalaki na nzela na ngai, mpo na komema Bapagano na kotosa Nzambe. Asalaki yango na nzela ya makambo oyo nalobaki mpe nasalaki
But, I will not dare to speak anything of what Christ has not wrought; but, of what he has wrought, by me, in order to the obedience of the Gentiles in word and deed;
19 na nzela ya nguya Molimo na Nzambe, oyo emonisami kati na bikamwa mpe bilembo. Boye, wuta na Yelusalemi, na bazingazinga nyonso kino na Iliri, nasakolaki Sango Malamu ya Klisto na mobimba na yango.
by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Holy Spirit: so that from Jerusalem, and round about, as far as Illyricum, I have fully declared the gospel of Christ;
20 Pamba te nazwaki mokano ya koteya Sango Malamu na bisika oyo Kombo ya Klisto eyebanaki nanu te, mpo ete natonga na likolo ya moboko ya moto mosusu te,
and so, also, that I was strongly desirous to declare the gospel where Christ was not named, that I might not build on another's foundation.
21 kasi kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Bato oyo babetela bango nanu lisolo te na tina na Ye bakomona, mpe ba-oyo bayoka nanu sango na Ye te bakososola. »
But, as it is written, "They shall see, to whom nothing has been told concerning him; and they who have not heard, shall understand."
22 Yango nde ezalaki mbala mingi kokanga ngai nzela ya koya epai na bino.
For which reason, also, I have been greatly hindered from coming to you.
23 Kasi sik’oyo, nazali lisusu na esika te ya kosala mosala kati na etuka oyo; bongo lokola wuta kala, nazalaka na posa makasi ya koya epai na bino,
But now, having no more place in these parts, and having for many years a strong desire to come to you,
24 nazali kosala mabongisi ya kokokisa yango tango nakokende na Espane. Nazali na elikya ete, wana nakolekela epai na bino, nakomona bino mpe nakozwa lisungi na bino mpo na kokende kuna, sima na ngai kosepela kovanda elongo na bino ata na mwa tango moke.
whensoever I go toward Spain, I hope, as I pass on, to see you, and to be brought on my way thither by you, when I shall first, in some measure, be satisfied with your company.
25 Nzokande sik’oyo, nazali kokende na Yelusalemi mpo na komemela basantu lisungi.
But now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;
26 Pamba te Mangomba ya Masedwane mpe ya Akayi ezwaki mokano ya kosangisa biloko mpo na kosunga babola oyo bazali kati na basantu ya Yelusalemi.
for Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem.
27 Solo, bango moko nde bazwaki mokano ya kosala bongo mpo ete ezalaki lokola niongo epai na bango. Pamba te soki Bayuda bakabolaki makabo ya molimo elongo na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, bango mpe basengeli kokabola biloko na bango elongo na Bayuda.
They have been pleased, indeed; and their debtors they are: for if the Gentiles have partaken of their spiritual things, they ought certainly to minister to them in temporal things.
28 Soki nasilisi mosala oyo mpe napesi bango lisungi yango, nakolekela epai na bino tango nakokende na Espane.
Wherefore, having finished this affair, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will go from thence by you into Spain.
29 Nayebi ete tango nakoya epai na bino, nakoya na mapamboli mingi ya Klisto.
And I know when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
30 Kasi nabondeli bino bandeko, na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, mpe ya bolingo ya Molimo: Bobundaka elongo na ngai kati na mabondeli oyo bosalaka epai ya Nzambe na tina na ngai
Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me, by prayers for me to God;
31 mpo ete nakangolama na maboko ya bato oyo bandimaka te kati na Yuda, mpe mpo ete basantu ya Yelusalemi bayamba malamu lisungi oyo nakomemela bango.
that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea; and that my service, which I am performing for Jerusalem, may be acceptable to the saints:
32 Na bongo nde nakolonga kokoma epai na bino na esengo; mpe soki Nzambe akolinga, nakopema mwa moke elongo na bino.
that in joy I may come to you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed among you.
33 Tika ete Nzambe ya kimia azala elongo na bino nyonso! Amen!
Now may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
