Romana 15
1 Aa le mivave o kombimbao tika maozatseo, fe tsy t’ie hampiehake vatañe;
Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 songa hampifale ondaty ami’ty hasoa tika, hampiraorao aze.
Let each one of us please his neighbour for that which is good, to be building him up.
3 Tsy nanao ty hampinembanembam-bata’e i Norizañey; fa hoe ty pinatetse: Nidoñ’amako ty ìnje’ o nañinje azoo.
For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
4 Hene nisokireñe hañòhañe antikañe ze pinatetse haehae, soa te hanan-ko tamaeñe amy fahaliñisañey naho amy fañosiha’ i Sokitse Masiñeiy.
For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 I Andrianañaharem-pahaliñisañe naho fañohòañey abey ro hifampipiteha’ areo troke no’ Iesoà Norizañey,
Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
6 soa t’ie hirai-troke naho songa hirihoñe am-piarañanañañe raike handrenge an’Andrianañahare Rae’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Aa le mifampihovà, hambañe ami’ty nampiziliha’ i Norizañey antika, ho ami’ty engen’ Añahare.
Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
8 Le itaroñako te mpitoroñe i fisavarañey i Norizañey, ho ami’ty hatòn’ Añahare, hamenteañe o nampitamà’e aman-droaeo,
Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
9 naho fiferenaiñañe ty handrengea’ o kilakila’ ndatio an’ Andrianañahare, fa hoe ty pinatetse: Ie rengèko amo kilakila’ndatio, vaho ho saboeko ty tahina’o;
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.”
10 le tinovo’e ty hoe: Mitroafa rebeke am’ ondati’eo ry kilakila’ ondatio.
Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11 ty tovo’e ka: Mandrengea i Talè ry kilakila ondatio, misaboa aze ry hene ondatio.
Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
12 le tinovo’ Isaia ty hoe: Hitotsake ty vaha’ i Jese le hitroatse re hifehe o fifeheañeo, ie ty fitamà’ o kilakila’ndatio.
Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
13 I Andrianañaharem-pitamàñey abey ro handifotse anahareo an-drebeke naho an-kanintsiñe am-patokisañe, hampipea’e fitamàñe añamy haozara’ i Arofo Masiñey.
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.
14 O ry longo, iantofako ty ama’ areo, te pèa hasoa naho lifo-kilala, hifanoroa’ areo.
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.
15 Teo ty nahasibehako an-tsokitse, haniahiako anahareo indraike, i falalàñe natolon’ Añahare ahikoy,
But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
16 ho mpitoro’ Iesoà Norizañey amo kilakila’ ndatio; mitoloñe ho mpisoro’ i talily soan’ Añaharey, soa te ho no’e ty añengaeko o kilakila’ ndaty navahe’ i Arofo Masiñeio.
that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus 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.
17 Toe nanjo ty hirengeako am’ Iesoà Norizañey amo raha mioza aman’ Añahareo,
I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
18 fe tsy vaniko volañeñe ndra inoñ’ inoñe tsy nanoe’ i Norizañey añamakoo, le ty hampivohotse o kilakila ‘ndatio an-tsaontsy naho am-pitoloñañe,
For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
19 ami’ty haozara’ o viloñe naho raha tsitantaneo, ami’ty hafatrara’ i Arofo Masiñey. Aa le boak’ Ierosaleme pak’ amparipari’ Ilirikiona añe ty nitaroñeko ami’ty hafonira’e ty talili-soa’ i Norizañey.
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 Christ;
20 Izay ty nimaneako fitaroñe i talili-soay an-tane mboe tsy nahajanjiñe ty tahina’ i Norizañey, tsy handranjiako ami’ty mananta’ ondaty.
yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
21 Fa hoe ty pinatetse: O tsy nitaliliañeo ro hahaoniñe; vaho o tsy nahajanjiñeo, ro haharendreke.
But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
22 Beteke izay ty nanebañe ahy tsy hombàko mb’ama’ areo mb’eo.
Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
23 Aa ie henane zao, amy te tsy aman-toetse hitoroñako an-tane atoa ka, le ami’ty nisalalaeko taoñe maro ty hitilike anahareo,
but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
24 le amy liako mb’e Spania añe, ty itamako hahaisake anahareo t’ie miary mb’eo, hampionjona’ areo, itika fa nifañòhahoha heike.
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.
25 F’ie homb’e Ierosaleme añe hey hitoroñe o noro’eo.
But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
26 Amy te nahaehake o nte Makedoniao naho o nte Akaiao ty hanolotse amo noro’e misotry e Ierosalemeo.
For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor amongst the saints who are at Jerusalem.
27 Eka, toe nampinembanembañe iareo, fa mpisongo ama’e. Aa ie nandrambe raha añ’arofo am’iareo o kilakila’ ndatio, le avaha’ iareo amo raha’ ty tane’ toio ka;
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.
28 ie nañeneke izay naho fa vinoli-tomboko ho am’ iareo i mahakamay, le hiary mb’ama’ areo naho mb’e Spaina añe.
When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
29 Fantako t’ie pok’ ama’ areo ao, le hitotsake eo ami’ty hapeam-pitahia’ i Norizañey.
I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
30 Aa le mihalaly ama’ areo iraho ry longo, ty amy Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey naho ami’ty fikokoa’ i Arofoy, ty hifanehafantika halaly aman’ Añahare ho ahy,
Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
31 t’ie ho rombaheñe amo manjehatse e Iehodào, naho ho no’ o noro’e e Ierosalemeo ty fitoroñako ho a iareo,
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 saints,
32 hahafionjonako mb’ama’ areo mb’eo an-kaehake ami’ty satrin’ arofon’ Añahare, vaho hanjò hanintsin-troke ama’ areo.
that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
33 I Andrianañaharem-pierañerañañey abey ho ama’ areo iaby. Amena.
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
