Arumi 15

1 Tubwe twenga twabi na ngupu tupalikwe kuputwa udhaifi wa babile adhaifu, na tupali kwali kwipendekeza mwabene.

Now we who are strong ought to bear with the limitations of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 Kila jumo ampendi jirani jwake kwani likowe linanoga, kwania ya chenga.

Let each of us please the neighbor with a view to what is good for edifying.

3 Kwani hata Kirisitu haipendi lii mwene. Badala yake, yabi kati yaiandikilwe, “matukano gabalo gamakutukine ganipatike nenga.

Because even the Christ did not please Himself; rather, as it is written: “The revilings of those reviling you fell on me.”

4 Kwa chochote cha andikilwe kutubakiya, kwo husu lyaa kwopetya pumulia na petya kupeya mwoyo na mwandiki na ujasili.

Whatever things were written before were so written for our instruction, so that through the fortitude and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

5 Tumbwe na Nnongo jwo pumulia na kuyeya mwoyo apiba na lenga kwa kila yumo lengana Yesu Kirisitu.

Now may the God of that fortitude and that encouragement grant you to be of the same mind among yourselves according to Christ Jesus,

6 Awese pnga nyoo kwa nia jimo muwese kunemba kwa nkano ngumo Nnongo na Tate ba Nngwana witu Yesu Kirisitu.

so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one heart and voice.

7 Nga nyo mukalibishe kila jumo, kati Kirisitu mwapokile, kwa utukufu wa Nnongo.

Therefore accept one another, just as the Christ also accepted us, to the glory of God.

8 mwanja namani Kirisitu apangilwe mtumwa wa likombe kwa lenge lya ukweli wa Nnongo. Apangite lenga awese thibitisha aidiyayabakilwe kwa akina tati,

Now I say that Christ Jesus has become a minister to the circumcised on behalf of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers;

9 Na kwa mataifa kunumba Nnongo kwa uruma yake kati mwabaandike, “nga nyo nipia sifa kayako kati ya mataifa na yembesifa kwa lina lyake”.

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: “For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, O Lord, and will sing psalms to your name.”

10 Kae yenda baya, “mupulaike mwenga mwa bandu mwa mataifa pamope na bandu bake”

And again He says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”

11 Na kai, munnumbe Nngwana, mwenga mwa mataifa gote, leka bandu ba mataifa bati munumbe jwembe”.

And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and laud Him, all you peoples!”

12 Na Isaya alonga, kulowa ba kike cha Yese, na yumo jwa katuka tawala mataifa. Mataifa balowa kutumainiya jwembe”.

And again, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, even He who rises up to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will place their hope on Him.”

13 Tubwe Nnongo watu tumaini alweleye pula yoti na amani kwo aminiya, lenga muwese yongekelwa aminiya. Kwa ngupu ya Roho mpeletau.

Now may the God of the hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in that hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 Ata nenga na jwembe, muni utike namwe, mwalongo bango, nitishawisika panga, mwenga mwabenemmejazwa na wema, mejazwa na mataifa goti. Mutinishawishi panga, mwenga mwenda wesa ata imizana kila jumo na nnyine.

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

15 Ila niandika kwo ujasili sana kachinu husu ikowe fulani lenga kunkombokeye kae, sababu ya kipawa chanipejilwe na Nnongo.

Nevertheless I have written to you quite boldly on some points, brothers, as a reminder to you, because of the grace given to me by God,

16 Kipawa ache chabile lenga niwese bana tumwa wa Yesu Kirisitu jwatumilwe kwa amataifa, kwipiya kati kuhani wa injili ya Nnongo. Mbele wesa panga nyo lenga kwipiya kwango kwa mataifa kube kuyeketilwe, ibekilwe bwega na Nnongo kwa ndela ya Roho mpeletau.

that I should be a minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, serving the Gospel of God as a priest so that the Gentiles might become an acceptable offering, sanctified by Holy Spirit.

17 Hivi pura yango ibi na Kirisitu Yesu na katika makowe ga Nnongo.

So in Christ Jesus I do have a boast in things pertaining to God;

18 Kwani gwesa kwapaya longela lyolyoti ila kwa Kirisitu ati kamilisha petya kasangu tii kwa mataifa. Aga makowe gatimile.

because I do not presume to speak of anything except those things that Christ has accomplished through me to make the Gentiles obedient—by word and deed,

19 Kwa makowe na panga, kwa ngupu ya dalili na maajabu, na kwa ngupu ya Roho mpeletau. Aye yabile lenga buka YErusalemu, ndindikiya kutalu kati mwalibile niwese kwiputolya panja kwa timiya injili ya Kirisitu.

by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of God's Spirit, so that I have fully proclaimed the Gospel of the Christ from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum.

20 Kwa ndela yee, lengo lyangu libile kwitangaza injili, lakini sio patanganikwe Kirisitu atanganikwe kwa lina, lenga wete kana ngwese senga singiwa mundu jwenge.

It has always been my aim to evangelize where Christ has not been named, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation;

21 Kati mwa ba andike kwa jwembe “Jwembe ntupu abali yake aichile balowa kumona na lalu babakotweke kumona, na balo baba kotwike kunyowa balowa kutanga.

rather, as it is written: “Those to whom He was not announced will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

22 Kwa nyo nabile kai nitizuiliwa mala yananchima icha kachinu.

That is why I have been hindered these many times from coming to you.

23 Lakini leno, ntupu kai semu yeyote mumikoa, nanende tamaniya kwa iaka yana nchima icha kajino.

But now, no longer having a place in these parts, and having a longing these many years to come to you,

24 hivo mara goti mana nijei Hispania, ndegemea kumona mana nipetile, na wesa pelekelwa ndela yango na mwenga, bada ya pulaikya shiriki na mwe kwa wakati.

whenever I travel to Spain I will come to you. Because I hope to see you while passing through, and to be sent on my way there by you, if I may first enjoy your company for a while.

25 Lakini niyei Yerusalem kwa udumia aminia.

Now, however, I am traveling to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

26 mana yati kwapendeza bandu makedonia na akaya panga nchango malum kwa masikini nkati yake bahamini ba Yerusalem.

Because Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

27 Ayo yabile kwa penda kwabe, na kweli babile wadeni babe. Mana mana itei mataifa bati shiriki makowe gabe ga imani, benda longelwa na bembe nembe kwa yangatia cha bapongokiwe kwa ilebe.

Yes, they were pleased, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are also obligated to minister to them in physical things.

28 Nga nyo muda wanikamilise haye noba. kila kilibe litundale kachabe, nenga nalowayenda mundela na mwenga na nenga Hispania.

So when I have finished this and have sealed to them this ‘fruit’, I will go by way of you to Spain.

29 Ndangite panga wakati wanaicha kachinu naicha kwo kamilika na barikilwa na kirisitu.

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

30 Tubwe nenda kunnoba, mwalongo mwa bwana witu Yesu Kirisitu, nakwopenda wa Roho, mushiriki pamope na nenga mulubya kwinu kwa Nnongokwasababu yango.

Now I implore you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers to God on my behalf,

31 Mulobe na'nee nipate lopolwa buka kasabe baba kani yeketya Yudea, na uduma yango akwo Yerusalem iwese pokolelwa na baba aminile.

that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service to Jerusalem may be well received by the saints;

32 Mulobe panga niche kachinu kwo pulaika kwo petya mapenzi ga Nnongo, na niwese ba pamope na mwee, pata mpomolya.

so that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed together with you.

33 Na nnongo wa amani abe pamope na mwenga mwabote. Amina.

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
