Valumi 15
1 Tete vetivii na makakala mu sadika, tiganikiwa kuvatangatila vakulenda. Tikotoka kukita mambu gegatiganisa tavete ndu.
We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Kila mmonga witu iganikiwa kumganisa mundu yungi kwa kumkitila gabwina na muni amkangamalisa mu sadika.
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3 Muni Kilisitu ajiganisi lepi mwene. Pahali paki Mayandiku chegijova, “Maligu goha gevakuligili, ganikolili nene.”
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4 Muni, goha gegayandikiwi kadeni gayandikwi kutiwula tete, muni kwa kusindimala na kupoleswa mtima, yetipata mu Mayandiku ago, tivya na huvalila.
For whatever things were written in former times were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Chapanga mwakuvapela usindimala na kupoleswa mtima avapela nyenye mpungu wa umonga pagati yinu, pemukumlanda Yesu Kilisitu,
Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 mwavoha nyenye, kwa mtima umonga na lwami lumonga, mumlumbalila Chapanga mweavili Dadi wa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Hinu, mumpokelana nyenye kwa nyenye ngati Kilisitu cheavapokili ndava ya Ukulu wa Chapanga.
Therefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8 Muni, chakaka nikuvajovela kuvya, Kilisitu akitili uhengaji ndava ya Vayawudi kulangisa usadika wa Chapanga na lilaganu lila levapewili vagogo vitu litimilikayi,
Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:
9 Mewawa vandu vangali Vayawudi vamulumbalila Chapanga ndava ya lipyana laki. Ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Hinu yati tikumlumbalila pagati ya vandu vangali Vayawudi. Yati niyimba lunyimbu lwa kulilumbalila liina laku.”
And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.
10 Kangi Mayandiku chegijova, “Muhekelela, nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi, muhekelela pamonga na vandu va Chapanga.”
And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 Na kavili, “Nyenye vandu voha vangali Vayawudi, mumlumbalila BAMBU, vandu voha mumlumbayi.”
And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12 Isaya ijova, “Yati ihumalila nkosi mu lukolo lwa Yese, na kuvatalalila vandu vangali Vayawudi, na vene yati vakumuhuvalila.”
And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Hinu, Chapanga mweileta huvalila, avamemesa luheku lwoha lwa uteke mu sadika yinu. Na huvalila yinu yiyonjokesa kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Valongo vangu, nene nivii na uchakaka kuvya nyenye mmemili ubwina, muna mawuliwu goha hati muhotola kuwulana nyenye kwa nyenye.
And I myself also am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 Nambu mubalua iyi nivayandikili changali wogohi, mu mambu ndalindali muni ivakumbusayi kavili. Nivili na ukekesi ndava ya ubwina wa Chapanga wenipewili nayu,
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly to you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me from God,
16 kuvya mtumisi wa Yesu Kilisitu kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi. Nikita lihengu langu kwa ukekesi kukokosa Lilovi La Bwina la Chapanga muni vandu vangali Vayawudi vavyai luteta lweluyidakiliwa na Chapanga, yeyinyambiswa na Mpungu Msopi.
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Ndi cheniwungini na Yesu Kilisitu, nihotola kumekela lihengu langu lenili kwa kumhengela Chapanga.
I have therefore cause for glorying through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
18 Nangahotola kuyonjokesa chindu chingi, ndi chila Yesu Kilisitu achihengili kwa kunitumila nene muni vandu va milima vahotola kuyidakila. Akitili chenicho kwa malovi na matendu,
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19 kwa makakala ga chinamtiti na kukangasa, na kwa makakala ga Mpungu wa Chapanga. Hinu kwa kuvya mulugendu kila pahala, kuhumila Yelusalemu mbaka mulima Luliko, na kila pandu nikokwisi cha kukamilika vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Kilisitu.
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and all around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 Chenigana magono goha ndi chindu chimonga, kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina popoha pala liina la Kilisitu lakona kuyuwanika, nikotoka kujenga mkingisa weujengiwi na mundu yungi.
And, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:
21 Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Vandu voha vangajovewa makokoselu gaki yati vilola, na vala vangayuwana makokoselu gaki, yati vimanya.”
But as it is written, They shall see to whom he was not spoken of: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22 Hinu yeniyo ndi yeyanidivalili nene pamahele kubwela kwinu.
For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
23 Nambu hinu nimali lihengu langu kwa upandi uwu wa mulima, ndava muni ninogili pamahele kubwela kwinu,
But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you;
24 nihuvalila kukita chenicho hinu. Nigana kuvalola penivyai mulugendu kuhamba Isipania na kupata utangatilu winu kwa lugendu, panivyai pamonga na nyenye kwa magono.
Whenever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way there by you, if first I shall be somewhat filled with your company.
25 Nambu hinu, nihamba hoti kuvahengela vandu va Chapanga ku Yelusalemu.
But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.
26 Muni misambi ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va Makedonia na Akaya, vahekalili kutipela michangu yavi kuvatangatila vandu va Chapanga vevavili vangangu ku Yelusalemu.
For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are at Jerusalem.
27 Vene vahekalili kuvatangatila, muni chakaka lihengu la kuvatangatila mu lenili, vandu vanga Vayawudi, vahanganili mota za chimpungu za Vayawudi, na vene viganikiwa kuvatangatila Vayawudi muvindu vyevigana muwumi wavi.
It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in carnal things.
28 Hinu penimali lihengu la kuvahikisila mchangu wenipewili ndava yavi, yati nikuvagendelela nyenye penivya mulugendu lwa kuhamba ku Isipania.
When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go by you into Spain.
29 Nimanyili penibwela kwinu, yati nibwela na mota ng'onyo kuhuma kwa Kilisitu.
And I am sure that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30 Hinu, Valongo vangu, nivayupa neju kwa liina la BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu na kwa uganu weubwela na Mpungu Msopi, munitangatila kwa kuniyupila neju kwa Chapanga.
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31 Muyupa muni nihotola kuhuma changalemaswa pagati ya vala vangamsadika Kilisitu vevavi Yudea, ndi muni lihengu langu liyidakiwayi na vandu va ku Yelusalemu.
That I may be delivered from them in Judaea who do not believe; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;
32 Hinu, Chapanga akaganayi, yati nihotola kubwela kwinu na mtima wa luheku, nipumulilayi pamonga na nyenye.
That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33 Chapanga mweileta uteke ndi avyayi na mwavoha nyenye! Ena!
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
