Baroma 15
1 Le fa re dumela gore ga go dire pha rologanyo epe mo Moreneng fa re dira dilo tse, le fa go ntse jalo ga re na go tswelela pele re dira re iitumedisa; gonne re tshwanetse go rwala “mokgweleo” wa go akanyetsa dipelaelo le dipoifo tsa ba bangwe, tsa ba ba bonang gore dilo tse ga di a siama. A re itumediseng yo mongwe, e seng rona, re bo re dire se se tshwanetseng tshiamo ya gagwe gore re mo age mo Moreneng.
But we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of those who are not strong, and not to please ourselves.
Let each one of us please his neighbor in that which is good for his edification.
3 Keresete ga a ise a ke a iitumedise. Jaaka Mopesalema a rile, “O tletse one maikaelelo a go bogisiwa ke matlhapa a ba ba kgatlhanong le Morena.”
For the Christ did not please himself; but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell on me.
4 Dilo tse, tse di neng di kwadilwe mo Dikwalong bogologolo di tshwanetse go re ruta bopelo-telele le go re kgothatsa, gore re tle re tlhome mogopolo kwa pele re solofetse nako ya fa Modimo o tlaa bong o fenya sebe le loso.
For the things which were formerly written, were written for our instruction, that we, through the patience and the comfort which the scriptures give, might have hope.
5 A Modimo o o nayang bopelotelele, boiketlo, le kgothatso o lo thuse gore lo tshedisanye ka kutlwano, mongwe le mongwe mo go yo mongwe ka mokgwa wa ga Keresete.
Now, may the God of patience and comfort make you of the same mind one toward another, according to Christ Jesus;
6 Ke gone rotlhe re ka galaletsang Morena mmogo ka lentswe le le lengwe fela, re galaletsa Modimo, Rara wa Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
that with one mind and with one voice you may glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Jalo he, amogelanang ka boitumelo mo phuthegong, fela jaaka Keresete a lo amogetse ka boitumelo; ke gone Modimo o tlaa galalediwang.
Wherefore, receive one another with kindness, as the Christ has received you, to the glory of God.
8 Gakologelwang gore Jesu Keresete o tletse go supa gore Modimo o boammaaruri mo ditsholofe-tsong tsa one le go thusa Bajuta.
Now, I say, that Jesus Christ, as a minister, was of the circumcision for the sake of the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises made to the fathers,
9 Gape gakologe-lwang gore o tletse le gore Badichaba ba bolokwe mme ba galaletse Modimo ka ntlha ya kutlwelo botlhoko ya one mo go bone. Ke sone se Mopesalema a neng a se raya fa a kwala a re, “Ke tlaa go galaletsa mo go Badichaba, ke bo ke baka leina la gago.”
and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: For this cause I will give praise to thee among the Gentiles, and to thy name will I sing.
10 Mme o buile mo felong gongwe a re, “Itumeleng, lona Badichaba, mmogo le batho ba one Bajuta.”
And again he says: Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.
11 Mme gape a re, “Galaletsang Morena, lona Badichaba, a mongwe le mongwe a mo galaletse.”
And again: Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and applaud him all you peoples.
12 Le moporofiti Isaia o rile, “go tlaa nna morua-boswa mo lotsong lwa ga Jesu, mme o tlaa nna Kgosi ya Badichaba; ba tlaa solofela mo go ene a le nosi.”
And again, Isaiah says: There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to rule the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Jalo ke a lo rapelela Badichaba gore Modimo o o lo nayang tsholofelo o tle o lo itumedise o lo tlatse ka kagiso fa lo ntse lo dumela mo go one. Ke rapela gore Modimo o lo thuse gore lo tlale tsholofelo mo go one ka nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo mo go lona.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in the hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Ke itse gore lo botlhale ebile lo molemo, bagaetsho, le gore lo itse dilo tse sentle thata mo e leng gore lo kgona go ruta bangwe ka ga tsone.
And I myself am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of all goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also to instruct one another.
15 Mme fela jalo ke ntse ke na le bosena-poifo go gatelela mangwe a mabaka a, ke itse gore gotlhe mo lo go tlhokang ke yone kgakololo e, e e tswang mo go nna; gonne ka ntlha ya tshegofatso ya Modimo ke morongwa wa botlhokwa go tswa mo go Jesu Keresete go ya kwa go lona Badichaba, ke lo leretse Mafoko a a Molemo ebile ke lo ntsha jaaka setlhabelo se se lebosegang mo Modimong; gonne lo ntlafaditswe lwa ba lwa dirwa go mo itumedisa ka Mowa O O Boitshepo.
Yet I have written to you more boldly in part, my brethren, as if I would put you in remembrance, on account of the grace which is given to me by God,
that I may be the public servant of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, officiating as a priest with respect to the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Jalo go ntshiametse go ipelafatsa go le gonnye kaga se Keresete Jesu o se dirileng ka nna.
I have, therefore, cause to glory in Christ Jesus in things that pertain to God.
18 Ke na le poifo go bua sentle thata ka fa a dirisitseng ba bangwe ka teng, mme legale ke itse se fela; o ntirisitse go gapela Badichaba mo Modimong.
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, by word and deed, in order to make the Gentiles obedient,
19 Ke ba gapile ka molaetsa wa me le ka tsela e e molemo e ke neng ke itshotse mo go bone ka yone, le ka dikgakgamatso tse di dirilweng ka nna e le ditshupo tse di tswang kwa Modimong, tsotlhe fela e le ka nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo. Ka yone tsela e, ke rerile mafoko a a Molemo a a tletseng a ga Keresete mo tseleng yotlhe go tsweng kwa Jerusalema go fitlha kwa Ilirikama.
by the power of signs and wonders by the power of the Holy Spirit. So that from Jerusalem, and round about as far as Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of the Christ;
20 Mme legale mo lobakeng lo lotlhe, maikaelelo a me e ntse e le go re ke fetele kwa pele, ke rere kwa leina la ga Keresete le iseng le ke le utlwale teng, go na le go rera kwa phuthego e setseng e simolotswe ke mongwe teng.
so earnestly desirous have I been to preach the gospel, not where Christ had been named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation;
21 Ke ntse ke setse morago leano la ga Keresete le le buiwang mo dikwalong mo Isaia a reng, “Ba ba iseng ba ke ba bo ba utlwe kaga leina la ga Keresete pele ba tlaa bona ebile ba tlaa tlhaloganya.”
but, as it is written: They to whom he was not preached, shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.
22 Tota, leo ke lone lebaka le ke ntseng ke sa lo etele ka lone.
For which reason, also, I have been often hindered from coming to you.
23 Mme legale jaanong ke feditse tiro ya me fano, ke setse ke siametse go tla jaanong morago ga dingwaga tse tsotlhe tsa tetelo.
But now, having no longer a place in these regions, and having had for many years a strong desire to come to you,
24 Gonne ke ikaelela go ya kwa Sepaina, mme fa ke ya teng, ke tlaa ema mo Roma; mme fa re sena go nna mmogo ka lobakanyana ke gone lo ka ntetlelelang go tswelela pele le mosepele wa me.
when I make my journey into Spain, I hope, in passing through, to see you, and to be conducted by you on my journey thither, after I am first partly satisfied with your company.
25 Mme pele ga ke tla koo, ke tshwanetse go fologela kwa Jerusalema ke isa mpho kwa Bakereseteng ba teng ba Sejuta.
But now I am going to Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.
26 Gonne lo bona gore Bakeresete ba Masedonia le Akaia ba ntsheditse Bakeresete ba Jerusalema ba ba mo mathateng mpho.
For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor saints who are in Jerusalem:
27 Ba ne ba itumela thata go dira jaana, gonne ba ne ba ikutlwa gore ba kolota Bakeresete ba Jerusalema. Ka go reng? Gonne dikgang kaga Keresete di tsile kwa go bone di tswa kwa phuthegong e e mo Jerusalema. Mme ka ba amogetse neo e ntle e ya semowa ya Mafoko a a Molemo mo go bone, ba bona gore bonnyennyane jo le bone ba ka bo ba direlang ke go ba fa thuso ya tse di tlhokwang ke nama.
they have been pleased to do so, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have become partakers of their spiritual things, they ought to minister to them in things pertaining to the flesh.
28 E tlaa re fela ke sena go gorosa madi a, le go fetsa tiro e ya bone e e molemo, ke tlaa tla go lo bona ke le mo tseleng ya me ya go ya Sepaina.
When, therefore, I shall have performed this, and have delivered to them this fruit, I will go by you into Spain.
29 Mme ke tlhomamisa gore e tlaa re fa ke tla, ke lo tlele lesego le legolo le le tswang mo Moreneng.
And I know that in coming to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
30 A lo tlaa nna barapedi mmogo le nna? Ka ntlha ya Morena Jesu Keresete, le ka ntlha ya ka fa lo nang le lorato mo go nna ka teng, lo lo lo neetsweng ke Mowa O O Boitshepo, nthapedisang thata mo tirong ya me.
Now I beseech you, brethren, 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 Rapelelang gore ke sirelediwe mo Jerusalema mo go ba e seng Bakeresete. Rapelelang gape gore Bakeresete ba teng ba itumelele go amogela madi a ke a isang kwa go bone.
that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that this service of mine, which is for Jerusalem, may be acceptable to the saints;
32 Mme ke tlaa kgona go tla kwa go lona ka pelo e e itumetseng ka go rata ga Modimo, mme ke gone re tlaa ikhutsang mmogo.
that I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed among you.
33 Mme ke gone a Modimo wa rona, o o re nayang kagiso, o nne le lona lotlhe. Amen.
The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
