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.
We then who are strong ought to hear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Let each one of us please his neighbor, to promote what is good, for 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 Christ did not seek his own pleasure, but, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who 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 whatever things were written aforetime, were written for our instruction; that we through the patience and the consolation of the Scriptures 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.
And may the God of patience and consolation grant that ye may be of the same mind one with 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 accord ye may with one mouth glorify God, 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 ye one another, as Christ 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.
For I say that Christ became a minister to the circumcised for the sake of God's truth, in order to make sure the promises given 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 glorified God for his mercy, as it is written, “For this cause I will give praise to thee among the gentiles, and sing to thy name.”
10 Mme o buile mo felong gongwe a re, “Itumeleng, lona Badichaba, mmogo le batho ba one Bajuta.”
And again he saith: “Rejoice, ye 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 ye gentiles, and let every people praise him.”
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 saith: “There shall be the shoot from Jesse, and he that riseth up to rule the gentiles; in him shall the gentiles hope.”
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.
And may 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 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.
But I myself am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye are even of yourselves full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish 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.
But I have written to you, brethren, in a manner somewhat bold on some subjects, as putting you in mind, on account of the grace given me by God
that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus to the gentiles, performing the office of a priest in respect to the gospel of God, that the oblation of the gentiles may be acceptable, being 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 then ground for glorying in Christ Jesus in regard to the things pertaining m 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 be bold to say anything hut of what Christ hath actually wrought by me to bring the gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
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 Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and in the country around even to Illyricum, I have fully made known the gospel of 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.
but always earnestly desirous to preach it in this manner, —not where Christ had been named, that I might not build on another'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 no tidings concerning him came, shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.”
22 Tota, leo ke lone lebaka le ke ntseng ke sa lo etele ka lone.
For which cause also, for the most part, I have been 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 more opportunity in these regions, and having had for many years a great 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 go to Spain, I will come to you; for I hope to see you on my way, and to be helped forward thither by you, after I have in some degree satisfied myself 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 on a service of relief 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 thought it good to make a contribution for the poor among the saints 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 thought it good, and they owed it to them. For if the gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they ought in return to minister to them in temporal things.
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 have completed this business, and secured to them this fruit, I shall set out to pass through you to 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 when I come 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.
But I beseech you, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love produced by the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in 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 Judaea, and that my service for Jerusalem may prove 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.
so that, through the will of God, I may come to you in joy, and may with you be refreshed.
33 Mme ke gone a Modimo wa rona, o o re nayang kagiso, o nne le lona lotlhe. Amen.
And may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
