Rooma 15
1 Kuweenna xoogga leh waxaa inagu waajib ah inaynu qaadno itaaldarrada kuwa xoogga yar, oo aynaan nafteenna ka farxin.
Most of us are sure [that God will not punish us for doing certain things that the laws and rituals God gave Moses said the Jews should not do. But we] should be patient with those who are uncertain [about such things], and we should not let them irritate us. We should not [simply] please ourselves.
2 Midkeen kastaaba deriskiisa ha ka farxiyo inuu ku wanaagsanaado oo ku dhismo.
Each of us should [do the things that] please the fellow [believers with whom we come in contact, and things that will] benefit them. [We should do those things] in order to help them mature [spiritually].
3 Waayo, Masiixiiba naftiisii kama uu farxin, laakiinse sida qoran, Caydii kuwii adiga ku caayay ayaa igu kor dhacday.
[We should please our fellow believers], since Christ [has set us an example]. He did not [do things to] please himself. On the contrary, [he tried to please God even when others insulted him. That was] as it is written {as ([someone/the Psalmist]) wrote} [in Scripture that the Messiah said to God]: “When people insulted you [(sg)], [it was as though] they were also insulting me.”
4 Waayo, wax alla wixii hore loo qorayba waxaa loo qoray waxbarashadeenna, inaynu dulqaadashada iyo gargaarka Qorniinka rajo ku lahaanno.
And [you need to remember that] what was written previously {what [God’s servants] previously wrote} [in the Scriptures], was written {[they] wrote} to teach us in order that we would be patient and be encouraged by [reading/believing] what they wrote. If we do that, we can confidently expect [God to do for us all he has promised].
5 Ilaaha dulqaadashada iyo gargaariddu ha ka dhigo in midkiinba midka kale la fikir ahaado sida Ciise Masiix,
God is the one who enables us to be patient and encourages us. ([Ask/Pray to]) [him that he would] enable you [all] to live harmoniously with each other, doing as Christ Jesus [did].
6 inaad isku qalbi iyo isku af ku ammaantaan Ilaaha ah Aabbaha Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix.
Then, as you are united in what you think and say [MTY], you will praise God, [who is the heavenly] father [MET] of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Sidaas daraaddeed isdhoweeya sida Masiixuna idiin dhoweeyey in Ilaah la ammaano.
So [I say to all of you believers at Rome], accept each other. [If you do that], people will praise God [as they see you behaving like Christ. Accept each other] just like Christ accepted you!
8 Waayo, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Masiixu wuxuu noqday kuwa gudan midiidinkooda, runta Ilaah aawadeed, inuu u xaqiijiyo ballamadii awowayaashii hore la siiyey,
I want [you to remember] that Christ [helped us] Jews [MTY] by what he did, in order to show that God (is faithful/does what he says he will do). That is, [his coming as our Messiah] fulfilled what God promised to [our Jewish] ancestors.
9 iyo in quruumuhu Ilaah u ammaanaan naxariistiisa, sida qoran, Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan kugu ammaani doonaa quruumaha dhexdooda, Oo magacaaga waan u gabyi doonaa.
And [by acting mercifully to them, he also caused] non-Jews to praise him. [What he has done for non-Jews] fulfills what is written [in the Scriptures that David said to God]: “So I will praise you [(sg) when I am] among the non-Jews, and I will sing to you [MTY].”
10 Oo haddana wuxuu leeyahay, Quruumahow, la reyreeya dadkiisa.
[David] also wrote, “You non-Jews, rejoice with us who are God’s people.”
11 Oo haddana, Rabbiga ammaana, quruumahoo dhammow, Dadkoo dhammuna ha ammaano isaga.
[And Moses wrote in] the [Scriptures], “Praise the Lord, all [you] non-Jews, and may everyone praise him [DOU].”
12 Oo haddana Isayos wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa jiri doona xididkii Yesay, Iyo kan u kacaya inuu u taliyo quruumaha, Isagayna quruumuhu wax ku rajayn doonaan.
And Isaiah wrote [in the Scriptures], “There will be a descendant [MET] of [King] David who will begin to rule the non-Jews. They will confidently expect him [to fulfill what he has promised].”
13 Ilaaha rajadu ha idinka buuxiyo farxad iyo nabad oo dhan, idinkoo rumaysan, si rajadiinnu ugu badato xoogga Ruuxa Quduuskaa.
God is the one who causes you to confidently expect [him to do what he has promised. I pray/ask] that he will cause you to be completely joyful and peaceful as you trust [in him]. As you do that, the Holy Spirit will enable you to more and more confidently expect [to receive what God has promised you].
14 Oo aniga qudhayduna waxaan idiin hubaa, walaalahayow, inuu wanaag idinka buuxo, oo laydinka buuxiyey aqoon oo dhan, oo aad kartaan inaad iswaanisaan.
My fellow believers, I myself am [completely] sure that you yourselves [have acted toward others] in a completely good way. You have done that because you have known completely [all that God wants you to know] [HYP], and because you are able to teach each other.
15 Laakiinse siyaalaha qaarkood dhiirranaan badan baan idiinku soo qoray inaan idin xusuusiyo, nimcadii xagga Ilaah layga siiyey aawadeed,
However, I have written to you quite frankly [in this letter] about some things in order to remind you [about those things]. [I have written this letter] because I have been appointed by God {God has [appointed] me}, which I did not deserve,
16 inaan dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn u noqdo midiidinkii Ciise Masiix, anigoo shuqulka wadaadnimada u qabanaya injiilka Ilaah, in sadaqada dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn la aqbalo, iyadoo quduus lagaga dhigay Ruuxa Quduuskaa.
in order that I would work for Jesus Christ among non-Jews. [God has appointed me] to act like a priest as I [proclaim] his good message in order that he will accept the non-Jews [who believe in Christ. They will be] like an offering [MET] [to God] as a result of their being dedicated [to him] by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit dedicating them [to God]}.
17 Haddaba xagga Ciise Masiix waxaan leeyahay wax aan ku faano, waana wax ku saabsan Ilaah.
It follows that, because [of my relationship with] (OR, because [I belong to]) Christ Jesus, I am happy about [my work for] God.
18 Waayo, kuma dhici doono inaan waxba ka hadlo wixii Masiixii iga dhex shaqeeyey mooyaane, dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn addeeciddooda aawadeed, oo uu igaga dhex shaqeeyey hadal iyo camal,
I will speak boldly only [LIT] about the work that Christ has enabled me to do. [I do that work] in order that non-Jews might pay attention to [the message about Christ] as a result of what I have said and done,
19 oo uu ku sameeyey xoogga calaamooyinka iyo yaababka, iyo xoogga Ruuxa Quduuskaa, oo sidaasaan injiilka Masiixa ugu wada wacdiyey Yeruusaalem iyo hareeraheeda iyo ilaa Illurikon.
specifically, by [my performing] many powerful miracles [DOU]. [I have done those things] as a result of [God’s] Spirit powerfully [enabling me]. As a result [of doing those things, while traveling] all the way around from Jerusalem to Illyricum [province], I have completed [my work] of proclaiming the message about Christ [in those places].
20 Sidaasaan u hawaystay inaan injiilka ku wacdiyo meel aan Masiixa awil lagu magacaabin, si aanan ugu dul dhisin aasaaska nin kale dhigay.
As [I proclaim] that message, I am always eagerly trying to proclaim it [in places] where people have not already heard about Christ. I do that in order that [as I work for God] I might not [be continuing the work for him that someone else already started] [MET]. [I do not want to be like a man who] builds [a house] on someone else’s foundation.
21 Laakiinse, sida qoran, Waxaa arki doona kuwo aan warkiisu u iman, Kuwii aan maqlinuna waa garan doonaan.
On the contrary, [I teach non-Jews, so that what happens may be like] what was written {the prophet Isaiah wrote} [in the Scriptures about the Messiah]: “Those who did not hear about him previously will know [the truth about him]. Truly, those who have not heard [about him will hear and] understand [his message] [DOU].”
22 Sidaas daraaddeed marar badan baa layga hor joogsaday imaatinkii aan idiin iman lahaa;
Because [I have attempted to preach the message about Christ in places where they have not heard about him], I have been hindered {things have hindered me} many times [from being able] to visit you.
23 laakiinse haatan anigoo aan meelahakan meel dambe ku lahayn, oo idin boholyoobayay sannado badan inaan idiin imaado,
But now there are no more places in these regions [where people have not heard about Christ]. Furthermore, for several years I have wanted to visit you.
24 markaan Isbaanya tago waxaan rajaynayaa inaan sodcaalkayga idinku arko oo idinna aad halkaas iga ambabbixisaan, markaan cabbaar idinku raaxaysto dabadeed,
[So I hope to go/come to see you]. I hope to do that as soon as I am on my way to [the provinces in] Spain. I hope to see you as I journey through [your area], and I hope that [by whatever you give me] [EUP] you will help me on my journey to Spain. But before [I go there], I want to enjoy being with you for a little while, although [I would like to stay with you longer].
25 laakiinse haatan waxaan aadayaa Yeruusaalem inaan u adeego quduusiinta.
But [I cannot visit you] now, because I am about to go to Jerusalem in order to take money [EUP] for God’s people [there].
26 Waayo, dadka Makedoniya iyo Akhaya waxay aad u jeclaysteen inay wax u ururiyaan masaakiinta ka midka ah quduusiinta Yeruusaalem joogta.
[The believers in] Macedonia and Achaia [provinces] [MTY] decided to contribute some [money] [EUP] for those of God’s people in Jerusalem who are poor.
27 Way jeclaysteen, waana ku waajib inay sameeyaan. Waayo, dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn hadday noqdeen kuwo ka qayb galay waxyaalahooda ruuxa, de markaas waxaa ku waajib ah iyaga inay ugu adeegaan waxyaalaha jidhka.
They themselves decided [to do this, but] truly they owe something to God’s people in Jerusalem. The non-Jewish [believers] benefited spiritually from Jewish [believers as a result of hearing the message about Christ from them], so the non-Jews should also help the Jewish believers [in Jerusalem by giving them] material things (OR, money) [EUP].
28 Sidaas daraaddeed markaan tan dhammeeyo oo aan iyaga midhahan ku hubsado, idinkaan idin soo mari doonaa, anoo Isbaanya u socda.
So when I have finished this [task] by safely delivering all this money [MET, EUP] [that the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have given], I will leave [Jerusalem and visit] you [in Rome while I am] on my way to Spain.
29 Oo waxaan ogahay markaan idiin imaado inaan ku iman doono buuxnaanta barakada Masiixa.
And I know that when I visit you, Christ will abundantly bless [us] (OR, enable [me] to bless [you]).
30 Walaalayaalow, waxaan idinku baryayaa Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix iyo jacaylka Ruuxa, inaad igula dadaashaan tukashooyinkiinna markaad Ilaah ii baridaan,
Because [we belong to] our Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit [of God causes us to] love [each other], I urge you [all] that [you help me] by fervently/intensely praying to God for me.
31 in layga samatabbixiyo kuwa caasiyiinta ah oo Yahuudiya jooga, iyo in hawshayda aan Yeruusaalem u qabanayo ay noqoto mid ay quduusiintu aqbalaan;
[Pray that] I will be protected {[that God] will protect me} so that the [Jews] in Judea who do not believe [the message about Christ will not harm me]. Also pray that God’s people in Jerusalem will accept the money [EUP] that I [take] to them.
32 inaan farxad idiinku imaado haddii Ilaah doonayo, oo aan idinla nasto.
Pray these things in order that I may go/come to you if God wants me to go/come, and that I may go/come joyfully, and that then God will refresh my [spirit as a result of my visiting/being] with you.
33 Ilaaha nabaddu ha idinla jiro kulligiin. Aamiin.
[I pray that] God, who [causes us to have inner] peace, will be with all of you [and will help] you. (May it be so!/Amen!)
