Romafo 15

1 Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn a yɛyɛ den wɔ gyidi mu no tumi te wɔn a wɔyɛ mmerɛw no sintɔ ase. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsɔ wɔn ani na yɛansɔ yɛn ara ani.

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

2 Yɛn mu biara nkamfo ade pa biara a ne yɔnko yɛ mfa nhyɛ no den.

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

3 Kristo mpo anyɛ nea ɔpɛ, sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm ka se, “Nnipa a wɔbɔ mo ahohora no bɔ me ahohora nso.”

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

4 Biribiara a wɔakyerɛw wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu no, wɔakyerɛw de kyerɛkyerɛ yɛn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛnam boasetɔ, nkuranhyɛ a Kristo Kyerɛwsɛm no de ma yɛn no so benya anidaso.

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 Onyankopɔn a yenya boasetɔ ne nkuranhyɛ fi ne nkyɛn no mma mo honhom mu nkabom na mode adi Kristo Yesu akyi,

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 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo nyinaa de koma koro ne ano koro bɛkamfo Onyankopɔn, yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no.

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

7 Munnyigye mo ho mo ho nto mu mfa nkamfo Onyankopɔn sɛnea Kristo agye mo no.

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

8 Efisɛ meka kyerɛɛ mo se Kristo Yesu bɛyɛɛ Yudafo somfo de kyerɛɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔnokwafo a ɔbɛma ne bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ agyanom no aba mu,

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 wama amanamanmufo nso akamfo no wɔ ne mmɔborɔhunu ho sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Eyi nti mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanamanmufo mu; na mato nnwom akamfo wo din.”

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 Na ɛka bio se, “Mo amanamanmufo, monkamfo Awurade, mo ne ne nkurɔfo Yudafo.”

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

11 Bio, “Amanamanmufo nyinaa nyi Awurade ayɛ; asase so aman nyinaa monkamfo no.”

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

12 Na Yesaia ka bio se, “Yisai aseni bɛsɔre, nea ɔbɛsɔre abedi amanaman no so; ɔno na wɔn ani bɛda ne so.”

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 Anidaso Nyankopɔn no a mugye no di no mfa anigye ne asomdwoe nhyɛ mo ma, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Honhom Kronkron tumi no bɛma mo anidaso mmoroso.

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 Me nuanom, mʼankasa mete nka sɛ papayɛ ahyɛ mo ma, mowɔ nimdeɛ na mubetumi akyerɛkyerɛ mo ho mo ho.

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 Mede akokoduru akyerɛw abobɔ nneɛma bi so, sɛnea meretwe mo adwene akɔ so bio, esiane adom bi a Onyankopɔn de adom me no nti.

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 Meyɛ Kristo Yesu somfo a ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ asɔfodwuma a mepae mu ka Onyankopɔn Asɛmpa no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a amanamanmufo bɛyɛ afɔrebɔde a ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani a Honhom Kronkron no atew ho.

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 Ɛno nti mitumi hoahoa me ho wɔ Kristo Yesu mu wɔ Onyankopɔn som yi mu.

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

18 Nea mɛka ho asɛm ara ne sɛnea Kristo nam nea maka ne nea mayɛ so ama amanamanmufo ayɛ osetie ama Onyankopɔn no.

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 Saa nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade yi yɛ tumi a efi Honhom no mu. Enti efi Yerusalem de kosi Iliriko no, mapae mu aka Kristo Asɛmpa no nyinaa.

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 Na me botae ne sɛ, daa mɛka asɛmpa no wɔ mmeaemmeae a wɔntee Kristo ho asɛm da no, na ankɔyɛ sɛ misii dan wɔ obi fapem so.

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 Mmom sɛnea wɔakyerɛw no: “Wɔn a wɔnkaa ne ho asɛm nkyerɛɛ wɔn no behu, na wɔn a wɔntee no nso bɛte ase.”

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

22 Eyi nti na bere biara a mepɛ sɛ meba mo nkyɛn no, biribi siw me kwan.

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

23 Nanso mprempren a mawie mʼadwuma wɔ saa amantam yi mu, na afei mfe bebree ni a mepɛɛ sɛ anka mɛba abehu mo no nti,

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

24 mayɛ mʼadwene sɛ mɛkɔ Spania. Sɛ merekɔ a, mɛpɛ sɛ mehu mo na moaboa me ama makɔ hɔ bere a me ne mo atena anigye so kakraa bi no.

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 Mprempren ara, merekɔ Yerusalem akɔsom Onyankopɔn manfo a wɔwɔ hɔ no.

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

26 Efisɛ asafo a ɛwɔ Makedonia ne Akaia no asi wɔn adwene pi sɛ wɔbɛboa ahiafo a wɔfra Onyankopɔn manfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no mu.

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

27 Wɔn ara na wosii wɔn adwene pi saa, nanso nokware ni, ɛyɛ wɔn asɛde sɛ wɔboa saa ahiafo no. Amanamanmufo no nyaa Yudafo honhom no mu nhyira no bi. Ɛno nti na ɛsɛ sɛ amanamanmufo no de wɔn ahode som Yudafo no.

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 Sɛ miwie saa dwumadi yi na mekɔ wɔn nkyɛn na mede sika a wɔapɛ no nyinaa ma wɔn a, mefi hɔ akɔ Spania. Na sɛ merekɔ a mɛba mo hɔ abɛsra mo.

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

29 Sɛ meba mo nkyɛn a, minim sɛ mede Kristo nhyira a ɛboro so no bɛba.

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 Anuanom, menam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo ne ɔdɔ a Honhom no de ma me no so hyɛ mo sɛ mo ne me mmɔ mu mmɔ Onyankopɔn mpae dennen mma me.

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 Mommɔ mpae, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a asɛm bi rento me wɔ Yudea. Mommɔ mpae mma wɔn a wonnye asɛm no nni. Afei nso mommɔ mpae mma me som a mɛsom wɔ Yerusalem no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ahotefo a wɔwɔ hɔ no begye ato mu.

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 Sɛ ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ a mede ahosɛpɛw bɛba mo nkyɛn abɛsra mo.

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

33 Asomdwoe Nyankopɔn no ne mo nyinaa ntena. Amen.

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