Romafoɔ 15

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

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

2 Yɛn mu biara nkamfo adepa biara ne yɔnko yɛ, mfa nhyɛ no den.

Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

3 Kristo mpo anyɛ deɛ ɔpɛ, sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm ka sɛ, “Nnipa a wɔbɔ mo ahohora no bɔ me ahohora nso.”

For even Christ did not please himself. But, as it is written, "The insults of those who insult you fell on me."

4 Biribiara a wɔatwerɛ wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu no, wɔatwerɛ de kyerɛkyerɛ yɛn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, yɛnam boasetɔ, nkuranhyɛ a Kristo Atwerɛsɛm no de ma yɛn no so bɛnya anidasoɔ.

For whatever things were written before were written for our instruction, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

5 Onyankopɔn a yɛnya boasetɔ ne nkuranhyɛ firi ne nkyɛn no, mma mo honhom mu nkabom na mode adi Kristo Yesu akyi,

Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,

6 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mo nyinaa de akoma korɔ ne ano korɔ bɛkamfo Onyankopɔn, yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no.

that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Momma mo ho nka mo ho mo ho mfa nhyɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam sɛdeɛ Kristo agye mo no.

Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.

8 Ɛfiri sɛ, meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, Kristo Yesu bɛyɛɛ Yudafoɔ ɔsomfoɔ de kyerɛɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔnokwafoɔ a ɔbɛma ne bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ agyanom no aba mu,

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

9 na wama amanamanmufoɔ nso akamfo no wɔ ne mmɔborɔhunu ho, sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Yei enti, mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanamanmufoɔ mu; na mato nnwom akamfo wo din.”

and that the non-Jews might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "therefore I will give praise to you among the non-Jews, and sing to your name."

10 Na ɛka bio sɛ, “Mo amanamanmufoɔ, monkamfo Awurade, mo ne ne nkurɔfoɔ, Yudafoɔ.”

Again he says, "Rejoice, you nations, with his people."

11 Na bio, “Amanamanmufoɔ nyinaa nyi Awurade ayɛ; asase so aman nyinaa monkamfo no.”

Again, "Praise the Lord, all you nations. Let all the peoples praise him."

12 Na bio Yesaia ka sɛ, “Yisai aseni bɛsɔre, deɛ ɔbɛsɔre abɛdi amanaman no so; ɔno na wɔn ani bɛda ne so.”

Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the peoples; in him will the nations hope."

13 Anidasoɔ Onyankopɔn no a mogye no die no mfa anigyeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ nhyɛ mo ma, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Honhom Kronkron tumi no bɛma mo anidasoɔ mmorosoɔ.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

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

I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

15 Mede akokoɔduru atwerɛ abobɔ nneɛma bi so, sɛdeɛ meretwe mo adwene akɔ so bio, ɛsiane adom bi a Onyankopɔn de adom me no enti.

But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

16 Meyɛ Kristo Yesu ɔsomfoɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ asɔfodwuma a mepae mu ka Onyankopɔn Asɛmpa no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, amanamanmufoɔ bɛyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani a Honhom Kronkron no ate ho.

that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the non-Jews, serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering up of the non-Jews might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Ɛno enti, metumi hoahoa me ho wɔ Kristo Yesu mu wɔ Onyankopɔn som yi mu.

I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

18 Deɛ mɛka ho asɛm ara ne sɛdeɛ Kristo nam deɛ maka ne deɛ mayɛ so ama amanamanmufoɔ ayɛ ɔsetie ama Onyankopɔn.

For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the non-Jews, by word and deed,

19 Saa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne anwanwadeɛ yi yɛ tumi a ɛfiri Honhom no mu. Enti, ɛfiri Yerusalem kɔka Iliriko, mapae mu aka Kristo Asɛmpa no nyinaa.

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ.

20 Na me botaeɛ ne sɛ, daa mɛka asɛmpa no wɔ mmeammea a wɔntee Kristo ho asɛm da no, na ankɔyɛ sɛ mesii dan wɔ obi fapem so.

And in this way I desire to preach the Good News where Christ was not known, that I might not build on another's foundation.

21 Mmom sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ no: “Wɔn a wɔnkaa ne ho asɛm nkyerɛɛ wɔn no bɛhunu, na wɔn a wɔnteeɛ no nso bɛte aseɛ.”

But, as it is written, "Those who were not told about him, they will see, and those who have not heard, they will understand."

22 Yei enti na ɛberɛ biara a mepɛ sɛ meba mo nkyɛn no, biribi si me ɛkwan.

Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,

23 Nanso, seesei a mawie mʼadwuma wɔ saa amantam yi mu, na afei mfeɛ bebree ni a mepɛɛ sɛ anka mɛba abɛhunu mo no enti,

but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

24 mayɛ mʼadwene sɛ mɛkɔ Spania. Sɛ merekɔ a, mɛpɛ sɛ mɛhunu mo na moaboa me ama makɔ hɔ ɛberɛ a me ne mo atena anigyeɛ so kakra bi no.

whenever I journey to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

25 Seesei ara, merekɔ Yerusalem makɔsom Onyankopɔn manfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no.

But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

26 Ɛfiri sɛ, asafo a ɛwɔ Makedonia ne Akaia no asi wɔn adwene pi sɛ wɔbɛboa ahiafoɔ a wɔfra Onyankopɔn manfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no mu.

For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.

27 Wɔn ara na wɔsii wɔn adwene pi saa, nanso nokorɛm, ɛyɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ sɛ wɔboa saa ahiafoɔ no. Amanamanmufoɔ no nyaa Yudafoɔ honhom no mu nhyira no bi. Ɛno enti na ɛsɛ sɛ amanamanmufoɔ no de wɔn ahodeɛ som Yudafoɔ no.

Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the non-Jewish people have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.

28 Sɛ mewie saa dwumadie yi na mekɔ wɔn nkyɛn na mede sika a wɔapɛ no nyinaa ma wɔn a, mɛfiri hɔ akɔ Spania. Na sɛ merekɔ a, mɛduru mo hɔ mabɛsra mo.

When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

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

I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of 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 mpaeɛ denden mma me.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, 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 Mommɔ mpaeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, asɛm bi rento me wɔ Yudea. Mommɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn a wɔnnye asɛm no nni. Afei nso, mommɔ mpaeɛ mma me som a mɛsom wɔ Yerusalem no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ahotefoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no bɛgye atom.

that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

32 Sɛ ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ a, mede ahosɛpɛ bɛba mo nkyɛn mabɛsra mo.

that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.

33 Asomdwoeɛ Onyankopɔn no ne mo nyinaa ntena. Amen.

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