Romans 15

1 Àwa tí a jẹ́ alágbára nínú ìgbàgbọ́ yẹ kí ó máa ru ẹrù àìlera àwọn aláìlera, kí a má sì ṣe ohun tí ó wu ara wa.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 Olúkúlùkù wa gbọdọ̀ máa ṣe ohun tí ó wu ọmọnìkejì rẹ̀ sí rere, láti gbé e ró.

Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.

3 Nítorí Kristi pàápàá kò ṣe ohun tí ó wu ara rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé, “Ẹ̀gàn àwọn ẹni tí ń gàn ọ́ ṣubú lù mi.”

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me.

4 Nítorí ohun gbogbo tí a kọ tẹ́lẹ̀, ni a kọ láti fi kọ́ wa pé, nípa sùúrù àti ìtùnú ìwé mímọ́, kí àwa lè ní ìrètí.

For whatever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

5 Kí Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ń fún ni ní sùúrù àti ìtùnú fún yin láti ní inú kan sí ara yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí i Jesu Kristi,

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

6 kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè fi ọkàn kan àti ẹnu kan fi ògo fún Ọlọ́run, Baba Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.

That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Nítorí náà ẹ gba ara yín mọ́ra, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Kristi ti gbà wá mọ́ra fún ògo Ọlọ́run.

Why receive you one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

8 Mo sì wí pé, a rán Kristi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ìkọlà àwọn tí ṣe Júù nítorí òtítọ́ Ọlọ́run, láti fi ìdí àwọn ìlérí tí a ti ṣe fún àwọn baba múlẹ̀,

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

9 kí àwọn aláìkọlà kí ó lè yin Ọlọ́run lógo nítorí àánú rẹ̀; gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé: “Nítorí èyí ni èmi ó ṣe yìn ọ́ láàrín àwọn Kèfèrí, Èmi ó sì kọrin sí orúkọ rẹ.”

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.

10 Ó sì tún wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin Kèfèrí, ẹ ma yọ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.”

And again he says, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.

11 Àti pẹ̀lú, “Ẹyin Olúwa, gbogbo ẹ̀yin Kèfèrí; ẹ kọ orin ìyìn sí, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn gbogbo.”

And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; and laud him, all you people.

12 Isaiah sì tún wí pé, “Gbòǹgbò Jese kan ń bọ̀ wá, òun ni ẹni tí yóò dìde ṣe àkóso àwọn Kèfèrí; Àwọn Kèfèrí yóò ní ìrètí nínú rẹ̀.”

And again, Isaiah says, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

13 Ǹjẹ́ kí Ọlọ́run ìrètí kí ó fi gbogbo ayọ̀ òun àlàáfíà kún yín bí ẹ̀yin ti gbà á gbọ́, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè pọ̀ ní ìrètí nípa agbára Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.

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

14 Ẹ̀yin ará, èmi gan alára ti ní ìdánilójú, pé ẹ̀yin pàápàá kún fún oore, a sì fi gbogbo ìmọ̀ kún un yín, ẹ̀yin sì jáfáfá láti máa kọ́ ara yín.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

15 Síbẹ̀ mo ti fi ìgboyà kọ̀wé sí yín lórí àwọn kókó-ọ̀rọ̀ kan, bí ẹni ti ń rán yín létí àwọn kókó-ọ̀rọ̀ náà, nítorí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ tí a ti fi fún mi láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run

Nevertheless, brothers, I have written the more boldly to you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

16 láti jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ Kristi Jesu láàrín àwọn Kèfèrí láti polongo ìyìnrere Ọlọ́run gẹ́gẹ́ bí ojúṣe àlùfáà, kí àwọn Kèfèrí lè jẹ́ ẹbọ ọrẹ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà fún Ọlọ́run, èyí tí a ti fi Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ yà sí mímọ́.

That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

17 Nítorí náà, mo ní ìṣògo nínú Kristi Jesu nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ mi fún Ọlọ́run.

I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.

18 Èmi kò sá à gbọdọ̀ sọ ohun kan bí kò ṣe èyí tí Kristi ti ọwọ́ mi ṣe, ní títọ́ àwọn Kèfèrí ṣọ́nà láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run nípa ọ̀rọ̀ àti ìṣe mi,

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not worked by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

19 nípa agbára iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu, nípa agbára Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ láti Jerusalẹmu àti yíkákiri, àní títí fi dé Illirikoni, mo ti polongo ìyìnrere Kristi ní ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́.

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

20 Ó jẹ́ èrò mi ní gbogbo ìgbà láti wàásù ìyìnrere Kristi ní ibi gbogbo tí wọn kò tí ì mọ̀ ọ́n, kí èmi kí ó má ṣe máa mọ àmọlé lórí ìpìlẹ̀ ẹlòmíràn.

Yes, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation:

21 Ṣùgbọ́n, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé: “Àwọn ẹni tí a kò tí ì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ fún yóò rí i, àti àwọn tí kò tí ì gbọ́, òye yóò sì yé.”

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

22 Ìdí nìyìí tí ààyè fi há pẹ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ fún mi kí n tó tọ̀ yín wa.

For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

23 Ṣùgbọ́n báyìí tí kò tún sí ibòmíràn fún mi mọ́ láti ṣiṣẹ́ ní ẹkùn yìí, tí èmi sì ti ń pòǹgbẹ láti ọdún púpọ̀ sẹ́yìn láti bẹ́ yín wò,

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you;

24 mo gbèrò láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ nígbà tí mo bá lọ sí Spania. Èmi yóò rí i yín ní ọ̀nà àjò mi, àti pé ẹ ó mú mi já ọ̀nà níbẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ yín lọ, lẹ́yìn tí mo bá gbádùn ẹgbẹ́ yín fún ìgbà díẹ̀.

Whenever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

25 Ṣùgbọ́n ní báyìí, mo ń lọ sí Jerusalẹmu láti sé ìránṣẹ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ níbẹ̀.

But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

26 Nítorí pé ó wu àwọn tí ó wà ní Makedonia àti Akaia láti kó owó jọ fún àwọn tálákà tí ó wà ní àárín àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ ní Jerusalẹmu.

For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

27 Pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ ni wọ́n ń ṣe èyí, nítorí wọ́n gbà wí pé, wọ́n jẹ́ ajigbèsè fún wọn. Nítorí bí ó bá ṣe pé a fi àwọn Kèfèrí ṣe alájọni nínú ohun ẹ̀mí wọn, ajigbèsè sì ni wọn láti fi ohun ti ara ta wọ́n lọ́rẹ.

It has pleased them truly; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in carnal things.

28 Nítorí náà, nígbà tí mo bá ti ṣe èyí tán, tí mo bá sì di èdìdì èso náà fún wọn tán, èmi yóò ti ọ̀dọ̀ yín lọ sí Spania.

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

29 Mo sì mọ̀ pé nígbà tí mo bá dé ọ̀dọ̀ yín, èmi yóò wà ní ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ìbùkún ìyìnrere Kristi.

And I am sure that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30 Èmí rọ̀ yín, ẹ̀yin arákùnrin àti arábìnrin, nítorí Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi, àti nítorí ìfẹ́ Ẹ̀mí, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó kún mi láti bá mi làkàkà nínú àdúrà yín sí Ọlọ́run fún mi.

Now I beseech you, brothers, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

31 Kí a lè kó mi yọ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn aláìgbàgbọ́ ní Judea àti kí iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ tí mo ní sí Jerusalẹmu le jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ níbẹ̀,

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

32 kí èmi le fi ayọ̀ tọ̀ yín wa, nípa ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, àti kí èmi lè ní ìtura pọ̀ pẹ̀lú yín.

That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

33 Kí Ọlọ́run àlàáfíà wà pẹ̀lú gbogbo yín. Àmín.

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