< 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.
Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses 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 each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
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 did not please himself. But, as it is written, "The insults of those who insult 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 before were written for our instruction, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we 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 of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with 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 with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Nítorí náà ẹ gba ara yín mọ́ra, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Kristi ti gbà wá mọ́ra fún ògo Ọlọ́run.
Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, 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 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 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 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 Ó sì tún wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin Kèfèrí, ẹ ma yọ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.”
Again he says, "Rejoice, you nations, with his people."
11 Àti pẹ̀lú, “Ẹyin Olúwa, gbogbo ẹ̀yin Kèfèrí; ẹ kọ orin ìyìn sí, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn gbogbo.”
Again, "Praise the Lord, all you nations. Let all the peoples praise him."
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.”
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 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 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 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.
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 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
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 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 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 Nítorí náà, mo ní ìṣògo nínú Kristi Jesu nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ mi fún Ọlọ́run.
I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining 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 things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the non-Jews, 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.
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 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.
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 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, "Those who were not told about him, they will see, and those who have not heard, they will understand."
22 Ìdí nìyìí tí ààyè fi há pẹ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ fún mi kí n tó tọ̀ yín wa.
Therefore also I was hindered these many times 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, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing 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 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 Ṣùgbọ́n ní báyìí, mo ń lọ sí Jerusalẹmu láti sé ìránṣẹ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ níbẹ̀.
But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving 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 been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who 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.
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 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 accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
29 Mo sì mọ̀ pé nígbà tí mo bá dé ọ̀dọ̀ yín, èmi yóò wà ní ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ìbùkún ìyìnrere Kristi.
I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing 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 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 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 those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to 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 in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
33 Kí Ọlọ́run àlàáfíà wà pẹ̀lú gbogbo yín. Àmín.
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
