Romans 15

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

Le fa re dumela gore ga go dire pha rologanyo epe mo Moreneng fa re dira dilo tse, le fa go ntse jalo ga re na go tswelela pele re dira re iitumedisa; gonne re tshwanetse go rwala “mokgweleo” wa go akanyetsa dipelaelo le dipoifo tsa ba bangwe, tsa ba ba bonang gore dilo tse ga di a siama. A re itumediseng yo mongwe, e seng rona, re bo re dire se se tshwanetseng tshiamo ya gagwe gore re mo age mo Moreneng.

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

3 For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

Keresete ga a ise a ke a iitumedise. Jaaka Mopesalema a rile, “O tletse one maikaelelo a go bogisiwa ke matlhapa a ba ba kgatlhanong le Morena.”

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

Dilo tse, tse di neng di kwadilwe mo Dikwalong bogologolo di tshwanetse go re ruta bopelo-telele le go re kgothatsa, gore re tle re tlhome mogopolo kwa pele re solofetse nako ya fa Modimo o tlaa bong o fenya sebe le loso.

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

A Modimo o o nayang bopelotelele, boiketlo, le kgothatso o lo thuse gore lo tshedisanye ka kutlwano, mongwe le mongwe mo go yo mongwe ka mokgwa wa ga Keresete.

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

Ke gone rotlhe re ka galaletsang Morena mmogo ka lentswe le le lengwe fela, re galaletsa Modimo, Rara wa Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.

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

Jalo he, amogelanang ka boitumelo mo phuthegong, fela jaaka Keresete a lo amogetse ka boitumelo; ke gone Modimo o tlaa galalediwang.

8 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,

Gakologelwang gore Jesu Keresete o tletse go supa gore Modimo o boammaaruri mo ditsholofe-tsong tsa one le go thusa Bajuta.

9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”

Gape gakologe-lwang gore o tletse le gore Badichaba ba bolokwe mme ba galaletse Modimo ka ntlha ya kutlwelo botlhoko ya one mo go bone. Ke sone se Mopesalema a neng a se raya fa a kwala a re, “Ke tlaa go galaletsa mo go Badichaba, ke bo ke baka leina la gago.”

10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”

Mme o buile mo felong gongwe a re, “Itumeleng, lona Badichaba, mmogo le batho ba one Bajuta.”

11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”

Mme gape a re, “Galaletsang Morena, lona Badichaba, a mongwe le mongwe a mo galaletse.”

12 Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”

Le moporofiti Isaia o rile, “go tlaa nna morua-boswa mo lotsong lwa ga Jesu, mme o tlaa nna Kgosi ya Badichaba; ba tlaa solofela mo go ene a le nosi.”

13 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.

Jalo ke a lo rapelela Badichaba gore Modimo o o lo nayang tsholofelo o tle o lo itumedise o lo tlatse ka kagiso fa lo ntse lo dumela mo go one. Ke rapela gore Modimo o lo thuse gore lo tlale tsholofelo mo go one ka nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo mo go lona.

14 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.

Ke itse gore lo botlhale ebile lo molemo, bagaetsho, le gore lo itse dilo tse sentle thata mo e leng gore lo kgona go ruta bangwe ka ga tsone.

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

Mme fela jalo ke ntse ke na le bosena-poifo go gatelela mangwe a mabaka a, ke itse gore gotlhe mo lo go tlhokang ke yone kgakololo e, e e tswang mo go nna; gonne ka ntlha ya tshegofatso ya Modimo ke morongwa wa botlhokwa go tswa mo go Jesu Keresete go ya kwa go lona Badichaba, ke lo leretse Mafoko a a Molemo ebile ke lo ntsha jaaka setlhabelo se se lebosegang mo Modimong; gonne lo ntlafaditswe lwa ba lwa dirwa go mo itumedisa ka Mowa O O Boitshepo.

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

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

Jalo go ntshiametse go ipelafatsa go le gonnye kaga se Keresete Jesu o se dirileng ka nna.

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

Ke na le poifo go bua sentle thata ka fa a dirisitseng ba bangwe ka teng, mme legale ke itse se fela; o ntirisitse go gapela Badichaba mo Modimong.

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

Ke ba gapile ka molaetsa wa me le ka tsela e e molemo e ke neng ke itshotse mo go bone ka yone, le ka dikgakgamatso tse di dirilweng ka nna e le ditshupo tse di tswang kwa Modimong, tsotlhe fela e le ka nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo. Ka yone tsela e, ke rerile mafoko a a Molemo a a tletseng a ga Keresete mo tseleng yotlhe go tsweng kwa Jerusalema go fitlha kwa Ilirikama.

20 yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.

Mme legale mo lobakeng lo lotlhe, maikaelelo a me e ntse e le go re ke fetele kwa pele, ke rere kwa leina la ga Keresete le iseng le ke le utlwale teng, go na le go rera kwa phuthego e setseng e simolotswe ke mongwe teng.

21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”

Ke ntse ke setse morago leano la ga Keresete le le buiwang mo dikwalong mo Isaia a reng, “Ba ba iseng ba ke ba bo ba utlwe kaga leina la ga Keresete pele ba tlaa bona ebile ba tlaa tlhaloganya.”

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

Tota, leo ke lone lebaka le ke ntseng ke sa lo etele ka lone.

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

Mme legale jaanong ke feditse tiro ya me fano, ke setse ke siametse go tla jaanong morago ga dingwaga tse tsotlhe tsa tetelo.

24 whenever I travel 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.

Gonne ke ikaelela go ya kwa Sepaina, mme fa ke ya teng, ke tlaa ema mo Roma; mme fa re sena go nna mmogo ka lobakanyana ke gone lo ka ntetlelelang go tswelela pele le mosepele wa me.

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

Mme pele ga ke tla koo, ke tshwanetse go fologela kwa Jerusalema ke isa mpho kwa Bakereseteng ba teng ba Sejuta.

26 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.

Gonne lo bona gore Bakeresete ba Masedonia le Akaia ba ntsheditse Bakeresete ba Jerusalema ba ba mo mathateng mpho.

27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.

Ba ne ba itumela thata go dira jaana, gonne ba ne ba ikutlwa gore ba kolota Bakeresete ba Jerusalema. Ka go reng? Gonne dikgang kaga Keresete di tsile kwa go bone di tswa kwa phuthegong e e mo Jerusalema. Mme ka ba amogetse neo e ntle e ya semowa ya Mafoko a a Molemo mo go bone, ba bona gore bonnyennyane jo le bone ba ka bo ba direlang ke go ba fa thuso ya tse di tlhokwang ke nama.

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

E tlaa re fela ke sena go gorosa madi a, le go fetsa tiro e ya bone e e molemo, ke tlaa tla go lo bona ke le mo tseleng ya me ya go ya Sepaina.

29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

Mme ke tlhomamisa gore e tlaa re fa ke tla, ke lo tlele lesego le legolo le le tswang mo Moreneng.

30 Now I beg 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,

A lo tlaa nna barapedi mmogo le nna? Ka ntlha ya Morena Jesu Keresete, le ka ntlha ya ka fa lo nang le lorato mo go nna ka teng, lo lo lo neetsweng ke Mowa O O Boitshepo, nthapedisang thata mo tirong ya me.

31 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,

Rapelelang gore ke sirelediwe mo Jerusalema mo go ba e seng Bakeresete. Rapelelang gape gore Bakeresete ba teng ba itumelele go amogela madi a ke a isang kwa go bone.

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

Mme ke tlaa kgona go tla kwa go lona ka pelo e e itumetseng ka go rata ga Modimo, mme ke gone re tlaa ikhutsang mmogo.

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

Mme ke gone a Modimo wa rona, o o re nayang kagiso, o nne le lona lotlhe. Amen.
