Maroma 15

1 Linu kwetu tukolete tu swanela ku kutusa bufokoli bu ba fokola, imi ni kusa litabisa tubene.

Now we who are strong ought to bear with the weaknesses of those who are without strength; we ought not to please ourselves.

2 Tusiye zumwi ni zumwi kwetu atabise ya bambene naye kwezina zi lotu, ili kuti a zakwe naye.

Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

3 Mi ni heiba Kirisite kena abali tabisi mwine. Nihakubulyo, ibena bo bulyo sina mukuñolelwe, “Matapa abo ba bamituki aba wili hangu.”

For even Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached yoʋ fell on me.”

4 Kakuti zonse zi bañoletwe ku masule ziba ñolwa che intaelo zetu, ili kuti che inkulonde ni che insusuwezo ya mañolo tube ni insepo.

For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

5 Linu Ireeza we inkulonde ni insusuwezo a mihe mizezo iswana kuzwilila kwa Jesu Kirisite.

Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to have the same mind toward one another, following the example of Christ Jesus,

6 A pange bulyo ili kuti cha muzezo umwina ni mulomo umwina mutembe Ireeza ni Isi wa Simwine wetu Jesu Kirisite.

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

7 Kuzwaho mutambule zumwi ni zumwi sina Kirisite mwa ba mitambwili, chentumbo ya Ireeza.

Therefore receive one another, just as Christ has received you, to the glory of God.

8 Chingi ni wamba bulyo Kirisite abapangwa buhikana bwa mupato kwi neku lyo buniti bwa Ireeza, cha kwi zuzikiza insepiso zi bahewa ku bazazi,

Now I say that Christ Jesus has become a servant to the circumcised on behalf of the truth of God in order to confirm the promises that were made to the fathers,

9 mi ku Basikunze ni kuha ikanya kwa Ireeza cha chishemo chakwe. Kwina bulyo sina mu kuñolelwe, “Kuzwaho kanihe ikanya mukati ka Basikunze ni kuzimba intumbo che zina lyako.”

so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will confess yoʋ among the Gentiles; I will sing praise to yoʋr name.”

10 Hape iti, “Musange, inwe mu Basikunze, ni bantu bakwe.”

And again it says, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”

11 Mi hape, “Mutembe Simwine, mubose Basikunze; musiye bantu bonse ba mutembe.”

And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol him, all you peoples.”

12 Hape, Isaya uti, “Kakube ni muhisi wa Jese, mi iye yesa buke ku yendisa hewulu li Basikunze. Basikunze ka babe ni insepo mwali.”

And again, Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will appear, he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”

13 Linu Ireeza we insepo amizuze kusanga ni inkozo yonse cha ku zumina, ili kuti mube ni ku kwatinsana munsepo, cha ziho zo Luhuho Lujolola.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 Name ni mwine ni zuwisisa chenu, ba mwangu. Ni zuwisisa kuti nanwe bulyo mwi zwile bulotu, kwizula inzibo yonse. Ni zuwisisa kuti nanwe bulyo muwola kuli nyemuna zumwi ni zumwi.

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

15 Kono ni miñolela cha bundume bungi kwenu cha zintu zimwi ili ku mihupulisa hape, chebaka lye mpo ibahewa ime cha Ireeza.

But I have written to you rather boldly in part, brothers, by way of reminder, because of the grace that was given to me by God

16 Iyi mpo ibali kuti ni swanela ku ba ni muhikana wa Jesu Kirisite yo tumitwe ku Basikunze, kuha sina mupurisita ivangeli ya Ireeza. Ni swanela kutenda bulyo ili kuti inubu i Basikunze pona chi itambulwa, ku jolozwa cha Luhuho Lujolola.

to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Imi kusanga kwangu kwina mwa Jesu Kirisite ni muzintu za Ireeza.

Therefore I have a reason for boasting in Christ Jesus in my service to God.

18 Njikuti kese ni wambe chimwi kwande yecho Kirisite cha ba maniselezi kuzwa kwangu cha ku kuteka ku Basikunze. Izi zintu zitendwa cha linzwii ni mutendo,

For I will not dare to speak of anything other than what Christ has accomplished through me to bring about the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

19 cha ziho za zisupo ni zikomokisa, ni cha ziho za Luhuho Lujolola. Ichi chi bapangahali bulyo kuti kuzwa mwa Jerusalema, mi ni kuzimbuluka umo mane ku kasika kwa Iliriko, ili kuti niwole kutwala linzwi lya Kirisite cho kwizula.

by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

20 Che iyi nzila, intakazo yangu ibali ya kuwamba ivangeli, kono isiñi kwe zibitwe Kirisite chezina, ili kuti kanzi ni zaki hewulu lya mutomo wa zumwi muntu.

And in this way I aspire to preach the gospel where the name of Christ has not been heard, so that I do not build upon another's foundation,

21 Mukwikalile sina mu kuñolwe: “Abo kubali basena ba ba wambilwe zakwe mwize mu mubone, mi nabo basena ba bazuwi kaba zuwe.”

but as it is written, “Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

22 Kuzwaho ni ba kaniswa tungi kukwiza kwenu.

That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

23 Kono hanu, ka nisina chibaka mwezi zikiliti, mi ni ba lyolelwe cha zillimo zingi kwiza kwenu.

But now, since I no longer have a place in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,

24 Monse muniyendela kwa Sipeini, ni sepa ku mibona ha nihita, mi ni ku nisindikizwa munzila chenu, hani mana ku likola kuli kopanya nanwe che nako zana.

I will come to you when I go to Spain. For I hope to see you when I pass through, and to have you send me on my way there, once I have first enjoyed your company for a while.

25 Kono hanu ni kaya kwa Jerusalema kuka tendela ba zumine.

But now I am going to Jerusalem to serve the saints.

26 Sina hakubali kulotu ku tabisa kwa Masedonia ni Akaya kuha chimwi ku basena mukati ka bazumine mwa Jerusalema.

For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

27 Eee, ku bali kutabiswa kwabo, imi, luli, cho kuti ba bali ku bakolota. Mi heiba Basikunze ba bali abeli muzintu zabo za luhuho, ba bakolota nabo cha ku batenda muzintu zi boneka.

They were pleased to do so, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in the spiritual blessings of the Jews, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.

28 Kuzwaho, ha ni mana uwu mutendo ni ku bona kuti batambula zonse zi baletwa, ka ni yende kwa Sipeini ni ku mipotela hani hita.

So when I have finished this task and have sealed to them this fruit, I will set out for Spain and visit you on the way.

29 Nizi kuti ha nikeza kwenu kani ni ze mu kwizula che mbuyoti ya Kirisite

And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30 Hanu ni mi susuweza, ba mwangu, cha Simwine wetu Jesu Kirisite, imi ni chelato lya Luhuho, kuti mulike hahulu mubonse name mwi intampelo kwa Ireeza changu.

Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf.

31 Mulapele kuti ni bukelezwe kwa bana basa kuteki mwa Judea, ili kuti kutenda kwangu mwa Jerusalema ku tambulwe ku bazumine.

Pray that I may be rescued from those in Judea who refuse to believe and that my ministry to Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

32 Mulapele kuti ni ze kwenu che intabo che intato ya Ireeza, ili kuti Ime, hamwina nanwe, ni wane impumulo.

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

33 Mi Ireeza we inkozo abe nanwe mubonse. Amen.

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