Romans 15
1 We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

2 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

3 For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”
ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏩᏒᏉ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏰᎸᏗ ᏱᎾᏛᏁᎮᎢ; ᎯᎠᏍᎩᏂ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ [ ᏄᎵᏍᏓᏁᎴᎢ, ] ᎦᎬᏩᎾᏓᏐᏢᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎦᎨᏣᏐᏢᏔᏅᎢ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᎷᏤᎸᎩ.
4 For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

5 Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎬᏂᏗᏳ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎢᏯᏓᏛᏁᎯ ᎢᏥᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏥᏌ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᎢ;
6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.

8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,
ᎠᎴ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏥᏪᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏗᎨᏥᎤᏍᏕᏎᎸᎯ ᎤᏂᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅᎩ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏩᏁᏗᏱ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᏧᏍᏓᏱᏗᏍᏗᏱ ᎨᏥᏚᎢᏍᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏂᎦᏴᎵᎨᎢ.
9 so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎤᏂᎸᏉᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏓᎬᏁᎢᏍᏔᏂ ᎠᏁᎲ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ, ᎠᎴ ᏙᏓᏥᏃᎩᏍᏔᏂ ᏕᏣᏙᎥᎢ.
10 Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
ᏔᎵᏁᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏪᎭ, ᎢᏣᎵᎮᎵᎩ ᏗᏣᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ, ᏗᏣᎵᎪᎲᏏ ᏧᏤᎵ ᏴᏫ.
11 And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol Him, all you peoples.”
ᏔᎵᏁᏃ, ᎡᏥᎸᏉᏓ ᏱᎰᏩ, ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏗᏣᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ; ᎠᎴ ᎡᏥᎸᏉᏓ, ᏂᏥᎥᏉ ᏴᏫ.
12 And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
ᏔᎵᏁᏃ ᎢᏌᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏪᎭ; ᎤᎿᎭᏍᏕᏢ ᎦᎾᏄᎪᎨᏍᏗ ᏤᏏᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏏᏴᏫ ᏙᏛᎴᏂ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᏌᏕᎩ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎠᏁᎲᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᏓᎬᏩᎵᏍᎦᏍᏙᏔᏂ.
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎬᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏓᏁᎯ ᎢᏥᎧᎵᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏅᏩᏙᎯᏯᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏔᏅᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎢᏨᏒᎢ, ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏂᎬᎬ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ.
14 I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

15 However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᏂᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬᎾ ᏫᏨᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᎢᏨᏯᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎩᏁᎸ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ,
16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᎩᎭ ᎠᏆᏢᏉᏙᏗ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎨᏒᎢ.
18 I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏰᎵ ᏴᎦᏥᏁᎢᏍᏓ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏄᏛᏁᎸᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏴ ᎠᏋᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎬᏩᏃᎯᏳᏗ ᏂᏕᎬᏁᎲᎢ, ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎠᎴ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
19 by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
[ ᎠᎴ ] ᎬᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏰᎸᏛᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏗᏍᎬᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᎷᏏᎵᎻ ᎤᏓᎴᏅᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏚᏫᏛ ᎢᎵᎵᎦᎻ ᏩᏍᏗ, ᎤᎧᎵᏨᎯ ᎠᏆᎵᏥᏙᏅ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ;
20 In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏄᏍᏛᎩ ᎠᏆᏟᏂᎬᏁᎸᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎠᏆᎵᏥᏙᏗᏱ, ᎥᏝ ᎾᎿᎭᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏥᏁᎢᏍᏔᏅᎢ, ᎩᎶ ᎤᏅᎯ ᎦᎫᏍᏛᏗ ᎠᏆᏁᏍᎨᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ;
21 Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

22 That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎠᎩᏲᏍᏙᏓᏏ ᏫᏨᎷᏤᏗᏱ;
23 But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,
ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎢᎸᎯᏢ ᏄᏜᏓᏅᏛᎾ ᏥᎩ ᎠᏂ ᎤᏚᏫᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎸᏍᎩ ᎾᏕᏘᏴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏥᏅᏆᏚᎵᏍᎪ ᏫᏨᎷᏤᏗᏱ;
24 I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.

25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏥᎩ ᎠᏇᏏᏗ ᏥᎷᏏᎵᎻ ᎦᏥᏍᏕᎸᎯ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ.
26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.
ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᏅ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏩᏂᏚᎦ. ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎤᏁᎳᏗᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎾᏤᎵ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏄᎾᎵᏍᏓᏁᎲᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏂᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎤᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ.
28 So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.

30 Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
