Romans 15
1 Those of us who are spiritually strong ought to support those who are spiritually weak. We shouldn't just please ourselves.
Te dongah mamih tatthai rhoek loh, tattloel vawtthoek rhoek talong ham a kuek tih mamih kah kolo ham moenih.
2 We should all encourage others to do what's morally right, building them up.
Khat rhip loh mah kah imben te a then la hlinsainah neh a kolo sak saeh.
3 Christ didn't live to please himself, but as Scripture says of him, “The insults of those who abused you have fallen on me.”
Khrih long pataeng amah kolo ham a vai moenih. Tedae a daek tangtae vanbangla nang aka thuithet rhoek kah hnaelcoenah loh kai n'tlak thil.
4 These Scriptures were written down in the past to help us understand, and to encourage us so that we could wait patiently in hope.
Aka daek boeih long khaw mamih thuituennah ham ni a. daek. Te daengah man Cacim kah thaphohnah neh uehnah lamloh ngaiuepnah te n'khueh ve.
5 May the God who gives patience and encouragement help you to be in full agreement among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus,
Uehnah neh thaphohnah Pathen loh amah Khrih Jesuh bangla khat neh khat te poek sak ham ni nangmih m'paek.
6 so that you can with one mind and with one voice together glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Te daengah ni mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa neh Pathen te olka pakhat neh huek na thangpom uh eh.
7 So accept one another, just as Christ accepted you, and give God the glory.
Pathen kah thangpomnah ham tah Khrih loh nangmih n'doe van bangla khat neh khat doe uh thae.
8 I maintain that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show God tells the truth, keeping the promises he made to their forefathers.
Khrih he Pathen kah oltak yuengla yahvinrhetnah kah tueihyoeih la om ta, te nen te a pa rhoek kah olkhueh te a cak sak ta.
9 He also came that foreigners could praise God for his mercy, as Scripture says, “Therefore I will praise you among the foreigners; I will sing praises to your name.”
Namtom loh rhennah dongah Pathen te thangpom saeh. A daek vanbangla, namah te namtom taengah kan phong tangloeng van saeh lamtah na ming te ka hlai pai eh ka ti.
10 And also: “Foreigners, celebrate with his people!”
Te phoeiah namtom rhoek aw a pilnam te uum uh lah,” a ti bal.
11 And again: “All you foreigners, praise the Lord, let all peoples praise him.”
Te phoeiah namtom boeih aw Boeipa te thangthen uh. Pilnam loh amah te boeih koeh uh saeh koep a ti.
12 And again, Isaiah says, “Jesse's descendant will come to rule the nations, and foreigners will put their hope in him.”
Te phoeiah Isaiah loh, “Jesse kah a yung tah thoeng vetih namtom rhoek mawt hamla thoo ni. Anih te namtom rhoek loh a ngaiuep uh ni.
13 May the God of hope completely fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you will overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit!
Ngaiuepnah Pathen loh omngaihnah neh tangnah dongkah ngaimongnah cungkuem te nangmih ah soep sak saeh. Te te Mueihla Cim kah thaomnah lamloh ngaiuepnah dongah nangmih aka baecoih sak ham ni.
14 I'm convinced that you, my brothers and sisters, are full of goodness, and that you are filled with every kind of knowledge, so you are well able to teach one another.
Te dongah ka manuca rhoek, nangmih ham kai kamah long khaw nangmih te boethennah neh baetawt la na om uh, mingnah boeih na baetawt uh tih khat neh khat na rhalrhing sak thai tila ka ngaitang.
15 I've been blunt in the way I have written to you about some of these things, but this is just to remind you. For God gave me grace
Tedae cungvang ah kai he namtom rhoek taengah Jesuh Khrih kah bibikung la om ham Pathen lamloh kai m'paek lungvatnah dongah nangmih uento ham ni nangmih taegah rhep kan daek coeng.
16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the foreigners, like a priest sharing God's good news, so that they could become an acceptable offering, made holy by the Holy Spirit.
Pathen kah olthangthen te n'talong daengah ni Mueihla Cim loh a ciim tangtae namtom kah hmueih long khaw uem koi la a om eh.
17 So even though I have something to boast about because of my service for God,
Te dongah Jesuh Khrih ah Pathen ham ni hoemdamnah ka khueh.
18 (I wouldn't dare talk about any of this except as Christ has done it through me), I have led foreigners to obedience through my teaching and demonstration,
Olka neh khoboe dongah namtom kah olngainah ham akhaw Khrih loh a thoeng sak pawt te tah kai lamloh pakhat khaw thui hamla ka ngaingaih moenih.
19 through the power of signs and miracles done with the Holy Spirit's power. From Jerusalem all the way over to Illyricum, everywhere I've shared fully the good news of Christ.
Miknoek neh khobae rhambae kah thaomnah nen khaw, Pathen Mueihla kah thaomnah nen khaw. Te dongah ni kai loh Jerusalem lamkah Illyrikum taengvai duela Khrih kah olthangthen te ka baetawt sak.
20 In fact I was keen to spread the good news in places that hadn't heard the name of Christ, so that I wouldn't be building on what others have done.
Te dongah Khrih a phoei nah pawt ah khaw phong ham tlungmu tangloeng. Te daengah ni hlanglang kah khoengim te ka sak thil pawt eh.
21 As Scripture says, “Those who haven't been told the good news will discover him, and those who haven't heard will understand.”
Tedae a daek vanbangla, “Anih kawng aka doek pawt rhoek te a hmuh sak vetih aka ya pawt rhoek loh a hmuhming uh ni.
22 That's why I was prevented so many times from coming to see you.
Te dongah nangmih taengla lo taitu ham khaw bahoeng n'tomta coeng.
23 But now, as there's nowhere left here to work, and since I've looked forward to visiting you for many years,
Tedae he rhoek pingpang ah hmuen a om pawt bueng kolla nangmih taeng pha ham kum takuem caithilnah om coeng.
24 when I go to Spain I hope to see you when I pass through. Maybe you can give me some help for my journey once we've enjoyed some time together.
Saping la ka caeh vaengah tah nangmih hmuh ham ka pah ni tila ka ngaiuep. Nangmih loh nan thak tapkhoeh atah cungvang ah nangmih ah ka om te ka hah lamhma mai bitni.
25 At the moment I'm on my way to Jerusalem to help the believers there,
Tedae hlangcim rhoek te bongyong ham Jerusalem la ka cet pueng.
26 because the believers in Macedonia and Achaia thought it was a good idea to send a contribution to the poor among the believers in Jerusalem.
Makedonia neh Akhaia loh Jerusalem kah hlangcim khodaeng rhoek te bomnah bet saii pah ham a lungtlun uh.
27 They were happy to do this because they're in their debt. Now that foreigners are sharing their spiritual benefits, they owe it to the Jewish believers to help them in material things.
A lungtlun uh pai saeh amih kah laiba khaw om rhoe ta. Amih kah mueihla ben ah namtom loh a boek coeng atah pumsa ah amih te khaw bom ham a kuek ta.
28 So once I've done this, and have safely delivered this contribution to them, I'll visit you on my way to Spain.
Te dongah hekah he ka coeng tih a thaih he amih taengah kutnoek ka daeng sak. Nangmih taeng longah Saping la ka cet mai bitni.
29 I know that when I come, Christ will give us his full blessing.
Nangmih taengla ka pawk vaengah Khrih kah yoethennah cungkuem neh ka pawk ni tila ka ming.
30 I want to encourage you, my brothers and sisters through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join together in praying hard for me.
Manuca rhoek nangmih te mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamloh, mueihla kah lungnah dongah kan hloep coeng. Pathen taengah kai ham khaw thangthuinah neh kai tha n'huel puei uh.
31 Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea. Pray that my work in Jerusalem will be welcomed by the believers there.
Te daengah ni Judea te altha rhoek kut lamkah n'hlawt vetih, Jerusalem ham ka bibinah tah hlangcim rhoek taengah uemo koi la a om eh.
32 Pray that I will come to you with gladness, as God wills, so we can enjoy one another's company.
Te daengah ni nangmih taengah omngaihnah neh ha pawk vetih Pathen kah kongaih dongah nangmih ham ka mong eh.
33 May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Te dongah ngaimongnah Pathen tah nangmih taengah boeih om saeh. Amen.
