Romans 15
1 Those of us who are spiritually strong ought to support those who are spiritually weak. We shouldn't just please ourselves.
O Rangte damdi seng tuungmaang ah rongtangtang angli loong ah ih, larooklata ih tongla loong ah neng huijih ah roong huitheng. Seng teeteewah laroon theng.
2 We should all encourage others to do what's morally right, building them up.
Erah nang ih bah, hanpiite wahoh loong ah ese raang ih eroon et thuktheng tumeah neng tuungmaang ah rongtangtang toom ang ah.
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.”
Kristo ih botseh heh teewah taroon thukta. Erah nang ih bah, Rangteele ni amet raangha, “O ih sen kaanju halan, erah kaanju ah nga sak ni dat hala.”
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.
Rangteele ni jaatrep ah seng suh nyootsoot suh raangthiinta, seng loong ah roonsiit mui nyia naan mui ju eh ih seng laalom Rangteele ni raangha likhiik ah angsuh ah.
5 May the God who gives patience and encouragement help you to be in full agreement among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus,
Eno enaan jen etheng nyia eroonsiit mui theng chaan kotte Rangte ih, sen suh erah chaan ah sen chamchi nah toom kohan, Jisu Kristo ih enyootsoot etheng reeta loong ah phan anno ah.
6 so that you can with one mind and with one voice together glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo Wah ah sen eroom ih jengsiit kongsiit nawa ih toom phoongpha an suh ah.
7 So accept one another, just as Christ accepted you, and give God the glory.
Erah raangtaan ih, Rangte men raksiit suh Kristo ih sen kap tahan a likhiik sen chamchi nah uh emamah ih tongtha an.
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.
Ngah ih baat rumhala, Kristo roidong dowa mookaat Jehudi loong raang ih angta erah langla nengte nengwah suh kakhamta ah amiisak angkah ih Rangte ah tuungmaang theng ih noisokta,
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.”
nyia Ranglajatte loong eh uh Rangte minchan ah toom mi phoongpha rum ah. Rangteele ni raangha jun ih ah, “Eno erah raang ih Ranglajatte loong dung nah ngah ih phoongpha ha; ngah ih an rang phoongpha boongkaat boong koha.”
10 And also: “Foreigners, celebrate with his people!”
Amah nep et liiha, “Ranglajatte loong, Rangte mina damdoh tenroon ang an!”
11 And again: “All you foreigners, praise the Lord, let all peoples praise him.”
Eno amah nep we liiha, “Teesu phoong an, Ranglajatte loongtang ih; Warep mina ih heh phoongpha an!”
12 And again, Isaiah says, “Jesse's descendant will come to rule the nations, and foreigners will put their hope in him.”
Isaia ih we liita, Jiisi sutoom ah dong raaha; “Ranglajatte loong ah pansuh raaha, eno neng ih heh suh laalom rum ah.”
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!
Laalom kotte Rangte ih, sen tuungmaang jun ih sen loong ah tenroon nyia semroongroong toom ang thuk han, tumeah sen laalom ah Esa Chiiala nawa ih ehak toom etthuk ah.
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.
Ngaaphoh ngaano loong: nga teewah ih jat angdi sen mongtham nyia esiit suh esiit ih jen nyootsoot mui suh sen loong ah ese totoh.
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
Enoothong arah le adi mararah tiit ah lacho thang ih raanghang sen suh jaakhoh dowa loong ah we dokthun thuk suh ah. Rangte ih saapootse kot thoih ih ba sen suh lacho laphaan ih raangkoh rumhala
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.
Ranglajatte loong damdoh Jisu Kristo laksuh jun ih mootkaat suh ah. Rangte jiin nawa Ruurang Ese ah Ranglajatte suh baat kot raang ih ngah ah romwah likhiik ih reelang, tumeah Ranglajatte loong ah Esa Chiiala ih saasiit rum ano Rangte suh koh arah ethang etjih toom ang rum ah.
17 So even though I have something to boast about because of my service for God,
Erah lidoh Jisu Kristo damdoh roop angno ba ngah ih heh mootkaat ah molang ih jen hangbaat ang.
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,
Ranglajatte loong asuh Rangte jeng kap thuk suh Kristo ih nga mamet maak tahang erah tiit ah baat suh bah nga tachookang. Arah loong ah Kristo ih heh jengkhaap nyia heh reeraang nawa ih mokata,
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.
nyia apaatjaajih chaan aphaan nawa ih, adoleh Rangte Esa Chiiala chaan aphaan nawa ih mokata. Erah thoih, Jerusalem nawa Ilirikam hadaang adi lengkhoom angdi, lam jangtang ih, Kristo Ruurang Ese tiit ah loongtang nyootsoot rumtang.
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.
Saarookwih ngah thung ah langla marah di Jisu Kristo tiit lataat japchaatka Ruurang Ese ah tumbaat suh ramlang, tumeah mihoh ih baatcho hadaang adoh baatkaat suh tanookkang.
21 As Scripture says, “Those who haven't been told the good news will discover him, and those who haven't heard will understand.”
Rangteele ni liiha likhiik ah, “O suh heh tiit ah tabaat korumta erah loong ih japtup rum ah, nyia o ih tajap chaatta loong ih samjat rum ah.”
22 That's why I was prevented so many times from coming to see you.
Nga ih hedop hedop sen reenah kaat suh taatthun leh kaatthet thoih tajen ra tahang.
23 But now, as there's nowhere left here to work, and since I've looked forward to visiting you for many years,
Enoothong amadi bah arah deek akaan adi nga mootkaat ah ejen etang, nyia ngah ih paang rookwih sen japtup suh banthun tang thoih,
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.
amadoh re eang ih laalom lang. Ngah sen damdoh Spain Deek akaan nah wang angdoh lam nah dootsiit roongngit ih lidoh, sen ih ngah erah nah thoksiit rumhang ih laalom lang.
25 At the moment I'm on my way to Jerusalem to help the believers there,
Amadi, bah ngah Jerusalem dowa Rangte mina loong raangtaan kalang.
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.
Tumeah Mesidonia nyia Akaia Chaaste ih Jerusalem dowa Rangte mina marah changthih loong ah chosok suh thaangmuh lakkot ah lomse kotsuh roongwaan rumta.
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.
Erah tiit ah neng neng ih paatta, enoothong amiimiidi neng ih chosokjih angta. Tumeah Jehudi loong ih chiilam laalam nawa neng romseetam ah Ranglajatte suh roong chothuk ha bah, Ranglajatte loong eh uh neng hansi nyamka roomseetam cho rumla rah eh Jehudi loong ah chosok etheng.
28 So once I've done this, and have safely delivered this contribution to them, I'll visit you on my way to Spain.
Ngah ih neng suh ngun lomse rumta ah thoontang kothiin rum angno, ngah Spain nah wang lamdi sen jiinnah dong khoom hang.
29 I know that when I come, Christ will give us his full blessing.
Ngah ih jat ehang sen jiinnah raahang doh Kristo romseetam ah hantek ih huijah hang.
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.
Nga phoh nga no long, seng Teesu Jisu Kristo nyia Esa Chiiala minchan kohalang ah baat korumhala: nga damdoh nga raangtaan ih Rangte rang ah rongrong ih roong soomhan.
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.
Judia dowa lahanpiite jiinnah semroongroong angsuh rangsoom kohe nyia Jerusalem nah reeraang pakna ah erah nawa Rangte mina loong ih raang ih ethang etjih toom ang ah.
32 Pray that I will come to you with gladness, as God wills, so we can enjoy one another's company.
Erah thoih Rangte thung ang abah, ngah sen damdoh rapne tenroonroon ih dong wanghang.
33 May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Seng Rangte, semroongroong kotte wah ah, sen loongtang damdam toomroong tong ha. Amen.
