Romans 15
1 And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the weaknesses of the powerless, and not to please ourselves;
Debemus autem nos firmiores imbecillitates infirmorum sustinere, et non nobis placere.
2 for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, for edification,
Unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum, ad aedificationem.
3 for even the Christ did not please Himself, but according as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me”;
Etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est: Improperia improperantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
4 for as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.
Quaecumque enim scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt: ut per patientiam, et consolationem Scripturarum, spem habeamus.
5 And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,
Deus autem patientiae, et solatii det vobis idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Iesum Christum:
6 that with one accord—with one mouth—you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
ut unanimes, uno ore honorificetis Deum, et patrem Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
7 for this reason receive one another, according as also the Christ received us, to the glory of God.
Propter quod suscipite invicem, sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei.
8 And I say Jesus Christ to have become a servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,
Dico enim Christum Iesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei, ad confirmandas promissiones patrum:
9 and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it has been written: “Because of this I will confess to You among nations, and to Your Name I will sing praise”;
Gentes autem super misericordia honorare Deum, sicut scriptum est: Propterea confitebor tibi in Gentibus Domine, et nomini tuo cantabo.
10 and again it says, “Rejoice you nations, with His people”;
Et iterum dicit: Laetamini Gentes cum plebe eius.
11 and again, “Praise the LORD, all you nations; and laud Him, all you peoples”;
Et iterum: Laudate omnes Gentes Dominum: et magnificate eum omnes populi.
12 and again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, and He who is rising to rule nations—on Him will nations hope”;
Et rursus Isaias ait: Erit radix Iesse, et qui exurget regere Gentes, in eum Gentes sperabunt.
13 and the God of the hope will fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio, et pace in credendo: ut abundetis in spe, et virtute Spiritus sancti.
14 And I am persuaded, my brothers—I myself also—concerning you, that you yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, also able to admonish one another;
Certus sum autem fratres mei et ego ipse de vobis, quoniam et ipsi pleni estis dilectione, repleti omni scientia, ita ut possitis alterutrum monere.
15 and the more boldly I wrote to you, brothers, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
Audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vos reducens: propter gratiam, quae data est mihi a Deo,
16 for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
ut sim minister Christi Iesu in Gentibus: sanctificans Evangelium Dei, ut fiat oblatio Gentium accepta, et sanctificata in Spiritu sancto.
17 I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,
Habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Iesu ad Deum.
18 for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
Non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum, quae per me non efficit Christus in obedientiam Gentium, verbo et factis:
19 in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;
in virtute signorum, et prodigiorum, in virtute Spiritus sancti: ita ut ab Ierusalem per circuitum usque ad Illyricum repleverim Evangelium Christi.
20 and so counting it honor to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named—that on another’s foundation I might not build—
Sic autem praedicavi Evangelium hoc, non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum aedificarem:
21 but according as it has been written: “To whom it was not told concerning Him, they will see; and they who have not heard, will understand.”
sed sicut scriptum est: Quibus non est annunciatum de eo, videbunt: et qui non audierunt de eo, intelligent.
22 For this reason, also, I was hindered many times from coming to you,
Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos, sed prohibitus sum usque adhuc.
23 and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come to you for many years,
Nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus, cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis iam praecedentibus annis:
24 when I may go on to Spain I will come to you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward there, if of you first, in part, I will be filled.
cum in Hispaniam proficisci coepero, spero quod praeteriens videam vos, et a vobis deducar illuc, si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero.
25 And now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the holy ones;
Nunc igitur proficiscar in Ierusalem ministrare sanctis.
26 for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the holy ones who [are] in Jerusalem;
Probaverunt enim Macedonia, et Achaia collationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, qui sunt in Ierusalem.
27 for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if the nations participated in their spiritual things, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.
Placuit enim eis: et debitores sunt eorum. Nam si spiritualium eorum participes facti sunt Gentiles: debent et in carnalibus ministrare illis.
28 This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;
Hoc igitur cum consummavero, et assignavero eis fructum hunc: per vos proficiscar in Hispaniam.
29 and I have known that coming to you—in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I will come.
Scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos, in abundantia benedictionis Evangelii Christi veniam.
30 And I call on you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God,
Obsecro ergo vos fratres per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, et per charitatem sancti Spiritus, ut adiuvetis et me in orationibus vestris pro me ad Deum,
31 that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministry, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the holy ones;
ut liberer ab infidelibus, qui sunt in Iudaea, et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Ierusalem sanctis,
32 that in joy I may come to you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,
ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei, et refrigerer vobiscum.
33 and the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
