Romans 15
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
οφειλομεν δε ημεις οι δυνατοι τα ασθενηματα των αδυνατων βασταζειν και μη εαυτοις αρεσκειν
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
εκαστος γαρ ημων τω πλησιον αρεσκετω εις το αγαθον προς οικοδομην
3 For even Messiah did not please himself. But, as it is written, "The insults of those who insult you fell on me."
και γαρ ο χριστος ουχ εαυτω ηρεσεν αλλα καθως γεγραπται οι ονειδισμοι των ονειδιζοντων σε επεπεσον επ εμε
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our instruction, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
οσα γαρ προεγραφη εις την ημετεραν διδασκαλιαν προεγραφη ινα δια της υπομονης και της παρακλησεως των γραφων την ελπιδα εχωμεν
5 Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Messiah Yeshua,
ο δε θεος της υπομονης και της παρακλησεως δωη υμιν το αυτο φρονειν εν αλληλοις κατα χριστον ιησουν
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
ινα ομοθυμαδον εν ενι στοματι δοξαζητε τον θεον και πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of God.
διο προσλαμβανεσθε αλληλους καθως και ο χριστος προσελαβετο ημας εις δοξαν θεου
8 Now I say that Messiah has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
λεγω δε ιησουν χριστον διακονον γεγενησθαι περιτομης υπερ αληθειας θεου εις το βεβαιωσαι τας επαγγελιας των πατερων
9 and that the non-Jews might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "therefore I will give praise to you among the non-Jews, and sing to your name."
τα δε εθνη υπερ ελεους δοξασαι τον θεον καθως γεγραπται δια τουτο εξομολογησομαι σοι εν εθνεσιν και τω ονοματι σου ψαλω
10 Again he says, "Rejoice, you nations, with his people."
και παλιν λεγει ευφρανθητε εθνη μετα του λαου αυτου
11 Again, "Praise the Lord, all you nations. Let all the peoples praise him."
και παλιν αινειτε τον κυριον παντα τα εθνη και επαινεσατε αυτον παντες οι λαοι
12 Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the peoples; in him will the nations hope."
και παλιν ησαιας λεγει εσται η ριζα του ιεσσαι και ο ανισταμενος αρχειν εθνων επ αυτω εθνη ελπιουσιν
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
ο δε θεος της ελπιδος πληρωσαι υμας πασης χαρας και ειρηνης εν τω πιστευειν εις το περισσευειν υμας εν τη ελπιδι εν δυναμει πνευματος αγιου
14 I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
πεπεισμαι δε αδελφοι μου και αυτος εγω περι υμων οτι και αυτοι μεστοι εστε αγαθωσυνης πεπληρωμενοι πασης γνωσεως δυναμενοι και αλληλους νουθετειν
15 But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
τολμηροτερον δε εγραψα υμιν αδελφοι απο μερους ως επαναμιμνησκων υμας δια την χαριν την δοθεισαν μοι υπο του θεου
16 that I should be a servant of Messiah Yeshua to the non-Jews, serving as a cohen the Good News of God, that the offering up of the non-Jews might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
εις το ειναι με λειτουργον ιησου χριστου εις τα εθνη ιερουργουντα το ευαγγελιον του θεου ινα γενηται η προσφορα των εθνων ευπροσδεκτος ηγιασμενη εν πνευματι αγιω
17 I have therefore my boasting in Messiah Yeshua in things pertaining to God.
εχω ουν καυχησιν εν χριστω ιησου τα προς θεον
18 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Messiah worked through me, for the obedience of the non-Jews, by word and deed,
ου γαρ τολμησω λαλειν τι ων ου κατειργασατο χριστος δι εμου εις υπακοην εθνων λογω και εργω
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Ruach of God; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Messiah.
εν δυναμει σημειων και τερατων εν δυναμει πνευματος θεου ωστε με απο ιερουσαλημ και κυκλω μεχρι του ιλλυρικου πεπληρωκεναι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
20 And in this way I desire to preach the Good News where Messiah was not known, that I might not build on another's foundation.
ουτως δε φιλοτιμουμενον ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουχ οπου ωνομασθη χριστος ινα μη επ αλλοτριον θεμελιον οικοδομω
21 But, as it is written, "Those who were not told about him, they will see, and those who have not heard, they will understand."
αλλα καθως γεγραπται οις ουκ ανηγγελη περι αυτου οψονται και οι ουκ ακηκοασιν συνησουσιν
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
διο και ενεκοπτομην τα πολλα του ελθειν προς υμας
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
νυνι δε μηκετι τοπον εχων εν τοις κλιμασιν τουτοις επιποθιαν δε εχων του ελθειν προς υμας απο πολλων ετων
24 whenever I journey to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
ως εαν πορευωμαι εις την σπανιαν ελευσομαι προς υμας ελπιζω γαρ διαπορευομενος θεασασθαι υμας και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εκει εαν υμων πρωτον απο μερους εμπλησθω
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the kadoshim.
νυνι δε πορευομαι εις ιερουσαλημ διακονων τοις αγιοις
26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the kadoshim who are at Jerusalem.
ευδοκησαν γαρ μακεδονια και αχαια κοινωνιαν τινα ποιησασθαι εις τους πτωχους των αγιων των εν ιερουσαλημ
27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the non-Jewish people have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.
ευδοκησαν γαρ και οφειλεται αυτων εισιν ει γαρ τοις πνευματικοις αυτων εκοινωνησαν τα εθνη οφειλουσιν και εν τοις σαρκικοις λειτουργησαι αυτοις
28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
τουτο ουν επιτελεσας και σφραγισαμενος αυτοις τον καρπον τουτον απελευσομαι δι υμων εις την σπανιαν
29 I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Messiah.
οιδα δε οτι ερχομενος προς υμας εν πληρωματι ευλογιας του ευαγγελιου του χριστου ελευσομαι
30 Now I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and by the love of the Ruach, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και δια της αγαπης του πνευματος συναγωνισασθαι μοι εν ταις προσευχαις υπερ εμου προς τον θεον
31 that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the kadoshim;
ινα ρυσθω απο των απειθουντων εν τη ιουδαια και ινα η διακονια μου η εις ιερουσαλημ ευπροσδεκτος γενηται τοις αγιοις
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
ινα εν χαρα ελθω προς υμας δια θεληματος θεου και συναναπαυσωμαι υμιν
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
ο δε θεος της ειρηνης μετα παντων υμων αμην
