Romans 15
1 We are bound, however, we, who are strong, the weakness of them who are not strong to be bearing, and not, unto ourselves, to give pleasure.
Debemus autem nos firmiores imbecillitates infirmorum sustinere, et non nobis placere.
2 Let, each one of us, unto his neighbour give pleasure—for what is good unto upbuilding;
Unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum, ad aedificationem.
3 For, even the Christ, not unto himself gave pleasure, but, even as it is written—The reproaches of them that we reproaching thee, fell upon me:
Etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est: Improperia improperantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
4 Whatsoever things, in fact, were written aforetime, [all] for our own instruction were written, —in order that, through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have their hope.
Quaecumque enim scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt: ut per patientiam, et consolationem Scripturarum, spem habeamus.
5 Now may, the God of the endurance and of the encouragement, give you, the same thing, to be regarding amongst one another, according to Christ Jesus;
Deus autem patientiae, et solatii det vobis idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Iesum Christum:
6 In order that, with one accord, with one mouth, ye maybe glorifying the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ut unanimes, uno ore honorificetis Deum, et patrem Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, even as, Christ also, hath received us unto the glory of God: —
Propter quod suscipite invicem, sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei.
8 For I affirm Christ to have become a minister of circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, —to confirm the promises of the fathers,
Dico enim Christum Iesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei, ad confirmandas promissiones patrum:
9 And that, the nations, for mercy should glorify God: —even as it is written—For this cause, will I openly confess unto thee among nations, and, unto thy name, will strike the strings;
Gentes autem super misericordia honorare Deum, sicut scriptum est: Propterea confitebor tibi in Gentibus Domine, et nomini tuo cantabo.
10 And again he saith—Be glad ye nations with his people;
Et iterum dicit: Laetamini Gentes cum plebe eius.
11 And again, —Be giving praise all ye nations unto the Lord, and let all the peoples repeat his praise;
Et iterum: Laudate omnes Gentes Dominum: et magnificate eum omnes populi.
12 And, again, Isaiah, saith—There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule nations, —upon, him, shall nations hope.
Et rursus Isaias ait: Erit radix Iesse, et qui exurget regere Gentes, in eum Gentes sperabunt.
13 Now, the God of the hope, fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye may surpass in the hope, in the power of Holy Spirit.
Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio, et pace in credendo: ut abundetis in spe, et virtute Spiritus sancti.
14 But I am persuaded my brethren, —even, I myself, concerning you: that, ye yourselves, also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also, unto one another, to be ministering admonition:
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 Howbeit, the more boldly, have I written unto you, —in some measure, as bringing it back to your minds, —by reason of the favour given unto me from God, —
Audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vos reducens: propter gratiam, quae data est mihi a Deo,
16 That I should be a public minister of Christ Jesus unto the nations, doing priestly service with the glad-message of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might prove to be acceptable, being hallowed in 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, therefore, [my] boasting in Christ Jesus in the things pertaining to God, —
Habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Iesu ad Deum.
18 For I wilt not dare to speak anything save of the things which Christ hath wrought out for himself through me for the 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 By the power of signs and wonders, by the power of [Holy Spirit]; so that I, from Jerusalem and in a circuit as far as Illyricum, have fulfilled the glad-message 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 Although, thus, —as ambitious to be announcing the glad-message—not where Christ had been named, lest, upon another’s foundation, I should be building;
Sic autem praedicavi Evangelium hoc, non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum aedificarem:
21 But, even as it is written—They shall see unto whom had been announced no tidings concerning him, and, they who had not heard, shall understand.
sed sicut scriptum est: Quibus non est annunciatum de eo, videbunt: et qui non audierunt de eo, intelligent.
22 Wherefore, also, I have been hindered these many times from coming unto you;
Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos, sed prohibitus sum usque adhuc.
23 But, now, no longer having place in these regions, and having had, a longing, to come unto you a good many years, —
Nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus, cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis iam praecedentibus annis:
24 As soon as I am journey to Spain, —I am hoping, in fact, when journeying through to get sight of you, and by you to be set forward thither, —if, with your company, I have first in some measure been satisfied.
cum in Hispaniam proficisci coepero, spero quod praeteriens videam vos, et a vobis deducar illuc, si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero.
25 But, now, I am journeying unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints;
Nunc igitur proficiscar in Ierusalem ministrare sanctis.
26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been well-pleased to make a certain fellowship for the destitute of the saints who are in Jerusalem, —
Probaverunt enim Macedonia, et Achaia collationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, qui sunt in Ierusalem.
27 They have been well-pleased, indeed, —and, their debtors, they are; for, if, with their spiritual things the nations have come into fellowship, they are bound also with their own carnal things to minister publicly unto 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 completed, and sealed unto them this fruit, I will come back by you unto Spain: —
Hoc igitur cum consummavero, et assignavero eis fructum hunc: per vos proficiscar in Hispaniam.
29 And know that, when I come unto you, in the fullness of the blessing of Christ, I shall come.
Scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos, in abundantia benedictionis Evangelii Christi veniam.
30 I beseech you, moreover, [brethren], through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers on my behalf unto 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 In order that I may be delivered from them who do not yield in Judaea, and, my ministry which is unto Jerusalem, may prove to be acceptable unto the saints;
ut liberer ab infidelibus, qui sunt in Iudaea, et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Ierusalem sanctis,
32 In order that, with joy coming unto you through God’s will, I may together with you find rest.
ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei, et refrigerer vobiscum.
33 Now, the God of peace, be with you all. Amen.
Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
