Romans 15
1 Most of us are sure [that God will not punish us for doing certain things that the laws and rituals God gave Moses said the Jews should not do. But we] should be patient with those who are uncertain [about such things], and we should not let them irritate us. We should not [simply] please ourselves.
Мусимо ми, сильні, немочі безсильних носити, а не собі догоджати.
2 Each of us should [do the things that] please the fellow [believers with whom we come in contact, and things that will] benefit them. [We should do those things] in order to help them mature [spiritually].
Кожен бо з нас ближньому нехай догоджає, на добре, до збудування.
3 [We should please our fellow believers], since Christ [has set us an example]. He did not [do things to] please himself. On the contrary, [he tried to please God even when others insulted him. That was] as it is written {as ([someone/the Psalmist]) wrote} [in Scripture that the Messiah said to God]: “When people insulted you [(sg)], [it was as though] they were also insulting me.”
Бо і Христос не собі годив, а яко ж писано: Зневага зневажаючих Тебе упала на мене.
4 And [you need to remember that] what was written previously {what [God’s servants] previously wrote} [in the Scriptures], was written {[they] wrote} to teach us in order that we would be patient and be encouraged by [reading/believing] what they wrote. If we do that, we can confidently expect [God to do for us all he has promised].
Скільки бо перше написано, нам на науку написано, щоб через терпіннє та утїшеннє (з) писання мали надію.
5 God is the one who enables us to be patient and encourages us. ([Ask/Pray to]) [him that he would] enable you [all] to live harmoniously with each other, doing as Christ Jesus [did].
Бог же терпіння та утїшення нехай дасть вам однаково думати між собою по Христу Ісусові,
6 Then, as you are united in what you think and say [MTY], you will praise God, [who is the heavenly] father [MET] of our Lord Jesus Christ.
щоб однодушне, одними устами славили Бога й Отця Господа нашого Ісуса Христа.
7 So [I say to all of you believers at Rome], accept each other. [If you do that], people will praise God [as they see you behaving like Christ. Accept each other] just like Christ accepted you!
Тим же приймайте один одного яко ж і Христос прийняв вас у славу Божу.
8 I want [you to remember] that Christ [helped us] Jews [MTY] by what he did, in order to show that God (is faithful/does what he says he will do). That is, [his coming as our Messiah] fulfilled what God promised to [our Jewish] ancestors.
Глаголю ж, що Ісус Христос став ся слугою обрізання ради істини Божої, щоб ствердити обітовання отців,
9 And [by acting mercifully to them, he also caused] non-Jews to praise him. [What he has done for non-Jews] fulfills what is written [in the Scriptures that David said to God]: “So I will praise you [(sg) when I am] among the non-Jews, and I will sing to you [MTY].”
а для поган - з милості, щоб прославляли Бога, яко ж писано: За се визнавати му Тебе між поганами й імени Твоєму співати му.
10 [David] also wrote, “You non-Jews, rejoice with us who are God’s people.”
І знов глаголе: Звеседїть ся, погане, з людьми Його.
11 [And Moses wrote in] the [Scriptures], “Praise the Lord, all [you] non-Jews, and may everyone praise him [DOU].”
І знов: Хвалїть Господа, всі погане, і вихваляйте Його всі люде.
12 And Isaiah wrote [in the Scriptures], “There will be a descendant [MET] of [King] David who will begin to rule the non-Jews. They will confidently expect him [to fulfill what he has promised].”
І знов Ісаїя глаголе: Буде корінь Єссеїв, Той, що встане, владикувати над поганами; на Него погане вповати муть.
13 God is the one who causes you to confidently expect [him to do what he has promised. I pray/ask] that he will cause you to be completely joyful and peaceful as you trust [in him]. As you do that, the Holy Spirit will enable you to more and more confidently expect [to receive what God has promised you].
Бог же вповання нехай сповнить вас усякими радощами й упокоєм у вірі, щоб ви збагатились упованнєм, силою Духа сьвятого.
14 My fellow believers, I myself am [completely] sure that you yourselves [have acted toward others] in a completely good way. You have done that because you have known completely [all that God wants you to know] [HYP], and because you are able to teach each other.
Впевнив ся ж і я сам про вас, браттє моє, що й самі ви повні добрости, повні, всякого знання, і зможете один одного навчати.
15 However, I have written to you quite frankly [in this letter] about some things in order to remind you [about those things]. [I have written this letter] because I have been appointed by God {God has [appointed] me}, which I did not deserve,
Сьмілїще ж написав я вам, браттє моє, трохи, яко нагадуючи вам по благодаті, даній менї від Бога,
16 in order that I would work for Jesus Christ among non-Jews. [God has appointed me] to act like a priest as I [proclaim] his good message in order that he will accept the non-Jews [who believe in Christ. They will be] like an offering [MET] [to God] as a result of their being dedicated [to him] by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit dedicating them [to God]}.
щоб бути менї служителем Ісус-Христовим між поганами, сьвято проповідуючи благовісте Боже, щоб приношеннє від поган було приятне і осьвящене Духом сьвятим.
17 It follows that, because [of my relationship with] (OR, because [I belong to]) Christ Jesus, I am happy about [my work for] God.
Маю оце похвалу через Христа Ісуса в Божих речах.
18 I will speak boldly only [LIT] about the work that Christ has enabled me to do. [I do that work] in order that non-Jews might pay attention to [the message about Christ] as a result of what I have said and done,
Не сьмію бо глаголати про таке, чого не вдіяв Христос через мене на послух поган, словом і дїлом,
19 specifically, by [my performing] many powerful miracles [DOU]. [I have done those things] as a result of [God’s] Spirit powerfully [enabling me]. As a result [of doing those things, while traveling] all the way around from Jerusalem to Illyricum [province], I have completed [my work] of proclaiming the message about Christ [in those places].
силою ознак і чудес, силою Духа Божого; так що я від Єрусалиму і кругом аж до Ілирика сповнив благовісте Христове.
20 As [I proclaim] that message, I am always eagerly trying to proclaim it [in places] where people have not already heard about Christ. I do that in order that [as I work for God] I might not [be continuing the work for him that someone else already started] [MET]. [I do not want to be like a man who] builds [a house] on someone else’s foundation.
Так силкувавсь я благовістити, не де іменував ся Христос, щоб на чужій основинї не будувати,
21 On the contrary, [I teach non-Jews, so that what happens may be like] what was written {the prophet Isaiah wrote} [in the Scriptures about the Messiah]: “Those who did not hear about him previously will know [the truth about him]. Truly, those who have not heard [about him will hear and] understand [his message] [DOU].”
а яко ж писано: Кому не звіщено про Него, побачать, і котрі не чули, зрозуміють.
22 Because [I have attempted to preach the message about Christ in places where they have not heard about him], I have been hindered {things have hindered me} many times [from being able] to visit you.
Тим же й був я з'упинений не раз, прийти до вас.
23 But now there are no more places in these regions [where people have not heard about Christ]. Furthermore, for several years I have wanted to visit you.
Тепер же, більш не маючи місця в сих країнах, бажаннє ж маючи прийти до вас од многих лїт,
24 [So I hope to go/come to see you]. I hope to do that as soon as I am on my way to [the provinces in] Spain. I hope to see you as I journey through [your area], and I hope that [by whatever you give me] [EUP] you will help me on my journey to Spain. But before [I go there], I want to enjoy being with you for a little while, although [I would like to stay with you longer].
як пійду в Іспанию, прийду до вас; сподіваюсь бо, проходючи, бачити вас, і що ви мене проведете туди, як перш вами трохи навтішаюсь
25 But [I cannot visit you] now, because I am about to go to Jerusalem in order to take money [EUP] for God’s people [there].
Тепер же йду в Єрусалим, служити сьвятим.
26 [The believers in] Macedonia and Achaia [provinces] [MTY] decided to contribute some [money] [EUP] for those of God’s people in Jerusalem who are poor.
Зводили бо Македонці та Ахайцї удїлити дещо вбогим сьвятим, що в Єрусалимі.
27 They themselves decided [to do this, but] truly they owe something to God’s people in Jerusalem. The non-Jewish [believers] benefited spiritually from Jewish [believers as a result of hearing the message about Christ from them], so the non-Jews should also help the Jewish believers [in Jerusalem by giving them] material things (OR, money) [EUP].
Зволили, та й винні їм. Коли бо в духовному їх спільниками стали погане, то повинні в тїлесному послужити й їм.
28 So when I have finished this [task] by safely delivering all this money [MET, EUP] [that the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have given], I will leave [Jerusalem and visit] you [in Rome while I am] on my way to Spain.
Се ж скінчивши й запечатавши (оддавши) їм овощ сей, пійду через вас в Іспанию.
29 And I know that when I visit you, Christ will abundantly bless [us] (OR, enable [me] to bless [you]).
Знаю ж, що прийшовши до вас, в повнї благословення благовістя Христового прийду.
30 Because [we belong to] our Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit [of God causes us to] love [each other], I urge you [all] that [you help me] by fervently/intensely praying to God for me.
Благаю ж вас, браттє, Господом нашим Ісусом Христом і любовю Духа, помагайте менї молитвами за мене до Бога,
31 [Pray that] I will be protected {[that God] will protect me} so that the [Jews] in Judea who do not believe [the message about Christ will not harm me]. Also pray that God’s people in Jerusalem will accept the money [EUP] that I [take] to them.
щоб збавитись менї від непокірних в Юдеї, і щоб служба моя в Єрусалимі приятна була сьвятим,
32 Pray these things in order that I may go/come to you if God wants me to go/come, and that I may go/come joyfully, and that then God will refresh my [spirit as a result of my visiting/being] with you.
щоб з радістю прийшов до вас волею Божою, та й покрепив ся з вами.
33 [I pray that] God, who [causes us to have inner] peace, will be with all of you [and will help] you. (May it be so!/Amen!)
Бог же впокою з усіма вами. Амінь.
