Romans 15
1 As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure.
Te dongah mamih tatthai rhoek loh, tattloel vawtthoek rhoek talong ham a kuek tih mamih kah kolo ham moenih.
2 Let each of us endeavour to please his fellow Christian, aiming at a blessing calculated to build him up.
Khat rhip loh mah kah imben te a then la hlinsainah neh a kolo sak saeh.
3 For even the Christ did not seek His own pleasure. His principle was, "The reproaches which they addressed to Thee have fallen on me."
Khrih long pataeng amah kolo ham a vai moenih. Tedae a daek tangtae vanbangla nang aka thuithet rhoek kah hnaelcoenah loh kai n'tlak thil.
4 For all that was written of old has been written for our instruction, so that we may always have hope through the power of endurance and the encouragement which the Scriptures afford.
Aka daek boeih long khaw mamih thuituennah ham ni a. daek. Te daengah man Cacim kah thaphohnah neh uehnah lamloh ngaiuepnah te n'khueh ve.
5 And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus,
Uehnah neh thaphohnah Pathen loh amah Khrih Jesuh bangla khat neh khat te poek sak ham ni nangmih m'paek.
6 so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Te daengah ni mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa neh Pathen te olka pakhat neh huek na thangpom uh eh.
7 Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God.
Pathen kah thangpomnah ham tah Khrih loh nangmih n'doe van bangla khat neh khat doe uh thae.
8 My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness-- in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers--
Khrih he Pathen kah oltak yuengla yahvinrhetnah kah tueihyoeih la om ta, te nen te a pa rhoek kah olkhueh te a cak sak ta.
9 and that the Gentiles also have glorified God in acknowledgment of His mercy. So it is written, "For this reason I will praise Thee among the Gentiles, and sing psalms in honour of Thy name."
Namtom loh rhennah dongah Pathen te thangpom saeh. A daek vanbangla, namah te namtom taengah kan phong tangloeng van saeh lamtah na ming te ka hlai pai eh ka ti.
10 And again the Psalmist says, "Be glad, ye Gentiles, in company with His People."
Te phoeiah namtom rhoek aw a pilnam te uum uh lah,” a ti bal.
11 And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and let all the people extol Him."
Te phoeiah namtom boeih aw Boeipa te thangthen uh. Pilnam loh amah te boeih koeh uh saeh koep a ti.
12 And again Isaiah says, "There shall be the Root of Jesse and One who rises up to rule the Gentiles. On Him shall the Gentiles build their hopes."
Te phoeiah Isaiah loh, “Jesse kah a yung tah thoeng vetih namtom rhoek mawt hamla thoo ni. Anih te namtom rhoek loh a ngaiuep uh ni.
13 May God, the giver of hope, fill you with continual joy and peace because you trust in Him--so that you may have abundant hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Ngaiuepnah Pathen loh omngaihnah neh tangnah dongkah ngaimongnah cungkuem te nangmih ah soep sak saeh. Te te Mueihla Cim kah thaomnah lamloh ngaiuepnah dongah nangmih aka baecoih sak ham ni.
14 But as to you, brethren, I am convinced-- yes, I Paul am convinced--that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another.
Te dongah ka manuca rhoek, nangmih ham kai kamah long khaw nangmih te boethennah neh baetawt la na om uh, mingnah boeih na baetawt uh tih khat neh khat na rhalrhing sak thai tila ka ngaitang.
15 But I write to you the more boldly--partly as reminding you of what you already know--because of the authority graciously entrusted to me by God,
Tedae cungvang ah kai he namtom rhoek taengah Jesuh Khrih kah bibikung la om ham Pathen lamloh kai m'paek lungvatnah dongah nangmih uento ham ni nangmih taegah rhep kan daek coeng.
16 that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, doing priestly duties in connexion with God's Good News so that the sacrifice--namely the Gentiles--may be acceptable to Him, being (as it is) an offering which the Holy Spirit has made holy.
Pathen kah olthangthen te n'talong daengah ni Mueihla Cim loh a ciim tangtae namtom kah hmueih long khaw uem koi la a om eh.
17 I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged.
Te dongah Jesuh Khrih ah Pathen ham ni hoemdamnah ka khueh.
18 For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed,
Olka neh khoboe dongah namtom kah olngainah ham akhaw Khrih loh a thoeng sak pawt te tah kai lamloh pakhat khaw thui hamla ka ngaingaih moenih.
19 with power manifested in signs and marvels, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. But--to speak simply of my own labours--beginning in Jerusalem and the outlying districts, I have proclaimed without reserve, even as far as Illyricum, the Good News of the Christ;
Miknoek neh khobae rhambae kah thaomnah nen khaw, Pathen Mueihla kah thaomnah nen khaw. Te dongah ni kai loh Jerusalem lamkah Illyrikum taengvai duela Khrih kah olthangthen te ka baetawt sak.
20 making it my ambition, however, not to tell the Good News where Christ's name was already known, for fear I should be building on another man's foundation.
Te dongah Khrih a phoei nah pawt ah khaw phong ham tlungmu tangloeng. Te daengah ni hlanglang kah khoengim te ka sak thil pawt eh.
21 But, as Scripture says, "Those shall see, to whom no report about Him has hitherto come, and those who until now have not heard shall understand."
Tedae a daek vanbangla, “Anih kawng aka doek pawt rhoek te a hmuh sak vetih aka ya pawt rhoek loh a hmuhming uh ni.
22 And it is really this which has again and again prevented my coming to you.
Te dongah nangmih taengla lo taitu ham khaw bahoeng n'tomta coeng.
23 But now, as there is no more unoccupied ground in this part of the world, and I have for years past been eager to pay you a visit,
Tedae he rhoek pingpang ah hmuen a om pawt bueng kolla nangmih taeng pha ham kum takuem caithilnah om coeng.
24 I hope, as soon as ever I extend my travels into Spain, to see you on my way and be helped forward by you on my journey, when I have first enjoyed being with you for a time.
Saping la ka caeh vaengah tah nangmih hmuh ham ka pah ni tila ka ngaiuep. Nangmih loh nan thak tapkhoeh atah cungvang ah nangmih ah ka om te ka hah lamhma mai bitni.
25 But at present I am going to Jerusalem to serve God's people,
Tedae hlangcim rhoek te bongyong ham Jerusalem la ka cet pueng.
26 for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.
Makedonia neh Akhaia loh Jerusalem kah hlangcim khodaeng rhoek te bomnah bet saii pah ham a lungtlun uh.
27 Yes, they have kindly done this, and, in fact, it was a debt they owed them. For seeing that the Gentiles have been admitted in to partnership with the Jews in their spiritual blessings, they in turn are under an obligation to render sacred service to the Jews in temporal things.
A lungtlun uh pai saeh amih kah laiba khaw om rhoe ta. Amih kah mueihla ben ah namtom loh a boek coeng atah pumsa ah amih te khaw bom ham a kuek ta.
28 So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there;
Te dongah hekah he ka coeng tih a thaih he amih taengah kutnoek ka daeng sak. Nangmih taeng longah Saping la ka cet mai bitni.
29 and I know that when I come to you it will be with a vast amount of blessing from Christ.
Nangmih taengla ka pawk vaengah Khrih kah yoethennah cungkuem neh ka pawk ni tila ka ming.
30 But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,
Manuca rhoek nangmih te mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamloh, mueihla kah lungnah dongah kan hloep coeng. Pathen taengah kai ham khaw thangthuinah neh kai tha n'huel puei uh.
31 asking that I may escape unhurt from those in Judaea who are disobedient, and that the service which I am going to Jerusalem to render may be well received by the Church there,
Te daengah ni Judea te altha rhoek kut lamkah n'hlawt vetih, Jerusalem ham ka bibinah tah hlangcim rhoek taengah uemo koi la a om eh.
32 in order that if God be willing I may come to you with a glad heart, and may enjoy a time of rest with you.
Te daengah ni nangmih taengah omngaihnah neh ha pawk vetih Pathen kah kongaih dongah nangmih ham ka mong eh.
33 May God, who gives peace be with you all! Amen.
Te dongah ngaimongnah Pathen tah nangmih taengah boeih om saeh. Amen.
