Pret cyta vōjumim jōir īcīteigam.
1 Mums styprajim ir pīnōkums byut īcīteigim pret nastyprūs vōjumim un mes nadreikstam dareit pēc sovas īgrybas. 2 Ikvīns nu mums sovam tyvōkajam lai ir pateikams un lai pamūdynoj uz lobu. 3 Arī Kristus pats nadareja pēc sovas īgrybas, bet gon kai stōv raksteits: Uz manis kreit tūs pasmōdēšonas, kas pasmōdej Tevi, 4 jo tys, kas stōv vacajūs Rokstūs, ir raksteits myusu pamōcēšonai, lai mums caur iztureibu un Rokstu īprīcynōjumu byutu cereiba. 5 Lai Dīvs, kas syuta iztureibu un īprīcynōšonu, dūd jums sovstarpejū sadareibu saskaņā ar Jezu Kristu, 6 lai jyus reizē vīnā bolsā gūdynōtu Dīvu, myusu Kunga Jezus Kristus Tāvu.
7 Tōpēc pījemit vīns ūtru Dīvam par gūdu tai, kai jyusus ir pījēmis Kristus, 8 jo es soku: Kristus ir palicis par apgraizeišonas kolpu Dīva patīseiguma dēļ, lai izpiļdeitu tū sūlejumu, kas tāvim beja dūts. 9 Un pogōni lai slavej Dīvu Jō žālsirdeibas dēļ, jo tai stōv raksteits: Tōpēc es Tevi (Kungs) slavēšu storp pogōnim un augsti teikšu tovu vōrdu. 10 Un otkon: Prīcojitēs jyus, tautas, reizē ar Jō tautu. 11 Un cytā vītā: Teicit Kungu vysas pogōnu tautas un augsti slavejit Jū vysi ļaudis. 12 Arī Izajas soka: Nu Jesses nōks atauga, pasaceļs un pōrvaļdeis tautas. Uz Jū cerēs tautas. 13 Dīvs, nu kō nōk cereiba, lai pīpylda jyusus ar prīcu un mīru ikš ticeibas, lai jums Svātō Gora spākā byutu cereibas pōrpiļneiba.
Apostola nūdūmi un sveicīni.
14 Muni brōli, es nu sovas puses asmu pōrlīcynōts, ka jums ir lobs nūskaņōjums, ka asot bogōti ar ikvīnu zineibu un spējeigi cyts cytam dūt aizrōdejumus. 15 Vītom es jums, brōli, raksteju pōrdrūši, lai jums atgōdynōtu caur tū žēlesteibu, kuru Dīvs man ir devis. 16 Man jōir par Jezus Kristus omota kolpu dēļ pogōnim un kai presbyteram jōsludynoj Dīva Evangelijs, lai pogōni pōrsvēteiti caur Svātu Goru, toptu par pateikamu upura dōvonu. 17 Es varu dīžōtīs ikš Jezus Kristus par Dīva lītu, 18 jo es naīsadrūšynōtu kaut kō runōt, kō Kristus caur mani nabyutu darejis vōrdūs un dorbūs, lai pogōnus pīvastu pi paklauseibas 19 caur zeimu spāku, breinumim un Dīva Gora spāku. Tai es sludynōju Kristus Evangeliju sōcūt nu Jeruzalemas vysapleik leidz pat Illyrijai. 20 Pi tam es sev pīskaiteju kai gūdu nasludynōt Evangelija tur, kur Kristus vōrds jau beja pazeistams, jo es nagribēju ceļt uz svešas dryvas, 21 bet gon kai stōv raksteits: Tī, kam par Jū vēļ nabeja sludynōts, tī jū īraudzeis un tī, kas par Jū veļ nabeja dzērdējuši, tī ju pazeis 22 Šytō dēļ daudzreiz beju aizkavāts aizīt pi jums. 23 Bet tagad, kad šymūs apvydūs man nav vairs vītas, un gryba pi jums īsarast man ir jau nu daudz godim, 24 tad es ceļōdams uz Spaniju pi jums īsarasšu. Es ceru, ka garum ceļojūt jyusus redzēšu un pēc tam, kad jyusu vydā byušu mozlīt atsapyutīs, uz turīni man nu jums byus jyusu pavodūņi.
25 Bet tagad es ceļoju uz Jeruzalemu, paleidzādams svātajim, 26 jo Makedonija un Achaja nūlēme savōkt dōvonas dēļ tim nabogim, kas ir storp svātajim Jeruzalemā. 27 Jī tū nūlēme, jim arī ir pīnōkums tū dareit. Jo pogōni ir par tūs goreigūs lobumu daleibnīkim, tad jim ir jōpaleidz tim ar sovim laiceigajim lobumim. 28 Kad es tū nūkōrtōšu, un salaseitū tim nūdūšu, tad es braucūt uz Spaniju isarasšu pi jums. 29 Un es zynu, ka nūnōkūt pi jums, atnesšu Kristus (Evangelija) svēteibas pōrpiļneibu.
30 Brōli, es jyusus lyudzu caur myusu Kungu Jezu Kristu un caur (Svātō) Gora mīlesteibu, ka jyus man paleidzātu sovōs lyugšonōs uz Dīvu par mani, 31 lai mani izglōbtu nu Judejas naticeigajim un lai muns pakolpōjums svātajim Jeruzalemā nōktu par lobu. 32 Tad es, jo Dīvs tai gribēs, ar prīcu nōkšu pi jums un pi jums atsapyusšu.
33 Mīra Dīvs lai ir ar jums vysim! Amen.
Please Others and Not Yourself
1 If our faith is strong, we should be patient with the Lord's followers whose faith is weak. We should try to please them instead of ourselves. 2 We should think of their good and try to help them by doing what pleases them. 3 Even Christ did not try to please himself. But as the Scriptures say, “The people who insulted you also insulted me.” 4 And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope. 5 God is the one who makes us patient and cheerful. I pray that he will help you live at peace with each other, as you follow Christ. 6 Then all of you together will praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Good News Is for Jews and Gentiles
7 Honor God by accepting each other, as Christ has accepted you. 8 I tell you that Christ came as a servant of the Jews to show that God has kept the promises he made to their famous ancestors. Christ also came, 9 so that the Gentiles would praise God for being kind to them. It is just as the Scriptures say,
“I will tell the nations
about you,
and I will sing praises
to your name.”
10 The Scriptures also say to the Gentiles, “Come and celebrate with God's people.”
11 Again the Scriptures say,
“Praise the Lord,
all you Gentiles.
All you nations, come
and worship him.”
12 Isaiah says,
“Someone from David's family
will come to power.
He will rule the nations,
and they will put their hope
in him.”
13 I pray that God, who gives hope, will bless you with complete happiness and peace because of your faith. And may the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.
Paul's Work as a Missionary
14 My friends, I am sure that you are very good and that you have all the knowledge you need to teach each other. 15 But I have spoken to you plainly and have tried to remind you of some things. God treated me with undeserved grace! 16 He chose me to be a servant of Christ Jesus for the Gentiles and to do the work of a priest in the service of his good news. God did this so that the Holy Spirit could make the Gentiles into a holy offering, pleasing to him.
17 Because of Christ Jesus, I can take pride in my service for God. 18 In fact, all I will talk about is how Christ let me speak and work, so that the Gentiles would obey him. 19 Indeed, I will tell how Christ worked miracles and wonders by the power of the Holy Spirit. I have preached the good news about him all the way from Jerusalem to Illyricum. 20 But I have always tried to preach where people have never heard about Christ. I am like a builder who doesn't build on someone else's foundation. 21 It is just as the Scriptures say,
“All who haven't been told
about him
will see him,
and those who haven't heard
about him
will understand.”
Paul's Plan To Visit Rome
22 My work has always kept me from coming to see you. 23 Now there is nothing left for me to do in this part of the world, and for years I have wanted to visit you. 24 So I plan to stop off on my way to Spain. Then after a short, but refreshing, visit with you, I hope you will quickly send me on.
25-26 I am now on my way to Jerusalem to deliver the money that the Lord's followers in Macedonia and Achaia collected for God's needy people. 27 This is something they really wanted to do. But sharing their money with the Jews was also like paying back a debt, because the Jews had already shared their spiritual blessings with the Gentiles. 28 After I have safely delivered this money, I will visit you and then go on to Spain. 29 And when I do arrive in Rome, I know it will be with the full blessings of Christ.
30 My friends, by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that comes from the Holy Spirit, I beg you to pray sincerely with me and for me. 31 Pray that God will protect me from the unbelievers in Judea, and that his people in Jerusalem will be pleased with what I am doing. 32 Ask God to let me come to you and have a pleasant and refreshing visit. 33 I pray that God, who gives peace, will be with all of you. Amen.
