Romans 15
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Ko ia ko kitautolu ʻoku mālohi ʻoku totonu ke tau kātaki ʻae ngaahi vaivai ʻoe vaivai, pea ʻoua naʻa fakafiemālie kiate kitautolu pē.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
Ke tau taki taha fakafiemālie kotoa pē ki hono kaungāʻapi, ke lelei ai mo langa hake ai ia.
3 For even Christ did not please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
He naʻe ʻikai fakafiemālie ʻa Kalaisi ʻe ia; kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko e ngaahi manuki ʻanautolu naʻe manukiʻi koe, naʻe tō kiate au.”
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
He ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻe tohi ʻi muʻa, naʻe tohi ko hotau akonaki, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa kātaki mo e fakafiemālie ʻoe ngaahi tohi, ketau maʻu ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei.
5 Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
Pea ko eni, ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe faʻa kātaki mo e fiemālie, ke mou felototatauʻaki pē kiate kimoutolu ʻo tatau mo Kalaisi Sisu:
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Koeʻuhi ke mou loto taha pē, mo ngutu taha pē, ʻi he fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻio, ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
Ko ia ke mou femāʻuaki ʻakimoutolu taki taha, ʻo hangē ko e maʻu foki ʻe Kalaisi ʻakitautolu ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua.
8 Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou fakahā ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻoe kamu, koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua, ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa [naʻe fai ]ki he ngaahi tamai:
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”
Pea koeʻuhi ke fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi Senitaile koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko e meʻa ko ia te u fakaongolelei ai koe ʻi he ngaahi Senitaile, ʻo hiva ki ho huafa.”
10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
Pea toe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke fiefia ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi Senitaile, fakataha mo hono kakai.”
11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
Pea toe pehē, “Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi Senitaile kotoa pē: fakaongolelei ia, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē.”
12 Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
Pea toe lea ʻa ʻIsaia, “ʻE ai ha aka ʻo Sese, pea ʻe tupu hake ia ke pule ki he kakai Senitaile; ʻe ʻamanaki lelei ʻae kakai Senitaile kiate ia.”
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 Holy Spirit.
Pea ko eni, [ʻofa ]ke fakafonu ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe ʻamanaki lelei, ʻaki ʻae fiefia mo e melino ʻi he tui, koeʻuhi ke mou mohu ʻamanaki lelei, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
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.
Pea ko au foki, ʻoku ou ʻilo pau kiate kimoutolu, ko hoku kāinga, kuo fonu ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi he angalelei, kuo fakapito ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻilo kotoa pē, mo e mafai foki ke fetokoniʻaki ʻakimoutolu.
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,
Ka kuo u tohi mālohi atu nai kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ke fakamanatuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻaia kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua,
16 that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Koeʻuhi ke u hoko ai ko e faifekau ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ki he kakai Senitaile, ʻo tauhi ʻae ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻaonga hono feilaulau ʻaki ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
17 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
Ko ia ʻoku ou maʻu ʻaia ke u fakamālō ai ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku kau ki he ʻOtua.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
He ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Kalaisi ʻiate au, ke fakatalangofua ʻae ngaahi Senitaile, ʻi he lea mo e ngāue,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;
ʻI he ngaahi mana lahi mo fakaofo, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua; pea kuo ʻaonga ʻeku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻa Kalaisi, ʻo fai mei Selūsalema, ʻo fakatakamilo ʻo aʻu ki Ililekomi.
20 yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
ʻIo, naʻe pehē ʻeku feinga ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻikai ʻi he potu kuo huaʻaki ai ʻa kalaisi, telia naʻaku fokotuʻu ʻoha tangata kehe.
21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who have not heard will understand.”
Kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko kinautolu naʻe ʻikai leaʻaki ia ki ai, te nau mamata: pea ko kinautolu naʻe ʻikai fanongo, te nau ʻilo.”
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
Ko ia ko e meʻa ko ia foki kuo lahi ʻene taʻofi au, pea kuo ʻikai ai te u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu.
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
Ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai kei toe haʻaku potu ʻi he ngaahi fonua ni, pea ʻi heʻeku holi lahi ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi ke u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu;
24 whenever I travel 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.
ʻOka hoko hoku fononga, pea ke mou moimoiʻi au ʻi hoku fononga, ʻoka hili ʻeku maʻu ʻae fiemālie siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu.
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
Ka ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻalu ki Selūsalema, ke tokoni ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni.
26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
He naʻe lelei kiate kinautolu ʻo Masitōnia mo ʻAkeia ke fai ʻae tānaki koloa maʻae kāinga māʻoniʻoni ʻoku masiva ʻi Selūsalema.
27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.
Kuo nau fai loto lelei eni; pea ko honau kau fai totongi totonu ʻakinautolu. He kapau kuo fakakau ʻae Senitaile ke maʻu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālie, ko ʻenau ngāue totonu ia ke tokoni ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamaama.
28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
Ko ia ka hili ʻeku fai eni, pea u fakamaʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae fua ni, te u ʻalu atu ʻiate kimoutolu ki Sepeini.
29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo, ʻo kau ka aʻu atu kiate kimoutolu, te u ʻalu atu ʻi hono fonu ʻoe tāpuaki ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi.
30 Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ko hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa ʻoe Laumālie, ke mou fekuki mo au ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi lotu ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko au;
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 saints,
Koeʻuhi ke fakahaofi au meiate kinautolu ʻi Siutea ʻoku talangataʻa; pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ngāue ki Selūsalema, ke ʻaonga ia ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni;
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
Pea koeʻuhi ke u aʻu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fiefia ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ke fakafiemālieʻi au mo kimoutolu.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Pea ko eni, ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe melino. ʻEmeni
