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.

۱ و ما که توانا هستیم، ضعفهای ناتوانان رامتحمل بشویم و خوشی خود را طالب نباشیم.

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].

۲ هر یکی از ما همسایه خود را خوش بسازد در آنچه برای بنا نیکو است.

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.”

۳ زیرا مسیح نیز خوشی خود را طالب نمی بود، بلکه چنانکه مکتوب است «ملامتهای ملامت کنندگان تو برمن طاری گردید.»

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].

۴ زیرا همه‌چیزهایی که از قبل مکتوب شد، برای تعلیم ما نوشته شد تا به صبر وتسلی کتاب امیدوار باشیم.

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].

۵ الان خدای صبر و تسلی شما را فیض عطاکناد تا موافق مسیح عیسی با یکدیگر یکرای باشید.

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.

۶ تا یکدل و یکزبان شده، خدا و پدرخداوند ما عیسی مسیح را تمجید نمایید.

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!

۷ پس یکدیگر را بپذیرید، چنانکه مسیح نیز مارا پذیرفت برای جلال خدا.

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.

۸ زیرا می‌گویم عیسی مسیح خادم ختنه گردید بجهت راستی خدا تا وعده های اجداد را ثابت گرداند،

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].”

۹ و تاامت‌ها خدا را تمجید نمایند به‌سبب رحمت اوچنانکه مکتوب است که «از این جهت تو را درمیان امت‌ها اقرار خواهم کرد و به نام تو تسبیح خواهم خواند.»

10 [David] also wrote, “You non-Jews, rejoice with us who are God’s people.”

۱۰ و نیز می‌گوید «ای امت‌ها باقوم او شادمان شوید.»

11 [And Moses wrote in] the [Scriptures], “Praise the Lord, all [you] non-Jews, and may everyone praise him [DOU].”

۱۱ و ایض «ای جمیع امت‌ها خداوند را حمد گویید و‌ای تمامی قومهااو را مدح نمایید.»

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].”

۱۲ و اشعیا نیز می‌گوید که «ریشه یسا خواهد بود و آنکه برای حکمرانی امت‌ها مبعوث شود، امید امت‌ها بر وی خواهدبود.»

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].

۱۳ الان خدای امید، شما را از کمال خوشی وسلامتی در ایمان پر سازد تا به قوت روح‌القدس در امید افزوده گردید.

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.

۱۴ لکن‌ای برادران من، خود نیز درباره شمایقین می‌دانم که خود از نیکویی مملو و پر از کمال معرفت و قادر بر نصیحت نمودن یکدیگر هستید.

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,

۱۵ لیکن‌ای برادران بسیار جسارت ورزیده، من خود نیز به شما جزئی نوشتم تا شما را یادآوری نمایم به‌سبب آن فیضی که خدا به من بخشیده است،

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]}.

۱۶ تا خادم عیسی مسیح شوم برای امت هاو کهانت انجیل خدا را به‌جا آورم تا هدیه امت هامقبول افتد، مقدس شده به روح‌القدس.

17 It follows that, because [of my relationship with] (OR, because [I belong to]) Christ Jesus, I am happy about [my work for] God.

۱۷ پس به مسیح عیسی در کارهای خدا فخر دارم.

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,

۱۸ زیراجرات نمی کنم که سخنی بگویم جز در آن اموری که مسیح بواسطه من به عمل آورد، برای اطاعت امت‌ها در قول و فعل،

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].

۱۹ به قوت آیات ومعجزات و به قوت روح خدا. بحدی که ازاورشلیم دور زده تا به الیرکون بشارت مسیح راتکمیل نمودم.

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.

۲۰ اما حریص بودم که بشارت چنان بدهم، نه در جایی که اسم مسیح شهرت یافته بود، مبادا بر بنیاد غیری بنا نمایم.

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].”

۲۱ بلکه چنانکه مکتوب است «آنانی که خبر او را نیافتند، خواهند دید و کسانی که نشنیدند، خواهندفهمید.»

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.

۲۲ بنابراین‌بارها از آمدن نزد شما ممنوع شدم.

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.

۲۳ لکن چون الان مرا در این ممالک دیگرجایی نیست و سالهای بسیار است که مشتاق آمدن نزد شما بوده‌ام،

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].

۲۴ هرگاه به اسپانیا سفرکنم، به نزد شما خواهم آمد زیرا امیدوار هستم که شما را در عبور ملاقات کنم و شما مرا به آن سوی مشایعت نمایید، بعد از آنکه از ملاقات شما اندکی سیر شوم.

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].

۲۵ لکن الان عازم اورشلیم هستم تا مقدسین را خدمت کنم.

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.

۲۶ زیرا که اهل مکادونیه و اخائیه مصلحت دیدند که زکاتی برای مفلسین مقدسین اورشلیم بفرستند،

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].

۲۷ بدین رضادادند و بدرستی که مدیون ایشان هستند زیرا که چون امت‌ها از روحانیات ایشان بهره‌مندگردیدند، لازم شد که در جسمانیات نیز خدمت ایشان را بکنند.

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.

۲۸ پس چون این را انجام دهم واین ثمر را نزد ایشان ختم کنم، از راه شما به اسپانیا خواهم آمد.

29 And I know that when I visit you, Christ will abundantly bless [us] (OR, enable [me] to bless [you]).

۲۹ و می‌دانم وقتی که به نزدشما آیم، در کمال برکت انجیل مسیح خواهم آمد.

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.

۳۰ لکن‌ای برادران، از شما التماس دارم که بخاطر خداوند ما عیسی مسیح و به محبت روح (القدس )، برای من نزد خدا در دعاها جد وجهدکنید،

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.

۳۱ تا از نافرمانان یهودیه رستگار شوم وخدمت من در اورشلیم مقبول مقدسین افتد،

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.

۳۲ تابرحسب اراده خدا با خوشی نزد شما برسم و باشما استراحت یابم.

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!)

۳۳ و خدای سلامتی با همه شما باد، آمین.
