¹And we ought — we who are strong — to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

¹¶ Ko te mahi tika ma tatou, ma te hunga kaha, he pikau i nga ngoikoretanga o te hunga kahakore; kaua hoki e whai i ta tatou ake i ahuareka ia.

²for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, unto edification,

²Me whai tena, tena o tatou kia ahuareka mai tona hoa, tona hoa mo te mea e pai ana hei hanga i tona whakapono.

³for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, `The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;`

³Kihai hoki a te Karaiti i whai ki tana ake i ahuareka ai; engari i rite ki te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, Ko nga tawainga a te hunga e tawai ana i a koe kua tau ki ahau.

⁴for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

⁴Ko nga mea katoa hoki i tuhituhia i mua he mea tuhituhi hei whakaako i a tatou, kia whai tumanakohanga ai tatou, i te mea ka whakamanawanui, ka whakamarietia hoki e nga karaipiture.

⁵And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;

⁵¶ Heoi ma te Atua o te manawanui, o te whakamarie, e hoatu ki a koutou kia kotahi te whakaaro o tetahi ki tetahi, kia rite ki ta Karaiti Ihu:

⁶that with one accord — with one mouth — ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁶Kia kotahi ai te whakaaro, kia kotahi ai te mangai, e whakakororia ai koutou i te Atua, ara i te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

⁷wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God.

⁷¶ Na, me whakahoa koutou tetahi ki tetahi, kia rite ki a te Karaiti i mea nei i a tatou hei hoa mona, kia whai kororia ai te Atua.

⁸And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,

⁸Ko taku kupu hoki tenei, i meinga a te Karaiti hei minita ki te kotinga, he whakaaro ki te pono o te Atua, kia u ai nga mea i whakaaria ki nga matua:

⁹and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,`

⁹Kia whakakororia ai hoki nga Tauiwi i te Atua mo tana mahi tohu, kia pera ai me te mea i tuhituhia, Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe i waenganui o nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.

¹⁰and again it saith, `Rejoice ye nations, with His people;`

¹⁰Tenei ano tetahi kupu ana, Kia hari tahi, e nga Tauiwi, me tana iwi.

¹¹and again, `Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;`

¹¹Tenei ano hoki, Whakamoemititia te Ariki, e nga Tauiwi katoa; whakamoemititia ano ia, e nga iwi katoa.

¹²and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations — upon him shall nations hope;`

¹²E mea ana hoki a Ihaia, Tera e whai pakiaka a Hehe, me tetahi e whakatika ake ana hei rangatira mo nga Tauiwi; ko ia hei tumanakohanga ma nga Tauiwi.

¹³and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

¹³¶ Na, ma te Atua, nana nei te tumanako, e whakaki koutou ki te hari katoa, ki te rangimarie, i runga i te whakapono, kia hua ai to koutou tumanako, i runga i te kaha o te Wairua Tapu.

¹⁴And I am persuaded, my brethren — I myself also — concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;

¹⁴¶ Na e u ana toku ake whakaaro ki a koutou, e oku teina, e ki ana koutou i te pai, whawhao rawa ki te matauranga katoa, a e taea ano e koutou te tohutohu tetahi i tetahi.

¹⁵and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

¹⁵Otiia i nui ake ai toku maia ki te tuhituhi penei ki a koutou, e oku teina, he whakamahara ano i a koutou, he mea na te aroha noa kua homai nei ki ahau e te Atua.

¹⁶for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶I meinga ai ahau hei minita ma Ihu Karaiti ki nga tauiwi, hei minita i te rongopai o te Atua, kia manakohia ai te whakahere o nga tauiwi, he mea whakatapu na te Wairua Tapu.

¹⁷I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,

¹⁷¶ Na, kua whai whakamanamanatanga nei ahau i roto i a Karaiti Ihu i nga mea a te Atua.

¹⁸for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

¹⁸E kore hoki ahau e maia ki te korero ki etahi mea, ko nga mea anake kua mahia e te Karaiti na roto i ahau, hei mea kia ngohengohe mai nga Tauiwi, ara na taku kupu, na taku mahi,

¹⁹in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

¹⁹I runga i te kaha o nga tohu, o nga mea whakamiharo, i runga i te kaha o te Wairua Tapu; no ka whakapaua e ahau te kauwhau i te rongopai o te Karaiti atu i Hiruharama, a taka noa ki Iririkuma rawa;

²⁰and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named — that upon another`s foundation I might not build —

²⁰Ae ra, ko ia tenei taku tohe ki te kauwhau i te rongopai, ehara i te mea ki nga wahi kua whakahuatia nei a te Karaiti ki reira, kei hanga whare ahau ki runga ki a tetahi atu turanga:

²¹but according as it hath been written, `To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.`

²¹Engari kia rite ki te mea i tuhituhia, E kite te hunga kihai nei i korerotia ia ki a ratou, a e matau te hunga kihai i rongo.

²²Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,

²²¶ Na konei ano i maha ai oku whakawarenga, te tae atu ai ahau ki a koutou.

²³and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,

²³Otiia inaianei, kua kore nei he wahi moku i enei whenua, a, i te mea he maha nga tau i wawata ai ahau kia tae atu ki a koutou,

²⁴when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.

²⁴Ina tupono taku haere ki Hipania; e tumanako ana hoki ahau kia kite i a koutou i taua haerenga oku, a kia kawea peratia atu ahau e koutou, ina ano ia kia matua rite tetahi wahi o toku ngakau i te kitenga i a koutou;

²⁵And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

²⁵Inaianei ia, e mea ana ahau, e haere ana tenei ahau ki Hiruharama, ki te mahi mea ma te hunga tapu.

²⁶for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem;

²⁶Kua pai hoki a Makeronia raua ko Akaia kia meinga tetahi kohikohi ma nga mea rawakore o te hunga tapu i Hiruharama.

²⁷for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

²⁷Ae ra, i pai ano ratou ki te pera, a e tika ana ano kia hoatu ki a ratou. I te mea kua uru nei nga Tauiwi ki a ratou mea o te wairua, waihoki he tika ano kia mahia e enei etahi mea o te kikokiko ma ratou.

²⁸This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;

²⁸Na, kia oti tenei i ahau, a hiri rawa tenei hua hei mea ma ratou, ka tika atu ahau ma koutou na ki Hipania.

²⁹and I have known that coming unto you — in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.

²⁹A e matau ana ahau, ka haere atu ahau ki a koutou, tera ahau e haere atu i runga i te hua noa iho o te manaakitanga o e rongopai o te Karaiti.

³⁰And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God,

³⁰¶ Na he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, he whakaaro ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, na te aroha hoki o te Wairua, kia tohe tahi koutou me ahau i a koutou inoi ki te Atua moku;

³¹that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;

³¹Kia whakaorangia ahau i te hunga whakateka i Huria; kia manakohia ano e te hunga tapu taku minitatanga mo Hiruharama;

³²that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,

³²Kia haere hari atu ai ahau ki a koutou, ki te pai te Atua, kia whakata tahi ai me koutou.

³³and the God of the peace [be] with you all. Amen.

³³Na, kia noho te Atua o te rangimarie ki a koutou katoa. Amine.
