¹እኛም ኃይለኞች የሆንን የደካሞችን ድካም እንድንሸከም ራሳችንንም ደስ እንዳናሰኝ ይገባናል።

¹Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

²እያንዳንዳችን እንድናንጸው እርሱን ለመጥቀም ባልንጀራችንን ደስ እናሰኝ።

²Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

³ክርስቶስ ራሱን ደስ አላሰኘምና፤ ነገር ግን። አንተን የነቀፉበት ነቀፋ ወደቀብኝ ተብሎ እንደ ተጻፈ ሆነበት።

³For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” Psalm 69:9

⁴በመጽናትና መጻሕፍት በሚሰጡት መጽናናት ተስፋ ይሆንልን ዘንድ አስቀድሞ የተጻፈው ሁሉ ለትምህርታችን ተጽፎአልና።

⁴For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

⁵በአንድ ልብ ሆናችሁ በአንድ አፍ እግዚአብሔርን፥ እርሱም የጌታችን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ አባት፥ ታከብሩ ዘንድ፥ የትዕግሥትና የመጽናናት አምላክ እንደ ክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ፈቃድ እርስ በርሳችሁ በአንድ አሳብ መሆንን ይስጣችሁ።

⁵Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,

⁷ስለዚህ ክርስቶስ ለእግዚአብሔር ክብር እንደ ተቀበላችሁ እንዲሁ እርስ በርሳችሁ ተቀባበሉ።

⁶that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ለአባቶች የተሰጠውን የተስፋ ቃል ያጸና ዘንድ ደግሞም። ስለዚህ በአሕዛብ መካከል አመሰግንሃለሁ ለስምህም እዘምራለሁ ተብሎ እንደ ተጻፈ፥ አሕዛብ ስለ ምሕረቱ እግዚአብሔርን ያከብሩ ዘንድ፥ ክርስቶስ ስለ እግዚአብሔር እውነት የመገረዝ አገልጋይ ሆነ እላለሁ።

⁷Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, TR reads “us” instead of “you” to the glory of God.

¹⁰ደግሞም። አሕዛብ ሆይ፥ ከሕዝቡ ጋር ደስ ይበላችሁ ይላል።

⁸Now 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,

¹¹ደግሞም። እናንተ አሕዛብ ሁላችሁ፥ ጌታን አመስግኑ ሕዝቦቹም ሁሉ ይወድሱት ይላል።

⁹and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore will I give praise to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.” 2 Samuel 22:50; Psalm 18:49

¹²ደግሞም ኢሳይያስ። የእሴይ ሥር አሕዛብንም ሊገዛ የሚነሣው ይሆናል፤ በእርሱ አሕዛብ ተስፋ ያደርጋሉ ይላል።

¹⁰Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.” Deuteronomy 32:43

¹³የተስፋ አምላክም በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ኃይል በተስፋ እንድትበዙ በማመናችሁ ደስታንና ሰላምን ሁሉ ይሙላባችሁ።

¹¹Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.” Psalm 117:1

¹⁴እኔም ራሴ ደግሞ፥ ወንድሞቼ ሆይ፥ በበጎነት ራሳችሁ እንደ ተሞላችሁ፥ እውቀትም ሁሉ እንደ ሞላባችሁ፥ እርስ በርሳችሁም ደግሞ ልትገሠጹ እንዲቻላችሁ ስለ እናንተ ተረድቼአለሁ።

¹²Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.” Isaiah 11:10

¹⁵ነገር ግን አሕዛብ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ተቀድሰው የተወደደ መሥዋዕት ሊሆኑ፥ ለእግዚአብሔር ወንጌል እንደ ካህን እያገለገልሁ፥ ለአሕዛብ የክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ አገልጋይ እሆን ዘንድ ከእግዚአብሔር በተሰጠኝ ጸጋ ምክንያት ተመልሼ ላሳስባችሁ ብዬ በአንዳንድ ቦታ በድፍረት ጻፍሁላችሁ።

¹³Now 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.

¹⁷እንግዲህ ከእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ በሚሆን ነገር በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ትምክህት አለኝ።

¹⁴I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

¹⁸አሕዛብ እንዲታዘዙ ክርስቶስ በቃልና በሥራ፥ በምልክትና በድንቅ ነገር ኃይል፥ በመንፈስ ቅዱስም ኃይል በእኔ አድርጎ ከሠራው በቀር ምንም ልናገር አልደፍርም፤ ስለዚህ ከኢየሩሳሌም ጀምሬ እስከ እልዋሪቆን ድረስ እየዞርሁ የክርስቶስን ወንጌል ፈጽሜ፤ ሰብኬአለሁ።

¹⁵But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

²⁰እንዲሁም በሌላው ሰው መሠረት ላይ እንዳልሠራ የክርስቶስ ስም በተጠራበት ስፍራ ሳይሆን ወንጌልን ለመስበክ ተጣጣርሁ፤

¹⁶that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

²¹ነገር ግን። ስለ እርሱ ያልተወራላቸው ያያሉ፥ ያልሰሙም ያስተውላሉ ተብሎ እንደ ተጻፈ ነው።

¹⁷I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

²²ስለዚህ ደግሞ ወደ እናንተ እንዳልመጣ ብዙ ጊዜ ተከለከልሁ።

¹⁸For 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,

²³አሁን ግን በዚህ አገር ስፍራ ወደ ፊት ስለሌለኝ፥ ከብዙ ዓመትም ጀምሬ ወደ እናንተ ልመጣ ናፍቆት ስላለኝ፥

¹⁹in 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;

²⁴ወደ እስጳንያ በሄድሁ ጊዜ ሳልፍ እናንተን እንዳይ፥ አስቀድሜም ጥቂት ብጠግባችሁ ወደዚያ በጉዞዬ እንድትረዱኝ ተስፋ አደርጋለሁ።

²⁰yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.

²⁵አሁን ግን ቅዱሳንን ለማገልገል ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም እሄዳለሁ።

²¹But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.” Isaiah 52:15

²⁶መቄዶንያና አካይያ በኢየሩሳሌም ቅዱሳን መካከል ያሉትን ድሆች ይረዱ ዘንድ ወደዋልና።

²²Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,

²⁷ወደዋልና፥ የእነርሱም ባለ ዕዳዎች ናቸው፤ አሕዛብ በእነርሱ መንፈሳዊ ነገርን ተካፋዮች ከሆኑ በሥጋዊ ነገር ደግሞ ያገለግሉአቸው ዘንድ ይገባቸዋልና።

²³but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

²⁸እንግዲህ ይህን ፈጽሜ ይህን ፍሬ ካተምሁላቸው በኋላ በእናንተ በኩል አልፌ ወደ እስጳንያ እሄዳለሁ፤

²⁴whenever I journey 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.

²⁹ወደ እናንተም ስመጣ በክርስቶስ በረከት ሙላት እንድመጣ አውቃለሁ።

²⁵But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

³⁰ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ ስለ እኔ ወደ እግዚአብሔር እየጸለያችሁ ከእኔ ጋር ትጋደሉ ዘንድ በጌታችን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስና በመንፈስ ፍቅር እለምናችኋለሁ፤

²⁶For 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.

³¹በእግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ በደስታ ወደ እናንተ መጥቼ ከእናንተ ጋር እንዳርፍ፥ በይሁዳ ካሉት ከማይታዘዙ እድን ዘንድ፥ ለኢየሩሳሌምም ያለኝ አገልግሎቴ ቅዱሳንን ደስ የሚያሰኝ ይሆን ዘንድ ጸልዩ።

²⁷Yes, 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 fleshly things.

³³የሰላምም አምላክ ከሁላችሁ ጋር ይሁን፤ አሜን።

²⁸When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

²⁹I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

³⁰Now 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,

³¹that 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;

³²that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.

³³Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
