¹Aga meie, kes oleme tugevad, peame kandma jõuetute nõrkusi ega tohi elada enese meeleheaks.

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

²Igaüks meist olgu meelepärane ligimese heaks tema ülesehitamiseks.

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

³Kristuski ei taotlenud iseenesele meelepärast, vaid nagu on kirjutatud: 'Nende teotamised, kes sind teotavad, on langenud minu peale.'

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

⁴Sest mis iganes enne on kirjutatud, see on kirjutatud meile õpetuseks, et meil kannatlikkuse ja Pühakirja julgustuse kaudu oleks lootust.

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

⁵Kannatlikkuse ja julgustuse Jumal aga andku teile, et te mõtleksite sedasama omavahel Kristuse Jeesuse eeskuju kohaselt,

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

⁶et te ühel meelel ja ühest suust ülistaksite Jumalat ja meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse Isa.

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

⁷Seepärast võtke vastu üksteist, nõnda nagu ka Kristus on meid vastu võtnud Jumala kirkuseks.

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

⁸Sest ma ütlen, et Jeesus Kristus on saanud ümberlõigatute teenriks Jumala tõe pärast - esiisadele antud tõotuse kindlustamiseks -,

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,

⁹et paganad hakkaksid Jumalat ülistama halastuse eest, nagu on kirjutatud: 'Seepärast ma tunnistan sind paganate ees ja laulan kiitust sinu nimele.'

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

¹⁰Ja taas ta ütleb: 'Rõõmustage, paganad, koos tema rahvaga!'

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

¹¹Ja taas: 'Kiitke Issandat, kõik paganad, ja kiitke teda, kõik rahvad!'

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

¹²Ja Jesaja ütleb taas: 'Iisai juur tuleb ja see, kes hakkab valitsema paganate üle; tema peale panevad paganad lootuse!'

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

¹³Aga lootuse Jumal täitku teid kõige rõõmu ja rahuga usus, et teil oleks küllaga lootust Püha Vaimu väes!

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.

¹⁴Mu vennad, ma olen veendunud, et te olete täidetud headuse ja kõiksugu tunnetusega ning suudate ka üksteist manitseda.

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.

¹⁵Kohati olen ma teile üsna julgesti kirjutanud, nagu teile meeldetuletuseks, toetudes Jumala poolt mulle antud armule -

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

¹⁶olla Kristuse Jeesuse teener paganate seas, tehes Jumala evangeeliumi preestritööd, et paganate ohver oleks meelepärane, Püha Vaimu läbi pühitsetud.

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.

¹⁷Ma võin siis Kristuses Jeesuses kiidelda sellest, mis on Jumalast,

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

¹⁸sest ma julgen ju rääkida ainult sellest, mida Kristus paganate kuulekuseks on teinud minu kaudu sõna ja teoga,

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,

¹⁹tunnustähtede ja imetegude väe läbi, Jumala Vaimu väe läbi, nii et ma, alustades Jeruusalemmast ja liikudes ümberringi Illüüriani, olen Kristuse evangeeliumi kuulutamise lõpule viinud.

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;

²⁰Aga ma olen endale pidanud auasjaks mitte kuulutada evangeeliumi seal, kus Kristust juba on nimetatud, et ma ei ehitaks teiste poolt pandud alusele,

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.

²¹vaid nagu on kirjutatud: 'Need, kellele ei ole temast midagi kuulutatud, näevad ja need, kes ei ole kuulnud, hakkavad mõistma.'

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

²²Seepärast ongi mind palju kordi takistatud teie juurde tulemast.

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

²³Et mul nüüd ei ole aga neil aladel enam kohta ja ma olen nii palju aastaid igatsenud tulla teie juurde,

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

²⁴siis Hispaaniasse reisides loodan ma teid näha ja teie saatel jõuda sinna, kui ma esmalt olen teie keskel end natuke kosutanud.

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.

²⁵Aga nüüd ma lähen Jeruusalemma püha rahvast abistama.

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

²⁶Makedoonial ja Ahhaial on olnud meeltmööda üht-teist jagada osaduseanniks vaestele Jeruusalemma pühade seas.

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.

²⁷Neile on see olnud meelepärane. Ka on nad nende võlglased, sest kui paganad on saanud osa nende vaimulikest andidest, siis on ka nende kohus teenida neid aineliselt.

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.

²⁸Kui ma siis sellega olen valmis saanud ja selle vilja neile ustavalt üle andnud, tulen ma teie kaudu Hispaaniasse.

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

²⁹Aga ma tean, et teie juurde tulles tulen ma Kristuse rohke õnnistusega.

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

³⁰Ma kutsun teid üles, vennad, meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse läbi ja Vaimu armastuse läbi võitlema koos minuga palvetes Jumala poole minu eest,

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,

³¹et ma pääseksin uskmatute käest Juudamaal ja et mu teenistus Jeruusalemma heaks oleks pühadele meelepärane

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;

³²ning et ma Jumala tahtel võiksin rõõmuga tulla teie juurde ja koos teiega leiaksin hingamist.

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

³³Aga rahu Jumal olgu teie kõikidega! Aamen.

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