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

¹Lâo, li ac cau kach'ôl sa' li kapâbâl, chikacuyeb xmâc li toj k'uneb xch'ôl sa' xpâbâleb ut takatenk'aheb sa' li ch'a'ajquilal. Inc'a' chikasic' li us ca'aj cui' chok' ke lâo.

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

²Tento takabânu li us reheb li kech aj pâbanelil re nak te'q'uîk sa' lix pâbâl ut re nak sahak sa' xch'ôleb.

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

³Li Cristo inc'a' quixbânu li quiraj xjunes rib. Quixbânu ban li naraj li Dios. Quixtenk'aheb chixjunileb. Jo'can nak quixc'ul jo' tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Sa' inbên quinak lâ majecuanquil li que'xbânu eb li que'hoboc âcue. (Sal. 69:9)

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

⁴Chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru quitz'îbâc chak najter sa' li Santil Hu, re katzolbal nak quitz'îbâc chak. Nocoxtenk'a re nak inc'a' tâch'inânk li kach'ôl ut naxc'ojob li kach'ôl re nak takacuy roybeninquil nak tâtz'aklok ru li kacolbal.

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

⁵Li Dios chitenk'ânk êre re nak inc'a' tâch'inânk êch'ôl ut a'an chiq'uehok xcacuil lê ch'ôl. A'an chitenk'ânk êre chi cuânc sa' usilal chi ribil êrib ut junajak lê ch'ôl jo' naraj li Jesucristo.

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

⁶Li Dios chitenk'ânk êre re nak junajak lê ch'ôl nak têlok'oni li Acuabej Dios, lix Yucua' li Jesucristo.

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

⁷Chec'ulak sa' êyânk chi sa sa' êch'ôl lê rech aj pâbanelil jo' nak li Cristo coxc'ul lâo. Jo'can chebânuhak re xq'uebal xlok'al li Dios.

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,

⁸Lâin ninye êre nak li Cristo quic'ulun chi c'anjelac chiku lâo aj judío. Riq'uin a'in naxc'utbesi chiku nak li Dios xq'ue li quixyechi'i chak reheb li kaxe'tônil yucua'.

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

⁹Quic'ulun ajcui' chixtenk'anquileb li mâcua'eb aj judío re nak te'xlok'oni li Dios xban nak k'axal nim li ruxtân. Tz'îbanbil chi jo'ca'in sa' li Santil Hu: Jo'can nak lâin tatinlok'oni sa' xyânkeb li mâcua'eb aj judío. Ut tinbichânk ajcui' re âlok'oninquil. (Sal. 18:49)

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

¹⁰Ut naxye ajcui' sa' li Santil Hu chi jo'ca'in: Chisahok' taxak êch'ôl, lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío, êrochbeneb laj judío lix tenamit li Dios. (Deut. 32:43)

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

¹¹Ut naxye cui'chic sa' li Santil Hu: Lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío, chelok'oni li Kâcua' ut chixjunileb taxak li tenamit che'xnimâk ru li Dios. (Sal. 117:1)

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

¹²Tz'îbanbil ajcui' sa' li Santil Hu li quixye laj Isaías: Sa' xyânkeb li ralal xc'ajol laj David li ralal laj Isaí tâc'ulûnk laj Colonel, li xakabanbil xban li Dios. Ut a'an tâcuânk xcuanquil sa' xbêneb li mâcua'eb aj judío. Ut a'an li yôkeb chixyo'oninquil. (Isa. 11:10)

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.

¹³Li Dios a'an li kayo'on. A'an taxak chiq'uehok xsahil êch'ôl chi nabal ut tixq'ue ajcui' êre li tuktûquil usilal xban nak nequexpâban. Xban nak cuan xcuanquil li Santil Musik'ej êriq'uin, cauhak taxak êch'ôl chi oybenînc.

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.

¹⁴Ex hermân, lâin ninnau nak châbilex ut nequenau lix yâlal ut nequeq'ue ajcui' êna'leb chi ribil êrib.

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

¹⁵Abanan sa' li hu a'in cau ca'ch'in li âtin xintz'îba êriq'uin re nak inc'a' tâsachk sa' êch'ôl li xinye. Ninbânu a'in sa' xc'aba' lin c'anjel li quixq'ue cue li Dios.

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.

¹⁶Lâin ninc'anjelac chiru li Jesucristo sa' xyânkeb li mâcua'eb aj judío. Lin c'anjel a'an xch'olobanquil xyâlal li colba-ib re nak eb li mâcua'eb aj judío te'xk'axtesi rib chiru li Dios. Ut li Dios tâsahok' sa' xch'ôl riq'uineb, ut te'santobresîk xban li Santil Musik'ej.

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

¹⁷Ninq'ue xlok'al lin c'anjel xban nak a'an xc'anjel li Dios. Moco injunes ta ninc'anjelac. A' li Cristo natenk'an cue.

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,

¹⁸Mâc'a' inxiu chixyebal resil li c'anjel xinbânu sa' xc'aba' li Cristo nak xinc'anjelac sa' xyânkeb li mâcua'eb aj judío xban nak mâcua' injunes xinc'anjelac. Li Jesucristo xtenk'an cue nak xinc'ameb xbe re nak te'xpâb li Dios riq'uin lin yehom inbânuhom.

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;

¹⁹Xinjultica resil li Jesucristo chiruheb riq'uin li milagros ut li sachba ch'ôlej ut riq'uin xcuanquil li Santil Musik'ej. Yalak bar quinbeni xyebal resil li colba-ib. Quintiquib Jerusalén, ut quinsuti chixjunileb li na'ajej toj retal quincuulac Ilírico.

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.

²⁰Jo'can nak quinq'ue inch'ôl chixyebal resil li Jesucristo bar toj mâji' rabiomeb resil xban nak inc'a' nacuaj c'anjelac sa' li na'ajej ac tiquibanbil cui' c'anjelac junxil.

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

²¹Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Li mâ jun sut yebil resilal li Cristo reheb, te'rabi. Ut nak te'rabi resil, te'xtau xyâlal. (Isa. 52:15)

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

²²Q'uila sut xcuaj raj xic êriq'uin abanan xban nak nabal inc'anjel toj mâji' naxq'ue rib chicuu.

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

²³Ac cuan nabal chihab cuoquic chixc'oxlanquil xic êriq'uin. Ut anakcuan xinchoy lin c'anjel arin sa' li na'ajej cuanquin cui'.

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.

²⁴Ninc'oxla nak toxinnumek' chêrilbal nak tinxic España. Nacuaj rilbal êru re nak tâsahok' inch'ôl ut nacuaj ajcui' nak tinêtenk'a re nak târûk tinxic España.

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

²⁵Ut anakcuan xic cue chi rilbaleb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb aran Jerusalén. Ut tinc'am jun mâtan re xtenk'anquileb.

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.

²⁶Eb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb aran Macedonia ut Acaya x-ala sa' xch'ôleb xtaklanquil jun li mâtan chok' reheb li neba' li cuanqueb sa' xyânkeb li hermân aran Jerusalén.

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.

²⁷Qui-ala sa' xch'ôleb xtenk'anquileb ut us ajcui' nak te'xbânu xban nak eb a'an mâcua'eb aj judío ut sa' xc'aba'eb laj judío nak que'xc'ul li colba-ib. Jo'can nak us nak te'xtenk'aheb laj pâbanel aj judío riq'uin xq'uebal reheb li c'a'ak re ru nac'anjelac chiruheb.

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

²⁸Ut ca'aj cui' toxink'axtesi li tumin a'in, toxinnumek' êriq'uin ut tinxic España.

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

²⁹Nak tincuulak êriq'uin, ninnau nak numtajenak li kosobtesinquil takac'ul xban li Cristo.

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,

³⁰Ex hermân, nintz'âma chêru nak tinêtenk'a sa' lê tij sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo ut sa' xc'aba' ajcui' li rahoc ib li q'uebil ke xban li Santil Musik'ej.

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;

³¹Chextijok chicuix re nak li Dios tâcolok cue chiruheb li inc'a' neque'raj pâbânc aran Judea. Ut chextijok ajcui' re nak eb laj pâbanel aran Jerusalén te'xc'ul lix tenk'anquileb chi saheb sa' xch'ôl.

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

³²Cui li Dios naraj, chincuulak ta êriq'uin chi sa sa' inch'ôl. Ut chisahok' taxak kach'ôl sa' comonil riq'uin xjulticanquil li Cristo nak toxincuânk êriq'uin.A' taxak li Dios, li naq'uehoc tuktûquil usilal, chicuânk êriq'uin chêjunilex. Jo'can taxak.

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

³³A' taxak li Dios, li naq'uehoc tuktûquil usilal, chicuânk êriq'uin chêjunilex. Jo'can taxak.
