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

¹Dolžni pa smo mi, ki smo močni, nositi slabosti slabotnih in ne samim sebi pogodu delati.

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

²Vsak izmed vas bodi bližnjemu pogodu, v dobro, za njegov napredek.

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

³Kajti tudi Kristus ni sebi pogodu storil, temuč kakor je pisano: „Zasramovanje tistih, ki so tebe zasramovali, je zadelo mene“.

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

⁴Karkoli se je namreč poprej napisalo, je pisano nam v pouk, da imamo po potrpežljivosti in po tolažbi pisem upanje.

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

⁵A Bog potrpežljivosti in tolažbe vam daj ene misli biti med seboj po Kristusu Jezusu,

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

⁶da enodušno, z enimi usti slavite Boga in Očeta Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa.

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

⁷Zato sprejemajte drug drugega, kakor je tudi Kristus sprejel vas, Bogu v slavo.

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,

⁸Pravim namreč, da je Kristus postal služabnik obreze zavoljo resnice Božje, da bi potrdil obljube, dane očetom,

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

⁹pogani pa da zavoljo usmiljenja proslavljajo Boga, kakor je pisano: „Zato te bom pripoznaval med pogani in imenu tvojemu prepeval“.

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

¹⁰In zopet pravi: „Veselite se, pogani, ž njegovim ljudstvom“.

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

¹¹In zopet: „Hvalite Gospoda, vsi pogani, in slavite ga, vsa ljudstva“.

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

¹²In zopet Izaija pravi: „Pride korenina Jesejeva in on, ki vstane, da gospoduje poganom; vanj bodo upali pogani“.

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.

¹³Bog upanja pa naj vas napolni z vsem veseljem in mirom v verovanju, da ste prebogati v upanju, v moči svetega Duha.

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.

¹⁴Prepričan sem pa, bratje moji, tudi jaz sam za vas, da ste tudi vi sami polni dobrote, napolnjeni vsakega znanja, sposobni tudi drug drugega opominjati.

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

¹⁵Pa sem vam po nekoliko drzneje pisal, da vam oživim v spominu to, kar že veste, zaradi milosti, ki mi jo je dal Bog,

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.

¹⁶da bi bil služabnik Kristusa Jezusa za pogane, opravljajoč sveto službo evangelija Božjega, da postane daritev poganov prijetna, posvečena v svetem Duhu.

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

¹⁷Imam se torej s čim hvaliti v Kristusu Jezusu v tem, kar zadeva Boga.

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,

¹⁸Kajti ne drznem se govoriti kaj, česar ni napravil Kristus po meni za izpreobrnjenje poganov k poslušnosti, z besedo in z dejanjem,

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;

¹⁹v moči znamenj in čudežev, v moči svetega Duha; tako da sem od Jeruzalema in po sosednjih krajih tja so Ilirije povsod razširil evangelij Kristusov;

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.

²⁰pri tem pa mi je bilo najbolj do tega, da ne oznanjam evangelija tam, kjer se je že imenoval Kristus, da bi ne zidal na tuji podlagi,

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

²¹marveč kakor je pisano: „Katerim se ni oznanilo o njem, bodo videli, in kateri niso slišali, bodo razumeli“.

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

²²To me je tudi najbolj oviralo, da nisem prišel k vam.

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

²³Sedaj pa, ko mi ni več mesta v teh krajih, željo pa imam priti k vam že več let,

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.

²⁴kadar pojdem na Špansko, pridem k vam. Upam vas namreč videti, potujoč skozi Rim, in da me boste spremili tja, ko se pri vas prej nekoliko poživim.

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

²⁵Sedaj pa potujem v Jeruzalem služit svetim.

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.

²⁶Macedonija in Ahaja sta namreč sklenili nabrati nekak sklad za uboge onih svetih, ki so v Jeruzalemu.

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.

²⁷Tako sta sklenili, in tudi dolžni sta jim: kajti če so pogani postali deležniki njih duhovnih stvari, so jim dolžni tudi v telesnih stvareh postreči.

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

²⁸Ko torej to izvršim in jim zapečatim ta sad ljubezni, odpotujem preko vas na Špansko.

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

²⁹Kadar pa pridem k vam, vem, da pridem v obilosti blagoslova Kristusovega.

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,

³⁰Prosim pa vas, bratje, po Gospodu našem Jezusu Kristusu in po ljubezni Duha, da se borite z menoj vred v molitvah zame k Bogu:

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;

³¹da se rešim tistih, ki ne verujejo v Judeji, in da bode moja služba, ki me pelje v Jeruzalem, prijetna svetim;

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

³²da v radosti pridem k vam po volji Božji in si skupaj z vami odpočijem.A Bog miru bodi z vsemi vami. Amen.

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

³³A Bog miru bodi z vsemi vami. Amen.
