Romans 15
New International Version
Romans 15
New International Version
15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(A) and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(B) to build them up.(C) 3 For even Christ did not please himself(D) but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a](E) 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,(F) so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(G) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(H) the God and Father(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Accept one another,(J) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b](K) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(L) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(M) might glorify God(N) for his mercy. As it is written:
10 Again, it says,
11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
“The Root of Jesse(R) will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”[f](S)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(T) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(U)
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,(V) filled with knowledge(W) and competent to instruct one another. 15 Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me(X) 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.(Y) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,(Z) so that the Gentiles might become an offering(AA) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus(AB) in my service to God.(AC) 18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles(AD) to obey God(AE) by what I have said and done— 19 by the power of signs and wonders,(AF) through the power of the Spirit of God.(AG) So from Jerusalem(AH) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.(AI) 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel(AJ) where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.(AK) 21 Rather, as it is written:
22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.(AM)
Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome
23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,(AN) 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.(AO) I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist(AP) me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem(AQ) in the service(AR) of the Lord’s people(AS) there. 26 For Macedonia(AT) and Achaia(AU) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.(AV) 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.(AW) 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain(AX) and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,(AY) I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,(AZ) to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.(BA) 31 Pray that I may be kept safe(BB) from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution(BC) I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people(BD) there, 32 so that I may come to you(BE) with joy, by God’s will,(BF) and in your company be refreshed.(BG) 33 The God of peace(BH) be with you all. Amen.

Ròm 15
Haitian Creole Version
15 ¶ Nou menm ki fò nan konfyans nou nan Bondye, se pou nou ede sa ki fèb yo pote feblès yo. Nou pa dwe ap chache sa ki fè nou plezi sèlman.
2 Okontrè, se pou nou chak chache fè frè parèy nou plezi pou byen l', konsa n'a fè l' grandi nan konfyans li nan Bondye.
3 Paske Kris la pa t' chache sa ki te fè l' plezi, men dapre sa ki ekri a: Moun ki t'ap joure ou yo, se tankou si se mwen menm yo t'ap joure.
4 Se konsa, tou sa ki te ekri nan Liv la depi nan tan lontan, yo te ekri yo pou moutre nou anpil bagay, wi, pou bagay nou jwenn ekri nan Liv la ka ban nou pasyans ak ankourajman pou n' ka mete tout espwa nou nan Bondye.
5 ¶ Se pou Bondye ki bay pasyans ak ankourajman an fè nou viv byen yonn ak lòt, pou nou ka swiv egzanp nou jwenn nan Jezikri.
6 Konsa, n'a mete kè nou ak bouch nou ansanm pou fè lwanj Bondye, papa Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
7 ¶ Se pou yonn asepte lòt jan l' ye a, menm jan Kris la te asepte nou an pou sa te tounen yon lwanj pou Bondye.
8 Men sa m' vle di: Kris la te fè tèt li sèvitè jwif yo pou l' te ka fè pwomès Bondye te fè zansèt nou yo rive vre, epi pou l' te moutre jan Bondye kenbe pawòl li.
9 Men, li te vini pou moun lòt nasyon yo tou, pou yo te ka fè lwanj Bondye pou jan li gen kè sansib, jan sa te ekri nan Liv la: Se poutèt sa m'a fè lwanj ou nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Se poutèt sa m'a chante pou non ou.
10 Liv la di ankò: Nou menm moun lòt nasyon yo, fè kè nou kontan ansanm avèk pèp Bondye chwazi a.
11 Li di ankò: Fè lwanj Mèt la, nou menm moun lòt nasyon yo! Wi, se pou tout pèp yo fè lwanj li!
12 Ezayi di tou: Li gen pou l' vini, pitit pitit Izayi a. Li va parèt pou gouvènen lòt nasyon yo. Nasyon yo va mete espwa yo nan li.
13 ¶ Mwen mande Bondye ki bay espwa a pou l' fè kè nou kontan nèt, pou l' fè kè nou poze ak konfyans nou gen nan li a. Se konsa espwa nou va toujou ap grandi ak pouvwa Sentespri a.
14 ¶ Frè m' yo, mwen gen fèm konviksyon nou gen kont bon santiman nan kè nou, nou gen kont konesans sou nou pou yonn ka bay lòt konsèy.
15 Men, mwen te penmèt mwen ekri nou sou anpil pwen nan lèt mwen an pou mwen te ka fè nou chonje sa nou te konnen deja. Mwen te penmèt mwen fè sa poutèt favè Bondye te fè m' lan,
16 pou m' te sèvi Jezikri pandan m'ap travay nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo. Lè m'ap fè konnen bon nouvèl Bondye a, se yon sèvis apa pou Bondye m'ap rann, pou moun lòt nasyon yo ka tounen yon ofrann ki fè Bondye plezi, yon ofrann yo mete apa pou Bondye ak pouvwa Sentespri a.
17 ¶ Se pou sa, mwen gen dwa kontan nèt pou travay m'ap fè ansanm ak Jezikri pou Bondye.
18 -(we vèsè pwochen)
19 Wi, m'ap penmèt mwen fè nou konnen sèlman sa Kris la te fè m' fè ak sa li te fè m' di, avèk fòs mirak ak bèl bagay ak pouvwa Lespri Bondye a. Tou sa, pou mennen moun lòt nasyon yo vin nan pye Bondye pou obeyi li. Se konsa, depi lavil Jerizalèm jouk nan peyi Iliri, mwen pa manke mache bay bon nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la toupatou.
20 Men, lanbisyon m' se te pou m' fè konnen bon nouvèl la sèlman kote moun pa t' ankò janm tande nonmen non Kris la, pou m' pa t' bati sou fondasyon lòt moun te poze,
21 jan sa te ekri nan Liv la: Moun ki pa t' ankò konnen l' yo va wè. Moun ki pa t' ankò tande nonmen non l' yo va konprann.
22 ¶ Se rezon sa a ki te anpeche mwen anpil fwa al lakay nou.
23 Men, koulye a, mwen pa gen anyen ki kenbe m' nan peyi sa yo ankò. Depi lontan mwen fè lide ale wè nou.
24 Mwen ta renmen fè sa lè mapral an Espay lan. Wi, mwen gen espwa pase wè nou pou nou kapab ede m' ale nan peyi sa a, apre m'a fin pase kèk bon moman nan mitan nou.
25 Men, koulye a, mwen pral Jerizalèm pou m' ka rann moun k'ap viv apa pou Bondye yo yon sèvis.
26 Legliz ki nan peyi Masedwan ak nan peyi Lakayi yo te pran sou yo pou yo te fè yon ofrann pou ede pòv ki nan pèp Bondye a lavil Jerizalèm.
27 Se yo menm menm ki te fè lide sa a. Men, pou di vre, yo te dwe pòv yo sa. Paske, menm jan jwif yo te separe benediksyon ki soti nan Lespri Bondye a avèk moun ki pa t' jwif yo, konsa tou, moun ki pa jwif yo gen pou devwa pou rann yo sèvis avèk byen latè yo.
28 Lè m'a fini avèk zafè sa a, le m'a renmèt tout lajan yo te ranmase a nan men, lè sa a m'a pati pou Espay, m'a pase wè nou sou wout.
29 Mwen konnen le m'a rive wè nou an, se avèk tout benediksyon Kris la m'a rive.
30 ¶ Men sa m' mande nou, frè m' yo: nan non Jezikri, Seyè nou an, nan non renmen Lespri a ban nou, tanpri, pa lage m' nan batay la pou kont mwen, lapriyè Bondye pou mwen.
31 Lapriyè pou m' ka delivre anba moun Jide yo ki pa vle kwè. Lapriyè tou pou moun k'ap viv apa pou Bondye nan lavil Jerizalèm, pou yo ka byen resevwa lajan m'ap pote ba yo a.
32 Konsa, si Bondye vle, m'a rive lakay nou ak kè kontan, epi m'a pran yon ti repo nan mitan nou.
33 Se pou Bondye ki bay kè poze a avèk nou tout. Amèn.
