Romans 15

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Ko te mahi tika ma tatou, ma te hunga kaha, he pikau i nga ngoikoretanga o te hunga kahakore; kaua hoki e whai i ta tatou ake i ahuareka ia.

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

Me whai tena, tena o tatou kia ahuareka mai tona hoa, tona hoa mo te mea e pai ana hei hanga i tona whakapono.

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

Kihai hoki a te Karaiti i whai ki tana ake i ahuareka ai; engari i rite ki te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, Ko nga tawainga a te hunga e tawai ana i a koe kua tau ki ahau.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Ko nga mea katoa hoki i tuhituhia i mua he mea tuhituhi hei whakaako i a tatou, kia whai tumanakohanga ai tatou, i te mea ka whakamanawanui, ka whakamarietia hoki e nga karaipiture.

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

Heoi ma te Atua o te manawanui, o te whakamarie, e hoatu ki a koutou kia kotahi te whakaaro o tetahi ki tetahi, kia rite ki ta Karaiti Ihu:

That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Kia kotahi ai te whakaaro, kia kotahi ai te mangai, e whakakororia ai koutou i te Atua, ara i te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Na, me whakahoa koutou tetahi ki tetahi, kia rite ki a te Karaiti i mea nei i a tatou hei hoa mona, kia whai kororia ai te Atua.

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

Ko taku kupu hoki tenei, i meinga a te Karaiti hei minita ki te kotinga, he whakaaro ki te pono o te Atua, kia u ai nga mea i whakaaria ki nga matua:

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

Kia whakakororia ai hoki nga Tauiwi i te Atua mo tana mahi tohu, kia pera ai me te mea i tuhituhia, Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe i waenganui o nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.

And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

Tenei ano tetahi kupu ana, Kia hari tahi, e nga Tauiwi, me tana iwi.

And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

Tenei ano hoki, Whakamoemititia te Ariki, e nga Tauiwi katoa; whakamoemititia ano ia, e nga iwi katoa.

And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

E mea ana hoki a Ihaia, Tera e whai pakiaka a Hehe, me tetahi e whakatika ake ana hei rangatira mo nga Tauiwi; ko ia hei tumanakohanga ma nga Tauiwi.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Na, ma te Atua, nana nei te tumanako, e whakaki koutou ki te hari katoa, ki te rangimarie, i runga i te whakapono, kia hua ai to koutou tumanako, i runga i te kaha o te Wairua Tapu.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Na e u ana toku ake whakaaro ki a koutou, e oku teina, e ki ana koutou i te pai, whawhao rawa ki te matauranga katoa, a e taea ano e koutou te tohutohu tetahi i tetahi.

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

Otiia i nui ake ai toku maia ki te tuhituhi penei ki a koutou, e oku teina, he whakamahara ano i a koutou, he mea na te aroha noa kua homai nei ki ahau e te Atua.

That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

I meinga ai ahau hei minita ma Ihu Karaiti ki nga tauiwi, hei minita i te rongopai o te Atua, kia manakohia ai te whakahere o nga tauiwi, he mea whakatapu na te Wairua Tapu.

I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.

Na, kua whai whakamanamanatanga nei ahau i roto i a Karaiti Ihu i nga mea a te Atua.

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

E kore hoki ahau e maia ki te korero ki etahi mea, ko nga mea anake kua mahia e te Karaiti na roto i ahau, hei mea kia ngohengohe mai nga Tauiwi, ara na taku kupu, na taku mahi,

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

I runga i te kaha o nga tohu, o nga mea whakamiharo, i runga i te kaha o te Wairua Tapu; no ka whakapaua e ahau te kauwhau i te rongopai o te Karaiti atu i Hiruharama, a taka noa ki Iririkuma rawa;

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

Ae ra, ko ia tenei taku tohe ki te kauwhau i te rongopai, ehara i te mea ki nga wahi kua whakahuatia nei a te Karaiti ki reira, kei hanga whare ahau ki runga ki a tetahi atu turanga:

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

Engari kia rite ki te mea i tuhituhia, E kite te hunga kihai nei i korerotia ia ki a ratou, a e matau te hunga kihai i rongo.

For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

Na konei ano i maha ai oku whakawarenga, te tae atu ai ahau ki a koutou.

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;

Otiia inaianei, kua kore nei he wahi moku i enei whenua, a, i te mea he maha nga tau i wawata ai ahau kia tae atu ki a koutou,

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

Ina tupono taku haere ki Hipania; e tumanako ana hoki ahau kia kite i a koutou i taua haerenga oku, a kia kawea peratia atu ahau e koutou, ina ano ia kia matua rite tetahi wahi o toku ngakau i te kitenga i a koutou;

But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

Inaianei ia, e mea ana ahau, e haere ana tenei ahau ki Hiruharama, ki te mahi mea ma te hunga tapu.

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

Kua pai hoki a Makeronia raua ko Akaia kia meinga tetahi kohikohi ma nga mea rawakore o te hunga tapu i Hiruharama.

It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.

Ae ra, i pai ano ratou ki te pera, a e tika ana ano kia hoatu ki a ratou. I te mea kua uru nei nga Tauiwi ki a ratou mea o te wairua, waihoki he tika ano kia mahia e enei etahi mea o te kikokiko ma ratou.

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

Na, kia oti tenei i ahau, a hiri rawa tenei hua hei mea ma ratou, ka tika atu ahau ma koutou na ki Hipania.

And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

A e matau ana ahau, ka haere atu ahau ki a koutou, tera ahau e haere atu i runga i te hua noa iho o te manaakitanga o e rongopai o te Karaiti.

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Na he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, he whakaaro ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, na te aroha hoki o te Wairua, kia tohe tahi koutou me ahau i a koutou inoi ki te Atua moku;

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

Kia whakaorangia ahau i te hunga whakateka i Huria; kia manakohia ano e te hunga tapu taku minitatanga mo Hiruharama;

That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

Kia haere hari atu ai ahau ki a koutou, ki te pai te Atua, kia whakata tahi ai me koutou.

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

Na, kia noho te Atua o te rangimarie ki a koutou katoa. Amine.
