Římanům 1
1 Pavel, služebník Jezukristův, povolaný apoštol, oddělený k kázaní evangelium Božího,
[I], Paul, who serve Christ Jesus, [am writing this letter]. God chose me to be an apostle, and I was appointed by him {he appointed me} in order that [I should proclaim] (the good message/the gospel) that [comes from him].
2 (Kteréžto zdávna zaslíbil skrze proroky své v Písmích svatých, )
Long before [Jesus came to earth, God] promised [that he would reveal] this good message by means of what his prophets [wrote] in the sacred Scriptures.
3 O Synu jeho, (zplozeném z semene Davidova s strany těla,
This good message is [about the one whom we know as] his Son. As to his Son’s physical/human nature, he was born a descendant of [King] David.
4 Kterýž prokázán jest býti Synem Božím mocně, podle Ducha posvěcení, skrze z mrtvých vstání, ) totiž o Ježíši Kristu, Pánu našem,
As to his divine nature, it was shown {[God] showed} powerfully that he is (God’s own Son/the man who is also God). [God] showed this by his Holy Spirit causing him to become alive again after he died. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
5 Skrze něhožto jsme přijali milost a apoštolství ku poslušenství víry mezi všemi národy pro jméno jeho,
He is the one who appointed me, who did not deserve it, [to be] an apostle. He did that in order that [many] among the non-Jews would honor [him] and would obey him as a result of their believing [my message about him].
6 Z nichžto i vy jste povolaní Ježíše Krista,
You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 Všechněm, kteříž jste v Římě, milým Božím, povolaným svatým: Milost vám a pokoj od Boha Otce našeho a Pána Ježíše Krista.
[I am writing this letter] to all of [you in Rome] whom God loves and whom he has chosen [to become his] people. [I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will [continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
8 Nejprve pak díky činím Bohu svému skrze Ježíše Krista ze všech vás, že víra vaše rozhlašuje se po všem světě.
As I begin [this letter], I thank my God for all you [believers in Rome]. It is because of [what] Jesus Christ [has done for us that] I [am able to do that]. I thank him because your trusting [in Jesus Christ] is something that people all over [the Roman Empire] [HYP] are talking about.
9 Svědek mi jest zajisté Bůh, kterémužto sloužím duchem mým v evangelium Syna jeho, žeť bez přestání zmínku o vás činím,
God, whom I devotedly serve as I [proclaim to people] the gospel concerning his Son, knows that I tell the truth when I say that I always mention you whenever [DOU] I pray [to God] [HYP].
10 Vždycky na svých modlitbách žádaje, abych aspoň někdy mohl šťastně k vám, byla-li by vůle Boží, přijíti.
I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
11 Neboť velice žádám viděti vás, abych vám udělil částku nějakou milosti duchovní ku potvrzení vašemu,
[I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
12 To jest, abych spolu s vámi potěšen byl, skrze společnou i vaši i mou víru.
I long to visit you in order that you and I might encourage each other [by means of our sharing with each other] how each of us trusts [in Jesus].
13 Nechciť pak, bratří, abyste nevěděli, žeť jsem mnohokrát již uložil přijíti k vám, (ale překážky jsem měl až dosavad, ) abych nějaký užitek také i mezi vámi měl, jako i mezi jinými národy.
My fellow believers, many times I planned to visit you. I certainly want you to know [LIT] that. [But I have not been able to come to you because] I have been hindered {[things] have always prevented me} until the present time. I have wanted to come in order that I might help you to mature spiritually [IDM], as [I have helped people to mature spiritually] in many other non-Jewish groups [HYP].
14 Nebo Řekům i kterýmkoli jiným národům, i moudrým i nemoudrým, dlužník jsem.
I feel obliged [to proclaim the gospel to all non-Jewish people], specifically to [people who know] the Greek [language and culture] and to those who do not know it, to people who are educated and to those who are uneducated.
15 A tak, pokudž na mně jest, hotov jsem i vám, kteříž v Římě jste, zvěstovati evangelium.
So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
16 Neboť se nestydím za evangelium Kristovo; moc zajisté Boží jest k spasení každému věřícímu, Židu předně, potom i Řeku.
[That leads me to say that] I very confidently proclaim [LIT] the good message [about what Christ has done], because this good message is the powerful [means] that God [uses] to save [from the guilt of their sins] all people who trust [in what Christ has done for them]. Specifically, God first has saved the Jews [who believe the good message], and then he has saved non-Jews.
17 Nebo spravedlnost Boží zjevuje se skrze ně z víry u víru, jakož psáno jest: Spravedlivý pak z víry živ bude.
By means of this good message God reveals how he erases the record of people’s sins (OR, declares people no longer guilty for having sinned); and his doing this is entirely because [IDM] they trust [in Christ. This is confirmed] by what [a prophet long ago] wrote [that God said], “Those (whose record of sin [I] have erased/whom [I] have declared no longer guilty for sin) because they trust [in me] will live [forever].”
18 Zjevuje se zajisté hněv Boží s nebe proti každé bezbožnosti a nepravosti lidí, pravdu Boží v nepravosti zadržujících.
From [where God rules in] heaven he is making it clear to all [non-Jewish] people who show no respect for God and who do wicked things, that he is angry with them [and that they deserve to be punished] {[that he would punish them]} [MTY]. By means of [their behaving] wickedly, they keep other people [from believing what they know] to be true [about God].
19 Nebo což poznáno býti může o Bohu, známé jest jim učiněno, Bůh zajisté zjevil jim.
[Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
20 Nebo neviditelné věci jeho mohou vidíny býti, když z skutků při stvoření světa stalých rozumem pochopeny bývají, totiž ta jeho věčná moc a Božství, tak aby již byli bez výmluvy, (aïdios g126)
[People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios g126)
21 Protože poznavše Boha, nectili jako Boha, ani jemu děkovali, ale marní učiněni jsou v myšleních svých, a zatmíno jest nemoudré srdce jejich.
Although [the non-Jews] knew what God [is like], they did not honor him as God, nor did they thank [him for what he had done]. But instead, they began to think foolish [things about him], and they became unable to understand [MET] [what he wanted them to know].
22 Měvše se za moudré, blázni učiněni jsou.
Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
23 Nebo směnili slávu neporušitelného Boha v slávu podobenství obraza porušitelného člověka, i ptactva, i hovad čtvernohých, i zeměplazů.
and they refused to [admit that] God is glorious and will never die. Instead, they made and worshipped idols [that resembled people who] will some day die, and [then they made other idols that resembled] birds and four-footed animals, and [finally] they made idols that resembled reptiles.
24 Protož i Bůh vydal je v žádosti srdce jejich, v nečistotu, aby zprznili těla svá vespolek,
So God allowed [the non-Jews] do immoral sexual things that they [SYN] strongly desired, things [that their desires were compelling them to do]. As a result, they [began to] dishonor each other’s bodies [by their sexual actions].
25 Jakožto ty, kteříž jsou směnili pravdu Boží za lež, a ctili i sloužili stvoření raději nežli Stvořiteli, kterýž jest požehnaný na věky. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn g165)
26 Protož je vydal Bůh v žádosti ohavné. Nebo i ženy jejich změnily přirozené sebe užívání v to, kteréž jest proti přirození.
So, God allowed [the non-Jews to do] shameful [sexual] things that they [strongly] desired. As a result, many women did not have natural sexual relations [with their husbands] [EUP]. Instead, they were doing sexual actions with other women [EUP].
27 A podobně i mužské pohlaví, opustivše přirozené užívání ženy, rozpálili se v žádostech svých jedni k druhým, mužské pohlaví vespolek mrzkost pášíce, a tak spravedlivou mzdu, kteráž na jejich blud slušela, sami na sebe uvodíce.
Similarly, [many] men stopped having/did not have natural sexual relations with women [EUP]. Instead, they strongly desired to have sexual relations with other men. They committed [homosexual] acts with other men, acts that were shameful. As a result, [God has] punished them [by sicknesses] in their bodies, which is what they deserve [because] they [thought] wrongly [that God would not punish them for doing that].
28 A jakož sobě málo vážili známosti Boha, takž také Bůh vydal je v převrácený smysl, aby činili to, což nesluší,
Furthermore, because they decided that it was not [worthwhile] to know God, he allowed their own worthless thoughts [to completely control them]. As a result, they began doing [evil] things that [God says that people] should not do.
29 Jsouce naplněni vší nepravostí, zlostí, smilstvem, nešlechetností, lakomstvím, plní závisti, vraždy, svárů, lsti, zlých obyčejů,
They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] unrighteous [things]. They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] evil things [to others]. They strongly desire to possess things that [belong to others]. They strongly desire to harm [others] in various ways. [Many non-Jews] are constantly envying [other people. Many] constantly desire to murder [people. Many] constantly desire to cause strife [between people. Many] constantly desire to deceive [others. Many] constantly desire to speak hatefully [about others] (OR, [to speak harmful things about others, things that are not true]). [Many] gossip [about others].
30 Utrhači, pomluvači, Boha nenávidící, hanliví, pyšní, chlubní, nalezači zlých věcí, rodičů neposlušní,
[Many] slander [others. Many] act especially hatefully toward God. [Many] speak or act in an insulting way [toward others. Many] treat others contemptuously. [Many] boast [about themselves to others. Many] invent new ways to do evil things. [Many non-Jewish children] disobey their parents.
31 Nemoudří, smluv nezdrželiví, beze vší lítosti, neukojitelní a nemilosrdní.
[Many non-Jews] act in other morally foolish ways. [Many] do not do what they promised [others that they would do. Many] do not [even] love [their own family members. And many] do not act mercifully [toward other people].
32 Kteřížto vědouce o tom právu Božím, že ti, kteříž takové věci činí, hodni jsou smrti, avšak netoliko ty věci činí, ale i jiným též činícím nakládají.
Although they know that God has declared that those who do such things deserve to be killed, they not only habitually do these [kinds of evil] things, but they also approve of others who habitually do them.
