Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
Pauluselt, Kristuse Jeesuse sulaselt, kes on kutsutud apostliks ja valitud levitama Jumala evangeeliumi,
2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
mida Jumal on oma prohvetite kaudu Pühakirjas ette tõotanud,
3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
sõnumit tema Pojast – kes maises elus pärines Taaveti soost
4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
ja on pühaduse Vaimu väes kinnitatud Jumala Pojaks pärast surnuist ülestõusmist – Jeesusest Kristusest, meie Issandast.
5 Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
Tema läbi me oleme saanud armu ja apostliameti, et levitada usukuulekust tema nime auks mittejuutide keskel,
6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
kelle hulgas teiegi olete kutsutud kuuluma Jeesusele Kristusele.
7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Kõigile Jumala armastatuile Roomas, teile, keda tema on kutsunud pühaks rahvaks: Armu ja rahu teile meie Isalt Jumalalt ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.
Kõigepealt ma tänan oma Jumalat Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu teie kõigi eest, sest teie usust kõneldakse kogu maailmas.
9 God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
Sest Jumal, keda ma oma vaimus teenin, levitades evangeeliumi tema Pojast, võib tunnistada, kuidas ma teid alatasa meenutan
10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.
oma palveis igal ajal ja anun, et mul Jumala tahtel ehk lõpuks ometi läheks korda teid külastada.
11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
Ma ju igatsen teid näha, et võiksin anda teile vaimulikult midagi, mis teeb teid tugevaks;
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
see tähendab, et saaksime vastastikku julgustust üksteiselt – teie minu ja mina teie usu läbi.
13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
Ärgu olgu teil teadmata, vennad ja õed, et ma olen palju kordi kavatsenud teid külastada, et mul võiks olla vilja ka teie keskel, nii nagu teiste mittejuutide seas, aga siiani on mind ikka takistatud.
14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
Ma olen ju võlglane nii kreeklaste kui võõramaalaste, nii tarkade kui rumalate ees;
15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
seepärast olen täis tahtmist kuulutada evangeeliumi ka teie juures Roomas.
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
Ma ei häbene evangeeliumi, sest see on Jumala vägi päästeks igaühele, kes usub – esmalt juudile, siis ka mittejuudile.
17 For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
Sest evangeeliumis avaldub see, kuidas Jumal inimesi õigeks teeb – algusest lõpuni usu alusel, nõnda nagu on kirjutatud: „Õige jääb usust elama!“
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
Kuid Jumala viha avaldub taevast inimeste kogu kurjuse ja ülekohtu vastu, mida nad teevad, lämmatades tõde ülekohtuga.
19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
Sest see, mida on võimalik teada Jumalast, on nende keskel avalik – Jumal on selle neile avaldanud.
20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
Tema nähtamatu olemus, tema muutumatu vägi ja jumalikkus on ju maailma loomisest peale selgesti näha, arusaadavad tema tööde põhjal. Nõnda ei ole neil mingit vabandust, (aïdios g126)
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
sest tundes Jumalat, ei ole nad teda ülistanud ja tänanud kui Jumalat, vaid on andunud tühistele targutustele ja nende mõistmatu süda on mattunud pimedusse.
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,
Väites end olevat targad, on nad muutunud rumalaks
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
ning kadumatu Jumala kirkuse vahetanud kaduva inimese, lindude, neljajalgsete ja roomajate kujutise vastu.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
Seepärast on Jumal nad andnud nende südame himudes rüveduse kütkesse, isekeskis oma keha häbistama.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Nad on Jumala tõe vahetanud vale vastu ning ülistanud ja teeninud loodut Looja asemel, kes on kiidetud igavesti! Aamen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Seepärast on Jumal andnud nad häbiväärsete himude meelevalda: nende naised on asendanud loomuliku vahekorra loomuvastasega.
27 Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Samamoodi on mehed loobunud loomulikust vahekorrast naisega ning oma himus süttinud üksteisest; käitunud sündmatult mees mehega ja iseenestes saanud kätte kohase karistuse oma eksimuse eest.
28 Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
Veel enam, kuna nad ei pidanud väärtuslikuks Jumala tundmist, andis Jumal nad kõlvatu mõtteviisi meelevalda tegema seda, mis on väär.
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
Nad on täis kõikvõimalikku ebaõiglust, kurjust, ahnust ja halba; täis kadedust, mõrvu, riidu, kavalust ja pahatahtlikkust. Nad on keelepeksjad,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
laimajad, Jumala vihkajad, vägivaldsed, ülbed, hooplejad, leidlikud kurjale, vastuhakkajad vanemaile,
31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
mõistmatud, sõnamurdjad, kalgi südamega, halastamatud.
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
Nad küll teavad hästi Jumala otsust, et need, kes selliseid asju teevad, on surma väärt, kuid ei tee mitte ainult sedasama, vaid kiidavad heaks ka need, kes nii teevad.
