Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel of God,
Pauluselt, Kristuse Jeesuse sulaselt, kes on kutsutud apostliks ja valitud levitama Jumala evangeeliumi,
2 which he had promised before by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
mida Jumal on oma prohvetite kaudu Pühakirjas ette tõotanud,
3 the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,
sõnumit tema Pojast – kes maises elus pärines Taaveti soost
4 and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;
ja on pühaduse Vaimu väes kinnitatud Jumala Pojaks pärast surnuist ülestõusmist – Jeesusest Kristusest, meie Issandast.
5 through whom we received grace and the office of an apostle in behalf of his name, in order to produce obedience to the faith among all nations;
Tema läbi me oleme saanud armu ja apostliameti, et levitada usukuulekust tema nime auks mittejuutide keskel,
6 among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ;
kelle hulgas teiegi olete kutsutud kuuluma Jeesusele Kristusele.
7 to all the beloved of God at Rome, called, holy: Grace be to you, and peace, 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 In the first place, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Kõigepealt ma tänan oma Jumalat Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu teie kõigi eest, sest teie usust kõneldakse kogu maailmas.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how constantly I make mention of you, always in my prayers
Sest Jumal, keda ma oma vaimus teenin, levitades evangeeliumi tema Pojast, võib tunnistada, kuidas ma teid alatasa meenutan
10 supplicating that, if it be possible, I may at last through the will of God be favored with an opportunity of 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, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, which may be for your confirmation;
Ma ju igatsen teid näha, et võiksin anda teile vaimulikult midagi, mis teeb teid tugevaks;
12 that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each other's faith, both yours and mine.
see tähendab, et saaksime vastastikku julgustust üksteiselt – teie minu ja mina teie usu läbi.
13 But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also, as 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 debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise.
Ma olen ju võlglane nii kreeklaste kui võõramaalaste, nii tarkade kui rumalate ees;
15 So, according to my ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also in Rome.
seepärast olen täis tahtmist kuulutada evangeeliumi ka teie juures Roomas.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for to every believer, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, it is the power of God unto salvation.
Ma ei häbene evangeeliumi, sest see on Jumala vägi päästeks igaühele, kes usub – esmalt juudile, siis ka mittejuudile.
17 For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous shall 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 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, who keep down the truth in unrighteousness.
Kuid Jumala viha avaldub taevast inimeste kogu kurjuse ja ülekohtu vastu, mida nad teevad, lämmatades tõde ülekohtuga.
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest within them; for God made it manifest to them.
Sest see, mida on võimalik teada Jumalast, on nende keskel avalik – Jumal on selle neile avaldanud.
20 For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be 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 Because though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful to him; but became perverse in their reasonings, and their senseless minds were darkened;
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 professing to be wise, they became fools,
Väites end olevat targad, on nad muutunud rumalaks
23 and for the glory of the incorruptible God they substituted images of corruptible man, and of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.
ning kadumatu Jumala kirkuse vahetanud kaduva inimese, lindude, neljajalgsete ja roomajate kujutise vastu.
24 Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to debase their bodies with one another;
Seepärast on Jumal nad andnud nende südame himudes rüveduse kütkesse, isekeskis oma keha häbistama.
25 because they changed the true God for false gods, and adored and worshipped created things rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. 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 cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust,
Seepärast on Jumal andnud nad häbiväärsete himude meelevalda: nende naised on asendanud loomuliku vahekorra loomuvastasega.
27 and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of 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 And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;
Veel enam, kuna nad ei pidanud väärtuslikuks Jumala tundmist, andis Jumal nad kõlvatu mõtteviisi meelevalda tegema seda, mis on väär.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, malice, covetousness, wickedness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; backbiters,
Nad on täis kõikvõimalikku ebaõiglust, kurjust, ahnust ja halba; täis kadedust, mõrvu, riidu, kavalust ja pahatahtlikkust. Nad on keelepeksjad,
30 slanderers, hated of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of mischief, disobedient to parents,
laimajad, Jumala vihkajad, vägivaldsed, ülbed, hooplejad, leidlikud kurjale, vastuhakkajad vanemaile,
31 senseless, faithless, without natural affection, without pity;
mõistmatud, sõnamurdjad, kalgi südamega, halastamatud.
32 who, although knowing the ordinance of God, that they who practise such things deserve death, not only do them themselves, but approve of those who do 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.
