Romans 8
1 There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;
Niisiis ei ole nüüd mingit hukkamõistu neile, kes on Kristuses Jeesuses.
2 for through your union with Christ Jesus, the Law of the life-giving Spirit has set you free from the Law of sin and death.
Elu vaimu seadus Kristuses Jeesuses on vabastanud mind patu ja surma seadusest.
3 What Law could not do, in so far as our earthly nature weakened its action, God did, by sending his own Son, with a nature resembling our sinful nature, to atone for sin. He condemned sin in that earthly nature,
Mida seadus ei suutnud teha, sest see oli meie patuse loomuse, tõttu võimetu, oli võimeline tegema Jumal! Jumal tegeles kogu patu probleemiga, saates oma Poja inimkujul, ja purustas patu võimu meie patuses inimloomuses.
4 so that the requirements of the Law might be satisfied in us who live now in obedience, not to our earthly nature, but to the Spirit.
Nii saaksime täita seaduse head nõuded Vaimu, mitte oma patust loomust järgides.
5 They who follow their earthly nature are earthly-minded, while they who follow the Spirit are spiritually minded.
Need, kes järgivad oma patust loomust, on patuste asjadega hõivatud, aga need, kes järgivad Vaimu, keskenduvad vaimulikele asjadele.
6 To be earthly-minded means death, to be spiritually minded means life and peace;
Patuse inimliku mõtteviisi lõpptulemus on surm, kuid Vaimu juhitud mõtteviis toob elu ja rahu.
7 because to be earthly-minded is to be an enemy to God, for such a mind does not submit to the Law of God, nor indeed can it do so.
Patune inimlik mõtteviis on vaenulik Jumala suhtes, sest see keeldub Jumala seadusele kuuletumast. Õigupoolest see ei suudagi,
8 They who are earthly cannot please God.
ja need, kes järgivad oma patust loomust, ei suuda iial Jumalale meelepärased olla.
9 You, however, are not earthly but spiritual, since the Spirit of God lives within you. Unless a person has the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ;
Kuid teie ei järgi oma patust loomust, vaid Vaimu – kui on tõsi, et Jumala Vaim elab teis. Sest need, kelles ei ole Kristuse Vaim, ei kuulu talle.
10 but, if Christ is within you, then, though the body is dead as a consequence of sin, the spirit is life as a consequence of righteousness.
Aga kui Kristus on teie sees, siis kuigi teie ihu sureb patu tõttu, annab Vaim teile elu, sest nüüd olete Jumala ees õiged.
11 And, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life even to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit living within you.
Teie sees elab tema Vaim, kes äratas Jeesuse surnuist üles. Tema, kes äratas Jeesuse surnuist üles, annab elu ka teie surnud ihule oma Vaimu kaudu, kes teis elab.
12 So then, friends, we owe nothing to our earthly nature, that we should live in obedience to it.
Niisiis, vennad ja õed, me ei pea järgima oma patust loomust, mis tegutseb vastavalt meie inimlikele soovidele.
13 If you live in obedience to your earthly nature, you will inevitably die; but if, by the power of the Spirit, you put an end to the evil habits of the body, you will live.
Sest kui te elate oma patuse loomuse valitsemise all, siis te surete. Aga kui te järgite Vaimu teguviisi ja surmate kurja, mida teete, siis te elate.
14 All who are guided by the Spirit of God are children of God.
Kõik, keda Jumala Vaim juhib, on Jumala lapsed.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of a slave, to fill you once more with fear, but the spirit of a child by adoption, which leads us to cry “Abba, our Father.”
Teile ei ole antud vaimu, mis teid veel kord orjastaks ja kohutaks. Ei, see Vaim, mille saite, teeb teist lapsed Jumala perekonnas. Nüüd võime valjusti hüüda: „Jumal on meie Isa!“
16 The Spirit himself unites with our spirits in bearing witness to our being God’s children,
Vaim ise on meiega nõus, et me oleme Jumala lapsed.
17 and if children, then heirs – heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ, since we share Christ’s sufferings in order that we may also share his glory.
Kui oleme tema lapsed, siis oleme tema pärijad. Me oleme Jumala pärijad ja koos Kristusega kaaspärijad. Aga kui tahame osa saada tema auhiilgusest, peame osa saama tema kannatustest.
18 I do not count the sufferings of our present life worthy of mention when compared with the glory that is to be revealed and bestowed on us.
Siiski olen veendunud, et see, mida praegu kannatame, ei ole midagi, võrreldes tulevase auhiilgusega, mis meile ilmutatakse.
19 All nature awaits with eager expectation the appearing of the sons of God.
Kogu loodu ootab kannatlikult ja igatseb, et Jumal avalikustaks oma lapsed.
20 For nature was made subject to imperfection – not by its own choice, but owing to him who made it so –
Sest Jumal lubas loomise eesmärgil nurja minna.
21 yet not without the hope that some day nature, also, will be set free from enslavement to decay, and will attain to the freedom which will mark the glory of the children of God.
Kuid loodu ise ootab lootuses aega, mil ta vabaneb lagunemise orjusest ja saab osa Jumala laste aulisest vabadusest.
22 We know, indeed, that all nature alike has been groaning in the pains of labour to this very hour.
Me teame, et kogu loodu ägab igatsusest ja kannatab sünnitusvalusid tänaseni.
23 And not nature only; but we ourselves also, though we have already a first gift of the Spirit – we ourselves are inwardly groaning, while we eagerly await our full adoption as sons – the redemption of our bodies.
Mitte ainult loodu, vaid ka meie, kel on Vaimu eelmaitse, ägame sisemiselt, kui ootame oma ihu lunastamist, et Jumal meid „lapsendaks“.
24 By our hope we were saved. But the thing hoped for is no longer an object of hope when it is before our eyes; for who hopes for what is before his eyes?
Sest meid päästeti lootuse kaudu. Kuid lootus, mida on juba näha, ei ole üldse lootus. Kes loodab seda, mida ta juba näeb?
25 But when we hope for what is not before our eyes, then we wait for it with patience.
Kuna loodame seda, mida me ei ole veel näinud, siis ootame seda kannatlikult.
26 So, also, the Spirit supports us in our weakness. We do not even know how to pray as we should; but the Spirit himself pleads for us in sighs that can find no utterance.
Samamoodi aitab Vaim meid meie nõrkuses. Me ei tea, kuidas Jumalaga rääkida, aga Vaim ise palub koos meiega ja meie kaudu ägamistega, mida ei ole võimalik sõnadesse panna.
27 Yet he who searches all our hearts knows what the Spirit’s meaning is, because the pleadings of the Spirit for Christ’s people are in accordance with his will.
Tema, kes uurib läbi kõigi mõtteviisi, teab Vaimu ajendeid, sest Vaim kaitseb usklike ees Jumala huve.
28 But we do know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love him – those who have received the call in accordance with his purpose.
Me teame, et Jumal tegutseb kõiges nende heaks, kes teda armastavad, keda ta on kutsunud oma plaanist osa saama.
29 For those whom God chose from the first he also destined from the first to be transformed into likeness to his Son, so that his Son might be the eldest among many brothers and sisters.
Sest Jumal, kes neid ette valis, eraldas neid olema nagu tema Poeg, et Poeg oleks paljudest vendadest ja õdedest esimene.
30 And those whom God destined for this he also called; and those whom he called he also pronounced righteous; and those whom he pronounced righteous he also brought to glory.
Keda ta valis, neid ta ka kutsus, ning keda ta kutsus, tegi ta ka õigeks, ning neid, kelle ta õigeks tegi, on ta ka austanud.
31 What are we to say, then, in the light of all this? If God is on our side, who can there be against us?
Missugune on siis meie vastus kõigele sellele? Kui Jumal on meie poolt, kes võib olla meie vastu?
32 God did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up on behalf of us all; will he not, then, with him, freely give us all things?
Kas siis Jumal, kes oma Poegagi tagasi ei hoidnud, vaid andis ta meie kõigi eest, ei anna heldelt meile ka kõike muud?
33 Who will bring a charge against any of God’s people? He who pronounces them righteous is God!
Kes võib Jumala erilist rahvast milleski süüdistada? Jumal on see, kes teeb meid õigeks,
34 Who is there to condemn them? He who died for us is Christ Jesus! – or, rather, it was he who was raised from the dead, and who is now at God’s right hand and is even pleading on our behalf!
nii et kes saab meid hukka mõista? Kristus Jeesus, kes suri – mis veelgi olulisem, kes surnuist üles äratati –, seisab Jumala paremal käel ja esindab meie juhtumit.
35 Who is there to separate us from the love of the Christ? Will trouble, or difficulty, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?
Kes saab meid lahutada Kristuse armastusest? Kas rõhumine, kitsikus või tagakiusamine? Või nälg, vaesus, oht ja vägivald?
36 Scripture says – “For your sake we are being killed all the day long, We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Just nagu Pühakiri ütleb: „Sinu pärast oli meil kogu aeg oht saada tapetud. Meid koheldi nagu tapale viidavaid lambaid.“
37 Yet amid all these things we more than conquer through him who loved us!
Ei, kõiges, mis meiega juhtub, oleme rohkem kui võitjad tema kaudu, kes meid armastab.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor archangels, nor the present, nor the future, nor any powers,
Olen täiesti veendunud, et ei elu ega surm, ei inglid ega kurjad vaimud, ei olevik ega tulevik, ei võimud,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus, our Lord!
ei kõrgus ega sügavus, tegelikult mitte miski kogu loodus ei saa meid lahutada Jumala armastusest, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses, meie Issandas.
