Romans 1
1 [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].
Paulo, servo de Jesus Cristo, chamado para apóstolo, separado para o evangelho de Deus,
2 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.
Que antes havia prometido pelos seus profetas nas santas escrituras,
3 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.
Acerca de seu Filho, que foi gerado da descendência de David segundo a carne,
4 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.
Declarado Filho de Deus em poder, segundo o espírito de santificação, pela ressurreição dos mortos, Jesus Cristo Nosso Senhor,
5 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].
Pelo qual recebemos a graça e o apostolado, para a obediência da fé entre todas as gentes pelo seu nome,
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
Entre os quais sois também vós, os chamados de Jesus Cristo.
7 [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.
A todos os que estais em Roma, amados de Deus, chamados santos: Graça e paz de Deus nosso pai, e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.
8 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.
Primeiramente dou graças ao meu Deus por Jesus Cristo, acerca de vós todos, porque em todo o mundo é anunciada a vossa fé.
9 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].
Porque Deus, a quem sirvo em meu espírito no evangelho de seu Filho, me é testemunha de como incessantemente faço menção de vós
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
Rogando sempre em minhas orações que em algum tempo, pela vontade de Deus, se me ofereça boa ocasião de ir ter convosco.
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
Porque desejo ver-vos, para vos comunicar algum dom espiritual, afim de que sejais confortados;
12 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].
Isto é: para que juntamente convosco eu seja consolado pela fé mútua, assim vossa como minha.
13 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].
Porém, irmãos, não quero que ignoreis que muitas vezes propuz ir ter convosco (mas até agora tenho sido impedido) para também ter entre vós algum fruto, como também entre os demais gentios.
14 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.
Eu sou devedor, tanto a gregos como a bárbaros, tanto a sábios como a ignorantes.
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
Assim que, quanto a mim, estou pronto para também vos anunciar o evangelho, a vós que estais em Roma.
16 [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.
Porque não me envergonho do evangelho de Cristo, pois é o poder de Deus para salvação a todo aquele que crê; primeiro ao judeu, e também ao grego.
17 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].”
Porque nele se descobre a justiça de Deus de fé em fé, como está escrito: Mas o justo viverá da fé.
18 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].
Porque do céu se manifesta a ira de Deus sobre toda a impiedade e injustiça dos homens, que detém a verdade em injustiça.
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
Porquanto o que de Deus se pode conhecer neles está manifesto; porque Deus lho manifestou.
20 [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)
Porque as suas coisas invisíveis, desde a criação do mundo, tanto o seu eterno poder, como a sua divindade, se entendem, e claramente se veem pelas coisas que estão criadas, para que fiquem inexcusáveis; (aïdios g126)
21 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].
Porquanto, tendo conhecido a Deus, não o glorificaram como Deus, nem lhe deram graças, antes em seus discursos se desvaneceram, e o seu coração insensato se obscureceu.
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
Dizendo-se sábios, tornaram-se loucos.
23 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.
E mudaram a glória do Deus incorruptível em semelhança de imagem de homem corruptível, e de aves, e de quadrúpedes, e de réptis.
24 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].
Pelo que também Deus os entregou às concupiscências de seus corações, à imundícia, para desonrarem seus corpos entre si:
25 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)
Pois mudaram a verdade de Deus em mentira, e honraram e serviram mais a criatura do que o criador, que é bendito eternamente. amém. (aiōn g165)
26 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].
Pelo que Deus os abandonou às paixões infames. Porque até as suas mulheres mudaram o uso natural, no contrário à natureza.
27 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].
E, semelhantemente, também os varões, deixando o uso natural da mulher, se inflamaram em sua sensualidade uns para com os outros, varão com varão, cometendo torpeza e recebendo em si mesmos a recompensa que convinha ao seu erro.
28 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.
E, como eles se não importaram de reconhecer a Deus, assim Deus os entregou a um sentimento perverso, para fazerem coisas que não convém;
29 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].
Estando cheios de toda a iniquidade, fornicação, malícia, avareza, maldade; cheios de inveja, homicídio, contenda, engano, malignidade;
30 [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.
Murmuradores, detratores, aborrecedores de Deus, injuriadores, soberbos, presunçosos, inventores de males, desobedientes aos pães e às mães;
31 [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].
Néscios, infieis nos contratos, sem afeição natural, irreconciliáveis, sem misericórdia;
32 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.
Os quais, conhecendo a justiça de Deus (que são dignos de morte os que praticam tais coisas), não somente as fazem, mas também consentem aos que as fazem.
