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].
Pavel, rob al lui Isus Cristos, chemat să fie apostol, pus deoparte pentru evanghelia lui Dumnezeu,
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.
(Pe care a promis-o dinainte prin profeții săi în sfintele scripturi),
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.
Despre Fiul său Isus Cristos, Domnul nostru, care a fost născut conform cărnii din sămânța lui David;
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.
Și făcut cunoscut [ca] Fiu al lui Dumnezeu cu putere, conform duhului sfințeniei, prin învierea dintre morți;
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].
Prin el noi am primit har și apostolie, pentru ascultare față de credință printre toate națiunile, pentru numele lui;
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
Printre care sunteți și voi cei chemați ai lui Isus Cristos;
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.
Tuturor celor din Roma, preaiubiți ai lui Dumnezeu, chemați sfinți: Har vouă și pace de la Dumnezeu Tatăl nostru și Domnul Isus Cristos.
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.
Întâi, mulțumesc Dumnezeului meu prin Isus Cristos pentru voi toți, deoarece credința voastră este vestită în toată lumea.
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].
Fiindcă martor îmi este Dumnezeu, căruia îi servesc cu duhul meu în evanghelia Fiului său, cum neîncetat vă amintesc întotdeauna în rugăciunile mele,
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
Cerând, dacă ar fi posibil acum în sfârșit să vin la voi, să am o călătorie bună prin voia lui Dumnezeu.
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
Fiindcă tânjesc să vă văd, ca să vă împart vreun dar spiritual, ca voi să fiți întăriți;
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].
Și aceasta este ca să fiu mângâiat împreună cu voi prin credința împărtășită deopotrivă de voi și de mine.
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].
Dar nu voiesc să nu știți, fraților, că deseori am plănuit să vin la voi, (dar am fost împiedicat până acum), ca să am vreun rod și printre voi, așa ca printre celelalte neamuri.
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.
Sunt dator deopotrivă grecilor și barbarilor; deopotrivă înțelepților și neînțelepților.
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
Astfel, atât cât depinde de mine, sunt gata să vă predic evanghelia și vouă, celor din 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.
Fiindcă nu îmi este rușine de evanghelia lui Cristos; fiindcă ea este puterea lui Dumnezeu pentru salvarea fiecăruia care crede; întâi a iudeului și de asemenea a grecului.
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].”
Fiindcă în ea este revelată dreptatea lui Dumnezeu din credință spre credință; așa cum este scris: Cel drept va trăi prin credință.
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].
Fiindcă furia lui Dumnezeu este revelată din cer împotriva a toată neevlavia și nedreptatea oamenilor care țin adevărul în nedreptate.
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
Pentru că ceea ce se poate cunoaște despre Dumnezeu este arătat în ei; fiindcă Dumnezeu le-a arătat.
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)
Fiindcă lucrurile invizibile ale lui de la creația lumii sunt văzute clar, fiind înțelese prin lucrurile făcute, deopotrivă puterea lui eternă și Dumnezeirea; așa că ei sunt fără scuză; (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].
Întrucât, cunoscându-l pe Dumnezeu, nu l-au glorificat ca Dumnezeu, nici nu au fost mulțumitori; ci au devenit deșerți în închipuirile lor și inima lor fără înțelegere a fost întunecată.
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
Susținând că sunt înțelepți, au ajuns nebuni,
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.
Și au schimbat gloria Dumnezeului neputrezitor într-o icoană făcută asemenea omului putrezitor și a păsărilor și a fiarelor cu patru picioare și târâtoarelor.
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].
De aceea Dumnezeu i-a și predat necurăției prin poftele inimilor lor, ca să își dezonoreze trupurile între ei înșiși;
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)
Care au schimbat adevărul lui Dumnezeu într-o minciună și s-au închinat și au servit creaturii mai mult decât Creatorului, care este binecuvântat pentru totdeauna. Amin. (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].
Din această cauză Dumnezeu i-a predat poftelor dezonorante; fiindcă și femeile lor au schimbat folosirea firească într-aceea care este împotriva firii;
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].
Și tot astfel și bărbații, părăsind folosirea firească a femeii, s-au aprins în pofta lor unii pentru alții; bărbați cu bărbați înfăptuind ce este necuviincios și primind în ei înșiși răsplata cuvenită pentru rătăcirea lor.
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.
Și tot așa cum nu au căutat să îl păstreze pe Dumnezeu în cunoașterea lor, Dumnezeu i-a predat unei minți desfrânate, să facă acele lucruri care nu sunt cuvenite;
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].
Fiind umpluți de toată nedreptatea, curvia, răutatea, lăcomia, răzbunarea; plini de invidie, ucidere, ceartă, înșelăciune, purtări rele, șoptitori,
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.
Defăimători, urâtori de Dumnezeu, insultători, mândri, lăudăroși, născocitori de lucruri rele, neascultători de părinți,
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].
Fără înțelegere, călcători de legământ, fără afectivitate naturală, neînduplecați, nemiloși;
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.
Care, știind judecata lui Dumnezeu că toți cei ce fac astfel de lucruri sunt demni de moarte, nu numai că le fac dar și au plăcere în cei ce le practică.
