Romans 2
1 [God will severely punish non-Jewish people who habitually do evil things, because he has clearly revealed that he is angry with them]. So, [when God judges people], he will not excuse any one of you Jews [to whom I am writing]. You [(sg)] say that [God should] punish [non-Jews for doing evil things]. But when any one of you says that, it is you yourself whom you are saying that God should punish, because you [(sg)] do [some of] the same [evil] things [that the non-Jews do].
De aceea, omule, ești de nescuzat, oricine ai fi care judeci; fiindcă în ceea ce judeci pe altul, te condamni pe tine însuți; fiindcă tu care judeci, practici aceleași lucruri.
2 We know very well that God will judge and punish fairly [non-Jewish] people who do such [evil] things.
Dar suntem siguri că judecata lui Dumnezeu este conform adevărului împotriva celor ce practică astfel de lucruri.
3 So, you who [say God should punish] others for doing evil things yet you do evil things yourself, (you should certainly not think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God!/do you think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God?) [RHQ]
Și gândești aceasta, omule, care judeci pe cei ce practică astfel de lucruri și pe care le faci și tu, că vei scăpa de judecata lui Dumnezeu?
4 And you should not say, “God is acting very tolerantly and patiently toward me, [so I do not need to stop sinning] [DOU].” (You should realize that God is acting in a kind manner [toward you] in order to encourage you [(sg)] to turn away from your sinful behavior!/Do you not realize that God is acting in a kind manner [toward you] in order to encourage you [(sg)] to turn away from your sinful behavior?) [RHQ]
Sau disprețuiești bogățiile bunătății lui și a îngăduinței și a îndelungii răbdări, neștiind că bunătatea lui Dumnezeu te conduce la pocăință?
5 But instead, by your stubbornly refusing to turn away from your sinful behavior [DOU], you are causing [MET] God to punish you even more severely. [He will do that] at the time when he shows that he is angry and judges people fairly.
Dar după împietrirea ta și inima nepocăită, îți strângi furie pentru ziua furiei și a revelării dreptei judecăți a lui Dumnezeu;
6 God will pay back everyone according to [what they deserve for] what they have done.
Care va întoarce fiecărui om conform faptelor lui;
7 [Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios g166)
Celor care prin răbdare stăruitoare în facerea binelui caută glorie și onoare și nemurire, viață eternă; (aiōnios g166)
8 But some people act in a selfish way and refuse to believe that [what God says is] true, and they do the things that [God says] are wrong. [God will] punish them very severely [DOU, MTY].
Dar celor certăreți și care nu ascultă de adevăr, ci ascultă de nedreptate, indignare și furie,
9 He will cause everyone who habitually does evil deeds to suffer greatly, [with the result that they will become severely] distressed [DOU]. This certainly will happen to the Jews [who refuse to accept God’s message, because God gave them the privilege to be his special people], but it will also happen to the non-Jews.
Necaz și chin peste fiecare suflet de om care lucrează răul, întâi al iudeului și de asemenea al neamului.
10 But [God will] greatly reward spiritually [MET, DOU] every person who habitually does good deeds. He will [certainly] do this for the Jews [because God chose them as his special people], but he will also do it for the non-Jews.
Dar glorie, onoare și pace fiecăruia care lucrează binele, întâi iudeului și de asemenea neamului.
11 God [will do this fairly], because people’s status does not influence him.
Deoarece la Dumnezeu nu este părtinire.
12 Although [non-Jews do not have] the laws that [God gave to Moses], all [non-Jews] who sin will be eternally separated from God. He will [not consider whether or not they knew] the laws that he [gave to Moses]. And all the [Jews] who have sinned in spite of knowing the laws that [God gave to Moses will also be punished] {[God will also punish them]}. [They will be punished for disobeying] God’s laws.
Căci atâți câți au păcătuit fără lege, vor și pieri fără lege; și atâți câți au păcătuit în lege, vor fi judecați prin lege;
13 [It is right for them to be punished] {[God to punish them]} [because] it is not those who [merely] know God’s laws whom he considers to be righteous. On the contrary, it is only those who continually have obeyed [all] (of [God’s] laws/of the laws that [God gave to Moses]) (whom God will consider righteous/whose record of sins God will erase).
(Fiindcă nu ascultătorii legii sunt drepți înaintea lui Dumnezeu, ci înfăptuitorii legii vor fi declarați drepți.
14 Whenever the non-Jews, who do not have the laws [God gave to Moses], naturally obey those laws, [they prove that] they have a law within their own minds, even though they do not have the laws [God gave to Moses].
De aceea când neamurile, care nu au legea, fac prin natură lucrurile cuprinse în lege, aceștia, neavând legea, își sunt lor înșiși lege;
15 They show that they know in their own minds what God [commands in his] laws [MET], as each person in his very own conscience either accuses or excuses/defends himself [concerning his own behavior].
Aceștia arată lucrarea legii scrisă în inimile lor, conștiința lor de asemenea aducând mărturie și gândurile lor, în același timp acuzându-se sau scuzându-se unele pe altele),
16 God [will punish people] at the time when he will judge them according to what they have thought and done. He will judge them [even] for the things that they have done secretly. He will judge people by [authorizing] Christ Jesus [to judge them]. This is [what I tell people when] I preach the gospel to them.
În ziua când Dumnezeu va judeca tainele oamenilor prin Isus Cristos, conform evangheliei mele.
17 [Now I have something to say to any one of] you [Jews to whom I am writing]: You [(sg)] boast about yourself saying, “I am a Jew.” You [(sg)] trust [that God will save you because you possess] the laws [that he gave to Moses]. You boast that [you belong to] God.
Iată, tu, te numești iudeu și te bazezi pe lege și te fălești cu Dumnezeu,
18 You know what God desires. Because you have been taught {[people] have taught you} [God’s] laws, you are able to know which things are right and to choose to do them.
Și îi știi voia și deosebești lucruri nespus mai bune, fiind învățat din lege;
19 You are certain that you [are able to] show [God’s truth to non-Jews], as guides [show the road] to those who are blind [MET]. You are certain that by what you say you can show God’s way to the [non-Jews who do not understand it], as a light shows the way to [those who walk in] the darkness [MET, DOU].
Și ești sigur că tu însuți ești călăuză orbilor, lumină celor ce sunt în întuneric,
20 [You are certain that you] can instruct/correct [non-Jews, whom you consider] foolish [because of their not understanding God’s message]. Because you have in [God’s] laws a [written] expression of true knowledge [HEN], you are certain that you can teach [people who, being like] children, do not know [God’s truth] [MET].
Îndrumător al celor fără minte, învățător al pruncilor, având forma cunoașterii și a adevărului în lege.
21 [Since you claim that you have all these advantages because you are a Jew], (it is disgusting that you who teach other people [that they should obey the laws God gave Moses] do not [obey the laws that you] yourself teach!/why is it that you who teach other people [that they should obey the laws God gave Moses] do not [obey the laws that you] yourself teach?) [RHQ] You who preach that people should not steal things, it is disgusting that you yourself steal things! [RHQ]
Tu dar, care înveți pe altul, pe tine însuți nu te înveți? Tu care predici: Să nu furi; furi?
22 You who command people not to have sexual relations with someone to whom they are not married, it is disgusting that you commit adultery yourself! [RHQ] You who detest idols, it is disgusting that you rob temples [where people worship idols]! [RHQ]
Tu care spui: Să nu comiți adulter; comiți adulter? Tu care detești idolii, comiți sacrilegiu?
23 You who boast saying, “[I have God’s] laws,” it is disgusting that you disobey those same laws! [RHQ] As a result you are insulting God!
Tu care te fălești cu legea, îl dezonorezi pe Dumnezeu prin încălcarea legii?
24 [You must not be like our ancestors, about whom] were written [these words in the Scriptures: ] “The non-Jews speak evil about God because of [the evil actions of] many of you [Jews].” The non-Jews say God must be a hypocrite if he condones the behavior of people like you.
Fiindcă prin voi este blasfemiat numele lui Dumnezeu între neamuri, așa cum este scris.
25 Any one of you who [is] circumcised [to show that he belongs to God] can benefit from that if he obeys the laws [God gave to Moses]. But if you [(sg), a circumcised person], disobey [God’s] laws, [God will consider that] you who are circumcised are no better [in God’s sight] than [someone who is] not circumcised.
Fiindcă circumcizia, într-adevăr, este de folos, dacă împlinești legea; dar dacă ești călcător de lege, circumcizia ta a devenit necircumcizie.
26 This means that God will certainly consider that even [non-Jews who are] not circumcised can become his people if they obey the things that he commanded in his laws. [RHQ]
De aceea dacă necircumcizia ține dreptatea legii, necircumcizia lui nu i se va socoti pentru circumcizie?
27 [If any one of] you disobeys God’s laws, even though [you(sg) have] the Scriptures and even though someone has circumcised you {you are circumcised} [God will punish you]. And those people who are not circumcised, but who obey God’s laws, [will declare that God is right] when he says that he will punish you.
Și necircumcizia care este prin natură, dacă împlinește legea, nu te va judeca pe tine, care prin litera legii și prin circumcizie calci legea?
28 It is not those who perform rituals [to show they are God’s people] who are [true] Jews, and it is not being circumcised in their bodies [that causes God to accept them] [MTY].
Fiindcă iudeu nu este cel în afară; nici circumcizie cea pe dinafară, în carne;
29 On the contrary, we whom [God has changed] inwardly are [true] Jews [MTY]. And [God has accepted us because we have allowed God’s] Spirit to change our hearts, not because we perform rituals. Even if [other] people will not praise us [for that change], God will praise us.
Ci iudeu este cel în lăuntru; și circumcizie este aceea a inimii, în duhul, nu în literă; a cărui laudă nu este de la oameni, ci de la Dumnezeu.
