Romans 8

1 Because [God has erased the record of our sins because we trust in what Christ has done for us], now [God will] not condemn and punish those/us who have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Christ Jesus.

Așadar, acum nu este condamnare pentru cei în Cristos Isus, care umblă nu conform cărnii, ci conform Duhului.

2 [God’s] Spirit causes us to live [in a new way] [PRS] as a result of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. And he has set up a way by which he frees [each of] us from continually being forced to sin (OR, to obey our self-directed natures) and from being separated from God.

Fiindcă legea Duhului vieții în Cristos Isus m-a eliberat de legea păcatului și a morții.

3 What [we] could not do [by trying to obey] the laws [of God] [PRS], because our self-directed nature was too weak [to obey them], God did. He sent his own Son [into the world in order that his Son might atone] for our sin. His Son came having a body (OR, human nature) that was like [the body] (OR, the [human nature]) of us people who sin. [By sending his Son in this way], he condemned and punished [his Son, who never sinned, instead of punishing us, who] sinned [MTY]. He did that [by making his Son’s] body [a sacrifice] (OR, [by causing his Son’s] body [to suffer/die]) for [all our] sin.

Fiindcă ce nu putea face legea, întrucât era slabă prin carne, Dumnezeu, trimițând pe propriul său Fiu în asemănarea cărnii păcătoase și pentru păcat, a condamnat păcatul în carne;

4 So we can [now] fulfill all that God required in his laws. We do this, not by our acting the way our sinful human nature [desires], but instead by living as [God’s] Spirit [desires us to live].

Pentru ca dreptatea legii să fie împlinită în noi, care umblăm nu conform cărnii, ci conform Duhului.

5 People who live according to what their self-directed nature [desires] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires]. But people who [live] according to what [God’s] Spirit [desires think about and are concerned about] what [God’s] Spirit [desires].

Fiindcă toți cei ce sunt conform cărnii gândesc lucrurile cărnii; dar cei conform Duhului gândesc lucrurile Duhului.

6 Those people who [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires] will not live eternally (OR, will be separated from God). But those people who think about and are concerned about what [God’s] Spirit [desires] will live [eternally] and have [inner] peace.

Fiindcă a gândi carnal este moarte; dar a gândi spiritual, viață și pace.

7 Let me explain this. [To the extent that] people [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires], they are acting contrary to God. They do not obey the laws of God. In fact, they are not even able [to obey his laws].

Pentru că mintea carnală este dușmănie împotriva lui Dumnezeu; fiindcă nu este supusă legii lui Dumnezeu și nici nu poate fi.

8 The people who let their self-directed nature [control them] cannot do what pleases God.

Și cei ce sunt în carne nu pot plăcea lui Dumnezeu.

9 But we do not have to let our self-directed nature [control us]. Instead, we can [let] God’s Spirit [control us], because he lives within us. If people do not have [living in them] the Spirit [who comes from] Christ, they do not belong to Christ.

Dar voi nu sunteți în carne, ci în Duhul, dacă într-adevăr Duhul lui Dumnezeu locuiește în voi. Iar dacă cineva nu are Duhul lui Cristos, acesta nu este al lui.

10 But since Christ [is living in you/us by his Spirit, although] your/our bodies [are certain to] die because you/we sin, your/our spirits are alive because God has erased the record of your/our sins.

Și dacă Cristos este în voi, trupul este mort din cauza păcatului; dar Duhul este viață din cauza dreptății.

11 [God] caused Jesus to live again after he died. And because his Spirit lives in you/us, [God] will also make your/our bodies, which [now] are sure to die, live [again after you/we die]. God, who caused Christ to live again after he died, will make you/us live again by [causing] his Spirit, who lives within you/us, [to do it].

Dar dacă Duhul celui ce l-a înviat pe Isus dintre morți locuiește în voi, cel ce l-a înviat pe Cristos dintre morți, va da viață și trupurilor voastre muritoare prin Duhul său care locuiește în voi.

12 Therefore, my fellow believers, we must [live as the Spirit directs us]. What we do not have to do is to live as our self-directed nature [guides us].

Așadar fraților suntem datori, nu cărnii, pentru a trăi conform cărnii.

13 If you live the way your self-directed nature [directs], you will surely not live [eternally] (OR, will surely be eternally separated from God). But if by [the power of God’s] Spirit you quit doing the [sinful] things that your bodies [desire] [MET], you will live eternally.

Căci dacă trăiți conform cărnii, veți muri; dar dacă prin Duhul ucideți faptele trupului, veți trăi.

14 We who are guided by the Spirit of God {allow the Spirit of God to guide us} are God’s children.

Fiindcă toți câți sunt conduși de Duhul lui Dumnezeu, aceștia sunt fiii lui Dumnezeu.

15 [You have showed that this is true], because you received [from God] a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear [God] again. You are not like slaves who [fear their masters] [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose [work in our hearts God] has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out [to God], “[You(sg) are my] Father [DOU]!”

Fiindcă nu ați primit duhul robiei din nou spre frică; ci ați primit Duhul adopției fiilor, prin care strigăm: Abba, Tată!

16 The Spirit himself confirms what our spirits [say], that we are God’s children.

Duhul însuși aduce mărturie cu duhul nostru că suntem copiii lui Dumnezeu;

17 Because we are [God’s] children, we also will some day receive/inherit [eternal blessings/privileges]. We will receive/inherit them from God, and we will [also] receive/inherit [them] just like Christ has [inherited them]. But we must suffer [for doing good] as Christ did, in order to receive splendor as he did.

Și dacă suntem copii, atunci și moștenitori; moștenitori ai lui Dumnezeu și comoștenitori cu Cristos; dacă într-adevăr suferim împreună cu el, ca să și fim glorificați împreună.

18 I consider that what we suffer during the present time is not worth [paying attention to, because] the future splendor/glory that will be revealed {that [God] will reveal} to us [is so great].

Întrucât socotesc că suferințele din acest timp nu sunt demne de a fi comparate cu gloria care va fi revelată în noi.

19 The [things that God has] created are very eagerly waiting for [the time] [PRS, DOU] when God will reveal who his [true] children are.

Fiindcă arzătoarea anticipare a creaturii așteaptă revelarea fiilor lui Dumnezeu.

20 [God] caused the things that he created to be unable to achieve [what he had purposed. That was] not because they wanted to [be unable to do that]. On the contrary, [God] made them that way because he wanted them to keep confidently expecting

Căci creatura a fost supusă deșertăciunii nu de bunăvoie, ci din cauza celui ce a supus-o în speranță,

21 that the things that [he] created will be freed {that [he] will free the things that [he] created} from their sure decay [MET]. [He] will free them in order that [he can give them] the same glory that belongs to his children.

Deoarece creatura însăși de asemenea va fi eliberată din robia putrezirii în glorioasa libertate a copiilor lui Dumnezeu.

22 We know that until now [it is as though] all [things] that God created have been groaning together, [and they long for that glory, just like a mother having the pains before bearing a child] groans [and longs for her baby’s birth] [MET].

Deoarece știm că toată creația împreună geme și împreună suferă durerile nașterii până acum.

23 Not only [do those things groan], but we ourselves also groan inwardly. We who have [God’s] Spirit, who is like a partial gift [MET] we have received as we wait for [the future glory, groan inwardly]. We groan while we wait eagerly for the time when we will receive our [full] rights as God’s adopted children. That [will include] his freeing our bodies [from the things that hinder us on earth. He will do this by giving us new bodies].

Și nu numai ele, dar și noi înșine, care avem primele roade ale Duhului, chiar noi gemem în noi înșine așteptând adopția fiilor, adică răscumpărarea trupului nostru.

24 Ever since we were saved {since [God] saved us}, we have continued to confidently expect [that future glory]. If we had what we waited for, we would not [need to] wait for it any longer, because those who have something, certainly do not continue to wait for it! [RHQ]

Fiindcă suntem salvați prin speranță; dar speranța văzută nu este speranță; căci de ce ar mai spera [cineva] pentru ceea ce [se poate] vedea?

25 But because we keep waiting expectantly to receive what we do not yet have, we wait for it eagerly and patiently/perseveringly.

Dar dacă sperăm pentru ceea ce nu vedem, așteptăm cu răbdare.

26 Similarly, in addition to our continuing to wait for what God will give us, God’s Spirit helps us when our spirits feel weak. We do not know what is proper/necessary for us to pray. But God’s Spirit knows, and he prays for us when we groan (OR, he groans) in a way that cannot be expressed in words (OR, prays with us, groaning in a way that cannot be expressed in words).

Tot astfel Duhul de asemenea ajută neputințelor noastre; fiindcă nu știm pentru ce să ne rugăm cum ar trebui; dar Duhul însuși mijlocește pentru noi cu gemete de nespus.

27 God, who examines our inner feelings, understands what his Spirit desires. What God understands is that his Spirit prays for us who belong to God exactly as God wants him to pray.

Și cel care cercetează inimile știe care este mintea Duhului, pentru că mijlocește pentru sfinți conform voii lui Dumnezeu.

28 And we know that to those/us who love God, he works out all things that happen [to them/us] in a way that produces good [spiritual] benefits [for us]. He does these things for those/us whom he has chosen, because that was (OR, was according to) what he planned to do.

Și știm că toate lucrează împreună pentru binele celor ce iubesc pe Dumnezeu, celor chemați conform scopului său.

29 God knew previously [that we would believe] in him (OR, [would be saved]). We are those who God also decided previously would develop a character like his Son’s character. The result of that is that [Christ is like] a firstborn/highest-ranking [son], and [those/we who are God’s children] [MET] are [like] [MET] many [younger] brothers [of Jesus].

Pentru că pe aceia pe care i-a cunoscut dinainte, i-a și predestinat să fie făcuți conform chipului Fiului său, ca el să fie întâiul născut între mulți frați.

30 And us who God decided previously [that we would become like his Son], he also summoned. And for us whom he summoned, he also erased the record of our sins. And for us whose record of sins he has erased, he also will surely give future splendor.

Mai mult, pe cei care i-a predestinat, pe aceia i-a și chemat; și [pe cei] pe care i-a chemat, i-a și declarat drepți; și [pe cei] pe care i-a declarat drepți, i-a și glorificat.

31 So (I will tell you what we must conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]./what shall we conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]?) [RHQ] Because God [is acting] on our behalf, (no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!) [RHQ]

Ce vom spune atunci față de acestea? Dacă Dumnezeu este pentru noi, cine poate fi împotriva noastră?

32 God did not spare even his very own Son. Instead, he turned him over [to others to cruelly kill him] in order that all we [who believe in him] may benefit [from his dying for us. Therefore, because God did that], (he will also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ./will he not also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ?) [RHQ]

El care nu a cruțat pe propriul său Fiu, ci l-a predat pentru noi toți, cum nu ne va dărui de asemenea toate lucrurile cu el?

33 It is God himself who erases the record of our sins. So (no one who accuses us [before God will win against us] (OR, [it does not matter] if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen./is it possible that anyone who accuses us [before God] will win against us (OR, does it matter if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen?) [RHQ]

Cine va aduce o acuzație împotriva aleșilor lui Dumnezeu? Dumnezeu este cel care declară drept.

34 It is Christ Jesus himself who pleads [with God] for us, so (no one can condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)./can anyone condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)?) [RHQ] Christ died [for us], but he was also brought back to life {[God] also raised him from the dead}, and he is now at the place of honor [ruling] with God [MTY].

Cine este cel ce condamnă? Cristos este cel ce a murit; da, mai mult, a și fost înviat, cel ce și este la dreapta lui Dumnezeu, care de asemenea mijlocește pentru noi.

35 Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen [because someone] caused us to have trouble [DOU], or [because someone did things to] harm us, or [because we did] not have anything to eat, or [because we did] not have enough clothes, or [because we lived in a] dangerous situation, or [because someone killed us with] a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us).

Cine ne va separa de dragostea lui Cristos? Necaz, sau strâmtorare, sau persecuție, sau foamete, sau goliciune, sau pericol, sau sabie?

36 [Such things may happen to us, just like] it is written {[as David] wrote} [that David said to God], “Because we are your [(sg)] people, [other people repeatedly attempt to] kill us. They consider that we are [only people to be killed], [like a butcher considers] that sheep are [only] animals to be slaughtered [MET].”

Așa cum este scris: Datorită ție suntem uciși cât este ziua de lungă; suntem socotiți ca oi pentru măcel.

37 But even though all these bad things [may happen to us], we win a great victory/triumph [over these things because Christ], who loves us, [helps us].

Nu, în toate acestea suntem mai mult decât biruitori prin cel ce ne-a iubit.

38 I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor [what happens to us while] we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful [beings/forces],

Fiindcă sunt convins că nici moarte, nici viață, nici îngeri, nici principate, nici puteri, nici cele prezente, nici cele viitoare,

39 nor [powerful beings] above [the horizon] or below [the horizon] [MTY], nor anything else that [God has] created can cause God to stop loving us. [God showed us that he loves us by sending] Jesus Christ our Lord [to die for us].

Nici înălțime, nici adâncime, nicio altă creatură, nu va fi în stare să ne separe de dragostea lui Dumnezeu, care este în Cristos Isus Domnul nostru.
