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].
Paul, serviteur de Jésus-Christ, appelé à être apôtre, mis à part pour annoncer l’Évangile de Dieu,
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.
qui avait été promis auparavant de la part de Dieu par ses prophètes dans les saintes Écritures,
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.
et qui concerne son Fils (né de la postérité de David, selon la chair,
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.
et déclaré Fils de Dieu avec puissance, selon l’Esprit de sainteté, par sa résurrection d’entre les morts), Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur,
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].
par qui nous avons reçu la grâce et l’apostolat, pour amener en son nom à l’obéissance de la foi tous les païens,
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
parmi lesquels vous êtes aussi, vous qui avez été appelés par Jésus-Christ,
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.
à tous ceux qui, à Rome, sont bien-aimés de Dieu, appelés à être saints: que la grâce et la paix vous soient données de la part de Dieu notre Père et du Seigneur Jésus-Christ!
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.
Je rends d’abord grâces à mon Dieu par Jésus-Christ, au sujet de vous tous, de ce que votre foi est renommée dans le monde entier.
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].
Dieu, que je sers en mon esprit dans l’Évangile de son Fils, m’est témoin que je fais sans cesse mention de vous,
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
demandant continuellement dans mes prières d’avoir enfin, par sa volonté, le bonheur d’aller vers vous.
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
Car je désire vous voir, pour vous communiquer quelque don spirituel, afin que vous soyez affermis,
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].
ou plutôt, afin que nous soyons encouragés ensemble au milieu de vous par la foi qui nous est commune, à vous et à moi.
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].
Je ne veux pas vous laisser ignorer, frères, que j’ai souvent formé le projet d’aller vous voir, afin de recueillir quelque fruit parmi vous, comme parmi les autres nations; mais j’en ai été empêché jusqu’ici.
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.
Je me dois aux Grecs et aux barbares, aux savants et aux ignorants.
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
Ainsi j’ai un vif désir de vous annoncer aussi l’Évangile, à vous qui êtes à Rome.
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.
Car je n’ai point honte de l’Évangile: c’est une puissance de Dieu pour le salut de quiconque croit, du Juif premièrement, puis du Grec,
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].”
parce qu’en lui est révélée la justice de Dieu par la foi et pour la foi, selon qu’il est écrit: Le juste vivra par la foi.
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].
La colère de Dieu se révèle du ciel contre toute impiété et toute injustice des hommes qui retiennent injustement la vérité captive,
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
car ce qu’on peut connaître de Dieu est manifeste pour eux, Dieu le leur ayant fait connaître.
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)
En effet, les perfections invisibles de Dieu, sa puissance éternelle et sa divinité, se voient comme à l’œil, depuis la création du monde, quand on les considère dans ses ouvrages. Ils sont donc inexcusables, (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].
puisque ayant connu Dieu, ils ne l’ont point glorifié comme Dieu, et ne lui ont point rendu grâces; mais ils se sont égarés dans leurs pensées, et leur cœur sans intelligence a été plongé dans les ténèbres.
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
Se vantant d’être sages, ils sont devenus fous;
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.
et ils ont changé la gloire du Dieu incorruptible en images représentant l’homme corruptible, des oiseaux, des quadrupèdes, et des reptiles.
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].
C’est pourquoi Dieu les a livrés à l’impureté, selon les convoitises de leurs cœurs; en sorte qu’ils déshonorent eux-mêmes leurs propres corps;
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)
eux qui ont changé la vérité de Dieu en mensonge, et qui ont adoré et servi la créature au lieu du Créateur, qui est béni éternellement. Amen! (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].
C’est pourquoi Dieu les a livrés à des passions infâmes: car leurs femmes ont changé l’usage naturel en celui qui est contre nature;
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].
et de même les hommes, abandonnant l’usage naturel de la femme, se sont enflammés dans leurs désirs les uns pour les autres, commettant homme avec homme des choses infâmes, et recevant en eux-mêmes le salaire que méritait leur égarement.
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.
Comme ils ne se sont pas souciés de connaître Dieu, Dieu les a livrés à leur sens réprouvé, pour commettre des choses indignes,
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].
étant remplis de toute espèce d’injustice, de méchanceté, de cupidité, de malice; pleins d’envie, de meurtre, de querelle, de ruse, de malignité;
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.
rapporteurs, médisants, impies, arrogants, hautains, fanfarons, ingénieux au mal, rebelles à leurs parents, dépourvus d’intelligence,
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].
de loyauté, d’affection naturelle, de miséricorde.
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.
Et, bien qu’ils connaissent le jugement de Dieu, déclarant dignes de mort ceux qui commettent de telles choses, non seulement ils les font, mais ils approuvent ceux qui les font.
