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].
Piszę do was ja, Paweł, sługa Chrystusa Jezusa, powołany na apostoła, aby głosić dobrą nowinę od Boga.
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.
Zapowiadali ją już Jego prorocy w świętych księgach.
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.
Jest to dobra nowina o Jego Synu, potomku króla Dawida—Jezusie Chrystusie, naszym Panu. On to, dzięki Duchowi Świętemu, przez zmartwychwstanie okazał się pełnym mocy Synem Bożym.
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.
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].
To od Niego otrzymaliśmy łaskę i misję apostolską, aby przez wiarę doprowadzić do posłuszeństwa Mu wszystkich pogan.
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
Wśród nich jesteście i wy, powołani przez Jezusa Chrystusa.
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.
Wszystkim wam, mieszkającym w Rzymie, ukochanym przez Boga, powołanym i świętym, przekazuję życzenia łaski i pokoju od Boga Ojca i naszego Pana, Jezusa Chrystusa.
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.
Już na wstępie pragnę podziękować Bogu przez Jezusa Chrystusa za was wszystkich, za to, że wasza wiara jest znana na całym świecie.
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].
Bóg, któremu służę całym sercem, głosząc dobrą nowinę o Jego Synu, jest mi świadkiem, że nieustannie o was myślę!
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
Stale proszę Go o to, aby jeśli taka jest Jego wola, pozwolił mi w końcu was odwiedzić.
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
Gorąco pragnę was zobaczyć i podzielić się z wami duchowym darem dla waszego umocnienia,
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].
abyśmy wzajemnie zachęcili się swoją wiarą: wy moją, a ja waszą.
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].
Drodzy przyjaciele! Wiedzcie, że wiele razy zamierzałem już do was przybyć, aby i wśród was—podobnie jak wśród innych pogan—zebrać duchowy owoc, ale jak dotąd zawsze pojawiały się jakieś przeszkody.
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.
Czuję się dłużnikiem Greków i nie—Greków, uczonych i niewykształconych.
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
Dlatego tak bardzo chciałbym przedstawić dobrą nowinę również wam, mieszkańcom Rzymu.
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.
Nie wstydzę się jej. Jest ona bowiem mocą Boga niosącą zbawienie wszystkim, którzy uwierzą: zarówno Żydom, jak i poganom.
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].”
Poprzez dobrą nowinę Bóg ogłosił uniewinnienie grzeszników, które bierze początek z wiary i do wiary prowadzi. Pismo mówi bowiem: „Prawy człowiek będzie żył dzięki wierze”.
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].
Bóg okazuje jednak również swój gniew z powodu wszelkiego grzechu i nieprawości ludzi, którzy poprzez swoje złe czyny zaciemniają prawdę.
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
Wiedzą oni, jak można poznać Boga, bo On sam im to pokazał.
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)
Od czasów stworzenia bowiem niewidzialne cechy Boga—Jego odwieczną moc i boskość—można dostrzec w Jego dziełach. Nikt więc nie może się wykręcać, mówiąc, że Go nie poznał. (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].
Zatem ludzie poznali Boga, ale nie chcieli oddawać Mu czci ani dziękować. Popadli w bezsensowne rozmyślania i pogrążyli swoje serca w ciemnościach.
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
Uważając się za mądrych, w rzeczywistości stali się głupcami.
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.
Zamiast oddawać cześć wiecznemu Bogu, zaczęli otaczać kultem podobizny przemijającego człowieka oraz ptaków, czworonożnych zwierząt i płazów.
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].
Dlatego Bóg dopuścił, aby poddali się własnym pragnieniom i by hańbili swoje ciała.
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)
Bożą prawdę zamienili bowiem na kłamstwo i zaczęli czcić stworzenie zamiast Stwórcy, który jest błogosławiony na całe wieki! 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].
Dlatego właśnie Bóg dopuścił, aby poddali się bezwstydnym pragnieniom. Kobiety porzuciły współżycie zgodne z naturą i zaczęły grzeszyć przeciw naturze.
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].
Podobnie mężczyźni, odrzucili normalne współżycie z kobietami i zaczęli pragnąć siebie nawzajem, grzesząc z innymi mężczyznami i ponosząc na sobie samych karę, na jaką zasłużyli.
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.
Ponieważ ludzie nie chcieli otaczać Boga należnym Mu szacunkiem, On dopuścił, aby czynili wszystko, co tylko ich nikczemne umysły mogły wymyślić.
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].
Napełnili się więc wszelką nieprawością, złem, chciwością, zachłannością, nienawiścią, dążeniem do morderstw, kłótnią, podstępem, złośliwością i plotkarstwem.
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.
Ludzie ci nienawidzą Boga, są zuchwali, uparci, pyszni, pomysłowi w czynieniu zła i nieposłuszni rodzicom.
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].
Są głupi, podstępni, pozbawieni serca i litości dla innych.
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.
Dobrze wiedzą, że ci, którzy popełniają takie przestępstwa, zgodnie z Bożym wyrokiem podlegają karze śmierci. Mimo to jednak nadal grzeszą w ten sposób a nawet popierają innych, którzy tak postępują.
