< 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].
Paweł, sługa Jezusa Chrystusa, powołany Apostoł, odłączony ku opowiadaniu Ewangielii Bożej;
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.
Którą przedtem obiecał przez proroki swoje w pismach świętych,
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.
O Synu swoim, który się narodził z nasienia Dawidowego według ciała;
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.
A pokazał się Synem Bożym możnie, według Ducha poświęcenia, przez zmartwychwstanie, to jest o Jezusie Chrystusie, Panu naszym.
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].
Przez którego wzięliśmy łaskę i urząd apostolski ku posłuszeństwu wiary między wszystkimi narody, dla imienia jego;
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
Między którymi jesteście i wy powołani od 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, którzy jesteście w Rzymie, umiłowanym Bożym, powołanym świętym, łaska niech będzie wam i pokój od Boga, Ojca naszego, i od 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.
Najprzód tedy dziękuję Bogu mojemu przez Jezusa Chrystusa za was wszystkich, iż wiara wasza słynie po wszystkim 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].
Świadkiem mi bowiem jest on Bóg, któremu służę w duchu moim w Ewangielii Syna jego, iż bez przestanku wzmiankę o was czynię,
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
Zawsze w modlitwach moich prosząc, iżby mi się wżdy kiedykolwiek droga zdarzyła za wolą Bożą przyjść do was.
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
Albowiem pragnę was widzieć, abym wam mógł udzielić jakiego daru duchownego ku utwierdzeniu waszemu;
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].
To jest, abyśmy się u was zobopólnie ucieszyli przez społeczną wiarę, i waszę, i moję.
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].
A nie chcę, abyście i wy wiedzieć nie mieli, bracia! żem często zamyślał pójść do was; (alem był dotąd zawściągniony), abym miał jaki pożytek i między wami, jako i między inszymi pogany.
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.
I Grekom, i grubym narodom, i mądrym, i głupim jestem dłużnikiem,
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
Tak, iż ile ze mnie jest, gotowym jest i wam, którzyście w Rzymie, Ewangieliję opowiadać.
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.
Albowiem nie wstydzę się za Ewangieliję Chrystusową, ponieważ jest mocą Bożą ku zbawieniu każdemu wierzącemu, Żydowi najprzód, potem i Greczynowi.
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].”
Bo sprawiedliwość Boża w niej bywa objawiona z wiary w wiarę, jako napisano: Że sprawiedliwy z wiary żyć będzie.
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].
Bo gniew Boży objawia się z nieba przeciwko wszelkiej niepobożności i niesprawiedliwości tych ludzi, którzy zatrzymują prawdę Bożą w niesprawiedliwości.
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
Przeto iż co może być wiedziano o Bogu, jest w nich jawno, gdyż im Bóg objawił.
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 )
Bo rzeczy jego niewidzialne od stworzenia świata, przez rzeczy uczynione widzialne bywają, to jest ona wieczna jego moc i bóstwo, na to, aby oni byli bez wymówki. (aïdios )
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].
Przeto iż poznawszy Boga, nie chwalili jako Boga, ani mu dziękowali, owszem znikczemnieli w myślach swoich i zaćmiło się bezrozumne serce ich;
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
Mieniąc się być mądrymi, zgłupieli;
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.
I odmienili chwałę nieskazitelnego Boga w podobieństwo obrazu skazitelnego człowieka i ptaków, i czworonogich 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].
A przetoż podał je Bóg pożądliwościom serc ich ku nieczystości, aby lżyli ciała swoje między sobą,
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 )
Jako te, którzy odmienili prawdę Bożą w kłamstwo i chwalili stworzenie, i służyli mu raczej niż Stworzycielowi, który jest błogosławiony na wieki. Amen. (aiōn )
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 podał je Bóg w namiętności sromotne, gdyż i niewiasty ich odmieniły używanie przyrodzone w ono, które jest przeciwko przyrodzeniu.
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].
Także i mężczyźni opuściwszy przyrodzone używanie niewiasty, zapalili się w swej pożądliwości jedni ku drugim, mężczyzna z mężczyzną hańbę płodząc, a nagrodę należącą błędowi swemu na się biorąc.
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.
A jako się im nie upodobało mieć w znajomości Boga, tak też Bóg je podał w umysł opaczny, aby czynili, co nie przystoi;
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].
Napełnieni będąc wszelakiej nieprawości, wszeteczeństwa, przewrotności, łakomstwa, złości, pełni zazdrości, morderstwa, sporu, zdrady, złych obyczajów;
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.
Zausznicy, obmówcy, Boga nienawidzący, potwarcy, pyszni, chlubni, wynalazcy złych rzeczy, rodzicom nieposłuszni,
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].
Bezrozumni, przymierza nie trzymający, bez przyrodzonej miłości, nieprzejednani i niemiłosierni;
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.
Którzy poznawszy prawo Boże, iż ci, co takowe rzeczy czynią, godni są śmierci, nie tylko sami je czynią, ale też przestawają z tymi, co je czynią.
