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].
Павел, слуга Ісуса Христа, покликаний апостол, вибраний на благовістуваннє Боже,
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.
(котре наперед обіцяв [Бог] через пророків своїх у сьвятих писаннях, )
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.
про Сина свого (народженого з насїння Давидового по тілу,
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.
обявленого Сина Божого в силї, по Духу сьвятости, через воскресеннє в мертвих), Ісуса Христа, Господа нашого,
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].
(котрим прийняли ми благодать і апостольство на впокореннє вірі між усїма народами ради імени Його,
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
між котрими й ви покликані, Ісус-Христові; )
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.
Усїм вам, що єсте в Римі, любленим від Бога, покликаним сьвятим: благодать вам і впоюй од Бога, Отця нашого, і Господа Ісуса Христа.
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.
Перш усего дякую Богові моєму через Ісуса Христа за всіх вас, що віра ваша проповідуєть ся по всему сьвіту.
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].
Сьвідок менї Бог, котрому служу духом моїм у благовіствуванню Сина Його, що без перестану спомни про вас роблю,
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
усе в молитвах моїх молючись, щоб колись довелось менї по волї Божій, прийти до вас.
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
Бажаю бо бачити вас, щоб передати вам даруваннє духовне дла утвердження вашого;
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].
се ж єсть утішитись укупі з вами спільною вірою вашою і моєю.
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].
Не хочу ж таїти од вас, браттє, що часто заміряв я прийти до вас (та й досї спиняло мене), щоб який овощ мати й між вами, яко ж і між иншими поганами.
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.
Єленянам і чужоземцям, мудрим і нерозумним довжен я.
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
От же, що до мене, готов я й вам, що в Римі, благовіствувати.
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.
Бо не соромлюсь благовіствування Христового, сила бо Божа на спасеннє всякому віруючому, Жидовинові перше, а потім і Грекові.
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].”
Правда бо Божа в йому відкриваєть ся до віри в віру, яко ж написано: Праведний вірою жив буде.
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].
Одкриваєть ся бо гнїв Божий з неба на всяке нечесте і неправду людей, що держить істину в неправді.
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
Тим, що розумне про Бога, явно в них; Бог бо явившім.
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)
Невидиме бо Його від создання сьвіту думаннєм про твори робить ся видиме, і вічна Його сила і божество, щоб бути їм без оправдання. (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].
Тим, що знаючи Бога, не яко Бога прославляли або дякували, а осуєтились думками своїми і оморочилось нерозумне серце їх.
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
Славлячи себе мудрими, потуманїли,
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.
і обернули славу нетлінного Бога на подобину образа тлінного чоловіка, і птиць і четвероногих і гаду.
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].
Тим же й передав їх Бог нечистотї в похотях сердець їх, щоб сквернили тїла свої між самими собою.
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)
Вони перемінили істину Божу на лжу і поклонялись і служили тварі більш Творця, котрий благословен на віки. Амінь. (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].
За се передав їх Бог карі безчестя, бо й жінки їх обернула природню подобу на протиприродню;
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].
так само й чоловіки, оставивши природне вживаннє женського полу, розгорілись похоттю своєю один на одного, чоловіки на чоловіках сором роблячи, і заплату, яка подобала заблудові їх, у собі приймаючи.
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.
І, яко ж не вподобалось їм мати Бога в розумі, передав їх Бог ледачому уму, робити неподобне,
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].
сповнених усякої неправди, перелюбу, лукавства, зажерливостя, злоби, сповнених зависти, убийства, сварнї, підступу, лихих звичаїв,
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.
осудників, поклїпників, богоневавидників, гордувників, хвастунів, пишних, видумщиків лихого, родителям непокірних,
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].
нерозумних, ламателїв умови, нелюбовних, невбдагальних, немилостивих.
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.
Котрі, хоч Божий присуд розуміють, що хто таке робить, достоїн смерти, не тільки самі се роблять, та й похваляють роблячих.
