Romans 8
1 There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;
Nõnda siis ei ole nüüd mingit hukkamõistmist neile, kes on Kristuses Jeesuses.
2 for through your union with Christ Jesus, the Law of the life-giving Spirit has set you free from the Law of Sin and Death.
Sest elu Vaimu seadus Kristuses Jeesuses on vabastanud su patu ja surma seadusest.
3 What Law could not do, in so far as our earthly nature weakened its action, God did, by sending his own Son, with a nature resembling our sinful nature, to atone for sin. He condemned sin in that earthly nature,
Mis Moosese Seadusele oli võimatu – sest tal polnud jõudu inimloomuse vastu – seda tegi Jumal. Ta läkitas oma Poja patuse liha sarnasuses patuohvrina ja karistas pattu surmaga tema inimkehas.
4 so that the requirements of the Law might be satisfied in us who live now in obedience, not to our earthly nature, but to the Spirit.
Ta tegi seda selleks, et Seaduse õigusenõuded oleksid täidetud meis, kes me ei ela mitte oma rikutud loomuses, vaid kooskõlas Vaimuga.
5 They who follow their earthly nature are earthly-minded, while they who follow the Spirit are spiritually minded.
Sest need, kes elavad iseka loomuse järgi, mõtlevad lihalikke mõtteid, aga kes elavad Vaimu järgi, need mõtlevad sellele, mida Vaim tahab.
6 To be earthly-minded means Death, to be spiritually minded means Life and Peace;
Lihalik mõtteviis on surm, Vaimu mõtteviis aga elu ja rahu.
7 because to be earthly-minded is to be an enemy to God, for such a mind does not submit to the Law of God, nor indeed can it do so.
Sest lihalik mõtteviis on vaen Jumala vastu; see ei allu Jumala Seadusele ega suudagi seda teha.
8 They who are earthly cannot please God.
Kes on oma liha meelevallas, ei saa meeldida Jumalale.
9 You, however, are not earthly but spiritual, since the Spirit of God lives within you. Unless a man has the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ;
Kuid teie ei ela oma loomuses, vaid Vaimus, kui Jumala Vaim tõepoolest elab teie sees. Aga kellel ei ole Kristuse Vaimu, see ei ole tema oma.
10 but, if Christ is within you, then, though the body is dead as a consequence of sin, the spirit is Life as a consequence of righteousness.
Aga kui Kristus on teie sees, siis on küll ihu patu tõttu surnud, aga Vaim on õigeksmõistmise tõttu elus.
11 And, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give Life even to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit living within you.
Ja kui teis elab selle Vaim, kes Jeesuse surnust üles äratas, siis tema, kes Kristuse surnust üles äratas, teeb teiegi surelikud kehad elavaks oma Vaimu läbi, kes teis elab.
12 So then, Brothers, we owe nothing to our earthly nature, that we should live in obedience to it.
Nõnda siis, vennad ja õed, me ei ole võlgu oma rikutud loomusele, et peaksime selle järgi elama –
13 If you live in obedience to your earthly nature, you will inevitably die; but if, by the power of the Spirit, you put an end to the evil habits of the body, you will live.
sest kui te oma loomuse järgi elate, siis te surete. Aga kui te Vaimu abil ihu teod surmate, siis te elate.
14 All who are guided by the Spirit of God are Sons of God.
Sest kõik, keda iganes Jumala Vaim juhib, on Jumala lapsed.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of a slave, to fill you once more with fear, but the spirit of a son which leads us to cry ‘Abba, Our Father.’
Te ei ole ju saanud orjastavat vaimu, et peaksite jälle kartma, vaid olete saanud lapseõiguse Vaimu, kelles me hüüame: „Abba! Isa!“
16 The Spirit himself unites with our spirits in bearing witness to our being God’s children,
Seesama Vaim tunnistab koos meie vaimuga, et me oleme Jumala lapsed.
17 and if children, then heirs — heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, since we share Christ’s sufferings in order that we may also share his Glory.
Aga kui me oleme lapsed, siis oleme ka pärijad, nii Jumala pärijad kui Kristuse kaaspärijad; kui me koos temaga kannatame, siis meid ka koos temaga kirgastatakse.
18 I do not count the sufferings of our present life worthy of mention when compared with the Glory that is to be revealed and bestowed upon us.
Ma leian, et käesoleva aja kannatused ei ole kõneväärt võrreldes kirkusega, mis meis peab avalikuks saama.
19 All Nature awaits with eager expectation the appearing of the Sons of God.
Sest kogu loodu ootab pikisilmi Jumala laste avalikukssaamist.
20 For Nature was made subject to imperfection — not by its own choice, but owing to him who made it so —
On ju kogu loodu allutatud kaduvusele – mitte omal valikul, vaid allutaja tahtel, lootuses,
21 yet not without the hope that some day Nature, also, will be set free from enslavement to decay, and will attain to the freedom which will mark the Glory of the Children of God.
et ka loodu ise vabastatakse kord lagunemise orjusest ning tuuakse Jumala laste kirkuse vabadusse.
22 We know, indeed, that all Nature alike has been groaning in the pains of labour to this very hour.
Me ju teame, et kogu loodu ägab üheskoos sünnitusvaludes tänini.
23 And not Nature only; but we ourselves also, though we have already a first gift of the Spirit — we ourselves are inwardly groaning, while we eagerly await our full adoption as Sons — the redemption of our bodies.
Aga veel enam, ka meie, kes me oleme saanud esimese annina Püha Vaimu, meiegi ägame endamisi, oodates lapseõigust, oma ihu lunastust.
24 By our hope we were saved. But the thing hoped for is no longer an object of hope when it is before our eyes; for who hopes for what is before his eyes?
Sest me oleme päästetud lootuses. Ent juba nähtava lootmine ei ole lootus. Sest kes loodab veel seda, mis juba on näha?
25 But when we hope for what is not before our eyes, then we wait for it with patience.
Aga kui me loodame seda, mida ei näe, siis me ootame seda kannatlikult.
26 So, also, the Spirit supports us in our weakness. We do not even know how to pray as we should; but the Spirit himself pleads for us in sighs that can find no utterance.
Samuti tuleb ka Vaim appi meie nõtruses: me ju ei tea, mille eest me peame palvetama, kuid Vaim ise palub meie eest sõnatu ägamisega.
27 Yet he who searches all our hearts knows what the Spirit’s meaning is, because the pleadings of the Spirit for Christ’s People are in accordance with his will.
Ja tema, kes uurib meie südameid, mõistab Vaimu mõtteid, sest Jumala tahtmise järgi palub ta pühade eest.
28 But we do know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love him — those who have received the Call in accordance with his purpose.
Ent me teame, et neile, kes Jumalat armastavad, laseb Jumal kõik tulla heaks – neile, kes on tema kavatsuse kohaselt kutsutud.
29 For those whom God chose from the first he also destined from the first to be transformed into likeness to his Son, so that his Son might be the eldest among many Brothers.
Sest neid, keda Jumal on eelnevalt valinud, on ta ka eelnevalt määranud saama tema Poja sarnaseks, et tema oleks esmasündinu paljude vendade seas.
30 And those whom God destined for this he also called; and those whom he called he also pronounced righteous; and those whom he pronounced righteous he also brought to Glory.
Ja keda ta on eelnevalt määranud, neid on ta ka kutsunud; ja keda ta on kutsunud, need on ta ka õigeks teinud; ja keda ta on õigeks teinud, neid on ta ka kirgastanud.
31 What are we to say, then, in the light of all this? If God is on our side, who can there be against us?
Mis me siis ütleme, arvestades kõike seda? Kui Jumal on meie poolt, kes suudab olla meie vastu?
32 God did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up on behalf of us all; will he not, then, with him, freely give us all things?
Tema, kes oma Poegagi ei säästnud, vaid loovutas tema meie kõikide eest, kuidas ta ei peaks siis koos Pojaga meile kõike muud kinkima?
33 Who will bring a charge against any of God’s People? He who pronounces them righteous is God!
Kes võiks süüdistada Jumala valituid? Jumal on see, kes õigeks teeb!
34 Who is there to condemn them? He who died for us is Christ Jesus! — or, rather, it was he who was raised from the dead, and who is now at God’s right hand and is even pleading on our behalf!
Kes võib meid hukka mõista? Kristus Jeesus on, kes suri, kuid veel enam, kes üles äratati, kes on Jumala paremal käel ja kes palub meie eest!
35 Who is there to separate us from the love of the Christ? Will trouble, or difficulty, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?
Kes võiks lahutada meid Kristuse armastusest? Kas viletsus või ahistus või tagakiusamine või nälg või alastiolek või hädaoht või hukkamine?
36 Scripture says — ‘For thy sake we are being killed all the day long, We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.’
Nagu on kirjutatud: „Sinu pärast seisame me surmasuus päev otsa, me oleme kui lambad, kes on määratud tapmisele.“
37 Yet amidst all these things we more than conquer through him who loved us!
Kuid selles kõiges me võidame ülivõimsalt tema läbi, kes meid on armastanud.
38 For I am persuaded that neither Death, nor Life, nor Angels, nor Archangels, nor the Present, nor the Future, nor any Powers,
Sest ma olen veendunud, et ei surm ega elu, ei inglid ega valitsused, ei miski praegu ega tulevikus, ei väed,
39 nor Height, nor Depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus, our Lord!
ei kõrgus ega sügavus ega miski muu loodu ei suuda lahutada meid Jumala armastusest, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses, meie Issandas.
