Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,
See kiri on Pauluselt, Jeesuse Kristuse sulaselt. Mind kutsus apostliks Jumal. Jumal määras mind kuulutama head sõnumit,
2 (Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures)
mida ta eelnevalt on? Pühakirjas oma prohvetite kaudu tõotanud.
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh.
Hea sõnum on tema Pojast, kelle inimesest esiisa oli Taavet,
4 And declared [to be] the Son of God, with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
kuid kes sai avalikuks kui Jumala Poeg, kui ta Püha Vaimu väel surnuist üles tõusis. Tema on Jeesus Kristus, meie Issand.
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his name:
Tema kaudu sain eesõiguse olla apostel, et kutsuda kõiki rahvaid kuulekalt temasse uskuma.
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Ka teie olete nende hulgas, keda kutsuti Jeesusele Kristusele kuuluma.
7 To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ma kirjutan teile kõigile, kes olete Roomas, keda Jumal armastab ja keda ta on oma eriliseks rahvaks kutsunud. Armu ja rahu teile Jumalalt, meie Isalt, ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Lubage, et ma kõigepealt tänan oma Jumalat Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu teie kõigi eest, sest sellest, kuidas te Jumalasse usute, räägitakse kogu maailmas.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,
Ma palvetan alati teie eest, nagu võib kinnitada Jumal − see Jumal, keda ma teenin kogu oma olemusega, kui jagan head sõnumit tema Pojast.
10 Making request (if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God) to come to you.
Oma palvetes palun ma alati, et võiksin lõpuks tulla ja teiega kohtuda, kui Jumal seda tahab.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Ma tõesti tahan teid külastada ja jagada teiega vaimulikku õnnistust teie kinnitamiseks.
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Nii saame koos julgustust üksteise usust Jumalasse, nii teie usust kui ka minu omast.
13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you (but have been hitherto hindered) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Mu vennad ja õed, ma tahan, et te teaksite, et olen sageli teinud plaane teie külastamiseks, kuid mind ei ole seni lastud tulla. Ma tahan näha teie keskel häid vaimulikke tulemusi, nagu ma olen näinud teiste inimeste hulgas.
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians, both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Sest mul on kohustus töötada nii tsiviliseeritute kui ka tsiviliseerimatute, nii haritute kui ka harimatute heaks.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Sellepärast soovin ma tõesti innukalt tulla Roomasse ja jagada teiega head sõnumit.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Kindlasti ei häbene ma head sõnumit, sest see on Jumala vägi päästa igaüht, kes temasse usub − kõigepealt juute ja siis ka kõiki teisi.
17 For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Sest hea sõnum näitab Jumalat kui head ja õiget, usaldusväärset algusest lõpuni. Nagu Pühakiri ütleb: „Kes on õiged Jumala ees, elavad teda uskudes.“
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
Jumala vastumeelsust ilmutatakse taevast nende vastu, kes on jumalatud ja kes ei ole moraalselt õiged, nende vastu, kes summutavad tõde halvaga, mida nad teevad.
19 Because that which may be known of God, is manifest in them; for God hath shown [it] to them.
See, mida on võimalik Jumala kohta teada, on ilmne, sest ta on selle neile väga selgeks teinud.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)
Juba alates maailma loomisest on Jumala nähtamatu olemus − tema igavene vägi ja jumalikkus − selgelt nähtav selles, mida ta on teinud. Sellistel inimestel ei ole vabandust, (aïdios g126)
21 Because that when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
sest kuigi nad tundsid Jumalat, ei kiitnud ega ülistanud nad teda, vaid selle asemel muutus nende arvamus Jumalast täielikuks rumaluseks ning nende tühja mõistust täitis pimedus.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools:
Kuigi nad väitsid, et on targad, said nad rumalaks.
23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping animals.
Nad vahetasid surematu Jumala hiilguse surelike inimeste, lindude, loomade ja roomajate kujutiste vastu.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Niisiis jättis Jumal nad nende rikutud mõistuse kurjade soovide küüsi ja nad tegid üksteisele häbiväärseid, alandavaid asju.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Nad vahetasid Jumala tõe vale vastu ning kummardasid ja teenisid loodolevusi, mitte Loojat, kes on väärt kiitust igavesti. Aamen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections. For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Sellepärast jättis Jumal nad nende kurjade soovide küüsi. Nende naised vahetasid loomupärase seksuaalsuse ebaloomuliku vastu,
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
ning samamoodi loobusid mehed seksist naistega ja põlesid himust üksteise vastu. Mehed tegid üksteisega sündsusetuid asju ning selle tulemusena tabasid neid nende loomuvastasuse paratamatud tagajärjed.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Kuna nad ei pidanud väärtuslikuks Jumala tundmaõppimist, jättis ta neid nende väärtusetu, usaldamatu mõtteviisi küüsi, tegema seda, mida ei tohiks kunagi teha.
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Nad täitsid end kõigega, mis on vale: kurjuse, ahnuse, vihkamise, kadeduse, mõrvamise, tülitsemise, petmise, kuritahtlikkuse ja tagarääkimisega.
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Nad on tagaselja halvustavad ja Jumala vihkajad. Nad on ülbed, uhked ja hooplevad. Nad leiutavad uusi viise patustamiseks. Nad hakkavad oma vanematele vastu.
31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Nad ei taha aru saada, nad ei pea lubadusi, nad ei ilmuta mingit lahkust ega kaastunnet.
32 Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death; not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Kuigi nad mõistavad täpselt, mida Jumal nõuab, teevad nad seda, mis on surma väärt. Nad ei tee seda mitte ainult ise, vaid nad toetavad selles ka teisi.
