Romans 1

1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,

Paulus, Jesu Christi tjenare, kallad till Apostel, afskild till att predika Guds Evangelium;

2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,

Hvilket han tillförene utlofvat hafver, genom sina Propheter i den Helga Skrift,

3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,

Om sin Son, den född är af Davids säd, efter köttet;

4 but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,

Hvilken är krafteliga bevisad Guds Son, efter Andan som helgar, deraf att han stod upp ifrå de döda, nämliga Jesus Christus, vår Herre;

5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,

Genom hvilken vi hafve fått nåd, och Apostlaämbete, till att upprätta trones lydno ibland alla Hedningar, i hans Namn;

6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:

Ibland hvilka I ock ären kallade af Jesu Christo;

7 To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Allom dem som i Rom äro, Guds kärestom, kalladom heligom. Nåd vare med eder, och frid af Gudi vårom Fader, och Herranom Jesu Christo.

8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.

I förstone tackar jag min Gud, gjenom Jesum Christum, för eder alla, att i hela verldene talas om edra tro.

9 I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,

Ty Gud är mitt vittne, hvilkom jag tjenar i minom anda, uti Evangelio som är om hans Son, att jag utan återvändo tänker på eder;

10 always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.

Bedjandes alltid i mina böner, att jag dock någon tid måtte få en lyckosam väg, om Gud ville, till att komma till eder.

11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;

Ty jag åstundar se eder, på det jag måtte några andeliga gåfvo dela med eder, till att styrka eder;

12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.

Det är, att jag, samt med eder, måtte få hugsvalelse, genom begges våra tro, edra och mina.

13 And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.

Jag vill icke dölja för eder, bröder, att jag hafver ofta haft i sinnet komma till eder, ändock jag hafver varit förhindrad allt härtill; på det jag måtte ock någon frukt skaffa ibland eder, såsom ibland andra Hedningar.

14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:

Jag är pligtig både Greker och Barbarer, både visa och ovisa.

15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

Derföre, så mycket mig står till görandes, är jag redebogen att jag ock predikar eder Evangelium, som i Rom ären.

16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

Ty jag skämmes icke vid Christi Evangelium; ty det är Guds kraft allom dem till salighet som tro; Judomen först, så ock Grekomen;

17 For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."

Derföre att derutinnan varder Guds rättfärdighet uppenbar, af tro i tro; som skrifvet är: Den rättfärdige skall lefva af sine tro.

18 For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:

Ty Guds vrede af himmelen varder uppenbar öfver alla menniskornas ogudaktighet och orättfärdighet, de der förhålla sanningena i orättfärdighet.

19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.

Ty det, som förstås kan om Gud, är dem uppenbart; ty Gud hafver dem det uppenbarat;

20 For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

Dermed att hans osynliga väsende, och hans eviga kraft och Gudom varder beskådad, när de besinnas af gerningarna, nämliga af verldenes skapelse; så att de äro utan ursäkt; (aïdios g126)

21 For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.

Medan de förstodo Gud, och hafva icke prisat honom som en Gud, och ej heller tackat; utan vordo fåfängelige i sina tankar, och deras oförnuftiga hjerta är vordet mörkt.

22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,

Då de höllo sig för visa, äro de vordne dårar;

23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.

Och hafva förvandlat dens oförgängeliga Guds härlighet uti beläte, det ej allenast gjordt var efter förgängeliga menniskors, utan jemväl efter foglars, och fyrafött och krypande djurs liknelse.

24 For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.

Derföre hafver ock Gud öfvergifvit dem i deras hjertans lustar, uti orenlighet, till att skämma sin lekamen inbördes;

25 For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Hvilke förvandlat hafva Guds sanning i lögn; och hafva ärat och dyrkat de ting, som skapad äro, öfver honom som dem skapat hafver, hvilken är välsignad evinnerliga. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,

Derföre hafver ock Gud öfvergifvit dem i skamliga lustar; ty deras qvinnor hafva förvandlat den naturliga brukningena uti den, som är emot naturen.

27 in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

Sammaledes ock männerna hafva öfvergifvit den naturliga qvinnones brukning, och hafva brunnit i sin lusta till hvarannan; man med man bedrifvit slemhet, och fått, som tillbörligit var, deras villos rätta lön i sig sjelfvom.

28 And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.

Och såsom de intet aktade hafva Gud i känslo, hafver Gud öfvergifvit dem i ett vrångt sinne, till att bedrifva obeqvämlig ting;

29 Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.

Fulle med all orättfärdighet, boleri, arghet, girighet, ondsko; fulle med afund, mord, kif, svek, otukt;

30 They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,

Örnatasslare, bakdantare, Guds föraktare, våldsverkare, högfärdige, stolte, illfundige, föräldromen olydige;

31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.

Oförnuftige, ordlöse, okärlige, trolöse, obarmhertige;

32 In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.

Hvilke, ändå de Guds rättviso veta, att de som sådant göra äro värde döden, likväl göra de det icke allenast, utan ock hålla med dem som det göra.
