Romans 1
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
Pauluselt, Kristuse Jeesuse sulaselt, kes on kutsutud apostliks ja valitud levitama Jumala evangeeliumi,
2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
mida Jumal on oma prohvetite kaudu Pühakirjas ette tõotanud,
3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
sõnumit tema Pojast – kes maises elus pärines Taaveti soost
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,
ja on pühaduse Vaimu väes kinnitatud Jumala Pojaks pärast surnuist ülestõusmist – Jeesusest Kristusest, meie Issandast.
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,
Tema läbi me oleme saanud armu ja apostliameti, et levitada usukuulekust tema nime auks mittejuutide keskel,
6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
kelle hulgas teiegi olete kutsutud kuuluma Jeesusele Kristusele.
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.
Kõigile Jumala armastatuile Roomas, teile, keda tema on kutsunud pühaks rahvaks: Armu ja rahu teile meie Isalt Jumalalt ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!
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.
Kõigepealt ma tänan oma Jumalat Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu teie kõigi eest, sest teie usust kõneldakse kogu maailmas.
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,
Sest Jumal, keda ma oma vaimus teenin, levitades evangeeliumi tema Pojast, võib tunnistada, kuidas ma teid alatasa meenutan
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.
oma palveis igal ajal ja anun, et mul Jumala tahtel ehk lõpuks ometi läheks korda teid külastada.
11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
Ma ju igatsen teid näha, et võiksin anda teile vaimulikult midagi, mis teeb teid tugevaks;
12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
see tähendab, et saaksime vastastikku julgustust üksteiselt – teie minu ja mina teie usu läbi.
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.
Ärgu olgu teil teadmata, vennad ja õed, et ma olen palju kordi kavatsenud teid külastada, et mul võiks olla vilja ka teie keskel, nii nagu teiste mittejuutide seas, aga siiani on mind ikka takistatud.
14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
Ma olen ju võlglane nii kreeklaste kui võõramaalaste, nii tarkade kui rumalate ees;
15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
seepärast olen täis tahtmist kuulutada evangeeliumi ka teie juures Roomas.
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.
Ma ei häbene evangeeliumi, sest see on Jumala vägi päästeks igaühele, kes usub – esmalt juudile, siis ka mittejuudile.
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."
Sest evangeeliumis avaldub see, kuidas Jumal inimesi õigeks teeb – algusest lõpuni usu alusel, nõnda nagu on kirjutatud: „Õige jääb usust elama!“
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:
Kuid Jumala viha avaldub taevast inimeste kogu kurjuse ja ülekohtu vastu, mida nad teevad, lämmatades tõde ülekohtuga.
19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
Sest see, mida on võimalik teada Jumalast, on nende keskel avalik – Jumal on selle neile avaldanud.
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)
Tema nähtamatu olemus, tema muutumatu vägi ja jumalikkus on ju maailma loomisest peale selgesti näha, arusaadavad tema tööde põhjal. Nõnda ei ole neil mingit vabandust, (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.
sest tundes Jumalat, ei ole nad teda ülistanud ja tänanud kui Jumalat, vaid on andunud tühistele targutustele ja nende mõistmatu süda on mattunud pimedusse.
22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
Väites end olevat targad, on nad muutunud rumalaks
23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
ning kadumatu Jumala kirkuse vahetanud kaduva inimese, lindude, neljajalgsete ja roomajate kujutise vastu.
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.
Seepärast on Jumal nad andnud nende südame himudes rüveduse kütkesse, isekeskis oma keha häbistama.
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)
Nad on Jumala tõe vahetanud vale vastu ning ülistanud ja teeninud loodut Looja asemel, kes on kiidetud igavesti! Aamen. (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,
Seepärast on Jumal andnud nad häbiväärsete himude meelevalda: nende naised on asendanud loomuliku vahekorra loomuvastasega.
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.
Samamoodi on mehed loobunud loomulikust vahekorrast naisega ning oma himus süttinud üksteisest; käitunud sündmatult mees mehega ja iseenestes saanud kätte kohase karistuse oma eksimuse eest.
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.
Veel enam, kuna nad ei pidanud väärtuslikuks Jumala tundmist, andis Jumal nad kõlvatu mõtteviisi meelevalda tegema seda, mis on väär.
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.
Nad on täis kõikvõimalikku ebaõiglust, kurjust, ahnust ja halba; täis kadedust, mõrvu, riidu, kavalust ja pahatahtlikkust. Nad on keelepeksjad,
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,
laimajad, Jumala vihkajad, vägivaldsed, ülbed, hooplejad, leidlikud kurjale, vastuhakkajad vanemaile,
31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
mõistmatud, sõnamurdjad, kalgi südamega, halastamatud.
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.
Nad küll teavad hästi Jumala otsust, et need, kes selliseid asju teevad, on surma väärt, kuid ei tee mitte ainult sedasama, vaid kiidavad heaks ka need, kes nii teevad.
