Romans 1
1 Poul, the seruaunt of Jhesu Crist, clepid an apostle, departid in to the gospel of God;
Paulus, servus Iesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei,
2 which he hadde bihote tofore bi his profetis in holi scripturis of his sone,
quod ante promiserat per Prophetas suos in Scripturis Sanctis
3 which is maad to hym of the seed of Dauid bi the flesch,
de Filio suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem,
4 and he was bifor ordeyned the sone of God in vertu, bi the spirit of halewyng of the ayenrisyng of deed men, of Jhesu Crist oure Lord,
qui prædestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum Spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Iesu Christi Domini nostri:
5 bi whom we han resseyued grace and the office of apostle, to obeie to the feith in alle folkis for his name,
per quem accepimus gratiam, et Apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus Gentibus pro nomine eius,
6 among whiche ye ben also clepid of Jhesu Crist,
in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi:
7 to alle that ben at Rome, derlyngis of God, and clepid hooli, grace to you, and pees of God oure fadir, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist.
omnibus qui sunt Romæ, dilectis Dei, vocatis sanctis. Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
8 First Y do thankyngis to my God, bi Jhesu Crist, for alle you, for youre feith is schewid in al the world.
Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Iesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annunciatur in universo mundo.
9 For God is a witnesse to me, to whom Y serue in my spirit, in the gospel of his sone,
Testis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio Filii eius, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio
10 that with outen ceessyng Y make mynde of you euere in my preieris, and biseche, if in ony maner sum tyme Y haue a spedi weie in the wille of God to come to you.
semper in orationibus meis: obsecrans, si quomodo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos.
11 For Y desire to se you, to parten sumwhat of spiritual grace,
Desidero enim videre vos: ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiæ spiritualis ad confirmandos vos:
12 that ye be confermyd, that is, to be coumfortid togidere in you, bi feith that is bothe youre and myn togidere.
id est, simul consolari in vobis per eam, quæ invicem est, fidem vestram, atque meam.
13 And, britheren, Y nyle, that ye vnknowun, that ofte Y purposide to come to you, and Y am lett to this tyme, that Y haue sum fruyt in you, as in othere folkis.
Nolo autem vos ignorare fratres: quia sæpe proposui venire ad vos, (et prohibitus sum usque adhuc) ut aliquem fructum habeam et in vobis, sicut et in ceteris Gentibus.
14 To Grekis and to barberyns, to wise men and to vnwise men,
Græcis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum:
15 Y am dettour, so that that is in me is redi to preche the gospel also to you that ben at Rome.
ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romæ estis, evangelizare.
16 For Y schame not the gospel, for it is the vertu of God in to heelthe to ech man that bileueth, to the Jew first, and to the Greke.
Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Iudæo primum, et Græco.
17 For the riytwisnesse of God is schewid in it, of feith in to feith,
Iustitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem: sicut scriptum est: Iustus autem ex fide vivit.
18 as it is writun, For a iust man lyueth of feith. For the wraththe of God is schewid fro heuene on al vnpite and wickidnesse of tho men, that withholden the treuthe of God in vnriytwisnes.
Revelatur enim ira Dei de cælo super omnem impietatem, et iniustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in iniustitia detinent:
19 For that thing of God that is knowun, is schewid to hem, for God hath schewid to hem.
quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.
20 For the vnuysible thingis of hym, that ben vndurstondun, ben biholdun of the creature of the world, bi tho thingis that ben maad, yhe, and the euerlastynge vertu of hym and the godhed, so that thei mowe not be excusid. (aïdios g126)
Invisibilia enim ipsius, a creatura mundi, per ea quæ facta sunt, intellecta, conspiciuntur: sempiterna quoque eius virtus, et divinitas: ita ut sint inexcusabiles. (aïdios g126)
21 For whanne thei hadden knowe God, thei glorifieden hym not as God, nether diden thankyngis; but thei vanyschiden in her thouyts, and the vnwise herte of hem was derkid.
Quia cum cognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt, aut gratias egerunt: sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum:
22 For thei `seiynge that hem silf weren wise, thei weren maad foolis.
dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt.
23 And thei chaungiden the glorie of `God vncorruptible in to the licnesse of an ymage of a deedli man, and of briddis, and of foure footid beestis, and of serpentis.
Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium.
24 For which thing God bitook hem in to the desiris of her herte, in to vnclennesse, that thei punysche with wrongis her bodies in hem silf.
Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam: ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis:
25 The whiche chaungiden the treuthe of God in to leesyng, and herieden and serueden a creature rathere than to the creatoure, that is blessid in to worldis of worldis. (aiōn g165)
qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium: et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturæ potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in sæcula. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Amen. Therfor God bitook hem in to passiouns of schenschipe. For the wymmen of hem chaungiden the kyndli vss in to that vss that is ayens kynde.
Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiæ. Nam feminæ eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum, qui est contra naturam.
27 Also the men forsoken the kyndli vss of womman, and brenneden in her desiris togidere, and men in to men wrouyten filthehed, and resseyueden in to hem silf the meede that bihofte of her errour.
Similiter autem et masculi, relicto naturali usu feminæ, exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem, masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes, et mercedem, quam oportuit, erroris sui in semetipsis recipientes.
28 And as thei preueden that thei hadden not God in knowyng, God bitook hem in to a repreuable wit, that thei do tho thingis that ben not couenable; that thei ben fulfillid with al wickidnesse,
Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia: tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum: ut faciant ea, quæ non conveniunt,
29 malice, fornycacioun, coueitise, weiwardnesse, ful of enuye, mansleyngis, strijf, gile, yuel wille, preuy bacbiteris, detractouris,
repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate, susurrones,
30 hateful to God, debateris, proude, and hiy ouer mesure, fynderis of yuele thingis, not obeschynge to fadir and modir,
detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes,
31 vnwise, vnmanerli, withouten loue, withouten boond of pees, with outen merci.
insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque fœdere, sine misericordia.
32 The whiche whanne thei hadden knowe the riytwisnesse of God, vndirstoden not, that thei that don siche thingis ben worthi the deth, not oneli thei that don tho thingis, but also thei that consenten to the doeris.
Qui cum iustitiam Dei cognovissent, non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte: et non solum qui ea faciunt, sed etiam qui consentiunt facientibus.
