< Rómaiakhoz 1 >
1 Pál, Jézus Krisztusnak szolgája, elhívott apostol, elválasztva Isten evangyéliomának hirdetésére.
[I], Paul, who serve Christ Jesus, [am writing this letter]. God chose me to be an apostle, and I was appointed by him {he appointed me} in order that [I should proclaim] (the good message/the gospel) that [comes from him].
2 Melyet eleve megígért az ő prófétái által a szentírásokban,
Long before [Jesus came to earth, God] promised [that he would reveal] this good message by means of what his prophets [wrote] in the sacred Scriptures.
3 Az ő Fia felől, a ki Dávid magvából lett test szerint,
This good message is [about the one whom we know as] his Son. As to his Son’s physical/human nature, he was born a descendant of [King] David.
4 A ki megbizonyíttatott hatalmasan Isten Fiának a szentség Lelke szerint, a halálból való feltámadás által, a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus felől,
As to his divine nature, it was shown {[God] showed} powerfully that he is (God’s own Son/the man who is also God). [God] showed this by his Holy Spirit causing him to become alive again after he died. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
5 A ki által vettük a kegyelmet és az apostolságot a hitben való engedelmességnek okáért, minden pogányok között, az ő nevéért;
He is the one who appointed me, who did not deserve it, [to be] an apostle. He did that in order that [many] among the non-Jews would honor [him] and would obey him as a result of their believing [my message about him].
6 Kik között vagytok ti is, Jézus Krisztusnak hivatalosai:
You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 Mindeneknek, a kik Rómában vagytok, Isten szerelmeseinek, hivatalos szenteknek: Kegyelem néktek és békesség Istentől, a mi Atyánktól és az Úr Jézus Krisztustól.
[I am writing this letter] to all of [you in Rome] whom God loves and whom he has chosen [to become his] people. [I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will [continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
8 Először hálát adok az én Istenemnek a Jézus Krisztus által mindnyájatokért, hogy a ti hiteteknek az egész világon híre van;
As I begin [this letter], I thank my God for all you [believers in Rome]. It is because of [what] Jesus Christ [has done for us that] I [am able to do that]. I thank him because your trusting [in Jesus Christ] is something that people all over [the Roman Empire] [HYP] are talking about.
9 Mert bizonyságom nékem az Isten, kinek lelkem szerint szolgálok az ő Fiának evangyéliomában, hogy szüntelen emlékezem felőletek,
God, whom I devotedly serve as I [proclaim to people] the gospel concerning his Son, knows that I tell the truth when I say that I always mention you whenever [DOU] I pray [to God] [HYP].
10 Imádkozásaimban mindenkor könyörögvén, vajha egyszer már jó szerencsés út adódnék nékem Istennek akaratából, hogy hozzátok mehessek;
I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
11 Mert kívánlak titeket látni, hogy valami lelki ajándékot közölhessek veletek a ti megerősítésetekre,
[I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
12 Azaz, hogy együtt felbuzduljunk ti nálatok egymás hite által, a tiétek meg az enyém által.
I long to visit you in order that you and I might encourage each other [by means of our sharing with each other] how each of us trusts [in Jesus].
13 Nem akarom pedig, hogy ne tudjátok atyámfiai, hogy én gyakran elvégeztem magamban, hogy elmegyek hozzátok (de mindez ideig megakadályoztattam), hogy köztetek is nyerjek valami lelki gyümölcsöt, mint a többi pogányok közt is.
My fellow believers, many times I planned to visit you. I certainly want you to know [LIT] that. [But I have not been able to come to you because] I have been hindered {[things] have always prevented me} until the present time. I have wanted to come in order that I might help you to mature spiritually [IDM], as [I have helped people to mature spiritually] in many other non-Jewish groups [HYP].
14 Mind a görögöknek, mind a barbároknak, mind a bölcseknek, mind a tudatlanoknak köteles vagyok.
I feel obliged [to proclaim the gospel to all non-Jewish people], specifically to [people who know] the Greek [language and culture] and to those who do not know it, to people who are educated and to those who are uneducated.
15 Azért a mi rajtam áll, kész vagyok néktek is, a kik Rómában vagytok, az evangyéliomot hirdetni.
So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
16 Mert nem szégyenlem a Krisztus evangyéliomát; mert Istennek hatalma az minden hívőnek idvességére, zsidónak először meg görögnek.
[That leads me to say that] I very confidently proclaim [LIT] the good message [about what Christ has done], because this good message is the powerful [means] that God [uses] to save [from the guilt of their sins] all people who trust [in what Christ has done for them]. Specifically, God first has saved the Jews [who believe the good message], and then he has saved non-Jews.
17 Mert az Istennek igazsága jelentetik ki abban hitből hitbe, miképen meg van írva: Az igaz ember pedig hitből él.
By means of this good message God reveals how he erases the record of people’s sins (OR, declares people no longer guilty for having sinned); and his doing this is entirely because [IDM] they trust [in Christ. This is confirmed] by what [a prophet long ago] wrote [that God said], “Those (whose record of sin [I] have erased/whom [I] have declared no longer guilty for sin) because they trust [in me] will live [forever].”
18 Mert nyilván van az Istennek haragja mennyből, az embereknek minden hitetlensége és hamissága ellen, kik az igazságot hamissággal feltartóztatják.
From [where God rules in] heaven he is making it clear to all [non-Jewish] people who show no respect for God and who do wicked things, that he is angry with them [and that they deserve to be punished] {[that he would punish them]} [MTY]. By means of [their behaving] wickedly, they keep other people [from believing what they know] to be true [about God].
19 Mert a mi az Isten felől tudható nyilván van ő bennök; mert az Isten megjelentette nékik:
[Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
20 Mert a mi Istenben láthatatlan, tudniillik az ő örökké való hatalma és istensége, a világ teremtésétől fogva az ő alkotásaiból megértetvén megláttatik; úgy, hogy ők menthetetlenek. (aïdios )
[People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios )
21 Mert bár az Istent megismerték, mindazáltal nem mint Istent dicsőítették őt, sem néki hálákat nem adtak; hanem az ő okoskodásaikban hiábavalókká lettek, és az ő balgatag szívök megsötétedett.
Although [the non-Jews] knew what God [is like], they did not honor him as God, nor did they thank [him for what he had done]. But instead, they began to think foolish [things about him], and they became unable to understand [MET] [what he wanted them to know].
22 Magokat bölcseknek vallván, balgatagokká lettek;
Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
23 És az örökkévaló Istennek dicsőségét felcserélték a mulandó embereknek és madaraknak és négylábú állatoknak és csúszó-mászó állatoknak képmásával.
and they refused to [admit that] God is glorious and will never die. Instead, they made and worshipped idols [that resembled people who] will some day die, and [then they made other idols that resembled] birds and four-footed animals, and [finally] they made idols that resembled reptiles.
24 Annakokáért adta is őket az Isten szívök kivánságaiban tisztátalanságra, hogy egymás testét megszeplősítsék;
So God allowed [the non-Jews] do immoral sexual things that they [SYN] strongly desired, things [that their desires were compelling them to do]. As a result, they [began to] dishonor each other’s bodies [by their sexual actions].
25 Mint a kik az Isten igazságát hazugsággá változtatták, és a teremtett dolgokat tisztelték és szolgálták a teremtő helyett, a ki mind örökké áldott. Ámen. (aiōn )
Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn )
26 Annakokáért adta őket az Isten tisztátalan indulatokra; mert az ő asszonynépeik is elváltoztatták a természet folyását természetellenesre:
So, God allowed [the non-Jews to do] shameful [sexual] things that they [strongly] desired. As a result, many women did not have natural sexual relations [with their husbands] [EUP]. Instead, they were doing sexual actions with other women [EUP].
27 Hasonlóképen a férfiak is elhagyván az asszonynéppel való természetes élést, egymásra gerjedtek bujaságukban, férfiak férfiakkal fertelmeskedvén, és az ő tévelygésöknek méltó jutalmát elvevén önmagokban.
Similarly, [many] men stopped having/did not have natural sexual relations with women [EUP]. Instead, they strongly desired to have sexual relations with other men. They committed [homosexual] acts with other men, acts that were shameful. As a result, [God has] punished them [by sicknesses] in their bodies, which is what they deserve [because] they [thought] wrongly [that God would not punish them for doing that].
28 És a miképen nem méltatták az Istent arra, hogy ismeretökben megtartsák, azonképen oda adták őket az Isten méltatlan gondolkozásra, hogy illetlen dolgokat cselekedjenek;
Furthermore, because they decided that it was not [worthwhile] to know God, he allowed their own worthless thoughts [to completely control them]. As a result, they began doing [evil] things that [God says that people] should not do.
29 A kik teljesek minden hamissággal, paráznasággal, gonoszsággal, kapzsisággal, rosszasággal; rakvák, írigységgel, gyilkossággal, versengéssel, álnoksággal, rossz erkölcscsel;
They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] unrighteous [things]. They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] evil things [to others]. They strongly desire to possess things that [belong to others]. They strongly desire to harm [others] in various ways. [Many non-Jews] are constantly envying [other people. Many] constantly desire to murder [people. Many] constantly desire to cause strife [between people. Many] constantly desire to deceive [others. Many] constantly desire to speak hatefully [about others] (OR, [to speak harmful things about others, things that are not true]). [Many] gossip [about others].
30 Súsárlók, rágalmazók, istengyűlölők, dölyfösek, kevélyek, dicsekedők, rosszban mesterkedők, szüleiknek engedetlenek,
[Many] slander [others. Many] act especially hatefully toward God. [Many] speak or act in an insulting way [toward others. Many] treat others contemptuously. [Many] boast [about themselves to others. Many] invent new ways to do evil things. [Many non-Jewish children] disobey their parents.
31 Balgatagok, összeférhetetlenek, szeretet nélkül valók, engesztelhetetlenek, irgalmatlanok.
[Many non-Jews] act in other morally foolish ways. [Many] do not do what they promised [others that they would do. Many] do not [even] love [their own family members. And many] do not act mercifully [toward other people].
32 Kik jóllehet az Isten végzését ismerik, hogy a kik ilyeneket cselekesznek, méltók a halálra, mégis nemcsak cselekszik azokat, hanem az akképen cselekvőkkel egyet is értenek.
Although they know that God has declared that those who do such things deserve to be killed, they not only habitually do these [kinds of evil] things, but they also approve of others who habitually do them.
