Romanos 1

1 Paulus servus Christi Iesu vocatus apostolus segregatus in evangelium Dei

Paul, a servant of Messiah Yeshua, called to be an emissary, set apart for the Good News of God,

2 quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in scripturis sanctis

which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

3 de Filio suo qui factus est ex semine David secundum carnem

concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

4 qui praedestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum Spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Iesu Christi Domini nostri

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Ruach of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Yeshua the Messiah our Lord,

5 per quem accepimus gratiam et apostolatum ad oboediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro nomine eius

through whom we received grace and the office of emissary, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi

among whom you are also called to belong to Yeshua the Messiah;

7 omnibus qui sunt Romae dilectis Dei vocatis sanctis gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo

to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be kadoshim: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

8 primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Iesum Christum pro omnibus vobis quia fides vestra adnuntiatur in universo mundo

First, I thank my God through Yeshua the Messiah for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

9 testis enim mihi est Deus cui servio in spiritu meo in evangelio Filii eius quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you

10 semper in orationibus meis obsecrans si quo modo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos

always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.

11 desidero enim videre vos ut aliquid inpertiar gratiae vobis spiritalis ad confirmandos vos

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;

12 id est simul consolari in vobis per eam quae invicem est fidem vestram atque meam

that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

13 nolo autem vos ignorare fratres quia saepe proposui venire ad vos et prohibitus sum usque adhuc ut aliquem fructum habeam et in vobis sicut et in ceteris gentibus

Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.

14 Graecis ac barbaris sapientibus et insipientibus debitor sum

I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15 ita quod in me promptum est et vobis qui Romae estis evangelizare

So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 non enim erubesco evangelium virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti Iudaeo primum et Graeco

For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

17 iustitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem sicut scriptum est iustus autem ex fide vivit

For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

18 revelatur enim ira Dei de caelo super omnem impietatem et iniustitiam hominum eorum qui veritatem in iniustitiam detinent

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,

19 quia quod notum est Dei manifestum est in illis Deus enim illis manifestavit

because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

20 invisibilia enim ipsius a creatura mundi per ea quae facta sunt intellecta conspiciuntur sempiterna quoque eius virtus et divinitas ut sint inexcusabiles (aïdios g126)

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 quia cum cognovissent Deum non sicut Deum glorificaverunt aut gratias egerunt sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum

Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 dicentes enim se esse sapientes stulti facti sunt

Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

23 et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis et volucrum et quadrupedum et serpentium

and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.

24 propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum in inmunditiam ut contumeliis adficiant corpora sua in semet ipsis

Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,

25 qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacio et coluerunt et servierunt creaturae potius quam creatori qui est benedictus in saecula amen (aiōn g165)

who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiae nam feminae eorum inmutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam

For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.

27 similiter autem et masculi relicto naturali usu feminae exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes et mercedem quam oportuit erroris sui in semet ipsis recipientes

Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

28 et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia tradidit eos Deus in reprobum sensum ut faciant quae non conveniunt

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;

29 repletos omni iniquitate malitia fornicatione avaritia nequitia plenos invidia homicidio contentione dolo malignitate susurrones

being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

30 detractores Deo odibiles contumeliosos superbos elatos inventores malorum parentibus non oboedientes

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 insipientes inconpositos sine affectione absque foedere sine misericordia

foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 qui cum iustitiam Dei cognovissent non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt digni sunt morte non solum ea faciunt sed et consentiunt facientibus

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
