< Rimljanom 1 >

1 Pavel, služabnik Jezusa Kristusa, poklican, da bi bil apostol, odbran za evangelij Boga,
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
2 (ki ga je vnaprej obljubil po svojih prerokih v svetih pismih),
which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
3 glede svojega Sina Jezusa Kristusa, našega Gospoda, ki je glede na meso zrasel iz Davidovega potomca;
concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 in z vstajenjem od mrtvih je, glede na duha svetosti, razglasil, da je Božji Sin z močjo;
who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 po katerem smo zaradi njegovega imena prejeli milost in apostolstvo, za poslušnost veri med vsemi narodi;
through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
6 med katere ste po Jezusu Kristusu poklicani tudi vi.
among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
7 Vsem, ki ste v Rimu, Božji ljubljenci, poklicani, da ste sveti: ›Milost vam in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.‹
to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Najprej se po Jezusu Kristusu zahvaljujem svojemu Bogu za vas vse, da se o vaši veri govori po vsem celotnem svetu.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
9 Kajti Bog je moja priča, ki mu služim s svojim duhom v evangeliju njegovega Sina, da vas brez prenehanja vedno omenjam v svojih molitvah,
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you
10 ker prosim, če bi na kakršenkoli način torej končno lahko imel uspešno potovanje, da po Božji volji pridem k vam.
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 Kajti hrepenim, da vas vidim, da bi vam lahko posredoval kak duhoven dar, z namenom, da boste lahko utrjeni;
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;
12 to je, da bom lahko skupaj z vami potolažen po vzajemni veri, tako vaši kakor moji.
that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
13 Torej, nočem, da bi bili nepoučeni, bratje, da sem se pogosto namenil priti k vam (toda doslej sem bil zadržan), da bi lahko imel, kakor med drugimi pogani, nekaj sadu tudi med vami.
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 Dolžnik sem, tako Grkom kakor barbarom, tako modrim, kakor ne modrim.
I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 Torej, kar se mene tiče, sem pripravljen evangelij oznaniti tudi vam, ki ste v Rimu.
So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
16 Kajti ne sramujem se Kristusovega evangelija, kajti ta je Božja moč za rešitev duš vsakemu, ki veruje; najprej Judu in tudi Grku.
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 Kajti v njem se razodeva Božja pravičnost, iz vere v vero, kakor je pisano: ›Pravični bo živel iz vere.‹
For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."
18 Kajti Božji bes je razodet iz nebes zoper vso brezbožnost in nepravičnost ljudi, ki resnico zadržujejo v nepravičnosti;
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
19 zato ker je to, kar je lahko spoznano od Boga, očitno v njih; kajti Bog jim je to pokazal.
because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 Kajti od stvarjenja sveta so nevidne stvari o njem jasno vidne, ker so razumljene po stvareh, ki so narejene; celó njegova večna moč in Božanstvo, tako da so brez opravičila. (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 Zato ker ko so spoznali Boga, ga niso slavili kakor Boga niti niso bili hvaležni, temveč so v svojih zamislih postali prazni in njihovo nespametno srce je otemnelo.
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 Ker so o sebi izpovedovali, da so modri, so postali bedaki
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 in slavo netrohljivega Boga spremenili v podobo, podobno trohljivemu človeku in pticam in štirinožnim živalim in plazečim stvarem.
and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
24 Zato jih je tudi Bog, zaradi poželenj njihovih lastnih src, prepustil nečistosti, da med seboj onečaščajo svoja lastna telesa.
Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,
25 Ki so Božjo resnico zamenjali v laž in so bolj oboževali in služili stvarstvu kakor Stvarniku, ki je blagoslovljen na veke. 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 Zaradi tega razloga jih je Bog prepustil ogabnim strastem; kajti celó njihove ženske so spremenile naravno uporabo v to, kar je protinaravno.
For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.
27 In prav tako so tudi moški, ki so opustili naravno uporabo ženske, v svojem poželenju goreli eden k drugemu; moški so z moškimi počenjali to, kar je nespodobno in na sebi prejemali to povračilo svoje zablode, ki je bilo primerno.
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 In celó kot v svojem spoznanju niso želeli obdržati Boga, jih je Bog izročil pokvarjenemu umu, da počenjajo te stvari, ki niso primerne.
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 Izpolnjeni so z vso nepravičnostjo, prešuštvom, zlobnostjo, pohlepnostjo, zlonamernostjo; polni zavisti, umora, razpravljanja, prevar, pogubnosti; opravljivci,
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 obrekovalci, sovražniki Boga, kruti, ponosni, bahači, izmišljevalci hudobnih stvari, neposlušni staršem,
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 brez razumevanja, lomilci zavez, brez naravne naklonjenosti, nespravljivi, neusmiljeni.
foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 Ki poznajo Božje sodbe, da so tisti, ki zagrešijo takšne stvari, vredni smrti, ne samo, da to počenjajo, temveč imajo zadovoljstvo v tistih, ki jih počno.
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.
