Romanos 5
1 Ahora que hemos sido justificados por Dios, por nuestra confianza en él, tenemos paz con él a través de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
2 Porque es por medio de Jesús, y por nuestra fe en él, que hemos recibido acceso a esta posición de gracia en la que estamos, esperando con alegría y confianza que podamos participar de la gloria de Dios.
Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
3 No solo esto, sino que mantenemos la confianza cuando vienen los problemas, porque sabemos que experimentar dificultades desarrolla nuestra fortaleza espiritual.
We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
4 La fortaleza espiritual, a su vez, desarrolla un carácter maduro, y este carácter maduro trae como resultado una esperanza que cree.
And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
5 Ya que tenemos esta esperanza, nunca seremos defraudados, porque el amor de Dios ha sido derramado en nuestros corazones a través del Espíritu Santo que él nos ha dado.
And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
6 Cuando estábamos completamente indefensos, en ese momento justo, Cristo murió por nosotros los impíos.
When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
7 ¿Quién moriría por otra persona, incluso si se tratara de alguien que hace lo recto? (Aunque quizás alguno sería suficientemente valiente para morir por alguien que es realmente bueno).
Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
8 Pero Dios demuestra su amor en que Cristo murió por nosotros aunque todavía éramos pecadores.
Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
9 Ahora que somos justificados por su muerte, podemos estar totalmente seguros de que él nos salvará del juicio que viene.
The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
10 Aunque éramos sus enemigos, Dios nos convirtió en sus amigos por medio de la muerte de su Hijo, y así podemos estar totalmente seguros de que él nos salvará por la vida de su Hijo.
Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
11 Además de esto celebramos ahora lo que Dios ha hecho por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo para reconciliarnos y convertirnos en sus amigos.
And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
12 Porque a través de un hombre el pecado entró al mundo, y el pecado condujo a la muerte. Y de esta manera la muerte llegó a todos, porque todos eran pecadores.
[What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
13 Incluso antes de que se diera la ley, el pecado ya estaba en el mundo, pero no era considerado pecado porque no había ley.
[People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
14 Pero la muerte gobernaba desde Adán hasta Moisés, incluso sobre aquellos que no pecaron de la misma manera que lo hizo Adán. Pues Adán prefiguraba a Aquél que vendría.
But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
15 Pero el don de Jesús no es como el pecado de Adán. Aunque mucha gente murió por culpa del pecado de un hombre, la gracia de Dios es mucho más grande y ha sido dada a muchos a través de su don gratuito en la persona de Jesucristo.
But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
16 El resultado de este don no es como el resultado del pecado. El resultado del pecado de Adán fue juicio y condenación, pero este don nos justifica con Dios, a pesar de nuestros muchos pecados.
And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
17 Como resultado del pecado de un hombre, la muerte gobernó por su culpa. Pero la gracia de Dios es mucho más grande y su don nos justifica, porque todo el que lo recibe gobernará en vida a través de la persona de Jesucristo.
All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
18 Del mismo modo que un pecado trajo condenación a todos, un acto de justicia nos dio a todos la oportunidad de vivir en justicia.
So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
19 Así como por la desobediencia de un hombre muchos se convirtieron en pecadores, de la misma manera, a través de la obediencia de un hombre, muchos son justificados delante de Dios.
It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
20 Pues cuando se introdujo la ley, el pecado se hizo más evidente. ¡Pero aunque el pecado se volvió más evidente, la gracia se volvió más evidente aun!
[God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
21 Así como el pecado gobernó sobre nosotros y nos llevó a la muerte, ahora la gracia es la que gobierna al justificarnos delante de Dios, trayéndonos vida eterna por medio de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor. (aiōnios g166)
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
