Romanos 1
1 Pablo, un esclavo de Cristo Jesús, llamado apóstol apartado para [las] Buenas Noticias de Dios,
This letter comes from Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ. I was called to be an apostle by God. God appointed me to announce the good news
2 que Él prometió por medio de sus profetas en [las] Sagradas Escrituras
that he had previously promised through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures.
3 con respecto a su Hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo, del linaje de David según [la] naturaleza humana.
The good news is about his Son, whose human forefather was David,
4 Él fue declarado Hijo de Dios con poder según [el] Espíritu de santidad, y resucitó de entre [los] muertos.
but who was revealed as God's Son by his resurrection from the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
5 Por medio de Él recibimos gracia y apostolado para que todos los gentiles obedezcan a [la ]fe en su Nombre,
It was through him that I received the privilege of becoming an apostle to call all nations to obedient trust in him.
6 entre los cuales ustedes son llamados por Jesucristo.
You are also included among those who were called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 [Me dirijo] a todos los amados de Dios que están en Roma, llamados santos: Gracia a ustedes y paz de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
I'm writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by God, and called to be his special people. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
8 Primero, doy gracias a mi Dios por medio de Jesucristo por todos ustedes, por cuanto en todo el mundo se habla bien de su fe.
Let me begin by saying that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the way in which you trust in God is spoken about all over the world.
9 Porque Dios, a Quien sirvo en mi espíritu en las Buenas Noticias de su Hijo, es testigo de cómo me acuerdo sin cesar de ustedes.
I'm always praying for you, as God can confirm—the God I serve with the whole of my being as I share the good news about his Son.
10 Pido a Dios siempre en mis conversaciones con Él que de algún modo prospere según la voluntad de Dios para visitarlos.
In my prayers I'm always asking that I might eventually come and see you, if that's what God wants.
11 Porque anhelo verlos para impartirles algún don espiritual, a fin de que sean fortalecidos.
I really want to visit you and share with you a spiritual blessing to strengthen you.
12 Es decir, para que nos animemos unos a otros por la lealtad que compartimos.
In this way we can be encouraged together by each others' trust in God, both your trust and mine.
13 Quiero que sepan, hermanos, que muchas veces me propuse visitarlos para obtener algún fruto entre ustedes y entre los demás gentiles, pero hasta ahora no he podido hacerlo.
I want you to know, my brothers and sisters, I often planned to visit you, but I was kept from coming up till now. I want to see some good spiritual results among you just as I've seen among other people.
14 Soy deudor a griegos y a extraños, a sabios y a ignorantes.
For I have an obligation to work for both the civilized and the uncivilized, both the educated and the uneducated.
15 Así que estoy dispuesto a proclamar las Buenas Noticias también a ustedes en Roma.
That's why I'm really keen to come to Rome and share the good news with you.
16 Porque no me avergüenzo de las Buenas Noticias, puesto que son poder de Dios para salvación a todo el que cree, primero al judío y luego al griego.
I'm certainly not ashamed about the good news, for it's God's power to save everyone who trusts in him—to the Jewish people first, and then to everyone else as well.
17 Pues en él se revela [la ]justicia de Dios por fe y para fe, como está escrito: El justo vivirá por [la ]fe.
For in the good news God is revealed as good and right, trustworthy from start to finish. As Scripture says, “Those who are right with God live by trusting him.”
18 [La] ira de Dios se revela desde [el] cielo contra toda impiedad e injusticia de [los] seres humanos que suprimen la verdad con injusticia.
God's hostility is revealed from heaven against those who are godless and who are not morally right, those who suppress the truth through the evil that they do.
19 Porque lo que se conoce de Dios es evidente para ellos, puesto que Dios se [lo] manifestó.
What can be known about God is obvious, because he has made it very clear to them.
20 Porque desde la creación del mundo las cosas invisibles de Él, su eterno poder y deidad, se ven con claridad y se entienden por medio de las cosas hechas, de modo que no tienen excusa. (aïdios g126)
Ever since the creation of the world, the invisible aspects of God—his eternal power and divinity—are clearly visible in what he has made. Such people have no excuse, (aïdios g126)
21 Aunque conocieron a Dios, no [lo] enaltecieron como Dios, ni le dieron gracias. Al contrario, se entregaron a vanos razonamientos y su necio corazón se oscureció.
because even though they knew God, they did not praise him or thank him, but instead their thinking about God turned into complete foolishness, and darkness filled their empty minds.
22 Al afirmar ser sabios se volvieron necios,
Even though they claimed to be wise, they became foolish.
23 y cambiaron la gloria del Dios incorruptible por imagen de hombre mortal, de aves, de cuadrúpedos y de reptiles.
They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for idols, images of mortal human beings, birds, animals, and reptiles.
24 Por tanto Dios los entregó a [la] impureza en los apetitos desordenados de los deleites carnales de sus corazones, de modo que deshonraron sus propios cuerpos entre ellos.
So God abandoned them to the evil desires of their depraved minds, and they did shameful, degrading things to each other.
25 Éstos cambiaron la verdad de Dios por la mentira, reverenciaron y sirvieron a la criatura y no al Creador, Quien es bendito por los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
They exchanged God's truth for a lie, worshiping and serving creatures instead of the Creator, who deserves praise forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Por esto Dios los entregó a pasiones vergonzosas, pues sus mujeres cambiaron su función natural por la que es contra naturaleza.
That's why God abandoned them to their evil desires. Their women exchanged natural sex for that which is unnatural,
27 Del mismo modo también los varones, al dejar la relación natural con la mujer, se encendieron en deleites carnales unos con otros y cometieron hechos vergonzosos varones con varones. Recibieron en ellos mismos la debida retribución de su extravío.
and in the same way the men gave up sex with women and burned with lust for each other. Men did indecent things to each other, and as a result they suffered the inevitable consequences of their perversions.
28 Como no quisieron tener en cuenta a Dios, Él los entregó a una mente reprobada para hacer las cosas indecentes.
Since they didn't consider it worthwhile to get to know God, he abandoned them to their worthless, distrustful way of thinking, doing things that should never be done.
29 Se llenaron con exceso de toda injusticia, perversidad, avaricia, maldad, envidia, homicidio, contienda, engaño y malignidad. Son chismosos,
They filled themselves with all that's wrong: evil, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malice, and gossip.
30 murmuradores, detractores, aborrecedores de Dios, insolentes, arrogantes, jactanciosos, inventores de cosas malas, desobedientes a los progenitores,
They're back-stabbers and God-haters. They're arrogant, proud, and boastful. They devise new ways of sinning. They rebel against their parents.
31 necios, desleales, sin afecto natural, despiadados.
They don't want to understand, they don't keep their promises, they don't show any kindness or compassion.
32 Ellos, aunque entendieron exactamente el Mandamiento de Dios, según el cual los que practican tales cosas son dignos de muerte, no solo las hacen, sino también se complacen con los que [las] practican.
Even though they realize exactly what God requires, they do things that deserve death. Not only do they do such things themselves, they also support others in doing them.
