Romanos 1
1 Pablo, un esclavo de Cristo Jesús, llamado apóstol apartado para [las] Buenas Noticias de Dios,
To all in Rome who are dear to God and have been called to become Christ’s People, from Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, who has been called to become an Apostle, and has been set apart to tell God’s Good News.
2 que Él prometió por medio de sus profetas en [las] Sagradas Escrituras
This Good News God promised long ago through his Prophets in the sacred Scriptures,
3 con respecto a su Hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo, del linaje de David según [la] naturaleza humana.
concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord; who, as to his human nature, was descended from David,
4 Él fue declarado Hijo de Dios con poder según [el] Espíritu de santidad, y resucitó de entre [los] muertos.
but, as to the spirit of holiness within him, was miraculously designated Son of God by his resurrection from the dead.
5 Por medio de Él recibimos gracia y apostolado para que todos los gentiles obedezcan a [la ]fe en su Nombre,
Through him we received the gift of the Apostolic office, to win submission to the Faith among all nations for the glory of his Name.
6 entre los cuales ustedes son llamados por Jesucristo.
And among these nations are you — you who have been 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.
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
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.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ about you all, because the report of your faith is spreading throughout 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.
God, to whom I offer the worship of my soul as I tell the Goodness of his Son, is my witness how constantly I mention you when I pray,
10 Pido a Dios siempre en mis conversaciones con Él que de algún modo prospere según la voluntad de Dios para visitarlos.
asking that, if he be willing, I may some day at last find the way open to visit you.
11 Porque anhelo verlos para impartirles algún don espiritual, a fin de que sean fortalecidos.
For I long to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift and so give you fresh strength —
12 Es decir, para que nos animemos unos a otros por la lealtad que compartimos.
or rather that both you and I may find encouragement in each other’s faith.
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, Brothers, that I have many times intended coming to see you — but until now I have been prevented — that I might find among you some fruit of my labours, as I have already among the other nations.
14 Soy deudor a griegos y a extraños, a sabios y a ignorantes.
I have a duty to both the Greek and the Barbarian, to both the cultured and the ignorant.
15 Así que estoy dispuesto a proclamar las Buenas Noticias también a ustedes en Roma.
And so, for my part, I am ready to tell the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
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.
For I am not ashamed of the Good News; it is the power of God which brings Salvation to every one who believes in Christ, to the Jew first, but also to the Greek.
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 it there is a revelation of the Divine Righteousness resulting from faith and leading on to faith; as Scripture says — ‘Through faith the righteous man shall find Life.’
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.
So, too, there is a revelation from Heaven of the Divine Wrath against every form of ungodliness and wickedness on the part of those men who, by their wicked lives, are stifling the Truth.
19 Porque lo que se conoce de Dios es evidente para ellos, puesto que Dios se [lo] manifestó.
This is so, because what can be known about God is plain to them; for God himself has made it plain.
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)
For ever since the creation of the universe God’s invisible attributes — his everlasting power and divinity — are to be seen and studied in his works, so that men 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, although they learned to know God, yet they did not offer him as God either praise or thanksgiving. Their speculations about him proved futile, and their undiscerning minds were darkened.
22 Al afirmar ser sabios se volvieron necios,
Professing to be wise, they showed themselves fools;
23 y cambiaron la gloria del Dios incorruptible por imagen de hombre mortal, de aves, de cuadrúpedos y de reptiles.
and they transformed the Glory of the immortal God into the likeness of mortal man, and of birds, and beasts, 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.
Therefore God abandoned them to impurity, letting them follow the cravings of their hearts, till they dishonoured their own bodies;
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)
for they had substituted a lie for the truth about God, and had reverenced and worshiped created things more than the Creator, who is to be praised for ever. 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, I say, is why God abandoned them to degrading passions. Even the women among them perverted the natural use of their bodies to the 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.
while the men, disregarding that for which women were intended by nature, were consumed with passion for one another. Men indulged in vile practices with men, and incurred in their own persons the inevitable penalty for their perverseness.
28 Como no quisieron tener en cuenta a Dios, Él los entregó a una mente reprobada para hacer las cosas indecentes.
Then, as they would not keep God before their minds, God abandoned them to depraved thoughts, so that they did all kinds of shameful things.
29 Se llenaron con exceso de toda injusticia, perversidad, avaricia, maldad, envidia, homicidio, contienda, engaño y malignidad. Son chismosos,
They revelled in every form of wickedness, evil, greed, vice. Their lives were full of envy, murder, quarrelling, treachery, malice.
30 murmuradores, detractores, aborrecedores de Dios, insolentes, arrogantes, jactanciosos, inventores de cosas malas, desobedientes a los progenitores,
They became back-biters, slanderers, impious, insolent, boastful. They devised new sins. They disobeyed their parents.
31 necios, desleales, sin afecto natural, despiadados.
They were undiscerning, untrustworthy, without natural affection or pity.
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.
Well aware of God’s decree, that those who do such things deserve to die, not only are they guilty of them themselves, but they even applaud those who do them.
