Pāvilavēstulē Romiešiem 1
1 Pāvils, Jēzus Kristus kalps, aicināts par apustuli, izvēlēts, sludināt Dieva evaņģēliju,
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 Ko Viņš papriekš caur Saviem praviešiem svētos rakstos apsolījis,
This good news God promised long ago through his prophets in the sacred scriptures,
3 Par Savu Dēlu, (kas pēc miesas ir cēlies no Dāvida sēklas.
concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord; who, as to his human nature, was descended from David,
4 Un pēc tā svētīšanas Gara caur augšāmcelšanos no miroņiem spēkā ir parādīts Dieva dēls), par Jēzu Kristu, mūsu Kungu,
but, as to the spirit of holiness within him, was miraculously designated Son of God by his resurrection from the dead.
5 Caur ko mēs esam dabūjuši žēlastību un apustuļa amatu, lai ticībai paklausa Viņa Vārda labad visi pagāni,
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 Kuru starpā arī jūs esat Jēzus Kristus aicinātie, -
And among these nations are you – you who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 Visiem Dieva mīļiem, tiem aicinātiem svētiem Romā: žēlastība jums un miers no Dieva, mūsu Tēva, un no Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus.
To all in Rome who are dear to God and have been called to become Christ’s people, may God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
8 Papriekš es savam Dievam pateicos caur Jēzu Kristu par jums visiem, ka jūsu ticība top teikta visā pasaulē.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because the report of your faith is spreading throughout the world.
9 Jo Dievs, kam es savā garā kalpoju, Viņa Dēla evaņģēliju sludinādams, ir mans liecinieks, ka es bez mitēšanās jūs pieminu,
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 Allažiņ savās lūgšanās lūgdams, lai jel kādu reiz ceļš man izdotos pēc Dieva prāta pie jums nākt.
asking that, if he be willing, I may some day at last find the way open to visit you.
11 Jo es ilgojos jūs redzēt, lai jums iedotu kādu garīgu dāvanu, ka jūs topat stiprināti:
For I long to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift and so give you fresh strength –
12 Tas ir, ka es līdz ar jums taptu iepriecināts caur mūsu abēju, tā jūsu kā manu ticību.
or rather that both you and I may find encouragement in each other’s faith.
13 Bet es jums, brāļi, negribu slēpt, ka daudzreiz esmu apņēmies pie jums nākt (un līdz šim esmu aizkavēts), lai es arī pie jums kādu augli dabūtu, kā pie tiem citiem pagāniem.
I want you to know, my friends, 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 Jo es esmu parādnieks Grieķiem un barbariem, gudriem un negudriem.
I have a duty to both the Greek and the barbarian, to both the cultured and the ignorant.
15 Tādēļ no savas puses esmu gatavs, arī jums, kas esat Romā, evaņģēliju sludināt.
And so, for my part, I am ready to tell the good news to you also who are in Rome.
16 Jo es nekaunos Kristus evaņģēlija dēļ; jo tas ir Dieva spēks par pestīšanu ikvienam, kas tic, papriekš Jūdam un arī Grieķim.
For I am not ashamed of the good news; it is the power of God which brings salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first, but also to the Greek.
17 Jo Dieva taisnība iekš tā parādās no ticības uz ticību. Itin kā ir rakstīts: taisnais dzīvos no ticības.
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 will find life.”
18 Jo Dieva dusmība no debesīm parādās pār ikvienu bezdievību un netaisnību pie cilvēkiem, kas patiesību netaisnībā aiztur.
So, too, there is a revelation from heaven of the divine wrath against every form of ungodliness and wickedness on the part of those people who, by their wicked lives, are stifling the truth.
19 Jo Tā Dieva atzīšana tiem ir zināma, jo Dievs tiem to ir zināmu darījis.
This is so, because what can be known about God is plain to them; for God himself has made it plain.
20 Jo Viņa neredzamā būšana no pasaules radīšanas pie tiem darbiem top nomanīta un ieraudzīta, gan Viņa mūžīgais spēks, gan Viņa dievība, tā ka tie nevar aizbildināties. (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 people have no excuse; (aïdios g126)
21 Tāpēc ka tie Dievu atzīdami, to kā Dievu nav godājuši nedz Viņam pateikušies, bet savās domās nelieši tapuši un viņu neprātīgā sirds ir aptumšota.
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 Teikdamies gudri esoši, tie palikuši par ģeķiem,
Professing to be wise, they showed themselves fools;
23 Un ir apmainījuši tā neiznīcīgā Dieva godību par ģīmi, kas līdzīgs nīcīgam cilvēkam un putniem un četrkājīgiem lopiem un tārpiem.
and they transformed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of mortal humans, and of birds, and beasts, and reptiles.
24 Tāpēc Dievs tos arī nodevis viņu siržu kārībās uz nešķīstību, savas miesas sagānīt savā starpā.
Therefore God abandoned them to impurity, letting them follow the cravings of their hearts, until they dishonoured their own bodies;
25 Dieva patiesību tie ir pārvērtuši melos un radītas lietas lielākā godā turējuši un tām vairāk kalpojuši nekā tam Radītājam, kas ir augsti teicams mūžīgi! Āmen. (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 Tāpēc Dievs tos ir nodevis negodīgās kārībās; jo viņu sievieši to sadzīvi, kas pēc dabas, ir pārvērtuši par tādu, kas ir pret dabu.
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 Tāpat arīdzan tie vīrieši ir atstājuši to sadzīvi ar sievieti, kas pēc dabas, un savā kārībā cits uz citu iekarsušies, un vīrieši ar vīriešiem bezkaunību dzinuši un savas nomaldīšanās pienākamo algu pie sev pašiem dabūjuši.
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 Un kā tie nav cienījuši Dievu turēt atzīšanā, tā Dievs tos ir nodevis pārvērstam prātam, to darīt, kas neklājās,
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 Piepildītus ar visādu netaisnību, maucību, blēdību, mantas kārību, niknumu, pilnus skaudības, slepkavības, ķildu, viltības, netiklības,
They revelled in every form of wickedness, evil, greed, vice. Their lives were full of envy, murder, quarrelling, treachery, malice.
30 Mēlnešus, apmelotājus, Dievam negantus, varas darītājus, lepnus, lielīgus, ļaunuma izgudrotājus, vecākiem nepaklausīgus,
They became back-biters, slanderers, impious, insolent, boastful. They devised new sins. They disobeyed their parents.
31 Neprātīgus, derības pārkāpējus, cietsirdīgus, nesaderīgus, nežēlīgus;
They were undiscerning, untrustworthy, without natural affection or pity.
32 Kas zinādami to Dieva likumu, ka tie, kas tādas lietas dara, nāvi pelna, nevien tādas lietas dara, bet arī labu prātu tur pie tiem, kas tā dara.
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.
