Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
See kiri on Pauluselt, Jeesuse Kristuse sulaselt. Mind kutsus apostliks Jumal. Jumal määras mind kuulutama head sõnumit,
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
mida ta eelnevalt on? Pühakirjas oma prohvetite kaudu tõotanud.
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
Hea sõnum on tema Pojast, kelle inimesest esiisa oli Taavet,
4 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,
kuid kes sai avalikuks kui Jumala Poeg, kui ta Püha Vaimu väel surnuist üles tõusis. Tema on Jeesus Kristus, meie Issand.
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
Tema kaudu sain eesõiguse olla apostel, et kutsuda kõiki rahvaid kuulekalt temasse uskuma.
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
Ka teie olete nende hulgas, keda kutsuti Jeesusele Kristusele kuuluma.
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ma kirjutan teile kõigile, kes olete Roomas, keda Jumal armastab ja keda ta on oma eriliseks rahvaks kutsunud. Armu ja rahu teile Jumalalt, meie Isalt, ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Lubage, et ma kõigepealt tänan oma Jumalat Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu teie kõigi eest, sest sellest, kuidas te Jumalasse usute, räägitakse kogu maailmas.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
Ma palvetan alati teie eest, nagu võib kinnitada Jumal − see Jumal, keda ma teenin kogu oma olemusega, kui jagan head sõnumit tema Pojast.
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
Oma palvetes palun ma alati, et võiksin lõpuks tulla ja teiega kohtuda, kui Jumal seda tahab.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
Ma tõesti tahan teid külastada ja jagada teiega vaimulikku õnnistust teie kinnitamiseks.
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
Nii saame koos julgustust üksteise usust Jumalasse, nii teie usust kui ka minu omast.
13 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 rest of the Gentiles.
Mu vennad ja õed, ma tahan, et te teaksite, et olen sageli teinud plaane teie külastamiseks, kuid mind ei ole seni lastud tulla. Ma tahan näha teie keskel häid vaimulikke tulemusi, nagu ma olen näinud teiste inimeste hulgas.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Sest mul on kohustus töötada nii tsiviliseeritute kui ka tsiviliseerimatute, nii haritute kui ka harimatute heaks.
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Sellepärast soovin ma tõesti innukalt tulla Roomasse ja jagada teiega head sõnumit.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
Kindlasti ei häbene ma head sõnumit, sest see on Jumala vägi päästa igaüht, kes temasse usub − kõigepealt juute ja siis ka kõiki teisi.
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
Sest hea sõnum näitab Jumalat kui head ja õiget, usaldusväärset algusest lõpuni. Nagu Pühakiri ütleb: „Kes on õiged Jumala ees, elavad teda uskudes.“
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Jumala vastumeelsust ilmutatakse taevast nende vastu, kes on jumalatud ja kes ei ole moraalselt õiged, nende vastu, kes summutavad tõde halvaga, mida nad teevad.
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
See, mida on võimalik Jumala kohta teada, on ilmne, sest ta on selle neile väga selgeks teinud.
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting (aïdios g126) power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
Juba alates maailma loomisest on Jumala nähtamatu olemus − tema igavene vägi ja jumalikkus − selgelt nähtav selles, mida ta on teinud. Sellistel inimestel ei ole vabandust, (aïdios g126)
21 Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, and did not give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
sest kuigi nad tundsid Jumalat, ei kiitnud ega ülistanud nad teda, vaid selle asemel muutus nende arvamus Jumalast täielikuks rumaluseks ning nende tühja mõistust täitis pimedus.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Kuigi nad väitsid, et on targad, said nad rumalaks.
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
Nad vahetasid surematu Jumala hiilguse surelike inimeste, lindude, loomade ja roomajate kujutiste vastu.
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
Niisiis jättis Jumal nad nende rikutud mõistuse kurjade soovide küüsi ja nad tegid üksteisele häbiväärseid, alandavaid asju.
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
Nad vahetasid Jumala tõe vale vastu ning kummardasid ja teenisid loodolevusi, mitte Loojat, kes on väärt kiitust igavesti. Aamen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
Sellepärast jättis Jumal nad nende kurjade soovide küüsi. Nende naised vahetasid loomupärase seksuaalsuse ebaloomuliku vastu,
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
ning samamoodi loobusid mehed seksist naistega ja põlesid himust üksteise vastu. Mehed tegid üksteisega sündsusetuid asju ning selle tulemusena tabasid neid nende loomuvastasuse paratamatud tagajärjed.
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Kuna nad ei pidanud väärtuslikuks Jumala tundmaõppimist, jättis ta neid nende väärtusetu, usaldamatu mõtteviisi küüsi, tegema seda, mida ei tohiks kunagi teha.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
Nad täitsid end kõigega, mis on vale: kurjuse, ahnuse, vihkamise, kadeduse, mõrvamise, tülitsemise, petmise, kuritahtlikkuse ja tagarääkimisega.
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Nad on tagaselja halvustavad ja Jumala vihkajad. Nad on ülbed, uhked ja hooplevad. Nad leiutavad uusi viise patustamiseks. Nad hakkavad oma vanematele vastu.
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Nad ei taha aru saada, nad ei pea lubadusi, nad ei ilmuta mingit lahkust ega kaastunnet.
32 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.
Kuigi nad mõistavad täpselt, mida Jumal nõuab, teevad nad seda, mis on surma väärt. Nad ei tee seda mitte ainult ise, vaid nad toetavad selles ka teisi.
