Romans 1
1 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.
Pavel, služabnik Jezusa Kristusa, poklican, da bi bil apostol, odbran za evangelij Boga,
2 This good news God promised long ago through his prophets in the sacred scriptures,
(ki ga je vnaprej obljubil po svojih prerokih v svetih pismih),
3 concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord; who, as to his human nature, was descended from David,
glede svojega Sina Jezusa Kristusa, našega Gospoda, ki je glede na meso zrasel iz Davidovega potomca;
4 but, as to the spirit of holiness within him, was miraculously designated Son of God by his resurrection from the dead.
in z vstajenjem od mrtvih je, glede na duha svetosti, razglasil, da je Božji Sin z močjo;
5 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.
po katerem smo zaradi njegovega imena prejeli milost in apostolstvo, za poslušnost veri med vsemi narodi;
6 And among these nations are you – you who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.
med katere ste po Jezusu Kristusu poklicani tudi vi.
7 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.
Vsem, ki ste v Rimu, Božji ljubljenci, poklicani, da ste sveti: ›Milost vam in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.‹
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because the report of your faith is spreading throughout the world.
Najprej se po Jezusu Kristusu zahvaljujem svojemu Bogu za vas vse, da se o vaši veri govori po vsem celotnem svetu.
9 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,
Kajti Bog je moja priča, ki mu služim s svojim duhom v evangeliju njegovega Sina, da vas brez prenehanja vedno omenjam v svojih molitvah,
10 asking that, if he be willing, I may some day at last find the way open to visit you.
ker prosim, če bi na kakršenkoli način torej končno lahko imel uspešno potovanje, da po Božji volji pridem k vam.
11 For I long to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift and so give you fresh strength –
Kajti hrepenim, da vas vidim, da bi vam lahko posredoval kak duhoven dar, z namenom, da boste lahko utrjeni;
12 or rather that both you and I may find encouragement in each other’s faith.
to je, da bom lahko skupaj z vami potolažen po vzajemni veri, tako vaši kakor moji.
13 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 labors, as I have already among the other nations.
Torej, nočem, da bi bili nepoučeni, bratje, da sem se pogosto namenil priti k vam (toda doslej sem bil zadržan), da bi lahko imel, kakor med drugimi pogani, nekaj sadu tudi med vami.
14 I have a duty to both the Greek and the barbarian, to both the cultured and the ignorant.
Dolžnik sem, tako Grkom kakor barbarom, tako modrim, kakor ne modrim.
15 And so, for my part, I am ready to tell the good news to you also who are in Rome.
Torej, kar se mene tiče, sem pripravljen evangelij oznaniti tudi vam, ki ste v Rimu.
16 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.
Kajti ne sramujem se Kristusovega evangelija, kajti ta je Božja moč za rešitev duš vsakemu, ki veruje; najprej Judu in tudi Grku.
17 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.’
Kajti v njem se razodeva Božja pravičnost, iz vere v vero, kakor je pisano: ›Pravični bo živel iz vere.‹
18 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.
Kajti Božji bes je razodet iz nebes zoper vso brezbožnost in nepravičnost ljudi, ki resnico zadržujejo v nepravičnosti;
19 This is so, because what can be known about God is plain to them; for God himself has made it plain.
zato ker je to, kar je lahko spoznano od Boga, očitno v njih; kajti Bog jim je to pokazal.
20 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)
Kajti od stvarjenja sveta so nevidne stvari o njem jasno vidne, ker so razumljene po stvareh, ki so narejene; celó njegova večna moč in Božanstvo, tako da so brez opravičila. (aïdios g126)
21 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.
Zato ker ko so spoznali Boga, ga niso slavili kakor Boga niti niso bili hvaležni, temveč so v svojih zamislih postali prazni in njihovo nespametno srce je otemnelo.
22 Professing to be wise, they showed themselves fools;
Ker so o sebi izpovedovali, da so modri, so postali bedaki
23 and they transformed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of mortal humans, and of birds, and beasts, and reptiles.
in slavo netrohljivega Boga spremenili v podobo, podobno trohljivemu človeku in pticam in štirinožnim živalim in plazečim stvarem.
24 Therefore God abandoned them to impurity, letting them follow the cravings of their hearts, until they dishonored their own bodies;
Zato jih je tudi Bog, zaradi poželenj njihovih lastnih src, prepustil nečistosti, da med seboj onečaščajo svoja lastna telesa.
25 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)
Ki so Božjo resnico zamenjali v laž in so bolj oboževali in služili stvarstvu kakor Stvarniku, ki je blagoslovljen na veke. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 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;
Zaradi tega razloga jih je Bog prepustil ogabnim strastem; kajti celó njihove ženske so spremenile naravno uporabo v to, kar je protinaravno.
27 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.
In prav tako so tudi moški, ki so opustili naravno uporabo ženske, v svojem poželenju goreli eden k drugemu; moški so z moškimi počenjali to, kar je nespodobno in na sebi prejemali to povračilo svoje zablode, ki je bilo primerno.
28 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.
In celó kot v svojem spoznanju niso želeli obdržati Boga, jih je Bog izročil pokvarjenemu umu, da počenjajo te stvari, ki niso primerne.
29 They reveled in every form of wickedness, evil, greed, vice. Their lives were full of envy, murder, quarreling, treachery, malice.
Izpolnjeni so z vso nepravičnostjo, prešuštvom, zlobnostjo, pohlepnostjo, zlonamernostjo; polni zavisti, umora, razpravljanja, prevar, pogubnosti; opravljivci,
30 They became back-biters, slanderers, impious, insolent, boastful. They devised new sins. They disobeyed their parents.
obrekovalci, sovražniki Boga, kruti, ponosni, bahači, izmišljevalci hudobnih stvari, neposlušni staršem,
31 They were undiscerning, untrustworthy, without natural affection or pity.
brez razumevanja, lomilci zavez, brez naravne naklonjenosti, nespravljivi, neusmiljeni.
32 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.
Ki poznajo Božje sodbe, da so tisti, ki zagrešijo takšne stvari, vredni smrti, ne samo, da to počenjajo, temveč imajo zadovoljstvo v tistih, ki jih počno.
