Romans 1
1 [I], Paul, who serve Christ Jesus, [am writing this letter]. God chose me to be an apostle, and I was appointed by him {he appointed me} in order that [I should proclaim] (the good message/the gospel) that [comes from him].
Paulo, um servo de Jesus Cristo, chamado a ser apóstolo, separado para a Boa Nova de Deus,
2 Long before [Jesus came to earth, God] promised [that he would reveal] this good message by means of what his prophets [wrote] in the sacred Scriptures.
que ele prometeu antes através de seus profetas nas Sagradas Escrituras,
3 This good message is [about the one whom we know as] his Son. As to his Son’s physical/human nature, he was born a descendant of [King] David.
a respeito de seu Filho, que nasceu da descendência de Davi segundo a carne,
4 As to his divine nature, it was shown {[God] showed} powerfully that he is (God’s own Son/the man who is also God). [God] showed this by his Holy Spirit causing him to become alive again after he died. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
que foi declarado Filho de Deus com poder segundo o Espírito de santidade, pela ressurreição dos mortos, Jesus Cristo nosso Senhor,
5 He is the one who appointed me, who did not deserve it, [to be] an apostle. He did that in order that [many] among the non-Jews would honor [him] and would obey him as a result of their believing [my message about him].
através do qual recebemos a graça e o apostolado pela obediência da fé entre todas as nações por causa de seu nome;
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
entre os quais também sois chamados a pertencer a Jesus Cristo;
7 [I am writing this letter] to all of [you in Rome] whom God loves and whom he has chosen [to become his] people. [I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will [continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
a todos os que estão em Roma, amados de Deus, chamados a serem santos: Graça a vós e paz da parte de Deus nosso Pai e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.
8 As I begin [this letter], I thank my God for all you [believers in Rome]. It is because of [what] Jesus Christ [has done for us that] I [am able to do that]. I thank him because your trusting [in Jesus Christ] is something that people all over [the Roman Empire] [HYP] are talking about.
Primeiramente, agradeço a meu Deus através de Jesus Cristo por todos vocês, que sua fé é proclamada em todo o mundo.
9 God, whom I devotedly serve as I [proclaim to people] the gospel concerning his Son, knows that I tell the truth when I say that I always mention you whenever [DOU] I pray [to God] [HYP].
Pois Deus é minha testemunha, a quem sirvo em meu espírito na Boa Nova de seu Filho, como incessantemente faço menção de vocês sempre em minhas orações,
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
requesting, se de alguma forma agora, finalmente, eu puder ser prosperado pela vontade de Deus de vir até vocês.
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
Pois desejo ver-vos, para poder transmitir-vos algum dom espiritual, a fim de que sejais estabelecidos;
12 I long to visit you in order that you and I might encourage each other [by means of our sharing with each other] how each of us trusts [in Jesus].
isto é, que eu convosco possa ser encorajado em vós, cada um de nós pela fé do outro, tanto a vossa como a minha.
13 My fellow believers, many times I planned to visit you. I certainly want you to know [LIT] that. [But I have not been able to come to you because] I have been hindered {[things] have always prevented me} until the present time. I have wanted to come in order that I might help you to mature spiritually [IDM], as [I have helped people to mature spiritually] in many other non-Jewish groups [HYP].
Agora não quero que vocês desconheçam, irmãos, que muitas vezes planejei vir até vocês (e fui impedido até agora), para que eu possa ter alguma fruta entre vocês também, mesmo como entre os demais gentios.
14 I feel obliged [to proclaim the gospel to all non-Jewish people], specifically to [people who know] the Greek [language and culture] and to those who do not know it, to people who are educated and to those who are uneducated.
Sou devedor tanto aos gregos quanto aos estrangeiros, tanto aos sábios como aos tolos.
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
Portanto, por mais que esteja em mim, estou ansioso para pregar a Boa Nova a vocês que também estão em Roma.
16 [That leads me to say that] I very confidently proclaim [LIT] the good message [about what Christ has done], because this good message is the powerful [means] that God [uses] to save [from the guilt of their sins] all people who trust [in what Christ has done for them]. Specifically, God first has saved the Jews [who believe the good message], and then he has saved non-Jews.
Pois não tenho vergonha da Boa Nova de Cristo, pois é o poder de Deus para a salvação de todo aquele que crê, primeiro para o judeu, e também para o grego.
17 By means of this good message God reveals how he erases the record of people’s sins (OR, declares people no longer guilty for having sinned); and his doing this is entirely because [IDM] they trust [in Christ. This is confirmed] by what [a prophet long ago] wrote [that God said], “Those (whose record of sin [I] have erased/whom [I] have declared no longer guilty for sin) because they trust [in me] will live [forever].”
Pois nela é revelada a justiça de Deus de fé em fé. Como está escrito: “Mas os justos viverão pela fé”.
18 From [where God rules in] heaven he is making it clear to all [non-Jewish] people who show no respect for God and who do wicked things, that he is angry with them [and that they deserve to be punished] {[that he would punish them]} [MTY]. By means of [their behaving] wickedly, they keep other people [from believing what they know] to be true [about God].
Pois a ira de Deus se revela do céu contra toda a impiedade e injustiça dos homens que suprimem a verdade em injustiça,
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
porque o que é conhecido de Deus se revela neles, pois Deus lhes revelou isso.
20 [People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios g126)
Pois as coisas invisíveis dele desde a criação do mundo são claramente vistas, sendo percebidas através das coisas que são feitas, mesmo seu poder eterno e divindade, para que possam ser sem desculpas. (aïdios g126)
21 Although [the non-Jews] knew what God [is like], they did not honor him as God, nor did they thank [him for what he had done]. But instead, they began to think foolish [things about him], and they became unable to understand [MET] [what he wanted them to know].
Porque conhecendo Deus, eles não o glorificaram como Deus, e não deram graças, mas se tornaram vãos em seu raciocínio, e seu coração sem sentido foi obscurecido.
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
Professando-se sábios, eles se tornaram tolos,
23 and they refused to [admit that] God is glorious and will never die. Instead, they made and worshipped idols [that resembled people who] will some day die, and [then they made other idols that resembled] birds and four-footed animals, and [finally] they made idols that resembled reptiles.
e trocaram a glória do Deus incorruptível pela semelhança de uma imagem de homem corruptível, e de pássaros, animais de quatro pés, e coisas rastejantes.
24 So God allowed [the non-Jews] do immoral sexual things that they [SYN] strongly desired, things [that their desires were compelling them to do]. As a result, they [began to] dishonor each other’s bodies [by their sexual actions].
Portanto, Deus também os entregou nas cobiças de seus corações à imundícia, para que seus corpos fossem desonrados entre si;
25 Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn g165)
que trocou a verdade de Deus por uma mentira, e adorou e serviu à criatura em vez do Criador, que é abençoado para sempre. Amém. (aiōn g165)
26 So, God allowed [the non-Jews to do] shameful [sexual] things that they [strongly] desired. As a result, many women did not have natural sexual relations [with their husbands] [EUP]. Instead, they were doing sexual actions with other women [EUP].
Por esta razão, Deus os entregou a paixões vis. Pois suas mulheres mudaram a função natural para aquela que é contra a natureza.
27 Similarly, [many] men stopped having/did not have natural sexual relations with women [EUP]. Instead, they strongly desired to have sexual relations with other men. They committed [homosexual] acts with other men, acts that were shameful. As a result, [God has] punished them [by sicknesses] in their bodies, which is what they deserve [because] they [thought] wrongly [that God would not punish them for doing that].
Da mesma forma também os homens, deixando a função natural da mulher, queimados em sua luxúria uns pelos outros, os homens fazendo o que é inadequado com os homens, e recebendo em si mesmos a devida penalidade de seu erro.
28 Furthermore, because they decided that it was not [worthwhile] to know God, he allowed their own worthless thoughts [to completely control them]. As a result, they began doing [evil] things that [God says that people] should not do.
Mesmo recusando-se a ter Deus em seu conhecimento, Deus os entregou a uma mente reprovadora, para fazer aquelas coisas que não são adequadas;
29 They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] unrighteous [things]. They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] evil things [to others]. They strongly desire to possess things that [belong to others]. They strongly desire to harm [others] in various ways. [Many non-Jews] are constantly envying [other people. Many] constantly desire to murder [people. Many] constantly desire to cause strife [between people. Many] constantly desire to deceive [others. Many] constantly desire to speak hatefully [about others] (OR, [to speak harmful things about others, things that are not true]). [Many] gossip [about others].
being cheio de toda injustiça, imoralidade sexual, maldade, cobiça, malícia; cheios de inveja, assassinato, contenda, engano, maus hábitos, caluniadores secretos,
30 [Many] slander [others. Many] act especially hatefully toward God. [Many] speak or act in an insulting way [toward others. Many] treat others contemptuously. [Many] boast [about themselves to others. Many] invent new ways to do evil things. [Many non-Jewish children] disobey their parents.
backbiters, odiosos a Deus, insolentes, arrogantes, orgulhosos, inventores de coisas más, desobedientes aos pais,
31 [Many non-Jews] act in other morally foolish ways. [Many] do not do what they promised [others that they would do. Many] do not [even] love [their own family members. And many] do not act mercifully [toward other people].
sem compreensão, quebradores de pactos, sem afeição natural, impiedosos, impiedosos;
32 Although they know that God has declared that those who do such things deserve to be killed, they not only habitually do these [kinds of evil] things, but they also approve of others who habitually do them.
que, conhecendo a ordenança de Deus, que aqueles que praticam tais coisas são dignos de morte, não só fazem o mesmo, mas também aprovam aqueles que as praticam.
