Romanos 1
1 Paulo, servo de Jesus Christo, chamado para apostolo, separado para o evangelho de Deus,
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
2 Que antes havia promettido pelos seus prophetas nas sanctas escripturas,
which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
3 Ácerca de seu Filho, que foi gerado da descendencia de David segundo a carne,
who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
4 Declarado Filho de Deus em poder, segundo o Espirito de sanctificação, pela resurreição dos mortos, Jesus Christo Nosso Senhor,
but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 Pelo qual recebemos a graça e o apostolado, para a obediencia da fé entre todas as gentes pelo seu nome,
through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,
6 Entre os quaes sois tambem vós, os chamados de Jesus Christo.
among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
7 A todos os que estaes em Roma, amados de Deus, chamados sanctos: Graça e paz de Deus nosso pae, e do Senhor Jesus Christo.
To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Primeiramente dou graças ao meu Deus por Jesus Christo, ácerca de vós todos, porque em todo o mundo é annunciada a vossa fé.
First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.
9 Porque Deus, a quem sirvo em meu espirito no evangelho de seu Filho, me é testemunha de como incessantemente faço menção de vós
I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,
10 Rogando sempre em minhas orações que n'algum tempo, pela vontade de Deus, se me offereça boa occasião de ir ter comvosco.
always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.
11 Porque desejo ver-vos, para vos communicar algum dom espiritual, afim de que sejaes confortados;
For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
12 Isto é: para que juntamente comvosco eu seja consolado pela fé mutua, assim vossa como minha.
in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
13 Porém, irmãos, não quero que ignoreis que muitas vezes propuz ir ter comvosco (mas até agora tenho sido impedido) para tambem ter entre vós algum fructo, como tambem entre os demais gentios.
And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.
14 Eu sou devedor, tanto a gregos como a barbaros, tanto a sabios como a ignorantes.
I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
15 Assim que, quanto a mim, estou prompto para tambem vos annunciar o evangelho, a vós que estaes em Roma.
so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
16 Porque não me envergonho do evangelho de Christo, pois é o poder de Deus para salvação a todo aquelle que crê; primeiro ao judeo, e tambem ao grego.
For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
17 Porque n'elle se descobre a justiça de Deus de fé em fé, como está escripto: Mas o justo viverá da fé.
For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."
18 Porque do céu se manifesta a ira de Deus sobre toda a impiedade e injustiça dos homens, que deteem a verdade em injustiça.
For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:
19 Porquanto o que de Deus se pode conhecer n'elles está manifesto; porque Deus lh'o manifestou.
because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
20 Porque as suas coisas invisiveis, desde a creação do mundo, tanto o seu eterno poder, como a sua divindade, se entendem, e claramente se vêem pelas coisas que estão creadas, para que fiquem inexcusaveis; (aïdios g126)
For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 Porquanto, tendo conhecido a Deus, não o glorificaram como Deus, nem lhe deram graças, antes em seus discursos se desvaneceram, e o seu coração insensato se obscureceu.
For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 Dizendo-se sabios, tornaram-se loucos.
While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
23 E mudaram a gloria do Deus incorruptivel em similhança de imagem de homem corruptivel, e de aves, e de quadrupedes, e de reptis.
and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
24 Pelo que tambem Deus os entregou ás concupiscencias de seus corações, á immundicia, para deshonrarem seus corpos entre si:
For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.
25 Pois mudaram a verdade de Deus em mentira, e honraram e serviram mais a creatura do que o Creador, que é bemdito eternamente. Amen. (aiōn g165)
For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Pelo que Deus os abandonou ás paixões infames. Porque até as suas mulheres mudaram o uso natural, no contrario á natureza.
This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,
27 E, similhantemente, tambem os varões, deixando o uso natural da mulher, se inflammaram em sua sensualidade uns para com os outros, varão com varão, commettendo torpeza e recebendo em si mesmos a recompensa que convinha ao seu erro.
in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.
28 E, como elles se não importaram de reconhecer a Deus, assim Deus os entregou a um sentimento perverso, para fazerem coisas que não conveem;
And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.
29 Estando cheios de toda a iniquidade, fornicação, malicia, avareza, maldade; cheios de inveja, homicidio, contenda, engano, malignidade;
Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.
30 Murmuradores, detractores, aborrecedores de Deus, injuriadores, soberbos, presumpçosos, inventores de males, desobedientes aos pães e ás mães;
They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,
31 Nescios, infieis nos contractos, sem affeição natural, irreconciliaveis, sem misericordia;
faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
32 Os quaes, conhecendo a justiça de Deus (que são dignos de morte os que praticam taes coisas), não sómente as fazem, mas tambem consentem aos que as fazem.
In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
