Romarbrevet 5
1 Då vi nu hava blivit rättfärdiggjorda av tro, hava vi frid med Gud genom vår Herre Jesus Kristus
Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
2 -- genom vilken vi ock hava fått tillträde till den nåd vari vi nu stå -- och vi berömma oss i hoppet om Guds härlighet.
Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
3 Och icke det allenast, vi till och med berömma oss av våra lidanden, eftersom vi veta att lidandet verkar ståndaktighet,
We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
4 och ståndaktigheten beprövad fasthet, och fastheten hopp,
And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
5 och hoppet låter oss icke komma på skam; ty Guds kärlek är utgjuten i våra hjärtan genom den helige Ande, vilken har blivit oss given.
And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
6 Ty medan vi ännu voro svaga, led Kristus, när tiden var inne, döden för oss ogudaktiga.
When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
7 Näppeligen vill ju eljest någon dö ens för en rättfärdig man -- om nu ock till äventyrs någon kan hava mod att dö för den som har gjort honom gott --
Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
8 men Gud bevisar sin kärlek till oss däri att Kristus dog för oss, medan vi ännu voro syndare.
Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
9 Så mycket mer skola vi därför, sedan vi nu hava blivit rättfärdiggjorda i och genom hans blod, också genom honom bliva frälsta undan vredesdomen.
The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
10 Ty om vi, medan vi voro Guds ovänner, blevo försonade med honom genom hans Sons död, så skola vi, sedan vi hava blivit försonade, ännu mycket mer bliva frälsta i och genom hans liv.
Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
11 Och icke det allenast; vi berömma oss ock av Gud genom vår Herre Jesus Kristus, genom vilken vi nu hava undfått försoningen.
And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
12 Därför är det så: Genom en enda människa har synden kommit in i världen och genom synden döden; och så har döden kommit över alla människor, eftersom de alla hava syndat.
[What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
13 Ty synd fanns i världen redan innan lagen fanns. Men synd tillräknas icke där ingen lag finnes;
[People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
14 och dock har under tiden från Adam till Moses döden haft väldet också över dem som icke hade syndat genom en överträdelse, i likhet med vad Adam gjorde, han som är en förebild till den som skulle komma.
But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
15 Likväl är det icke så med nådegåvan, som det var med syndafallet. Ty om genom en endas fall de många hava blivit döden underlagda, så har ännu mycket mer Guds nåd och gåvan i och genom nåd -- vilken, också den, är kommen genom en enda människa, Jesus Kristus -- blivit på ett överflödande sätt de många beskärd.
But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
16 Och med gåvan är det icke såsom det var med det som kom genom denne ene som syndade: domen kom genom en enda, och ledde till en fördömelsedom, men nådegåvan kom i följd av mångas fall, och ledde till en rättfärdiggörelsedom.
And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
17 Och om döden på grund av en endas fall kom till konungavälde genom denne ene, så skola ännu mycket mer de som undfå den överflödande nåden och rättfärdighetsgåvan få konungsligt välde i liv, också det genom en enda, Jesus Kristus. --
All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
18 Alltså, likasom det, som kom genom en endas fall, för alla människor ledde till en fördömelsedom, så leder det, som kom genom rättfärdiggörelsedomen förmedelst en enda, för alla människor till en rättfärdiggörelse som medför liv.
So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
19 Ty såsom genom en enda människas olydnad de många fingo stå såsom syndare, så skola ock genom en endas lydnad de många stå såsom rättfärdiga.
It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
20 Men lagen har därjämte kommit in, för att fallet skulle bliva så mycket större; dock, där synden blev större, där överflödade nåden mycket mer.
[God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
21 Ty såsom synden hade utövat sitt välde i och genom döden, så skulle nu ock nåden genom rättfärdighet utöva sitt välde till evigt liv, och det genom Jesus Kristus, vår Herre. (aiōnios g166)
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
