¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

¹Paulus, Kristuse Jeesuse sulane, kutsutud apostel, välja valitud kuulutama Jumala evangeeliumi,

²(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

²mida Jumal on muiste oma prohvetite kaudu pühades kirjades tõotanud

³Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

³oma Pojast - kes liha poolest on sündinud Taaveti soost,

⁴And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

⁴ent pühaduse Vaimu poolest määratud oma surnuist ülestõusmise järel Jumala Pojaks väes - Jeesusest Kristusest, meie Issandast,

⁵By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

⁵kelle käest ma olen saanud armu ja apostliameti, et äratada kuulekust usule tema nime auks kõikide rahvaste seas,

⁶Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

⁶kelle seas teiegi olete Jeesuse Kristuse kutsutud -

⁷To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷kõigile Roomas olevaile Jumala armastatuile, kutsutud pühadele: Armu teile ja rahu Jumalalt, meie Isalt, ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!

⁸First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

⁸Esmalt ma tänan oma Jumalat Jeesuse Kristuse läbi teie kõikide pärast, sest teie usust räägitakse kogu maailmas.

⁹For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

⁹Jumal, keda ma oma vaimus teenin, kuulutades evangeeliumi tema Pojast, on ju minu tunnistaja, kuidas ma lakkamatult meenutan teid

¹⁰Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

¹⁰alati oma palveis, kui ma anun, et ehk ometi õnnestuks mul Jumala tahtmisel kord tulla teie juurde.

¹¹For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

¹¹Ma ju igatsen teid näha, et ma võiksin teile jagada mõnda vaimulikku andi teie kinnituseks,

¹²That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

¹²see aga tähendab: teie keskel leida üheskoos julgustust mõlemapoolse usu, teie ja minu oma varal.

¹³Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

¹³Ma ei taha ju, vennad, et teil jääks teadmata: ma olen sageli püüdnud teie juurde tulla, et mul oleks mingit vilja ka teie seas, nagu mul seda on muude rahvaste seas, ent tänini on mulle tulnud ikka mõni takistus.

¹⁴I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

¹⁴Ma olen nii kreeklaste kui umbkeelsete, nii tarkade kui rumalate võlglane.

¹⁵So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

¹⁵Seepärast olen valmis ka teile, Roomas asuvaile, kuulutama evangeeliumi.

¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹⁶Sest ma ei häbene evangeeliumi, see on ju Jumala vägi päästeks igaühele, kes usub, juudile esmalt ja siis kreeklasele.

¹⁷For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

¹⁷Sest Jumala õigus on ilmunud evangeeliumis usust usku, nii nagu on kirjutatud: 'Aga õige jääb usust elama.'

¹⁸For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

¹⁸Jah, Jumala viha ilmub taevast inimeste igasuguse jumalakartmatuse ja ülekohtu vastu, nende vastu, kes tõde hoiavad ülekohtu kammitsais,

¹⁹Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

¹⁹sest et see, mida teatakse Jumalast, on nende keskel avalik, Jumal on seda neile avaldanud.

²⁰For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

²⁰Tema nähtamatu olemus, tema jäädav vägi ja jumalikkus on ju maailma loomisest peale nähtav, kui mõeldakse tema tehtule, nii et nad ei saa endid vabandada,

²¹Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²¹sest et Jumalat tundes nad ei ole ülistanud ega tänanud teda kui Jumalat, vaid on oma arvamustega jooksnud tühja ning nende mõistmatu süda on jäänud pimedaks.

²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²²Väites endid targad olevat, on nad läinud rumalaks

²³And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

²³ja on kadumatu Jumala kirkuse vahetanud kaduva inimese ja lindude ja neljajalgsete ja roomajate kujutistega.

²⁴Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

²⁴Seepärast ongi Jumal andnud nemad nende südame himudes rüvedusse, et nad oma ihu ise häbistaksid.

²⁵Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

²⁵Nad on Jumala tõe vahetanud vale vastu ning austanud ja teeninud loodut Looja asemel, kes olgu kiidetud igavesti. Aamen.

²⁶For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

²⁶Seepärast on Jumal nad andnud häbitute kirgede kätte: nende naised on ju vahetanud loomuliku vahekorra loomuvastasega,

²⁷And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

²⁷nõndasamuti ka mehed, loobudes loomulikust vahekorrast naisega, on oma tungis süttinud üksteise vastu - mees on teinud mehega nurjatust - ja on seega iseenestes saanud kätte paratamatu palga oma eksimuse eest.

²⁸And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

²⁸Ja nii nagu nad ei ole hoolinud Jumala tunnetusest, nõnda on Jumal nad andnud kõlbmatu mõtteviisi kätte, tegema seda, mis on väär;

²⁹Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

²⁹nad on tulvil igasugust ülekohut, kurjust, ahnust ja tigedust, täis kadedust, tapmist, riidu, kavalust, kiuslikkust, nad on keelekandjad,

³⁰Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³⁰laimajad, Jumala vihkajad, julmurid, ülbed, kelkijad, halva peale leidlikud, vanematele sõnakuulmatud,

³¹Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

³¹mõistmatud, truudusetud, leppimatud, halastamatud,

³²Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

³²kes küll teavad Jumala käsku - et need, kes selliseid asju teevad, on surma väärt -, kuid ei tee seda mitte üksnes ise, vaid tunnevad head meelt neist, kes nii teevad.
