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

¹Pavel, hlapec Jezusa Kristusa, poklican apostol, odločen za evangelij Božji,

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

²ki ga je Bog prej obljubil po prorokih svojih v svetih pismih

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

³o svojem Sinu, rojenem iz semena Davidovega po mesu,

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

⁴postavljenem [Drugi prelagajo: izkazanem, ali: določenem.] za Sina Božjega v moči po duhu svetosti na podlagi vstajenja od mrtvih, o Jezusu Kristusu, Gospodu našem.

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

⁵Po njem smo prejeli milost in apostolstvo, da se razširi poslušnost veri med vsemi narodi zaradi imena njegovega,

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

⁶ki ste med njimi tudi vi, poklicani Jezusa Kristusa;

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.

⁷vsem, ki so v Rimu, ljubljencem Božjim, poklicanim svetim: Milost vam bodi in mir od Boga Očeta našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.

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

⁸Najprej zahvaljujem Boga svojega po Jezusu Kristusu za vse vas, da se o veri vaši oznanja po vsem svetu.

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;

⁹Kajti priča mi je Bog, ki mu služim v duhu svojem v evangeliju Sina njegovega, kako se vas neprenehoma spominjam, vsekdar v svojih molitvah proseč,

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

¹⁰da bi se mi kako že posrečilo po volji Božji priti k vam.

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

¹¹Zakaj močno vas želim videti, da bi vam podelil kak duhovni dar v potrjenje vaše;

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

¹²a to je, da se sredi vas porazveselim z vami vred, po skupni, vaši in svoji veri.

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.

¹³Nočem pa, bratje, da bi ne vedeli, da sem se mnogokrat namenil priti k vam (pa sem bil zadržan do sedaj), da bi kaj sadu dobil tudi med vami, enako kakor med drugimi pogani.

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

¹⁴Dolžnik sem enako vsem: Grkom in divjakom, modrim in neumnim.

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

¹⁵Tako torej, kar se mene tiče, sem voljan oznanjati evangelij tudi vam, ki ste v Rimu.

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.

¹⁶Kajti ne sramujem se evangelija, ker je moč Božja v zveličanje vsakemu, ki veruje, Judu najprej, pa tudi Grku.

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

¹⁷Zakaj pravičnost Božja se v njem razodeva iz vere v vero, kakor je pisano: „A pravičnik bo živel iz vere“.

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

¹⁸Razodeva se namreč jeza Božja z neba nad vsako brezbožnostjo in krivičnostjo ljudi, ki zadržujejo resnico v krivici,

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

¹⁹ker to, kar more biti znano o Bogu, je v njih vesti očitno; Bog jim je to namreč razodel.

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:

²⁰Kajti kar se od njega ne more videti, njegova večna moč in božanstvo, to se od ustvarjenja sveta zaznava z umom in vidi po njegovih delih, tako da se ne morejo izgovarjati.

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.

²¹Ker vkljub temu, da so spoznali Boga, ga niso slavili kot Boga, niti se mu zahvalili, temuč so zabredli v ničeve misli in njih nerazumno srce je potemnelo.

²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²²Izdajajoč se za modre, so postali nespametni

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.

²³in zamenili so slavo netrohljivega Boga s podobo obraza trohljivega človeka in ptic in četveronogih živali in lazečih zveri.

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

²⁴Zato jih je tudi izročil Bog, v željah njih src, v nečistost, da se skrunijo njih telesa med njimi samimi;

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.

²⁵ki so zamenili resnico Božjo z lažjo in so izkazali večjo čast in službo stvoru nego Stvarniku, ki je hvaljen na veke. Amen.

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:

²⁶Zato jih je izročil Bog v sramotne strasti: kajti njih ženske so premenile naravno upotrebljevanje v protinaravno,

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.

²⁷a enako so tudi moški zavrgli naravno upotrebljevanje ženske in se vneli v svoji želji drug za drugega ter počenjali nesramnosti moški z moškimi. In tako so prejemali zasluženo plačilo svoje zmote sami na sebi.

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;

²⁸In kakor niso marali Boga imeti v spoznanju, tako jih je Bog izročil popačeni pameti, da so delali, kar ni spodobno,

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

²⁹ter so bili napolnjeni vsakršne krivice, malopridnosti, lakomnosti, hudobnosti, polni zavisti, ubojstva, prepira, zvijače, zlobnosti;

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

³⁰prišeptavalci, obrekovalci, sovražni Bogu, grozovitniki, ošabneži, bahači, izmišljevalci hudega, roditeljem nepokorni,

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

³¹nerazumni, verolomni, brez ljubezni, neusmiljeni,ki, čeprav dobro poznajo pravno naredbo Božjo, da so vredni smrti, kateri tako delajo, takisto ne samo počenjajo, ampak tudi še hvalijo te, ki tako delajo.

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.

³²ki, čeprav dobro poznajo pravno naredbo Božjo, da so vredni smrti, kateri tako delajo, takisto ne samo počenjajo, ampak tudi še hvalijo te, ki tako delajo.
