¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God —

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

²which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings —

²mida Jumal on muiste oma prohvetite kaudu pühades kirjades tõotanud

³concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh,

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

⁴who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord;

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

⁵through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

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

⁶among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ;

⁶kelle seas teiegi olete Jeesuse Kristuse kutsutud -

⁷to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ!

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

⁸first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in 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 in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

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

¹⁰always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall 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 to you some spiritual gift, that ye may be established;

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

¹²and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.

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

¹³And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you — and was hindered till the present time — that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.

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.

¹⁴Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,

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

¹⁵so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,

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

¹⁶for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

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

¹⁷For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,`

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

¹⁸for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down 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 is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest [it] to 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, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead — to their being inexcusable;

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, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent 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 to be wise, they were made fools,

²²Väites endid targad olevat, on nad läinud rumalaks

²³and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

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

²⁴Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

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

²⁵who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen.

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

²⁶Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;

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

²⁷and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.

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, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

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

²⁹having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

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

³⁰evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

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

³¹unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;

³¹mõistmatud, truudusetud, leppimatud, halastamatud,

³²who the righteous judgment of God having known — that those practising such things are worthy of death — not only do them, but also have delight with those practising 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.
