¹ሐዋርያ ሊሆን የተጠራ የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ባሪያ ጳውሎስ በነቢያቱ አፍ በቅዱሳን መጻሕፍት አስቀድሞ ተስፋ ለሰጠው ለእግዚአብሔር ወንጌል ተለየ።

¹Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God's glad tidings,

³ይህም ወንጌል በሥጋ ከዳዊት ዘር ስለ ተወለደ እንደ ቅድስና መንፈስ ግን ከሙታን መነሣት የተነሣ በኃይል የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ሆኖ ስለ ተገለጠ ስለ ልጁ ነው፤ እርሱም ጌታችን ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ነው።

²(which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings,)

⁵በእርሱም ስለ ስሙ በአሕዛብ ሁሉ መካከል ከእምነት የሚነሣ መታዘዝ እንዲገኝ ጸጋንና ሐዋርያነትን ተቀበልን፤

³concerning his Son (come of David's seed according to flesh,

⁶በእነርሱም መካከል የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ልትሆኑ የተጠራችሁ እናንተ ደግሞ ናችሁ።

⁴marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;

⁷በእግዚአብሔር ለተወደዳችሁና ቅዱሳን ልትሆኑ ለተጠራችሁ በሮሜ ላላችሁት ሁሉ፥ ከእግዚአብሔር ከአባታችን ከጌታም ከኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ጸጋና ሰላም ለእናንተ ይሁን።

⁵by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,

⁸እምነታችሁ በዓለም ሁሉ ስለ ተሰማች አስቀድሜ ስለ ሁላችሁ አምላኬን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ አመሰግናለሁ።

⁶among whom are *ye* also [the] called of Jesus Christ:

⁹በልጁ ወንጌል በመንፈሴ የማገለግለው እግዚአብሔር ምስክሬ ነውና፤ ምናልባት ብዙ ቆይቼ ወደ እናንተ አሁን እንድመጣ በእግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ መንገዴን እንዲያቀናልኝ እየለመንሁ ሁልጊዜ ስጸልይ ስለ እናንተ ሳላቋርጥ አሳስባለሁ።

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

¹¹ትጸኑ ዘንድ መንፈሳዊ ስጦታ እንዳካፍላችሁ ላያችሁ እናፍቃለሁና፤

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

¹²ይህንም ማለቴ በመካከላችን ባለች በእናንተና በእኔ እምነት አብረን በእናንተ እንድንጽናና ነው።

⁹For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

¹³ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ በሌሎቹ አሕዛብ ደግሞ እንደ ሆነ በእናንተም ፍሬ አገኝ ዘንድ ብዙ ጊዜ ወደ እናንተ ልመጣ እንዳሰብሁ እስከ አሁን ግን እንደ ተከለከልሁ ታውቁ ዘንድ እወዳለሁ።

¹⁰always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

¹⁴ለግሪክ ሰዎችና ላልተማሩም፥ ለጥበበኞችና ለማያስተውሉም ዕዳ አለብኝ፤

¹¹For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you;

¹⁵ስለዚህም በሚቻለኝ መጠን በሮሜ ላላችሁ ለእናንተ ደግሞ ወንጌልን ልሰብክ ተዘጋጅቼአለሁ።

¹²that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine.

¹⁶በወንጌል አላፍርምና፤ አስቀድሞ ለአይሁዳዊ ደግሞም ለግሪክ ሰው፥ ለሚያምኑ ሁሉ የእግዚአብሔር ኃይል ለማዳን ነውና።

¹³But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time,) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also.

¹⁷ጻድቅ በእምነት ይኖራል ተብሎ እንደ ተጻፈ የእግዚአብሔር ጽድቅ ከእምነት ወደ እምነት በእርሱ ይገለጣልና።

¹⁴I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent:

¹⁸እውነትን በዓመፃ በሚከለክሉ ሰዎች በኃጢአተኝነታቸውና በዓመፃቸው ሁሉ ላይ የእግዚአብሔር ቍጣ ከሰማይ ይገለጣልና፤

¹⁵so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who [are] in Rome.

¹⁹እግዚአብሔር ስለ ገለጠላቸው፥ ስለ እግዚአብሔር ሊታወቅ የሚቻለው በእነርሱ ዘንድ ግልጥ ነውና።

¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God's power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek:

²⁰የማይታየው ባሕርይ እርሱም የዘላለም ኃይሉ ደግሞም አምላክነቱ ከዓለም ፍጥረት ጀምሮ ከተሠሩት ታውቆ ግልጥ ሆኖ ይታያልና፤ ስለዚህም እግዚአብሔርን እያወቁ እንደ እግዚአብሔርነቱ መጠን ስላላከበሩትና ስላላመሰገኑት የሚያመካኙት አጡ፤ ነገር ግን በአሳባቸው ከንቱ ሆኑ የማያስተውለውም ልባቸው ጨለመ።

¹⁷for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.

²²ጥበበኞች ነን ሲሉ ደንቆሮ ሆኑ፥

¹⁸For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.

²³የማይጠፋውንም የእግዚአብሔር ክብር በሚጠፋ ሰውና በወፎች አራት እግር ባላቸውም በሚንቀሳቀሱትም መልክ መስለው ለወጡ።

¹⁹Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them,

²⁴ስለዚህ እርስ በርሳቸው ሥጋቸውን ሊያዋርዱ እግዚአብሔር በልባቸው ፍትወት ወደ ርኵስነት አሳልፎ ሰጣቸው፤

²⁰-- for from [the] world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, -- so as to render them inexcusable.

²⁵ይህም የእግዚአብሔርን እውነት በውሸት ስለ ለወጡ በፈጣሪም ፈንታ የተፈጠረውን ስላመለኩና ስላገለገሉ ነው፤ እርሱም ለዘላለም የተባረከ ነው፤ አሜን።

²¹Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

²⁶ስለዚህ እግዚአብሔር ለሚያስነውር ምኞት አሳልፎ ሰጣቸው፤ ሴቶቻቸውም ለባሕርያቸው የሚገባውን ሥራ ለባሕርያቸው በማይገባው ለወጡ፤

²²professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²⁷እንዲሁም ወንዶች ደግሞ ለባሕርያቸው የሚገባውን ሴቶችን መገናኘት ትተው እርስ በርሳቸው በፍትወታቸው ተቃጠሉ፤ ወንዶችም በወንዶች ነውር አድርገው በስሕተታቸው የሚገባውን ብድራት በራሳቸው ተቀበሉ።

²³and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.

²⁸እግዚአብሔርን ለማወቅ ባልወደዱት መጠን እግዚአብሔር የማይገባውን ያደርጉ ዘንድ ለማይረባ አእምሮ አሳልፎ ሰጣቸው፤

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

²⁹ዓመፃ ሁሉ፥ ግፍ፥ መመኘት፥ ክፋት ሞላባቸው፤ ቅናትን፥ ነፍስ መግደልን፥ ክርክርን፥ ተንኰልን፥ ክፉ ጠባይን ተሞሉ፤ የሚያሾከሹኩ፥

²⁵who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. Amen.

³⁰ሐሜተኞች፥ አምላክን የሚጠሉ፥ የሚያንገላቱ፥ ትዕቢተኞች፥ ትምክህተኞች፥ ክፋትን የሚፈላለጉ፥ ለወላጆቻቸው የማይታዘዙ፥

²⁶For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;

³¹የማያስተውሉ፥ ውል የሚያፈርሱ፥ ፍቅር የሌላቸው፥ ምሕረት ያጡ ናቸው፤

²⁷and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.

³²እንደነዚህ ለሚያደርጉት ሞት ይገባቸዋል የሚለውን የእግዚአብሔርን ሕግ እያወቁ እነዚህን ከሚያደርጉ ጋር ይስማማሉ እንጂ አድራጊዎች ብቻ አይደሉም።

²⁸And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;

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

³⁰back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;

³²who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].
