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,

²which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures,

²mida Jumal on muiste oma prohvetite kaudu pühades kirjades tõotanud

³concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

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

⁴who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord,

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

⁵through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

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

⁶among whom are ye also called [to be] Jesus Christ's:

⁶kelle seas teiegi olete Jeesuse Kristuse kutsutud -

⁷To all that are 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 proclaimed 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 in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly 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 may be prospered 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 with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

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

¹³And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the 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 Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

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 also that are in Rome.

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

¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the gospel: 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 revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous 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 hinder 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 in them; for God manifested it unto them.

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

²⁰For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be 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, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless 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 incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

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

²⁴Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:

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

²⁵for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather 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 passions: for their women changed 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 unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

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 refused to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

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, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

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

³⁰backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

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

³¹without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:

³¹mõistmatud, truudusetud, leppimatud, halastamatud,

³²who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise 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.
