¹Pavao, sluga Krista Isusa, pozvan za apostola, odlučen za evanđelje Božje -

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

²koje Bog unaprijed obećavaše po svojim prorocima u Pismima svetim

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

³o Sinu svome, potomku Davidovu po tijelu,

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

⁴postavljenu Sinom Božjim, u snazi, po Duhu posvetitelju uskrsnućem od mrtvih, o Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu,

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

⁵po komu primismo milost i apostolstvo da na slavu imena njegova k poslušnosti vjere privodimo sve pogane

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

⁶među kojima ste i vi pozvanici Isusa Krista:

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

⁷svima u Rimu, miljenicima Božjim, pozvanicima, svetima. Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista.

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.

⁸Ponajprije zahvaljujem Bogu mojemu po Isusu Kristu za sve vas: što se vaša vjera navješćuje po svem svijetu.

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

⁹Doista, svjedok mi je Bog - komu duhom svojim služim u evanđelju Sina njegova - da vas se

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,

¹⁰u svojim molitvama neprekidno spominjem i uvijek molim ne bi li mi se već jednom s voljom Božjom nekako posrećilo doći k vama.

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

¹¹Jer čeznem vidjeti vas da vam predam nešto dara duhovnoga te se ojačate, zapravo -

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

¹²da se zajedno s vama ohrabrim zajedničkom vjerom, vašom i mojom.

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

¹³A ne bih htio, braćo, da ne znate: često sam bio nakanio doći k vama - i sve dosad bio spriječen - da i među vama uberem koji plod kao i među drugim narodima.

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.

¹⁴Dužnik sam Grcima i barbarima, mudracima i neznalicama.

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

¹⁵Odatle moja nakana da i vama u Rimu navijestim evanđelje.

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

¹⁶Ne stidim se, uistinu, evanđelja: ono je snaga Božja na spasenje svakomu tko vjeruje - Židovu najprije, pa Grku.

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:

¹⁷Jer pravednost se Božja od vjere k vjeri u njemu otkriva kao što je pisano: Pravednik će od vjere živjeti.

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.

¹⁸Otkriva se doista s neba gnjev Božji na svaku bezbožnost i nepravednost ljudi koji istinu sputavaju nepravednošću.

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

¹⁹Jer što se o Bogu može spoznati, očito im je: Bog im očitova.

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

²⁰Uistinu, ono nevidljivo njegovo, vječna njegova moć i božanstvo, onamo od stvaranja svijeta, umom se po djelima razabire tako da nemaju isprike.

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.

²¹Jer premda upoznaše Boga, ne iskazaše mu kao Bogu ni slavu ni zahvalnost, nego ishlapiše u mozganjima svojim te se pomrači bezumno srce njihovo.

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:

²²Gradeći se mudrima, poludješe i

²²professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³zamijeniše slavu neraspadljivog Boga likom, obličjem raspadljiva čovjeka, i ptica, i četveronožaca, i gmazova.

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

²⁴Zato ih je Bog po pohotama srdaca njihovih predao nečistoći te sami obeščašćuju svoja tijela,

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

²⁵oni što su Istinu - Boga zamijenili lažju, častili i štovali stvorenje umjesto Stvoritelja, koji je blagoslovljen u vjekove. Amen.

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.

²⁶Stoga ih je Bog predao sramotnim strastima: njihove žene zamijeniše naravno općenje protunaravnim,

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

²⁷a tako su i muškarci napustili naravno općenje sa ženom i raspalili se pohotom jedni za drugima te muškarci s muškarcima sramotno čine i sami na sebi primaju zasluženu plaću svoga zastranjenja.

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.

²⁸I kako nisu smatrali vrijednim držati se spoznaje Boga, predade ih Bog nevaljanu umu te čine što ne dolikuje,

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;

²⁹puni svake nepravde, pakosti, lakomosti, zloće; puni zavisti, ubojstva, svađe, prijevare, zlonamjernosti; došaptavači,

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

³⁰klevetnici, mrzitelji Boga, drznici, oholice, preuzetnici, izmišljači zala, roditeljima neposlušni,

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

³¹nerazumni, nevjerni, bešćutni, nemilosrdni.

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

³²Znaju za odredbu Božju - da smrt zaslužuju koji takvo što čine - a oni ne samo da to čine nego i povlađuju onima koji čine.

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].
