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

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

²mida Jumal on muiste oma prohvetite kaudu pühades kirjades tõotanud

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁶kelle seas teiegi olete Jeesuse Kristuse kutsutud -

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

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

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.

⁸Esmalt ma tänan oma Jumalat Jeesuse Kristuse läbi teie kõikide pärast, sest teie usust räägitakse kogu maailmas.

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

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

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,

¹⁰alati oma palveis, kui ma anun, et ehk ometi õnnestuks mul Jumala tahtmisel kord tulla teie juurde.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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.

¹⁸Jah, Jumala viha ilmub taevast inimeste igasuguse jumalakartmatuse ja ülekohtu vastu, nende vastu, kes tõde hoiavad ülekohtu kammitsais,

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

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

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

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,

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.

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.

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:

²²Väites endid targad olevat, on nad läinud rumalaks

²²professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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;

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

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

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

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

³¹mõistmatud, truudusetud, leppimatud, halastamatud,

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

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.

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].
