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

¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

²mida Jumal on muiste oma prohvetite kaudu pühades kirjades tõotanud

²which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

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

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

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

⁴who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

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

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

⁶kelle seas teiegi olete Jeesuse Kristuse kutsutud -

⁶among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

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

⁷to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the 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 all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout 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 Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

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

¹⁰requesting, if by any means now at last 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 long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

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

¹²that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, 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.

¹³Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

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

¹⁴I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

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

¹⁵So, as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News 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 Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

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

¹⁷For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

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

¹⁸For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

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

¹⁹because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed 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,

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.

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 didn’t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart 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 traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

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

²⁴Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,

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

²⁵who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against 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.

²⁷Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

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

²⁸Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

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

²⁹being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

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

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

³¹mõistmatud, truudusetud, leppimatud, halastamatud,

³¹without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, 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 ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
