Epistola ad Romanos

Paulus, servus Jesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei,

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God.

Paulo, servo de Iesu de Christo, vocato Apostolo, segrega in Evangelio de Deo,

quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis

Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,

Quod ante promitte per prophetas suo in Scripturas sancto

de Filio suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem,

Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,

De Filio suo, qui facto es ad illo ex semine Davide secundo carne,

qui prædestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Jesu Christi Domini nostri:

Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead:

Qui praedestina es Filio de Deo in virtute secundo spiritu de sanctificatione ex resurrectione mortuo de Iesu de Christo de Domino nostro:

per quem accepimus gratiam, et apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro nomine ejus,

By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name:

Per quem accipe gratia, et apostolatu ad obedi de fide in omni gentes pro nomine de illo,

in quibus estis et vos vocati Jesu Christi:

Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:

In que es et vos voca de Iesu de Christo:

omnibus qui sunt Romæ, dilectis Dei, vocatis sanctis. Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ad omni qui es de Roma, dilige de Deo, voca sancto. Gratia ad vos, et pace ab Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.

Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Jesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annuntiatur in universo mundo.

First, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all: because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.

Primo quidem gratias age ad Deo meo per Iesu Christo pro omni vos: quia fide vestro annuntia in universa mundo.

Testis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio Filii ejus, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you:

Teste nam ad me es Deo, ad que servi in spiritu meo in Evangelio de Filio de illo, quod sine intermissione memoria vestro fac

semper in orationibus meis: obsecrans, si quomodo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos.

Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.

Semper in orationes meo: obsecra, si quomodo denique aliquando prospero itinere habe in voluntate de Deo veni ad vos.

Desidero enim videre vos, ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiæ spiritualis ad confirmandos vos:

For I long to see you that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:

Desidera nam videre vos, ut aliquo impertie ad vos de gratia spirituali ad confirma vos:

id est, simul consolari in vobis per eam quæ invicem est, fidem vestram atque meam.

That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.

Id es, simul consola in vos per illa que invicem es, fide vestro et meo.

Nolo autem vos ignorare fratres: quia sæpe proposui venire ad vos (et prohibitus sum usque adhuc) ut aliquem fructum habeam et in vobis, sicut et in ceteris gentibus.

And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you (and have been hindered hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

Ne vol autem vos ignora fratres: quia saepe propone venire ad vos (et prohibe es usque adhuc) ut aliquo fructu habe et in vos, sicut et in cetero gentes.

Græcis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum:

To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor.

Graeco et barbaros, sape, et insipiente debitore es:

ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romæ estis, evangelizare.

So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.

Ita (quod in me) prompto es et ad vos, qui de Roma es, evangeliza.

Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Judæo primum, et Græco.

For 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 to the Greek.

Non nam erubesce Evangelio. Virtute nam de Deo es in salute omni crede, ad Iudaeo primo, et ad Graeco.

Justitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem: sicut scriptum est: Justus autem ex fide vivit.

For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.

Iustitia nam de Deo in eo revela ex fide in fide: sicut scripto es: iusto autem ex fide vive.

Revelatur enim ira Dei de cælo super omnem impietatem, et injustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in injustitia detinent:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:

Ira nam de Deo revela de caelo super omni impietate, et iniustitia de homines de illos, qui detine veritate in iniustitia de Deo:

quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.

Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.

Quia quod noto es de Deo, manifesto es in illos. Deo nam ad illos manifesta.

Invisibilia enim ipsius, a creatura mundi, per ea quæ facta sunt, intellecta, conspiciuntur: sempiterna quoque ejus virtus, et divinitas: ita ut sint inexcusabiles.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made. His eternal power also and divinity: so that they are inexcusable.

Invisibili nam de ipso, ab creatura de mundo, per illa que facto es, intellege, conspice: sempiterno etiam de illo virtute, et divinitate: ita ut es inexcusabile.

Quia cum cognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt, aut gratias egerunt: sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum:

Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God or given thanks: but became vain in their thoughts. And their foolish heart was darkened.

Quia cum cognosce Deo, non sicut Deo glorifica, aut gratias age: sed evanesce in cogitationes suo, et obscura es insipiente corde de illos:

dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt.

For, professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Dicente nam se es sape, stulto fac es.

Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium.

And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts and of creeping things.

Et muta gloria de incorruptibili de Deo in similitudine de imagine corruptibili de homine, et de volucres, et de quadrupedes, et de serpentes.

Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam, ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis:

Wherefore, God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness: to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.

Propter quod Deo trade illos in desiderios de corde de illos, in immunditia, ut contumelias afficie corpores suo in semetipsos:

qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium: et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturæ potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in sæcula. Amen.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Qui commuta veritate de Deo in mendacio: et cole, et servi ad creatura potius quam ad Creatore, qui es benedicto in saeculos. Amen.

Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiæ: nam feminæ eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam.

For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.

Propter hoc Deo trade illos in passiones de ignominia: nam de femina de illos immuta naturali usu in illo usu qui es contra natura.

Similiter autem et masculi, relicto naturali usu feminæ, exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem, masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes, et mercedem, quam oportuit, erroris sui in semetipsis recipientes.

And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.

Similiter autem et masculo, relinque naturali usu de femina, exarde in desiderios suo in invicem, masculo in masculo turpitudine operor, et mercede, quam debe, de errore suo in semetipsos recipe.

Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia, tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum, ut faciant ea quæ non conveniunt,

And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient.

Et sicut non proba Deo habere in notitia, Deo trade illos in reprobo sensu, ut fac illa que non conveni,

repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate: susurrones,

Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness: full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity: whisperers,

Reple omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plena invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate: susurrones,

detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes,

Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Detractores, ad Deo odibile, contumelioso, superbo, effeda, inventores de malos, parentes non obedi,

insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque fœdere, sine misericordia.

Foolish, dissolute: without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.

Insipiente, incompona, sine affectione, absque foedere, sine misericordia.

Qui cum justitiam Dei cognovissent, non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte: et non solum qui ea faciunt, sed etiam qui consentiunt facientibus.

Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death: and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.

Qui cum cognosce iustitia de Deo, non intellege quia qui age tale, digna es morte: et non solo qui fac illa, sed etiam qui consentie fac.
