Romans — 1
Greetings from Shaul
1 This letter is from Shaul, a bondservant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach, chosen by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH to be a Shaliach and sent out to preach 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH‘s Basurah (Good news).
2 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH promised this Basurah (Good News) long ago through His Nabyms in the Qadash Scriptures.
3 The Basurah is about 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH‘s Son. In 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA‘s life in the Arath He was born into King Daud’s family line,
4 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA was shown to be the Son of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH when He was raised from the dead by the power of the RUACH Ha'Qadash. He is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach our Savior.
5 Through Ha'Mashyach, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has given us the privilege and authority as Shaliach to tell the other nations everywhere what HE has done for them, so that they will believe and obey HIM, bringing kabad to His Name.
6 And you are included among those other nations who have been called to belong to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach.
7 I am writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and are called to be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH‘s own qadash people. May 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH our ABBA and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach give you Favor and Shalum.
YAHUAH’s Basurah (Good News)
8 Let me say first that I give Tudah to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH through 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach for all of you, because your Amunah in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is being talked about all over the world.
9 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in prayer to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, whom I serve with all my heart by spreading the Basurah (Good News) about his Son.
10 One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, by the Will of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH that I can come to see you.
11 For I long to visit you so I can bring you some gifts of the RUACH that will help you grow strong in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
12 When we get together, I want to encourage you in your Amunah, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.
13 I want you to know, dear Achks (brothers) and Achutys (sisters), that I planned many times to visit you, but I was prevented until now. I want to work among you and see fruit of the RUACH, just as I have seen among some of the other nations.
14 For I have a great sense of obligation to people in both the civilized world and the rest of the world, to the educated and uneducated alike.
15 So I am eager to come to you in Rome, to preach the Basurah (Good News).
16 For I am not ashamed of this Basurah about Ha'Mashyach. It is the power of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH at work, saving everyone who believes, the Yahudym first and also to the other nations.
17 For this Basurah tells us how 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH makes us right in HIS sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by Amunah. As the Scriptures say, “It is through Amunah that a righteous man has life.”
YAHUAH’s Anger at Sin
18 But 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH shows HIS anger from Shamaym against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
19 They know the truth about 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, because HE has made it obvious to them.
20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the Arath and sky. Through everything 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH made, they can clearly see 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH‘s invisible qualities, and HIS eternal power and Divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
21 Yes, they knew 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, but they would not worship HIM as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH or even give Tudah to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.
22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.
23 And instead of worshiping the awesome, ever living 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 So 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies.
25 They traded the truth about 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH created instead of the Creator HIMSELF, who is worthy of eternal Yadah!
26 That is why 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.
27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, so 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.
30 They are backstabbers, haters of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents.
31 They refuse to understand, they break their promises, they are heartless, and have no mercy.
32 They know 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
