Romawa 1

1 Bulus vren koh Yesu Almasihu, wa ba you aye, kma tie ndji u toh ndu, wa ba chu zi kan nitu tre Irji.

From Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for a gospel of God,

2 Wa i hi tre wa a chu nyu ni sen mu ni bi toh ndu ma ni tsatsraka ibe ma.

which through his prophets he promised beforetime, in holy writings;

3 Ahe ni tu vren ma, wa ba ngrji'u ni kutra kahlan Dauda ni kpa.

this gospel is concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of David’s posterity in respect of his bodily nature,

4 Ni Brji ndindima u suron ndindi, wa a lunde ni mi be bak tsro da Vren Irji ni gbengblen Ibrji ndindi u bi wa ba he kiklan suron u Yesu Almasihu Bachi mbu

but was by his resurrection from the dead instated as Son of God, with power, in respect of his spirit of holiness.

5 Ni tuma ki kpa ndindi ni toh ndu nitu kpa nyime u ndindi nimi bi korah wawu'u, nitu inde ma u ndindi.

It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his name’s sake;

6 Ni mi bi kora kwa, bi yi me ba you yi hi ni Yesu Almasihu.

among whom you also are called to be Jesus Christ’s.

7 Lbe i ahi u bi wawu'u bi wa bi he ni mi Roman, wa Irji ni son ba, wa ba you ndji mba ndi tsarkaku. Du ndindi ni sun si rji ni Irji Bachi Iti mbu, ni Bachi Yesu Almasihu.

To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace.

8 Ikpe u mumla misi ngyiri ni Irji mu ni tu Yesu Almasihu nitu bi wawu'u, don naki basi tre nitu njanji bi ni gbungblu wawu'u.

First I thank my God, through Jesus Christ, for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout all the world.

9 Don Irji wawu yi toh me, wa misi tie ndu ma ni mi Ruhu mu ni tre Vren Ma, wa mi you nde bi chachu'u.

God is my witness, to whom I render holy service in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I am ever making mention of you in my prayers,

10 Mi nji yi mu ni bre chachu'u du me toh koh wa mi ye u Hellinawa.

always entreating him that now at length, if such be his will, the way may be made clear for me to come to you.

11 Nakima Irji na hi u tara na.

For I am longing so to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established;

12 Ni biwa ba lah tre ni tron na, ba kwu ba tare da tron na, ni bi wa ba lah tre ni mi tron, ba hukunta ba nitu tron.

that is, that I with you may be encouraged by you, each of us by the other’s faith, yours and mine.

13 Naki ma ana biwa ba wo tron, ana baba bi ndindi u Irji na, naki bi ti, ba kpa ba chuwo.

I want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you - though until now I have been hindered - so as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.

14 Bi kora wa bana toh tron na, nitu da bia bati kpi wa ahi u tron.

To Greeks and to barbarians, to the cultured and to the uncultured, I have a debt to discharge.

15 Nakima ba tsro ndi idu ni tron ani wa han ni suron ba, imre ba ni bla, ri mre ba ni chan ba ko ani ka'aba. Nakima ni Irji wa i ni ti ni vie wa Irji ni bla asiri wa he riri u bi he ni mi Roma

So much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

16 Nakima isha na time na, dume hla tre na, don kima hi gbengblen Irji don kpachuwo wa bi wa ba kpa nyime, bi mumla Yahudawa u Halleniyawa.

FOR I AM PROUD OF THE GOSPEL. IT IS GOD’S SAVING POWER FOR EVERY ONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO FOR THE GENTILE.

17 Naki nimi ma ndindi Irji ka tsro u njanji hi ni njanji, na ba nha zi, ndji u ndindi ani sun nitu njanji.

FOR IN IT IS BEING REVEALED A RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH PROCEEDS FROM GOD, FROM FAITH UNTO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN.

18 Nakima infu Irji a tsro rji ni shu nitu bi wa bana hu nkon ni ndindi u mri Adamu bi wa ba chan njanji nitu njanji na he ni bana.

For God’s wrath is ever being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who smother the truth by their unrighteousness.

19 Nakima, ikpe wa a mla duba toh ni Irji ahe ni rira me nitu mba Naki ma Irji a tsro ba wawu hi zahiri.

This is so because that which may be known of God is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them.

20 Nakima idu ma wa bana ya toh na a ni rira ba he tu ni nton wa ati gbungblu'a. Ba ya toh ba nitu ikpi bi wa ati'a. Ikpi bi yi baba ba ikoma u kakle ni Allahtakarsa. Nakima indji bi bana he ni sen nyu na. (aïdios g126)

For ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his everlasting power and divinity, has been clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made. So they have no excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 Nakima ba ndji ba toh Irji, aman bana no ninkon u matsayi Irji na, ko duba tsro ingyiri. Nakima ba kma ti ruru ni mi mre mba. Imre u suron mba hi u bu.

For although they knew God, yet they did not glorify him as God, nor give him thanks; but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.

22 Ba ban tumba na bi wa ba toh, aman se ba kma tie ruru.

While they professed to be wise, they became fools,

23 Ba sran ninkon Irji u kakle ni kpi wa bana kakle ana na indji, cicen ni na nma bi zizia ni biwa ba nha ni ne.

and exchanged the majesty of the imperishable God for an idol, graven in the likeness of perishable man, or of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.

24 Nakima Irji ka ban no sha'awa pipi suron mba ba ti kpa yah.

So God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their own bodies;

25 Baba yi ba sran njanji Irji ni che, ba si tie sujada ni bauta ni kpe wa ba tie ba ni wo, maimako wa ati ta, wa a mla zu nde kakle. (aiōn g165)

because they exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Nakima Irji ban ba no sha'awoyi u ti fa ba iyah har mbah ba kasran kaida jima hi mbah ni mbah.

That is why God has given them up to passions of dishonor; for on the one hand their women actually changed the natural function of sex into that which is against nature;

27 Lilon ba bame ba sran kaida jimai u lilon ni mbah hi ni lilon ni lilon ba si tie ndu fa. Lilon ba kru ni lilon nda ni tie kpi u chi basi chan sakamako indu mba u chi.

and on the other hand their men likewise abandoned the natural use of women, and were ablaze with passion for one another; men with men practising shameless acts and receiving in their own person that recompense of their wrong-doing which necessarily followed.

28 Nakima bana kpa nyime ni Irji na ni mi duba, Irji ban ba no ni kpa risu ni mre mba, basi tie meme kpi biyi.

And just as they refused to continue to retain God in their knowledge, so did God cast them out to an outcast mind, to do those things which were indecent.

29 Ba shu ni rashi ndindi, meme kyashi, keta, tigu, wudi, wa-nyu, makirci, ni meme mre.

They were overflowing with every kind of iniquity, depravity, greed, and malice. They were full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and malignity.

30 Bi ti pre, kage, bi wa bana son Irji na. Bi wa bana son sun si na, bi santu, ni bi gla, bi ha meme che, ni bi wa bana hu/wo ba ti/yi mba.

They became whisperers, back-biters, hated of God, insolent, haughty, boastful. They invented sins. They were disobedient to parents.

31 Biwa isuron mba tsro pipi me, biri amana biwa bana he ni son na, bi wa bana he ni lo suron na.

They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.

32 Ba toh tsari Irji tre bi wa bati ikpi baki, ba mla kwu, ana ti kpi ni kangrji na, hra ba hu gon biwa bati ba.

Though they knew well the ordinance of God, that those who practise such vices are worthy of death, they not only continue to do the same, but were even applauding those who practise vice.
