1 Ndine Paulo, mtumiki wa Khristu Yesu, woyitanidwa ndi Mulungu kukhala mtumwi. Ndinapatulidwa kuti ndilalikire Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 umene analonjeza kale mʼMalemba Oyera kudzera mwa aneneri ake.
Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
3 Uthengawu ndi wonena za Mwana wake amene mwa umunthu wake anali wochokera mwa Davide.
Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,
4 Iyeyu ndi amene anatsimikizidwa kukhala Mwana wa Mulungu mwamphamvu za Mzimu Woyera pamene anauka kwa akufa. Kudzera mwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu,
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;
5 ife tinalandira chisomo chokhala atumwi oyitana anthu a mitundu yonse kuti amukhulupirire ndi kumumvera mwachikhulupiriro kuti dzina lake lilemekezedwe.
By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;
6 Inunso muli mʼgulu la Amitundu oyitanidwawo kukhala ake a Yesu Khristu.
Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 Ndikulembera kwa onse okhala ku Roma amene Mulungu amakukondani nakuyitanani kuti mukhale oyera mtima. Chisomo ndi mtendere zochokera kwa Mulungu Atate athu ndi kwa Ambuye Yesu Khristu zikhale ndi inu.
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.
8 Poyamba, ndikuthokoza Mulungu wanga kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu chifukwa cha nonsenu, pakuti pa dziko lonse lapansi anthu akukamba za chikhulupiriro chanu.
First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
9 Mulungu amene ndimamutumikira ndi mtima wanga onse polalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa Mwana wake, ndi mboni yanga kuti ndimakupemphererani nthawi zonse.
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;
10 Mʼmapemphero anga, nthawi zonse, ndimapemphera kuti ngati nʼkotheka mwachifuniro cha Mulungu, njira inditsekukire kuti ndibwere kwanuko.
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.
11 Ine ndikulakalaka kukuonani kuti ndikugawireni mphatso zina zauzimu kuti zikulimbikitseni
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:
12 ndiponso kuti tonsefe tilimbikitsane mʼchikhulupiriro wina ndi mnzake.
That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you, by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.
13 Abale, ine sindifuna kuti mukhale osadziwa kuti nthawi zambiri ndakhala ndikufuna zobwera kwanuko, koma mpaka pano pali zolepheretsa, ndi cholinga choti ndidzapezeko zipatso pakati panupo monga momwe ndakhala ndikuchitira pakati pa a mitundu ina.
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.
14 Ine ndi wokakamizidwa ndi udindo wotumikira Agriki pamodzi ndi omwe si Agriki, kwa anzeru ndi kwa opusa omwe.
To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;
15 Pa chifukwa chimenechi, ine ndikufunitsitsa kulalikira Uthenga Wabwino kwa inunso amene muli ku Roma.
So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
16 Ine sindichita manyazi ndi Uthenga Wabwino chifukwa ndiwo mphamvu za Mulungu zopulumutsa aliyense amene akhulupirira, poyamba Myuda, kenaka Mhelene.
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.
17 Pakuti mu Uthenga Wabwino anawulula kuti chilungamo chimachokera kwa Mulungu. Kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka potsiriza ndi chilungamo chobwera mwachikhulupiriro, monga kwalembedwera kuti, “Wolungama adzakhala ndi moyo mwachikhulupiriro.”
For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.
18 Mkwiyo wa Mulungu ukuonekera kuchokera kumwamba. Ukutsutsana ndi kusapembedza konse ndi kuyipa kwa anthu amene amapondereza choonadi mwa chikhalidwe chawo choyipa.
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:
19 Za Mulungu zimene zingathe kudziwika, ndi zomveka bwino kwa iwo pakuti Mulungu anazionetsera kwa iwo.
Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
20 Pakuti kuyambira pamene dziko lapansi linalengedwa, zinthu zosaoneka za Mulungu, mphamvu zake zosatha ndi chikhalidwe cha umulungu, zakhala zikuoneka bwinobwino. Akhala akuzindikira poona zimene Mulungu analenga, kotero kuti anthu sangathe kuwiringula. (aïdios g126)
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. (aïdios g126)
21 Ngakhale iwo anadziwa Mulungu, sanamulemekeze ngati Mulungu kapena kumuthokoza, koma maganizo awo anasanduka wopanda pake ndipo mʼmitima yawo yopusa munadzaza mdima.
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.
22 Ngakhale ankadzitama kuti ndi anzeru, anasanduka opusa.
For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
23 Iwo anasinthanitsa ulemerero wa Mulungu wosafa ndi mafano opangidwa ndi manja wooneka ngati munthu amene amafa, kapena ngati mbalame, ndi nyama kapena zokwawa.
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.
24 Nʼchifukwa chake Mulungu anawasiya kuti azingochita zilakolako zochititsa manyazi zauchimo zomwe mitima yawo inkafuna. Zotsatira zake anachita za chiwerewere wina ndi mnzake kunyazitsa matupi awo.
Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
25 Iwo anasinthanitsa choonadi cha Mulungu ndi bodza ndipo anapembedza ndi kutumikira zinthu zolengedwa mʼmalo mwa Mlengi amene ali woyenera kutamandidwa mpaka muyaya. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
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. (aiōn g165)
26 Chifukwa cha ichi, Mulungu anawasiya kuti azitsata zilakolako zochititsa manyazi. Ngakhale akazi omwe anasiya machitidwe achibadwidwe pa za ukwati, namachita machitidwe ena otsutsana ndi chibadwa chawo.
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.
27 Chimodzimodzinso amuna analeka machitidwe a ukwati ndi akazi nʼkumakhumbana amuna okhaokha. Amuna ankachita zochitisa manyazizi ndi amuna anzawo, ndipo analandira chilango choyenera molingana ndi zochita zawo zachitayikozo.
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.
28 Ndipo popeza anaona kuti nʼchopanda nzeru kumvera Mulungu, Iye anawasiya kuti atsatire maganizo achitayiko kuti achite zosayenera kuchitazo.
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;
29 Iwo ndi odzazidwa ndi mtundu uliwonse wa makhalidwe oyipa, zonyansa, umbombo ndi dumbo. Iwo ndi odzazidwa ndi kaduka, kupha, mikangano, chinyengo ndi udani. Iwowo ndi amiseche,
Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
30 osinjirira, odana ndi Mulungu, achipongwe, odzitama ndi odzitukumula. Iwo amapeza njira zochitira zoyipa. Samvera makolo awo,
Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 alibe nzeru, chikhulupiriro, sakhudzidwa mu mtima ndipo ndi ankhanza.
Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
32 Ngakhale kuti amadziwa chiweruzo cholungama cha Mulungu chakuti amene amachita zinthu zotere amayenera imfa, iwo sangopitiriza chabe zimenezi, koma amavomerezanso amene amazichita zimenezi.
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.
