Romans 1

1 Jesus Christ i sal, Sawltak a hi tu in a ki samtuam le Pathian lungdamna thupha atu koituam, keima Paul in,

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

2 Laithiangtho sung ah Ama kamsang te taw in hong kamciam sa,

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

3 A Tapa, i Topa Jesus Christ thu taw kisai in, Ama sia cilesa taw in David suan sung pan piang a hihi;

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

4 Taciang Pathian Tapa a hina sia, vangletna taw ahizong, thianthona thaa taw ahizong, thi na pan thawkikna tungtawn in ahizong, a ki tangko sa a hihi:

who 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,

5 Jesus Christ tungtawn in thuthiamna le Sawltak hina ka sang zo uh hi, banghangziam cile minam theampo sung ah upna thu man na sia Ama min atu a hihi:

through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

6 Tua thu theampo sung pan note zong Jesus Christ in hong sam hi:

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

7 I Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ kungpan thuthiamna le thinnopna sia, Pathian itna le mithiangtho te a kici Rome ah a omte na vekpi tung ah hong om tahen.

to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Na upna uh sia leitung theampo ah ki son ahikom in, note theampo atu in Jesus Christ tungtawn in a masabel in ka Pathian tung ah ka lungdam hi.

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

9 Banghangziam cile ka thungetna theampo ah tatsat ngawl in hong hel tawntung khi hi, ci sia Ama Tapa i lungdamna thupha sung ah ka thaa taw a na ka sepsak Pathian sia ka tetti a hihi;

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you

10 Pathian deina a om le bangbang po ahizong hai ngawl in note kung ah kong pai thei natu in, thu ka ngen tawntung hi.

always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.

11 Banghangziam cile note kong mu nuam mama hi, tabang in thaa letsong te hong pia in, a tawp dong na kip thei natu uh a hihi;

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;

12 Tabang ka ci ciang in, note le keima sia upna tungtawn in khat le khat he ki nep khop thei natu thu a hihi.

that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

13 Suapui te awng, Gentile mite sung bangma in note sung ah zong nga pha ka nei thei natu in, tam veipi note kung ah hong haw tu in ka ngealsa hi napi, ahihang tudong hong haw thei ngawl lai khi hi, ci he ngawl in na om tu uh ka dei bua hi.

Now I do not 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 other non-Jewish people.

14 Keima sia Greek mite le mimawl te ahizong; mipil te le a pil ngawl te tung ah ahizong leiba khi hi.

I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15 Tua ahikom Rome khua ah a om note kung ah zong, ka hi thei za in lungdamna thuhil tu in ka ki nging khol zo hi.

So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 Christ lungdamna thu atu in ka mai a zum bua hi: banghangziam cile hi lungdamna thu sia amasabel in Judah mite tung ah, taciang Greek mite tung ah, a um khatsim ngupkhat natu in Pathian i vangletna a hihi.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

17 Banghangziam cile, a thutang peuma upna taw in nungta tu hi, ci a ki at sa bangma in, tua lungdamna thu sung ah Pathian i thutanna sia upna pan upna ah kilang hi.

For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."

18 Banghangziam cile thuman sia thutan ngawl na taw a len mihing te Pathian nei ngawl nuntak dan le thutan ngawl na taw ki lebul in, Pathian thin-ukna sia van pan in hong kilang hi;

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,

19 Tua ahikom amate in Pathian a heak natu thu sia amate sung ah kilang zo hi; banghangziam cile Pathian in amate tung ah lak zo hi.

because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

20 Banghangziam cile leitung a ki bitphua pan kipan in, mit taw mu thei ngawl Pathian i tawntung vangletna le ama i hi na te sia a vawt nate tungtawn in ki tel thei hi, tua ahikom amate in paulap a nei bua uh hi: (aïdios g126)

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 Banghangziam cile amate in Pathian a heak uh ciang in, Pathian i hi na bang in minthanna pia ngawl uh a, lungdam zong ko ngawl uh hi; ahihang amate ngaisutna te sia man nei ngawl suak siat a, amate mawmawt thinsung te mialcip siat hi.

Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Amate le amate ka pil hi, ci uh hi napi, a mamaw suak siat uh hi,

Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

23 Taciang a lal thei ngawl Pathian i minthanna sia a lal thei mihing lim, vacim te, peangli nei ngamsa te le a bokvak te taw lai uh hi.

and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.

24 Tua ahikom amate pumpi te sia amate le amate thupi kisa ngawl tu in, Pathian in zong amate i thinsung deina tungtawn in a thiangtho ngawl mun ah ap hi:

Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,

25 Amate in Pathian thuman sia leilot thu suaksak uh a, tawntung minthanna bitphuapa Pathian sang in a bitphua sa te bia in paai zaw uh hi. Amen. (aiōn g165)

who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Hi thu hang in Pathian in amate sia maizumhuai cilesa deina ah ap hi; banghangziam cile numei te nangawn amate numei hi nate a ngeina bang in zang nuam ngawl a, numei le numei ki khialpui khawm uh hi:

For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.

27 Tasia bangma in pa te zong a ngeina bang in numei taw omkhop na nusia a, pa le pa ki laklaw ki thangai na sia mei bang in kuang hi; tabang in pa te sia pa te taw maizumhuai na pha ngawl te a vawt uh hu in, na phangawl sep thaman amate tung ah theng hi.

Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

28 Amate in Pathian sia amate heakna sung ah cepte tawntung tu a uk ngawl uh hu in, a ngamtat huai ngawl nate vawt tu in thinsung pha ngawl ah amate ap hi;

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;

29 Amate sia thutan ngawl na taw dim uh a, paktatna, ngitlona, duhopna, deisakna pha ngawl, vang en na taw kidim, tual that, thu ki nial na, ki theam na, sonsiat na; ngual huau ku te,

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

30 Ngual phunsan te, Pathian a ensan te, ngual zawngsak te, mihing ki phasak te, a ki suangtak te, na pha ngawl vawttawm te, nulepa thu ngai ngawl te,

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Tel theina nei ngawl te, thukham paltan te, ngeina bang in a ki tha ngai ngawl te, ki lemna a vawt nuam ngawl te, hesuakna nei ngawl te:

foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 Hibang nate a vawt te sia a thi tu in kilawm hi, ci amate in Pathian thukhenna sia he napi, amate vateak in vawt bek dom ngawl in, a vawt te tung ah zong lungkimpui uh hi.

who, 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.
