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 Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,

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

separated unto the gospel of God, (which He had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures) concerning his Son,

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

who was of the seed 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:

but powerfully declared to be the Son of God, according to the spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead, even 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:

by whom we have received grace and apostleship to preach the obedience of faith for his name's sake, to all nations;

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

among whom are ye also the called of 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 that are in Rome beloved of God, called and holy: grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from 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.

And first I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is celebrated through 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 with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

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.

intreating if I may now at length have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come unto 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, that you may be established:

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 to say, that being among you we may be comforted together by the faith of each, 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.

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

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

For I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the learned and the unlearned:

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.

therefore am I ready, as much as in me lies, to preach the gospel to you also that are at 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 gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, both Jew and 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 the righteousness of God is therein revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall 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 men, who withhold the truth in 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.

for what is to be known of God is manifest among them, for God hath manifested 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)

Inasmuch as from the first creation of the world, the invisible things of Him, even his eternal power and Godhead, are, if attended to, clearly seen in his works: (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.

so that they are inexcusable; because having thus known God they glorified Him not as God, neither were they thankful; but were infatuated by their own reasonings, and their heart being void of understanding was darkened.

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

Pretending 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 changed the glory of the incorruptible God for an image like to corruptible man, and birds, and beasts, and reptiles.

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:

Wherefore God also gave them up to impurity, in the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own 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 changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature instead of the Creator, who is blessed for ever. 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:

Therefore God gave them up to infamous passions: for even their women changed the natural use into that which is unnatural,

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.

and the men likewise, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust to one another, men with men committing shame, and receiving in themselves the recompence of their error which they deserved.

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;

And as they were not careful to acknowledge God, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind to do things that were not fit to be done:

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 injustice, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malignity; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and every evil habit; whisperers,

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, injurious, haughty, proud, inventers of mischief, undutiful to parents, void of understanding,

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:

covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, and 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 though they knew the just judgement of God, (that they who commit such practises are worthy of death) yet not only do these very things, but also countenance and encourage others in the practice of them.
