Ŵaloma 1
1 Une che Paolo, jwakutumichila ju Che Yesu Kilisito, nguchilemba chikalata chi. Akunnungu amilasile me nduna ni asagwile naalalichile ŵandu Ngani jao Jambone.
Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God's glad tidings,
2 Kalakala ko, Akunnungu ŵaasalile ŵandu ajiji Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya ŵakulondola ŵao mpela itite pakulembekwa Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu.
(which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings, )
3 Ngani Jambone ji jikungamba Mwana jwa Akunnungu, Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Jwati nkati undu wakwe ŵapagwile mu lukosyo lwa mwenye che Daudi.
concerning his Son (come of David's seed according to flesh,
4 Nambo nkati umi wao wa chimbumu, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵalosisye kwa litala lya ukombole wakwe kuti Mwana jwa Akunnungu kwa kusyuka kwakwe yaani Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu.
marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;
5 Kwa litala lyakwe mbegwile upile wa kuŵa nduna kuti kwa ligongo lya Kilisito nalongosye ŵandu ŵa ngosyo syose, akulupilile ni kuitichisya.
by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,
6 Ŵanyamwe nli pasikati ja ŵandu wo, ŵankutama ku Loma mmilanjikwe ni Akunnungu mme ŵandu ŵakwe Che Yesu Kilisito.
among whom are ye also [the] called of Jesus Christ:
7 Nipele, une che Paolo ngunlembela ŵanyamwe wose ŵankunonyelwa ni Akunnungu ŵankutamanga ku Loma, ummilanjikwe mme ŵandu wakwe. Ngunsachila upile ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Ikanaŵe yaili yose, ngwatogolela Akunnungu ŵangu kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito kwa ligongo lya ŵanyamwe wose, pakuŵa chikulupi chenu chikupikanika ku chilambo kose.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.
9 Akunnungu ungwatumichila ni ntima wangu wose, nkulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Mwanagwao, ali jwaumboni jwangu kuti ngunkumbuchila ŵanyamwe,
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
10 moŵa gose pangupopela. Ngwapopela Akunnungu yanonyelaga ambe lipesa lyambone lya kunjimajimila.
always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
11 Pakuŵa sachile kwannope kummona ŵanyamwe, kuti ngamulangane ni ŵanyamwe mu ntuuka ungupegwa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, kuti mme ŵalimbangene.
For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you;
12 Chingusala, ŵanawose tutusyaneje mitima, ŵanyamwe mulimbisye une mu chikulupi changu ni uneji nanlimbisye ŵanyamwe mu chikulupi chenu.
that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine.
13 Achalongo achinjangu, ngusaka mmanyilile kuti kakajinji nasakaga iche kukwenu, nambo nekasiswe mpaka sambano. Nasachile kwika kuti ngombole kunkamuchisya mwanya nlimbangane mu chikulupi, mpela indite pakwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kulimbangana mu chikulupi.
But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time, ) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also.
14 Pakuŵa ngusachilwa kwalalichila ŵandu wose Ŵagiliki ni ŵangaŵa Ŵagiliki, ni kwalalichila ŵaali ni lunda ni ŵakuloŵela.
I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent:
15 Kwaligongo lyo ngulajila kwannope kunnalichila Ngani Jambone ŵanyamwe nombe ŵankutama ku Loma.
so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who [are] in Rome.
16 Ngangujikolela soni Ngani Jambone, pakuŵa jikwete machili ga Akunnungu gakunkulupusya kila mundu jwakukulupilila, kutandila kwa Ŵayahudi ni sooni kwa ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God's power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek:
17 Pakuŵa Ngani Jambone jikulosya yatite Akunnungu pakwatenda ŵandu kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao. Kwa litala lya chikulupi, chitandile kundanda mpaka kumbesi. Mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Mundu jwatendekwe jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu chatame kwa chikulupi.”
for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.
18 Kutyochela kwinani Akunnungu alosisye uchimwa wao kwa litala lya sambi syose ni kwa litala lya ugongomalo wose wa aŵala ŵandu ŵakuuliŵatila usyene ukamanyika kwa litala lya ugongomalo wao.
For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.
19 Pakuŵa yose yaikuntesya Akunnungu amanyiche kukwao, imanyichikwe, ligongo Akunnungu nsyene ailosisye kwa ŵanyawo.
Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them,
20 Chitandile Akunnungu paŵagumbile chilambo, ukombole wao wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni Unungu wao, ikuwoneka pangasisika namuno ngaikuoneka ni meeso. Ŵandu akukombola kuumanyilila kwa indu yagumbile. Kwapele ŵandu ngakombola kulichenjela kwa yaili yose. (aïdios g126)
— for from [the] world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, — so as to render them inexcusable. (aïdios g126)
21 Namuno akumanyililanga kuti Akunnungu apali, nambo ngakunkusya atamuno kuntogolela yakuti pakuŵajilwa, nambo ng'anisyo syao sili syangalimate ni mitima jao jitajikwe chipi.
Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:
22 Akulitendanga ŵa lunda, nambo ali ŵakuloŵela.
professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 Alesile kwapopelela Akunnungu ŵangakuwa, nambo akwipopela inyago yaikulandana ni mundu jwakwasika, chisau inyama pane ijuni pane inyama yaikukwaŵa.
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.
24 Kwa ligongo lya yeleyo, Akunnungu ŵaalesile mu tama jangalumbana ja mitima jao ni kupanganyichisyana indu ya soni mu iilu yao.
Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves:
25 Akuutindanya usyene wa Akunnungu kwa unami, akuipopelela ni kuitumichila indu yepanganyikwe ni Akunnungu ni kwaleka Akunnungu ŵaaipanganyisye, ŵakusachilwa kulapikwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (aiōn g165)
who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Kwa ligongo lyo Akunnungu ŵaalesile akuyanje tama syao sya soni. Namose achakongwe ŵalesile kugonana ni achalume yaikuti pakusachilwa, ŵagonanaga ni achakongwe achinjao.
For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;
27 Achalume nombe iyoyo peyo akulekanga kugonana ni achakongwe yaikuti pakusachilwa, ŵakolelene mchesele jwannume ni jwannume. Akupanganyichisyana ipanganyo ya soni achalume kwa achalume, kwayele akuliichisya kwamukwa kwa ugongomalo wao wautesile.
and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.
28 Pakuŵa ŵandu wo ŵakanile kuuŵika mu ng'anisyo usyene wa kwamanyilila Akunnungu, nombe Akunnungu ŵaalesile akuyanje ng'anisyo syao syangalumbana, ŵaipanganyisye aila yekanye kuipanganya.
And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;
29 Ŵandu ŵa aguumbele ugongomalo wose, ungalumbana ni lipamo ni wiu ni uulasi ni unami ni ngomo ni kulambusya. Ni kunong'ona,
being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,
30 ni kunamanilana, ŵakwachima Akunnungu, ŵakutukana ni ŵakulilapa ni ŵakulifuna, ŵakwilana kuitendekanya yangalimate ni ŵangaajitichisya achaŵelesi ŵao.
back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Ŵakuloŵela, ŵangakukamula chilanga, ŵangali unonyelo ni nganakola chanasa kwa ŵane.
void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;
32 Ŵakumanyilila kuti malajisyo ga Akunnungu gakuti ŵakugapanganya gelego akuŵajilwa kuwa. Natamuno yeleyo akwendelechela ngaŵa kugapanganya pe nambo akwilana ni aŵala ŵakugapanganya gelego.
who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].
