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, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God,
2 Kalakala ko, Akunnungu ŵaasalile ŵandu ajiji Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya ŵakulondola ŵao mpela itite pakulembekwa Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu.
which He proclaimed beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures,
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, having been born of the seed of David according to the 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.
having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of 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.
through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name:
6 Ŵanyamwe nli pasikati ja ŵandu wo, ŵankutama ku Loma mmilanjikwe ni Akunnungu mme ŵandu ŵakwe Che Yesu Kilisito.
among whom ye are also 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 the beloved of God who are in Rome, saints having been called. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the 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.
In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout 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 gospel of his Son, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer;
10 moŵa gose pangupopela. Ngwapopela Akunnungu yanonyelaga ambe lipesa lyambone lya kunjimajimila.
praying, if by any means I shall be prospered in 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 long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established;
12 Chingusala, ŵanawose tutusyaneje mitima, ŵanyamwe mulimbisye une mu chikulupi changu ni uneji nanlimbisye ŵanyamwe mu chikulupi chenu.
but this is the consolation among you through faith in one another, both of you and me.
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 frequently I purposed to come to you, and was hindered hitherto, in order that I may have some fruit among you, as well as also among other Gentiles.
14 Pakuŵa ngusachilwa kwalalichila ŵandu wose Ŵagiliki ni ŵangaŵa Ŵagiliki, ni kwalalichila ŵaali ni lunda ni ŵakuloŵela.
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise:
15 Kwaligongo lyo ngulajila kwannope kunnalichila Ngani Jambone ŵanyamwe nombe ŵankutama ku Loma.
so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
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 gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the 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 the righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been 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 the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Pakuŵa yose yaikuntesya Akunnungu amanyiche kukwao, imanyichikwe, ligongo Akunnungu nsyene ailosisye kwa ŵanyawo.
because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God has revealed 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 the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse: (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 did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Akulitendanga ŵa lunda, nambo ali ŵakuloŵela.
Saying that they were 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 invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things.
24 Kwa ligongo lya yeleyo, Akunnungu ŵaalesile mu tama jangalumbana ja mitima jao ni kupanganyichisyana indu ya soni mu iilu yao.
Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among 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 a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: 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.
On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against 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.
likewise also the men, having left the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire towards one another; men with men working out disgrace, and receiving the reward of their error among themselves which it behooved.
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 as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;
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 injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection;
30 ni kunamanilana, ŵakwachima Akunnungu, ŵakutukana ni ŵakulilapa ni ŵakulifuna, ŵakwilana kuitendekanya yangalimate ni ŵangaajitichisya achaŵelesi ŵao.
whisperers, calumniators, haters of God, insulters, proud, arrogant, practitioners of evils, disobedient to parents,
31 Ŵakuloŵela, ŵangakukamula chilanga, ŵangali unonyelo ni nganakola chanasa kwa ŵane.
covenant-breakers, incontinent, without natural affections, 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 rightfulness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but they even delight in those who are doing them.
