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, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God,
2 Kalakala ko, Akunnungu ŵaasalile ŵandu ajiji Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya ŵakulondola ŵao mpela itite pakulembekwa Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu.
which He announced before through 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—who has come 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.
who is marked out [as the] Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection from 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.
through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, 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 are also you, 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 who are in Rome, beloved of God, called holy ones: Grace to you and peace 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.
First, indeed, 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 good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
10 moŵa gose pangupopela. Ngwapopela Akunnungu yanonyelaga ambe lipesa lyambone lya kunjimajimila.
always in my prayers imploring, if by any means now at length I will have a prosperous journey, 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 long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established;
12 Chingusala, ŵanawose tutusyaneje mitima, ŵanyamwe mulimbisye une mu chikulupi changu ni uneji nanlimbisye ŵanyamwe mu chikulupi chenu.
and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through faith in one another, 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.
And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you—and was hindered until the present time—that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.
14 Pakuŵa ngusachilwa kwalalichila ŵandu wose Ŵagiliki ni ŵangaŵa Ŵagiliki, ni kwalalichila ŵaali ni lunda ni ŵakuloŵela.
Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,
15 Kwaligongo lyo ngulajila kwannope kunnalichila Ngani Jambone ŵanyamwe nombe ŵankutama ku Loma.
so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,
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 good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who is believing, 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 the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it has been written: “And the righteous one will 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 on all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down 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 revealed among them, for God 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, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being 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, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,
22 Akulitendanga ŵa lunda, nambo ali ŵakuloŵela.
professing to be wise, they were made 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 of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.
24 Kwa ligongo lya yeleyo, Akunnungu ŵaalesile mu tama jangalumbana ja mitima jao ni kupanganyichisyana indu ya soni mu iilu yao.
For this reason also God gave them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, 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 the lie, and honored and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all ages. 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.
Because of this God gave them up to dishonorable affections, for even their females changed the natural use into that 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.
and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, burned in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the repayment of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.
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 approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;
29 Ŵandu ŵa aguumbele ugongomalo wose, ungalumbana ni lipamo ni wiu ni uulasi ni unami ni ngomo ni kulambusya. Ni kunong'ona,
having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, 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.
evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Ŵakuloŵela, ŵangakukamula chilanga, ŵangali unonyelo ni nganakola chanasa kwa ŵane.
unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, 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 the righteous judgment of God having known—that those practicing such things are worthy of death—not only do them, but also have delight with those practicing them.
