Jo-Rumi 1

1 An Paulo, misumba Yesu Kristo, mane oluongi mondo obed jaote, kendo nowala mondo ayal Injili mar Nyasaye.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

2 Injilini nosingo chon gi dho jonabi e Muma Maler;

(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )

3 kowuoyo kuom Wuode, ma en Yesu Kristo Ruodhwa ma en nyakwar Daudi kuom ringruok.

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4 To kuom Roho Maler nonyis ratiro ni en Wuod Nyasaye, nikech teko mane ochierego koa kuom joma otho, ma en Yesu Kristo Ruodhwa.

And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5 Kuome kendo e nyinge ema waseyudoe ngʼwono gi teko mar bedo joote, mondo wami ogendini duto oyie kuome kendo oluore.

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

6 To un bende un e kanyakla achiel gi jogo moseluongi mondo ubed jo-Yesu Kristo.

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

7 Ni ji duto man Rumi, ma Nyasaye ohero kendo oluongo mondo obed jomaler: Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruoth Yesu Kristo obed kodu.

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Mokwongo, adwokone Nyasacha erokamano, kuom Yesu Kristo nikech un duto, nimar yie maru landore e pinje duto.

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

9 Nyasaye ma atiyone gi chunya duto, ka alando Injili mar Wuode, en janenona kaka asiko aparou e lamona kinde duto

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

10 kendo alamo ni ka Nyasaye oyie to mondo ayud thuolo mar biro iru.

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

11 Agombo nenou ahinya mondo apognue mich moko mag chuny mondo ategugo,

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

12 tiende ni, mondo un kod an wajiwre ngʼato gi ngʼato e yie marwa, ka ajiwou to un bende ujiwa.

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

13 Jowetena, ok adwar ni ubed kukia, ni asedwaro kuom ndalo mathoth mondo abi iru, to timo kamano osetama nyaka kawuononi, mondo an bende ati tich maber e dieru mana kaka asetimo e dier joma ok jo-Yahudi.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14 An jagop jo-Yunani gi joma ok jo-Yunani, kendo mar joma riek kod joma ofuwo.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

15 Mano emomiyo aketo chunya ni nyaka un bende ayalnu Injili, un ma un Rumi.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 Aonge wichkuot kuom Injilini, nikech en e teko mar Nyasaye makelo ni ngʼato angʼata moyie warruok, mokwongo ni jo-Yahudi, eka bangʼe ni joma ok jo-Yahudi bende.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 Nikech kuom Injilino ema Nyasaye ketoe dhano kare kuom yie kende ma ok omedie gimoro machielo, mana kaka ondiki niya, “Ngʼat makare nobed mangima kuom yie.”

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 Mirimb Nyasaye koro fwenyore koa e polo kuom ji duto motamore lame, kendo matimo richo ka gigengʼo adiera gi timbegi maricho.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Nikech gima dhano nyalo ngʼeyo kuom Nyasaye oyangorenigi maler, nikech Nyasaye oseelenigi.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.

20 Nyaka aa chakruok mar piny, gik ma ok ne mag Nyasaye, kaka tekone mochwere gi kite, osenenore malongʼo ka gifwenyore e gik mosechweyo, mondo omi dhano kik wuondre ni kiagi. (aïdios g126)

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)

21 Kata obedo ni negingʼeyo Nyasaye kamano, to ne ok gimiye duongʼ kaka Nyasaye, kendo ne ok gidwokone erokamano, to pachgi nobedo manono kendo chunygi mofuyo nodinore.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Kata obedo ni negiwacho ni giriek, to negibedo joma ofuwo,

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 kendo negiloko duongʼ mar Nyasaye ma ok tho e kido machalo gi dhano matho, gi winy, gi le gi gik mamol.

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Mano emomiyo Nyasaye nojwangʼogi e paro modwanyore ma chunygi ne gombo timo, ka giketho dendgi gi kit chode duto e kindgi ngʼato gi ngʼato.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Negiloko adiera mar Nyasaye odoko miriambo kendo negilamo ka gitiyo ni gik mochwe kar tiyo ni Nyasaye ma Jachwech, mipako nyaka chiengʼ Amin. (aiōn g165)

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Kuom mano, Nyasaye nojwangʼogi moweyogi e gombo maricho makelo wichkuot. Mondegi noweyo riwore gi chwogi e yo mowinjore, to negichako riwore gi mon wetegi.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 Chwo bende noluwo mana yo machalre; kar riwruok gi mon e yo mowinjore, to dendgi noowore gi gombo chwo wetegi. Chwo notimo timbe dwanyruok gi chwo wetegi, kendo timgino nomiyo giyudo kum e dendgi giwegi mowinjore gi kethogino.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 To bende, kaka negiparo ni ngʼeyo Nyasaye ok lich, Nyasaye nojwangʼogi mondo gidhi adhiya nyime ka pachgi obam, mondo gitim, gik ma ok onego otim.

And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Gipongʼ gi kit timbe mamono duto, gi richo, gi wuoro kod timbe mobam. Bende gipongʼ gi ich lit, gi nek, gi dhawo, gi wuond kod himruok. Gin jokuoth,

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 joma ketho nying ji, joma ochayo Nyasaye, jokwinyo, joma wigi tek, kendo josunga, jogo mapile fwenyo yore manyien mag timo richo; kendo ok giwinj jonywolgi;

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 gionge paro, gionge yie, gionge hera, kendo gionge kech.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Kata obedo ni gingʼeyo chik makare mar Nyasaye ni joma timo gik ma kamago owinjore gi tho, to gidhiyo adhiya nyime gi timogi, kendo bende gipwoyo joma timogi.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
