Ba Loma 1
1 Pawulo, mulanda waJesu Kkilisito, wakayitwa kuti abe mu positoli, alimwi wakasalilwa kukuchita mulimu waLeza.
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
2 Eli ndilyo vangeli ndyakasyomezya chiindi kwiinda mubasinsimi bakwe mumalembe aasalala.
which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
3 Zili aatala aMwana wakwe, wakazyalwa kuzwa kulunyungu lwaDeviti mukwiinda munyama.
concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 Akubuka kuzwa kubafu, wakaambwa kuti Mwana waLeza uli a manguzu mapati kwiinda muMuya wa busalali - Jesu Kkilisito Mwami wesu.
who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 Kwiinda mulinguwe twakatambula luzyalo abutumwe akaambo kakuswiilila chalusyomo aakati kamanyika woonse, kuchitila zina lyakwe.
through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
6 Aakati kawaaya manyika, alubo mwakayitwa kuti muli bakuli Jesu Kkilisito.
among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
7 Oolu lugwalo ndulwabaabo bali muLoma, bayandwi baLeza, bayitwa kuti bantu basalala. Luzyalo alube kulindinywe, alimwi luumuno luzwa kuli Leza Taata wesu alimwi Mwami Jesu Kkilisito.
to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Lutanzi, ndilumba Leza wangu kwiinda muli Jesu Kkilisito akaambo kenu moonse, akuti lusyomo lwenu lwaambilizigwa munyika yoonse.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
9 Leza ngu kamboni wangu, ngundibelekela mumuya wangu kumakani mabotu aMwana wakwe, aawo mpeyinkila kunembo nkewamba atala andinywe.
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you
10 Ndilakumbila lyoonse munkombyo zyangu kuti mubunini ndikonzye kuzwidilila lino akuyanda kwaLeza mukuza kulindinywe.
always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.
11 Nkaambo ndilayandisya kumubona, kuti ndimupe zimwi zilongezyo zyaMuya, kuti ndikonzye kumusimisya.
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;
12 Nkokuti, ndilayanda kusungwazigwa akanu kenu, kwiinda mulusyomo lwawumwi awumwi, lwangu alimwi alwangu.
that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
13 Lino nsiyadi pe kuti mube batazi, bakwesu, kuti kiingi ndakalikuyanda kusika kulindinywe, pele ndakalikukachisigwa kusila lino. Ndakali kuyanda echi kuti nkonzye kuba amuchelo akati kenu alubo mbuli akati kabaMaasi.
Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.
14 Ndimesichikwelete kubili kubaGiliki alimwi akubazwakule, koonse kubasongo alimwi akubafubafuba.
I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 Nkaambo, mbuli ndime, ndililibambilide kwaambawula ivangeli alubo kulindinywe nimuli kuLoma.
So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
16 Nkaambo nsiwusigwi nsoni avangeli, nkaambo manguzu aLeza kulufutuko kuli woonse uusyoma, kubaJuda alimwi kuba Giliki.
For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
17 Mukuti mulindilyo bululami bwaLeza bwayubununwa kuzwa kulusyomo kuya kulusyomo, mbuli mbukwakalembwa, “Basalali bayoopona chalusyomo.”
For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."
18 Nkaambo mukali bwaLeza bwayubununwa kuzwa kujulu aatala abusofwazi alimwi akutalulama kwabantu, aabo babwedezya musule isimpe akaambo kakutalulama.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
19 Ezi nkukuti eecho chizibinkene aatala aLeza chilaboneka kulimbabo. Nkaambo Leza wabamunikila.
because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 Nkaambo bube bwakwe butaboneki bwakatondeezegwa aantanganan kuzwa kumatalikilo akulengwa zintu. Bube oobu ninguzu zyakwe zitamani alimwi abunajulu. Akaambo kaako, aaba bantu tabachikwe ntami pe. (aïdios g126)
For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 Ezi nkukuti, nikuba bakalizi aatala aLeza, tebakamulemya mbuli Leza, nikuba kumupa bulumbu. Pesi, baka bafubafuba mumiyeeyo yabo, alimwi myoyo yabo itamvwisisisyi yakasizigwa.
Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Bakali kulyaamba kuti bali abusongo, pele bakaba bafubafuba.
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 Bakachinchanisya bulemu bwaLeza uutanyonyooki kucikkozyanyo chachitombe chamuntu uunyonyoka, cha bayuni, chabanyama bali amawulu one, alimwi chazintu ziyavula.
and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
24 Akaako Leza wakabaaba kunkosya yamyoyo yabo yabusofwazi, kuti mibili yabo ikabule kulemekwa aakati kabo.
Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,
25 Mbimbabo bakachinchaanya kasimpe kaLeza kumabejo, alimwi bakakomba akulemya zilengwa kwiinda Mulengi, uyolumbayizigwa chakutamana. Amen. (aiōn g165)
who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Akaambo kacheechi, Leza wakabapeda kumpeekezyo zitakwe bulemu, nkaambo banakazi babo bakachinchanya bubelesi bwabo mbubakalengwa aambubo kulizeezyo ziteendelani aabukkale.
For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.
27 Mbuli munzila eeyi, baalumi abalabo bakasiya nzibakeelede kuchita abanakazi alimwi baba eenkosya yakuyanda umwi awumwi. Aaba mbaalumi bakachita a baalumi chiteelede pe, alimwi bakatambula mulilwabo lubeta lweendelana akutabotya kwabo.
Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
28 Nkaambo tebakayeeya kubika Leza mukubonesya kwabo, wakabapa muzezo utali kabotu, kuchitila mbabo kuti bachite ezyo zintu zitali kabotu pe.
Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;
29 Bakazuzigwa akutalulama koonse, busofwazi, butangazi, alimwi a mabejo. Balizwide bbivwe, bujayi, lukajyanyo, lweeno, alimwi amiyeyo mibi.
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 Mbavwiyi, mbaasibupampu bwakubba, alimwi mbaasimusula-Leza. Balalupyopyongano, mbaachuundwe, alimwi balalisumpula. Mbaasimubamba zibi, alimwi tabaswiilili bazyali babo.
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Tabakwe kumvwisya; tabasyomekede pe, batamvwidi luzyalo alimwi batakwe luse
foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 Balamvwisya milawu yaLeza, kuti aabo bachita zintu ziliboobu baleelede kufwa. Pele pe pe kuti balachita biyo zintu ezi, balabotelwa abaabo bamwi bazichita
who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
