< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
Polo kisadi ki Yesu Klisto, wutelo mu ba mvuala ayi wusobolo mu samuna Nsamu Wumboti wu Nzambi.
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
Nsamu wumboti beni wawu kakivanina tsila tona thama mu mimbikudi mu Masonoko Manlongo.
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
Wawu Nsamu beni weta yolukila mambu ma Muanꞌandi, mu kimutu kiandi, wubutuka mu nkuna Davidi.
4 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,
Bosi Yesu Klisto, mu pheve Yinlongo, wubieko Muana Nzambi mu lulendo lu mfulukuluꞌandi mu bafua.
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
Buabu mu diambu diandi, tutambudidi nlemvo ayi kimvuala mu nata mu dizina diandi batu ba makanda moso bawilukila ayi batumamana.
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
Beno mamveno luidi mu dikabu diodi, ayi lutelo kuidi Yesu Klisto.
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ndieti sonika kuidi beno boso badi ku Loma, batu bobo Nzambi kanzolanga ayi beno lutelo mu ba banlongo! Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bibedi kuidi Nzambi Dise dieto ayi kuidi Yesu Klisto Pfumu eto bibanga yeno.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Va theti ndimvutula matondo kuidi Nzambi mu Yesu Klisto mu diambu dieno beno boso bila minu kieno kieti yolokolo mu nza yimvimba.
9 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 always in my prayers,
Bila Nzambi yoyi ndieti sadila, mu ntimꞌama, mu longanga Nsamu Wumboti wu Muanꞌandi, niandi mbangi ama bila wummonanga mu zithangu zioso buevi ndikulutebukilanga moyo mu zitsambulu ziama.
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
Mu ziawu ndieti lombanga mu zithangu zioso, mu kuphana diluaku, mu luzolo luandi mu kuiza kulubumina.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
Bila phuila yiwombo yidi yama mu kulumona muingi ndilutudisila dikaba di kipheve mu diambu luba bakinda.
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
Voti muingi tubombasana va kimosi, beno ayi minu, mu minu kioki tuididi kithuadi.
13 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 rest of the Gentiles.
Zikhomba thidi luzaba ti zikhumbu ziwombo ndibedi bakanga lukanu lukuiza lutadi vayi nate buabu ndibeki ko nzila, mu diambu ndibaka bu bakila ndambu yi mimbutu mu beno banga buididi mu makanda mankaka.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Bila pholo yinneni ndidi kuidi basi Ngelese ayi kuidi batu bakambulu basi Ngelese; kuidi batu banduenga ayi batu bakambulu diela.
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Diawu diodi ndidi phuila mu longa Nsamu Wumboti kuidi beno luidi ku Loma.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
Bila ndimonanga tsoni ko mu diambu di Nsamu Wumboti; wawu widi lulendo lu Nzambi mu diambu di phulusu yi batu boso beti wilukila: tonina theti kuidi Bayuda bosi kuidi Bapakanu.
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
Nsamu beni wumboti wawu weta monisa buevi buididi busonga bu Nzambi: bobo bawilukila; niandi wuba kitula basonga mu busonga bobo bu ntotukilanga mu, minu mu diambu di minu banga bu disonimina mu minkanda: Mu minu kaka mutu wu busonga kela zingilanga.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Zinganzi zi Nzambi zieti monikanga, tona ku diyilu ayi zimbuanga mu mavanga mambimbi mamvanganga batu bobo kaba kinzikanga Nzambi ko ayi bobo bakambulu basonga. Kambu kuawu ku busonga kulembo fietikisa kiedika.
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
Bila mambu momo balenda zaba mu diambu di Nzambi mazabikini kuidi bawu, ayi niandi veka Nzambi wuba zabikisa mambu beni.
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting (aïdios ) power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
Bila tona nza yivangulu; khadulu yi Nzambi yoyi kayimonikanga ko: lulendo luandi lukalumani ayi kinzambi kiandi; biawu bieti monika bumboti mu nzila yi bima bioso biobi kavanga; mu diambu babika baka phengomokono. (aïdios )
21 Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, and did not give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
Bila, ka diambu ko, bazaba Nzambi vayi bamanga kuawu kunkembisa banga Nzambi ayi basia kumvutudila matondo ko vayi mayindu mawu makituka maphamba ayi tombi kiwala mu mintima miawu mikambu diela.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Bu bakiniemisa ti bawu batu ba diela, bakituka malawu
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
ayi baviakisa nkembo wu Nzambi yikayifuanga ko mu zimfikulazi batu bobo bamfuanga, mu zimfikula zi zinuni, zi bibulu ayi mu zimfikula zi bibulu biobi bindiatilanga mu vumu.
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
Mu diambu di zinzinunu zi mintima miawu, Nzambi wuba yekula mu kambu ku vedila muingi bawu veka baki bivisa mu zinitu ziawu.
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for the ages (aiōn ). Amen.
Bawu baviakisa luvunu va buangu ki kiedika ki Nzambi; basambila ayi basadila vangu va buangu ki mvangi, mutu wowo wusakumunu mu zikhama zi mimvu. Amen. (aiōn )
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
Diawu Nzambi kaba yekudila mu zitsatu zitsoni: bila baketobawu baviakisa tsadulu yi kimutu yi zinitu ziawu mu tsadulu yikambulu yi kimutu.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
Babakala, mamvawu bobuawu; va buangu kibundananga ayi baketo; bakiyekula mu zinzinunu ziawu mu bawu na bawu. Bavanga matsoni, babundana babakala na babakala, batambula mfutuwufueni mu nzimbala yawu.
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Sumbu bamona ti kadi kuandi mfunu mu zaba Nzambi, diawu Nzambi kaba yekudila mu mayindu mawu ma buvungisi mu diambu bavanga mambu makambulu fuana.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
Bu baba bawala mu kambu ku busonga ayi mu mambimbi, mu bakanga zimbongo mu luvunu, mu mayuya; bawu badi batu bawedi kikhenene, zitsatu zi vonda; zi zonza, zi vuna, zi mavanga mambimbi.
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Baba batu bamfundananga batu, bantubidilanga badiawu, badi bambeni zi Nzambi, bankua bifingu, bankua luniemo ayi lunangu, bakukiniemisanga; minyindudi mi mambu ma mambimbi; batumukinanga bambuta ziawu ko.
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Basi kadi diela ko, batungunanga zitsila ziawu ko, basi ko luzolo kuidi badiawu ayi bamonanga batu kiadi ko.
32 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.
Bazebi bumboti nzengolo yisonga yi Nzambi yintuba ti: batu bamvanganga mambu mambimbi ma phila yayi bafueni mu vondo. Ka diambu ko buawu bobo beti vanga vayi beti mona khini mu diambu di batu bobo bamvanganga mawu.
