< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
Nne Pauli ntumwa jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, njemilwe na a Nnungu kubha ntume jwa lunguya Ngani ja Mmbone.
2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
Jene Ngani ja Mmboneji, jishinkulajilwa na a Nnungu bhukala, kupitila ashinkulondola bhabho Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo.
3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
Ngani ja Bhana bhabho, Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhabhelekwe shigundu nnukolo lwa a Daudi,
4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
na Mmbumu ya ukonjelo gwabho bhashinkuagulwa kubha Mwana jwa a Nnungu, kwa kuyuka kwabho bhakaweje, yani a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
5 Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
Kupitila kwa bhenebho, uwe tushipegwa nema na utume, nkupinga bhandu bha ilambo yowe twaalongoyanje nkukulupalila na nkukunda lina lyabho kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo gwabho.
6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
Na mmanganyanji nneila peila, nninginji munkumbi gwa bhashemilwenje na a Yeshu Kilishitu, kubha bhandunji bhabho.
7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ngunakunnjandishilanga mmowe nninginji ku Loma, nkupingwangwa na a Nnungu na nshemilwenje mmanganje bha ukonjelo. Ngunakunnjujilanga nema na ulele, kwa Atati a Nnungu na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.
Ngunatandubha kwa kwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu, kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa ligongo lyenunji mmowe, pabha ngulupai yenunji inalunguywa nshilambolyo.
9 God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
A Nnungu bhungwatumishila kwa ntima gwangu gowe, nkulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone ja Bhana bhabho, ni bhakong'ondela bhangu shinguti kunkumbushilanga mobha gowe.
10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.
Ngunatenda nneyo mobha gowe, nkujuga Nnungu kwangu kuti, a Nnungu bhapingaga bhambe malanga, nyiye kunngwenunji agano mobha gano.
11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
Pabha ngunalokolila kwa kaje kummonanga, nimpanganje shiukilo sha mmbumu, nkupinga nshimilikwanje.
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
Kwa nneyo shitutagane ntima, kila mundu kwa ngulupai jika mwine, ngulupai jenu mmanganyanji, na ngulupai jangu nne.
13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
Ashaalongo ajangunji ngunapinga mmumanyanje kuti, papagwinji nashinkutumbilila kunng'owelanga, ikabheje mpaka nnaino a Nnungu bhashing'ibhilila. Pungupinga na kweneko naapatanje bhandunji bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu Kilishitu, malinga shinaapatilenje mwiilambo ili nngabha ya Bhayaudi.
14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
Njikola ligambo muntima kwa ligongo lya Bhayunani na bhangalinji Bhayunani. Njikola ligambo ku bhakwetenje lunda na bhangalinji lunda.
15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
Kwa nneyo nne njiengwa kulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, nkali kungwenunji nninginji ku Loma.
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
Nne ngakujibhonela oni Ngani ja Mmbone, pabha jenejo, ni mashili ga a Nnungu gapeleshela ntapulo kubhandu bhowe bhaakulupalilanga, kutandubhila ku Bhayaudi na mpaka ku Bhagiliki.
17 For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
Pabha Ngani ja Mmbone jinalanguya a Nnungu shibhakuti kwaapanganga bhandunji aki. Lyeneli linatendeka kaje kwa ngulupai, malinga shiishite jandikwa, “Akwete aki shaatame kwa ngulupai.”
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
Kukoposhela kunnungu, a Nnungu bhashilangula nnjimwa jabho ku bhandunji bhakakwaakagulanga a Nnungu, bhaakananga ya kweli kwa itendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone.
19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
Pabha indu yowe imanyika kuti ya a Nnungu bhaimanyinji, pabha bhayene a Nnungu bhalangwiye indu yabho.
20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. (aïdios )
Indu yaishiywe kuumila bhukala gwa panganywa shilambolyo, nnaino inabhoneka nimanyika, yani liengo lyabho na mashili gabho ga pitipiti na Unnungu gwabho, kupinga bhanakolanje sha bheleketa! (aïdios )
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
Nkali bhakaamanyanjeje a Nnungu, bhangaakuyanga na wala kwaatendela eja, malinga shiipinjikwa, ikabheje ng'aniyo yabhonji ishipuganyika, na mitima jabhonji jangali lunda jishikwaabhikanga nnubhindu.
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,
Bhanakwitembanga kuti bhashikolanga lunda, mbena bhangumba.
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
Bhaleshilenje kwaatindibhalila a Nnungu bha ukonjelo na bha pitipiti, nikuitindibhalila yanamu ili malinga bhandu bhaawanganga, eu mbuti ijuni, eu bhannyama, na bhaatambalanga pai.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, a Nnungu gubhaaleshilenje bhakagulanje ilokoli ya nyata ya mmitima jabhonji, na tendelana indu ya nyata nkulabhalabha, nikwiitokomaya iilu yabhonji.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn )
Bhanatindiganyanga indu ya kweli ya a Nnungu nkupinga bhakagulanje ya unami. Bhalitindibhalilanga shiumbe, kuleka kwaatindibhalila bhayene Ashipanganya, bhapinjikwa lumbililwa pitipiti! Amina. (aiōn )
26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Kwa nneyo, a Nnungu bhashikwalekanga bhanaishimiyananje nikagulila ilokoli ya nyata. Nkali bhanabhakongwe, bhashilekanga itendi ya shibhelekwe ya shiilu shabhonji, nitenda sha munape.
27 Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Nneyo peyo, na bhanabhalume gubhaleshilenje kwaalokolilanga ashaakongo bhabhonji, nilokolilana ashaayenenji. Bhanabhalume gubhatendilenje indu ya nyata, gubhaishemelenje ukumu ashaayenenji, kwa ligongo lya itendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone.
28 Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
Malinga shibhakanilenje kubha na a Nnungu nng'aniyo yabhonji yangali ya mmbone, a Nnungu gubhaaleshilenje bhaikagulanje ng'aniyo yabhonji, bhatendanje yangali ya mmbone.
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
Bhashigumbalilwanga na kila gwangali gwa mmbone, kukwetela, na joloka, na lupimililo, na bhulaga, na mipwai, na unami, na ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone, na bha lung'wenyi.
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
Kabhili, bhaalambililanga na bhakwaashimanga a Nnungu, na bhakwetenje nngomo, na bhakwetenje mbwinya na kwiipuna, bhaakumbuyanga itendi ya ambi ya nyata, na bhakakwaapilikanishiyanga bhaakwetenje.
31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
Na bhene bhangalinji lunda, na bhakaajalinji malagano, na bhakakwaapinganga ashaalongo ajabhonji, wala bhangalinginji shiya.
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
Bhalikumumanyanga kuti shalia ja a Nnungu jinaataya kuti, bhandunji bhatendanga nneyo bhanapinjikwanga kuwa. Nkali nneyo, nngabha bhanatendanga genego ashayenenjipe, ikabheje bhene bhatendanga yeneyo bhala bhanakwaalumbililanga.
