Romans 1
1 Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God's glad tidings,
Polo, mowumbu ya Yesu-Klisto, oyo abengama mpo ete azala ntoma mpe aponama mpo na kosakola Sango Malamu ya Nzambe,
2 (which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings, )
Sango Malamu oyo Nzambe alaka wuta kala na nzela ya basakoli na Ye kati na Makomi ya bule,
3 concerning his Son (come of David's seed according to flesh,
Sango Malamu oyo ezali koloba na tina na Mwana na Ye, oyo kati na bomoto na Ye, abotamaki na libota ya Davidi,
4 marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;
mpe na nzela ya Molimo Mosantu, amonisamaki na nguya nyonso ete azali Mwana na Nzambe, na nzela ya lisekwa na Ye kati na bakufi: Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,
Ezali na nzela na Ye nde nazwaki ngolu ya kozala ntoma mpo na kosala ete na Kombo na Ye, Bapagano batosa Ye na nzela ya kondima.
6 among whom are ye also [the] called of Jesus Christ:
Boye, bino mpe bozali na molongo ya bato yango oyo Yesu-Klisto abenga.
7 to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ.
Epai na bino nyonso oyo, kati na Rome, bozali balingami ya Nzambe mpe bobengama mpo na kozala basantu: Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.
Ya liboso, nazali kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe na ngai, na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, mpo na bino nyonso, pamba te bazali kolobela kondima na bino kati na mokili mobimba.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
Nzambe oyo nasalelaka na motema na ngai mobimba tango nateyaka Sango Malamu ya Mwana na Ye, azali Motatoli na ngai ete natikaka te kotanga kombo na bino
10 always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
kati na mabondeli na ngai tango nyonso; mpe nasengaka na Nzambe ete, na mikolo oyo to na mikolo oyo ekoya, apesa ngai nzela ya koya kotala bino, soki ezali mokano na Ye.
11 For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you;
Pamba te nazali na posa makasi ya komona bino mpo na kopesa bino likabo ya ngolu, likabo ya Molimo, mpo ete bolendisama na kondima na bino
12 that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine.
to mpo ete tolendisana elongo, na nzela ya kondima moko oyo tozali na yango.
13 But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time, ) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also.
Bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba ete nazalaki mbala mingi kosala mabongisi ya koya epai na bino, mpo na kobuka mbuma kati na bino, ndenge nazalaki kosala kati na Bapagano mosusu; kasi kino sik’oyo, bipekiselo mingi ezali kokanga ngai nzela.
14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent:
Nazali na niongo ya Bagreki mpe ya bato oyo bazali Bagreki te, ya bato ya bwanya mpe ya bazoba.
15 so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who [are] in Rome.
Yango wana nazali penza na posa makasi ya koteya Sango Malamu epai na bino oyo bozali na Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God's power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek:
Nazali na soni te mpo na Sango Malamu, pamba te ezali nguya ya Nzambe mpo na lobiko ya moto nyonso oyo andimaka: liboso, ya Moyuda, mpe sima, ya Mogreki.
17 for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.
Pamba te Sango Malamu yango emonisaka biso bosembo ya Nzambe, oyo ezwamaka na nzela ya kondima, wuta na ebandeli kino na suka, kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Moto ya sembo akobika na nzela ya kondima. »
18 For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.
Solo, Nzambe amonisaka kanda na Ye wuta na lola mpo na kopesa etumbu, na lisumu mpe na mabe nyonso ya bato oyo bazipaka bosolo na nzela ya misala na bango ya mabe,
19 Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them,
pamba te makambo oyo bakoki koyeba na tina na Nzambe emonanaka polele kati na bango; Ye moko Nzambe nde alakisa bango yango na polele.
20 — for from [the] world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, — so as to render them inexcusable. (aïdios g126)
Wuta Nzambe akela mokili, makoki na Ye, oyo emonanaka na miso te, lokola nguya na Ye ya seko mpe bonzambe na Ye, emonanaka polele penza, tango bayekolaka yango na nzela ya misala na Ye. Boye, bato bakoki te komilongola na ngambo. (aïdios g126)
21 Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:
Pamba te, atako bayebaki Nzambe, kasi bapesaki Ye te lokumu oyo ekoki na Nzambe mpe bapesaki Ye matondi te, kasi makanisi na bango ekomaki ya bozoba, mpe mitema na bango, oyo ezangaki mayele, etondaki na molili.
22 professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Atako bazalaki komimona bato ya bwanya, kasi bakomaki bazoba.
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.
Na esika ete bakumisa Nzambe oyo akufaka te mpe atonda na nkembo, bakumisaki banzambe ya bikeko lokola bililingi ya bato oyo bakufaka, ya bandeke, ya banyama oyo etambolaka na makolo minei mpe oyo etambolaka na libumu.
24 Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves:
Yango wana, Nzambe akabaki bango kati na baposa mabe ya mitema na bango mpe na misala ya bosoto, mpo ete basambwisa banzoto na bango moko, na nzela ya moko to ya mosusu.
25 who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Basundolaki bosolo ya Nzambe mpo na komipesa na makambo ya lokuta, bapesaki lokumu mpe bagumbamelaki bikelamu, na esika ya Mokeli oyo apesamela nkembo mpo na seko. Amen! (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;
Yango wana, Nzambe asundolaki bango kati na baposa ya soni. Ezala basi na bango, batikaki kosangisa nzoto na mibali mpo na komipesa na bosangisi nzoto oyo esengeli te.
27 and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.
Ndenge moko mpe mpo na mibali: batikaki kosangisa nzoto na basi, batondisamaki na posa ya kosangisa nzoto na baninga na bango mibali; basalaki makambo ya soni, mibali na mibali, mpe bazwaki kati na bango moko lifuti oyo ekokaki na libunga na bango.
28 And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;
Lokola bamonaki ete koyeba Nzambe ezali na tina te, Nzambe akabaki bango na makanisi na bango ya mabe, mpo ete basala makambo oyo ebongi te.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,
Batondaki na lolenge nyonso ya misala ya sembo te, ya makambo mabe, ya lokoso, ya mabe, ya zuwa, ya misala ya koboma bato, ya koswana, ya kokosela baninga makambo mpe ya koyina bato; bakomaki bato na songisongi,
30 back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
na kotiola baninga, banguna ya Nzambe, bato batonda na lolendo, na lofundu, na bilobaloba, na mayele ya kosala mabe, batomboki na miso ya baboti na bango;
31 void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;
bato bazanga mayele, bosembo, bolingo mpe mawa.
32 who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].
Bayebi malamu ekateli ya sembo ya Nzambe ete bato oyo basalaka makambo ya lolenge wana basengeli na kufa, kasi bazali kaka kokoba kosala makambo wana nyonso mpe kondima bato oyo basalaka yango.
