< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God's glad tidings,
Paulu, ìránṣẹ́ Jesu Kristi, ẹni tí a ti pè láti jẹ́ aposteli, tí a sì ti yà sọ́tọ̀ láti wàásù ìyìnrere Ọlọ́run,
2 (which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings, )
ìyìnrere tí ó ti ṣe ìlérí tẹ́lẹ̀ rí láti ẹnu àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀ nínú Ìwé Mímọ́.
3 concerning his Son (come of David's seed according to flesh,
Ní ti Ọmọ rẹ̀, ẹni tí a bí láti inú irú-ọmọ Dafidi nípa ti ara,
4 marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;
ẹni tí a pinnu rẹ̀ láti jẹ́ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run nínú agbára gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ẹ̀mí ìwà mímọ́, nípa àjíǹde kúrò nínú òkú, àní Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa.
5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,
Láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí àwa rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti jíjẹ́ aposteli gbà, fún ìgbọ́ràn ìgbàgbọ́ láàrín gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, nítorí orúkọ rẹ̀.
6 among whom are ye also [the] called of Jesus Christ:
Ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú si wa lára àwọn tí a pè sọ́dọ̀ Jesu Kristi.
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.
Sí gbogbo àwọn àyànfẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí ó wà ní Romu tí a ti pè láti jẹ́ ènìyàn mímọ́: Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti àlàáfíà fún yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wa àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.
Ní àkọ́kọ́, mo dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run nípasẹ̀ Jesu Kristi fún gbogbo yín, nítorí a ń ròyìn ìgbàgbọ́ yin káàkiri gbogbo ayé.
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,
Ọlọ́run ṣá à ni ẹlẹ́rìí mi, ẹni tí èmí ń fi gbogbo ẹ̀mí mi sìn nínú ìyìnrere Ọmọ rẹ̀, bí ó ti ṣe pé ní àìsimi ni èmí ń rántí yín nígbà gbogbo nínú àdúrà mi
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.
nínú àdúrà mi ìgbà gbogbo; mo tún ń gbàdúrà wí pé nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run kí ọ̀nà ó ṣí fún mi láti wá sọ́dọ̀ yín.
11 For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you;
Nítorí èmi ń fẹ́ gidigidi láti tọ̀ yín wá, kí èmi lè fún yín ní ẹ̀bùn ẹ̀mí díẹ̀, kí a bá a le sọ yín di alágbára nínú Olúwa,
12 that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine.
èyí nì ni pé, kí a lè jẹ́ ìwúrí fún ara wa nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wa.
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.
Mo fẹ́ kí ẹ mọ èyí, ẹ̀yin ará mi, pé mo ti gbìyànjú lọ́pọ̀ ìgbà láti tọ̀ yín wá (ṣùgbọ́n ìdíwọ́ wà fún mi), kí èmi ki ó lè jèrè ọkàn díẹ̀ láàrín yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ní láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà yòókù.
14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent:
Nítorí mo jẹ́ ajigbèsè sí Giriki àti sí àwọn aláìgbédè tí kì í ṣe Giriki, sí àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n àti sí àwọn aṣiwèrè.
15 so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who [are] in Rome.
Nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo ṣe ń làkàkà láti wá sí Romu àti láti fi gbogbo agbára mi wàásù ìyìnrere Ọlọ́run sí i yín.
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:
Èmi kò tijú ìyìnrere Jesu, nítorí agbára Ọlọ́run ní ín ṣe láti gba gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá gbàgbọ́ là, ọ̀rọ̀ yìí ni a kọ́kọ́ wàásù sí àwọn Júù nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí fún àwọn Helleni pẹ̀lú.
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.
Nítorí nínú ìyìnrere ni òdodo Ọlọ́run ti farahàn, òdodo Ọlọ́run nípa ìgbàgbọ́ láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ dé òpin gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ nínú Ìwé Mímọ́ pé, “Olódodo yóò yè nípa ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ̀.”
18 For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run fi ìbínú rẹ̀ hàn láti ọ̀run wá sí gbogbo àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run àti gbogbo àìṣòdodo ènìyàn, àwọn tí ń fi ìwà búburú dènà ìmọ̀ òtítọ́ lọ́dọ̀ ènìyàn.
19 Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them,
Nítorí pé, nǹkan gbogbo tí a lè mọ nípa Ọlọ́run ni a ti fihàn fún wọn, nítorí Ọlọ́run ti fi í hàn fún wọn.
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 )
Nítorí pé láti ìgbà dídá ayé, gbogbo ohun àìlèfojúrí rẹ̀, bí agbára ayérayé àti ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ ni a rí gbangba tí a sì ń fi òye ohun tí a dá mọ̀ ọ́n kí ènìyàn má ba à wá àwáwí. (aïdios )
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:
Lóòótọ́, wọn ní òye nípa Ọlọ́run dáradára, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò yìn ín lógo bí Ọlọ́run, wọ́n kò sí dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀; wọ́n ń ro èrò asán, ọkàn aṣiwèrè wọn sì ṣókùnkùn.
22 professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Níwọ́n bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé wọ́n pe ara wọn ní ọlọ́gbọ́n ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n di òmùgọ̀ pátápátá,
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.
wọ́n sì yí ògo Ọlọ́run tí kì í díbàjẹ́ sí àwọn àwòrán ère bí i ti ènìyàn tí í díbàjẹ́ àti ti ẹyẹ, àti ti ẹranko ẹlẹ́sẹ̀ mẹ́rin àti ti ẹranko afàyàfà.
24 Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves:
Nítorí náà Ọlọ́run fà wọ́n lé ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ọkàn wọn lọ́wọ́ láti máa ṣe ohun ìríra pẹ̀lú ara wọn èyí tí kò tọ́.
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 )
Wọ́n yí òtítọ́ Ọlọ́run sí èké, wọ́n sì ń foríbalẹ̀ láti máa sin ẹ̀dá dípò ẹlẹ́dàá—ẹni tí ìyìn tọ́ sí láéláé. Àmín. (aiōn )
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;
Nítorí èyí yìí ni Ọlọ́run ṣe fi wọ́n fún ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́, nítorí àwọn obìnrin wọn tilẹ̀ ń yí ìṣẹ̀dá ìbáṣepọ̀ tí ó tọ̀nà, sí èyí tí kò tọ̀nà.
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.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú, wọn a máa fi ìbálòpọ̀ obìnrin nípa ti ẹ̀dá sílẹ̀, wọn a máa fẹ́ ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí ara wọn, ọkùnrin ń bá ọkùnrin ṣe èyí tí kò yẹ, wọ́n sì ǹ jẹ èrè ìṣìnà wọn nínú ara wọn bí ó ti yẹ sí.
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;
Àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti kọ̀ láti gba Ọlọ́run nínú ìmọ̀ tí ó tọ́, Ọlọ́run fi wọ́n fún iyè ríra láti ṣe ohun tí kò tọ́ fún wọn láti ṣe.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,
Wọ́n kún fún onírúurú àìṣòdodo gbogbo, àgbèrè, ìkà, ojúkòkòrò, àrankàn; wọ́n kún fún ìlara, ìpànìyàn, ìjà, ìtànjẹ, ìwà búburú; wọ́n jẹ́ afọ̀rọ̀kẹ́lẹ́ ba ni jẹ́.
30 back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Asọ̀rọ̀ ẹni lẹ́yìn, akórìíra Ọlọ́run, aláfojúdi, agbéraga, ahalẹ̀, aláròṣe ohun búburú, aṣàìgbọràn sí òbí,
31 void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;
aláìníyè nínú, ọ̀dàlẹ̀, aláìnígbàgbọ́, ọ̀dájú, aláìláàánú.
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].
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé wọ́n mọ ìlànà Ọlọ́run pé, ẹni tí ó bá ṣe irú nǹkan wọ̀nyí yẹ sí ikú, wọn kò ní inú dídùn sí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí nìkan ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ní inú dídùn sí àwọn tí ń ṣe wọ́n.
