Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Pọl, odibo Kraịst Jisọs, onye Chineke kpọrọ ka ọ bụrụ onyeozi ya na onye o kewapụtara ka o zisaa oziọma ya.
2 Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
Oziọma a bụ nke ahụ Chineke kwere na nkwa nʼoge gara aga site nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya nke e dere ihe banyere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ.
3 Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,
Oziọma a metụtara Ọkpara ya, onye bụ nwa Devid site nʼọmụmụ nke anụ ahụ.
4 Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead;
Onye esitere na Mmụọ nke ịdị nsọ họpụta ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, site nʼike nke mbilite nʼọnwụ, bụ Kraịst Jisọs, Onyenwe anyị.
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;
Onye anyị sitere nʼaka ya nata amara na ọrụ ị bụ onyeozi, ime ka ndị mba ọzọ nwee nrube isi nke okwukwe nʼetiti ha nʼihi aha ya.
6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
Tinyere unu onwe unu ndị ahụ a kpọrọ ka ha bụrụ ndị nke Jisọs Kraịst.
7 To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ya bụ, unu ndị Chineke hụrụ nʼanya bi na Rom, ndị ọ kpọrọ ka ha bụrụ ndị nsọ: Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
8 First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
Na mbụ, ana m ekele Chineke ekele nʼihi unu niile, site nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst. Nʼihi na a na-ekwusa ihe banyere okwukwe unu nʼụwa niile.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you;
Chineke, onye m na-ejere ozi, nʼime mmụọ site na ikwusa oziọma nke Ọkpara ya, bụ onye akaebe na m na-echeta unu mgbe niile nʼekpere m.
10 Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.
Nʼekpere m oge niile, a na m arịọ ka ọ bụrụ ihe ga-ekwe mee na site nʼike Chineke, aga m enwe ohere ịbịa leta unu.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:
Ọ na-agụ m agụụ nke ukwuu ịbịa hụ unu anya, nʼihi na achọrọ m ka unu keta oke nʼonyinye Mmụọ Nsọ nke Chineke nyere m, nke ga-enyere unu aka iguzosi ike nʼokwukwe.
12 That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you, by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.
Ọ bụkwaghị naanị nke a, kama achọrọ m ka anyị gbarịtaa onwe anyị ume site nʼokwukwe anyị.
13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you, (and have been hindered hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ime ka unu mata na atụọla m atụmatụ ịbịa leta unu ọtụtụ mgbe (ma tutu ruo ugbu a e gbochiri m ịbịa), ka m nwee ike nweta mkpụrụ nʼetiti unu, dịka m nwere nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ.
14 To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;
Nʼihi na abụ m onye ji ụgwọ nye ndị Griik na ndị mba ọzọ, nyekwa ndị maara ihe na ndị nzuzu.
15 So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
Ya mere m ji dị njikere ikwusa oziọma nyekwa unu bụ ndị bi na Rom.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
Nʼihi na ihere oziọma ahụ anaghị eme m, nʼihi na ọ bụ ike Chineke na-ewetara onye ọbụla kwere na ya nzọpụta, nye onye Juu na mbụ nakwa nye onye Griik.
17 For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼoziọma ka e kpughere ezi omume Chineke, ezi omume nke na-esite nʼokwukwe ruo okwukwe. Dịka e siri dee ya, “Onye ezi omume ga-esite nʼokwukwe dị ndụ.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:
Nʼihi na e sitela nʼeluigwe kpughe ọnụma Chineke megide mmehie na ajọ omume niile nke ndị na-emebi iwu, ndị na-esite nʼajọ omume ha na-eguzogide eziokwu ahụ.
19 Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
Nʼihi na ndị a maara ihe ha kwesiri ịmata banyere Chineke. Ha maara ya nʼihi na Chineke nʼonwe ya emeela ka o doo ha anya.
20 For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable. (aïdios g126)
Nʼihi na site nʼoge Chineke kere ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya, ụdịdị ya nke a na-apụghị ịhụ anya na ike nke ebighị ebi ya na ụdịdị ịdị nsọ ya ka e mere ka ọ pụta ìhè nye ụmụ mmadụ. Ụmụ mmadụ na-aghọta ihe ndị a site nʼihe ndị e kere eke. Nʼihi nke a ụmụ mmadụ enwekwaghị ngọpụ. (aïdios g126)
21 Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Ọ bụ eziokwu na ha maara Chineke, ma ha anaghị asọpụrụ ya, ha anakwaghị enye ya ekele dịka Chineke. Echiche uche ha bụ ihe efu, nzuzu ha mere ka obi ha gbaa ọchịchịrị.
22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Mgbe ha na-eche na ha bụ ndị maara ihe, ha amataghị na ha bụ ndị nzuzu.
23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.
Kama ife Chineke na-adịghị anwụ anwụ ofufe, ha weere otuto ha kwesiri inye ya nye ihe ndị ahụ ha jiri aka ha kpụọ. Ihe ndị a yiri mmadụ na-anwụ anwụ, na nnụnụ, na ụmụ anụmanụ, na ihe na-akpụ akpụ nʼala.
24 Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
Nʼihi ya, Chineke hapụrụ ha ka ha mee ihe ọjọọ ndị ahụ na-agụ obi ha agụụ nye adịghị ọcha nke ịkwa iko, ha jikwa ahụ ha emerịta mpu nʼetiti onwe ha.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ha were okwu ụgha dochie nʼọnọdụ eziokwu banyere Chineke. Ha na-asọpụrụ, na-efekwa ihe e kere eke, ma hapụ Onye okike, onye a na-eto ruo ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
Ọ bụ nke a mere Chineke jiri nyefee ha nʼaka agụụ anụ ahụ nke na-eme ihere. Nʼihi ya, ọ bụladị ndị inyom na ndị inyom ibe ha nọgidere na-enwe mmekọrịta nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi.
27 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
Ọzọkwa, kama ha na ndị inyom inwe mmekọrịta; ndị ikom ha họọrọ ka ha na ndị ikom ibe ha na-enwe ụdị mmekọrịta nke ha na ndị inyom kwesiri inwe. Nwoke na-edinakwuru nwoke ibe ya. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ha natakwara ntaramahụhụ kwesiri ha nʼihi ihe ọjọọ ndị a ha na-eme.
28 And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;
Ya mere, ebe ha kpachapụrụ anya jụ ịmata onye Chineke bụ, Chineke nyere ha akọnuche ndị nzuzu, nke mere ka ha na-eme ihe ọjọọ niile nke ajọ echiche obi ha chepụtara.
29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
Ha jupụtara nʼajọ omume na mmehie niile, anya ukwu na aghụghọ. Ha jupụtakwara nʼekworo, na igbu mmadụ, na esemokwu, na uche gbagọrọ agbagọ na ịkpọ asị. Ha bụ ndị na-ekwu okwu azụ,
30 Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
na ndị nkwutọ na ndị kpọrọ Chineke asị, na ndị na-akparị mmadụ na ndị mpako na ndị na-anya isi. Ha na-atụpụta ụzọ ọhụrụ ime ihe ọjọọ, ha adịghị asọpụrụ ndị mụrụ ha.
31 Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
Ha bụkwa ndị na-enweghị nghọta, ndị na-enweghị okwukwe, ndị obi ọjọọ na ndị na-enweghị obi ebere.
32 Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
Ha maa na Chineke nyere iwu dị ike na ndị na-ebi ndụ dị otu a kwesiri ọnwụ, ma ha gara nʼihu na-eme ihe ndị a, ma na-akwalịkwa mmụọ ndị ọzọ ka ha soro na-eme ha.
