Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Pawulo, mulanda waJesu Kkilisito, wakayitwa kuti abe mu positoli, alimwi wakasalilwa kukuchita mulimu waLeza.
2 Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
Eli ndilyo vangeli ndyakasyomezya chiindi kwiinda mubasinsimi bakwe mumalembe aasalala.
3 Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,
Zili aatala aMwana wakwe, wakazyalwa kuzwa kulunyungu lwaDeviti mukwiinda munyama.
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;
Akubuka kuzwa kubafu, wakaambwa kuti Mwana waLeza uli a manguzu mapati kwiinda muMuya wa busalali - Jesu Kkilisito Mwami wesu.
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;
Kwiinda mulinguwe twakatambula luzyalo abutumwe akaambo kakuswiilila chalusyomo aakati kamanyika woonse, kuchitila zina lyakwe.
6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
Aakati kawaaya manyika, alubo mwakayitwa kuti muli bakuli Jesu Kkilisito.
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.
Oolu lugwalo ndulwabaabo bali muLoma, bayandwi baLeza, bayitwa kuti bantu basalala. Luzyalo alube kulindinywe, alimwi luumuno luzwa kuli Leza Taata wesu alimwi Mwami Jesu Kkilisito.
8 First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
Lutanzi, ndilumba Leza wangu kwiinda muli Jesu Kkilisito akaambo kenu moonse, akuti lusyomo lwenu lwaambilizigwa munyika yoonse.
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;
Leza ngu kamboni wangu, ngundibelekela mumuya wangu kumakani mabotu aMwana wakwe, aawo mpeyinkila kunembo nkewamba atala andinywe.
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.
Ndilakumbila lyoonse munkombyo zyangu kuti mubunini ndikonzye kuzwidilila lino akuyanda kwaLeza mukuza kulindinywe.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:
Nkaambo ndilayandisya kumubona, kuti ndimupe zimwi zilongezyo zyaMuya, kuti ndikonzye kumusimisya.
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.
Nkokuti, ndilayanda kusungwazigwa akanu kenu, kwiinda mulusyomo lwawumwi awumwi, lwangu alimwi alwangu.
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.
Lino nsiyadi pe kuti mube batazi, bakwesu, kuti kiingi ndakalikuyanda kusika kulindinywe, pele ndakalikukachisigwa kusila lino. Ndakali kuyanda echi kuti nkonzye kuba amuchelo akati kenu alubo mbuli akati kabaMaasi.
14 To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;
Ndimesichikwelete kubili kubaGiliki alimwi akubazwakule, koonse kubasongo alimwi akubafubafuba.
15 So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
Nkaambo, mbuli ndime, ndililibambilide kwaambawula ivangeli alubo kulindinywe nimuli kuLoma.
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.
Nkaambo nsiwusigwi nsoni avangeli, nkaambo manguzu aLeza kulufutuko kuli woonse uusyoma, kubaJuda alimwi kuba Giliki.
17 For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.
Mukuti mulindilyo bululami bwaLeza bwayubununwa kuzwa kulusyomo kuya kulusyomo, mbuli mbukwakalembwa, “Basalali bayoopona chalusyomo.”
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:
Nkaambo mukali bwaLeza bwayubununwa kuzwa kujulu aatala abusofwazi alimwi akutalulama kwabantu, aabo babwedezya musule isimpe akaambo kakutalulama.
19 Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
Ezi nkukuti eecho chizibinkene aatala aLeza chilaboneka kulimbabo. Nkaambo Leza wabamunikila.
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)
Nkaambo bube bwakwe butaboneki bwakatondeezegwa aantanganan kuzwa kumatalikilo akulengwa zintu. Bube oobu ninguzu zyakwe zitamani alimwi abunajulu. Akaambo kaako, aaba bantu tabachikwe ntami pe. (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.
Ezi nkukuti, nikuba bakalizi aatala aLeza, tebakamulemya mbuli Leza, nikuba kumupa bulumbu. Pesi, baka bafubafuba mumiyeeyo yabo, alimwi myoyo yabo itamvwisisisyi yakasizigwa.
22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Bakali kulyaamba kuti bali abusongo, pele bakaba bafubafuba.
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.
Bakachinchanisya bulemu bwaLeza uutanyonyooki kucikkozyanyo chachitombe chamuntu uunyonyoka, cha bayuni, chabanyama bali amawulu one, alimwi chazintu ziyavula.
24 Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
Akaako Leza wakabaaba kunkosya yamyoyo yabo yabusofwazi, kuti mibili yabo ikabule kulemekwa aakati kabo.
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)
Mbimbabo bakachinchaanya kasimpe kaLeza kumabejo, alimwi bakakomba akulemya zilengwa kwiinda Mulengi, uyolumbayizigwa chakutamana. 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.
Akaambo kacheechi, Leza wakabapeda kumpeekezyo zitakwe bulemu, nkaambo banakazi babo bakachinchanya bubelesi bwabo mbubakalengwa aambubo kulizeezyo ziteendelani aabukkale.
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.
Mbuli munzila eeyi, baalumi abalabo bakasiya nzibakeelede kuchita abanakazi alimwi baba eenkosya yakuyanda umwi awumwi. Aaba mbaalumi bakachita a baalumi chiteelede pe, alimwi bakatambula mulilwabo lubeta lweendelana akutabotya kwabo.
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;
Nkaambo tebakayeeya kubika Leza mukubonesya kwabo, wakabapa muzezo utali kabotu, kuchitila mbabo kuti bachite ezyo zintu zitali kabotu pe.
29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
Bakazuzigwa akutalulama koonse, busofwazi, butangazi, alimwi a mabejo. Balizwide bbivwe, bujayi, lukajyanyo, lweeno, alimwi amiyeyo mibi.
30 Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Mbavwiyi, mbaasibupampu bwakubba, alimwi mbaasimusula-Leza. Balalupyopyongano, mbaachuundwe, alimwi balalisumpula. Mbaasimubamba zibi, alimwi tabaswiilili bazyali babo.
31 Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
Tabakwe kumvwisya; tabasyomekede pe, batamvwidi luzyalo alimwi batakwe luse
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.
Balamvwisya milawu yaLeza, kuti aabo bachita zintu ziliboobu baleelede kufwa. Pele pe pe kuti balachita biyo zintu ezi, balabotelwa abaabo bamwi bazichita
