Romans 1
1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,
Ko au Paula ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, kuo fili ko e ʻaposetolo, mo vaheʻi ki he ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)
(ʻAia naʻa ne fakaʻilo ʻi muʻa ʻi heʻene kau palōfita ʻi he ngaahi tohi māʻoniʻoni, )
3 Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,
ʻOku kau ki hono ʻAlo ko Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu hono sino ʻi he hako ʻo Tevita;
4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)
Pea fakahā fakapapau ʻaki ʻae mālohi, ʻi he toetuʻu mei he mate, ko e ʻAlo ia ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo fakatatau ki he laumālie ʻoe māʻoniʻoni:
5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,
ʻAia kuo mau maʻu ai ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e ngāue fakaʻaposetolo, ke ai ha talangofua ki he tui ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko hono huafa:
6 Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:
Pea ʻoku mou ʻiate kinautolu foki ko e fili ʻe Sisu Kalaisi:
7 To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Loma, ʻoku ʻofeina ʻe he ʻOtua, kuo ui ke māʻoniʻoni: ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e monūʻia mei he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai, pea mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.
ʻOku ou fuofua fakafetaʻi ki hoku ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu kotoa pē, he ʻoku ongoongoa hoʻomou tui ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
9 For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you
He ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou tauhi ʻaki hoku laumālie ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻo hono ʻAlo, ko hoku fakamoʻoni ia, ʻoku ou fakamanatuʻi maʻuaipē ʻakimoutolu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi lotu;
10 Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you.
ʻO kole taʻetuku, ʻo kapau ʻe mafai, ke u lavaʻi eni ha fononga lelei kiate kimoutolu ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua.
11 For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
He ʻoku ou holi lahi ke mamata kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u ʻatu kiate kimoutolu ha foaki fakalaumālie, ko e meʻa ke fakatuʻumaʻu aipē ʻakimoutolu;
12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.
Koeʻuhi ke tau fiemālie fakataha mo kimoutolu, ʻi he tui pe taha ʻamoutolu mo au.
13 Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue among the other Gentiles.
Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai te u loto ke mou taʻeʻilo, naʻe liunga lahi ʻeku tokanga ke u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u maʻu ha fua ʻiate kimoutolu foki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi Senitaile kehekehe, ka kuo taʻofia au.
14 I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
Ko e tuku totongi au ki he kakai Kiliki, mo e kakai muli; ki he poto, mo e taʻepoto.
15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.
Ko ia ʻoku ou loto ke u malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻi Loma foki, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku faʻa fai.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian.
He ʻoku ʻikai te u mā ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi: he ko e mālohi ia ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fakamoʻui kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui; ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he Siu, pea ki he Kiliki foki.
17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.
He ʻoku fakamatala ai ʻae fakatonuhiaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he tui ki he tui; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko e tonuhia ʻe moʻui ʻi he tui.”
18 For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
He ʻoku fakahā mei he langi ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua ki he taʻelotu mo e taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ʻoe kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku taʻofi ki he moʻoni ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni;
19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.
Koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ʻilongofua ʻi he ʻOtua kuo hā ia ʻiate kinautolu; he kuo fakahā ia ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu;
20 For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should be without excuse: (aïdios g126)
He ko e ngaahi meʻa taʻehāmai ʻaʻana, ʻaia ko ʻene māfimafi taʻengata mo hono ʻOtua, kuo ʻilongofua ia ʻi hono ngaohi ʻo māmani, ʻoku ʻiloʻi ia mei he ngaahi meʻa kuo ngaohi; ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai hanau haoʻanga: (aïdios g126)
21 Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.
Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakaʻapaʻapa pe fakafetaʻi, ke taau mo e ʻOtua; ka naʻe hoko ʻo vale ʻenau ngaahi mahalo, pea fakapoʻuli mo honau loto vale.
22 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
Pea ʻi heʻenau pole ko e poto ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau liliu ai ko e vale,
23 For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things.
ʻO nau fetongi ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha ʻaki ʻae fakatātā kuo ngaohi ke tatau pe mo e tangata ʻoku faʻa ʻauʻauha, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu veʻe fā, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo.
24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
Ko ia naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakinautolu ki he fakalielia ʻi he ngaahi holi kovi ʻa honau loto, ke fefakalieliaʻi honau sino ʻiate kinautolu:
25 Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fetongi ʻae ʻOtua moʻoni ʻaki ʻae loi, pea naʻe lahi hake ʻenau hū mo tauhi ki he meʻa kuo ngaohi, kae siʻaki ʻae Tupuʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku monūʻia ʻo taʻengata, ʻEmeni. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature.
Ko ia naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ngaahi holi kovi: he naʻa mo ʻenau kau fefine, naʻa nau liaki ʻaia ʻoku totonu, kae fai ʻaia ʻoku taʻetaau mo ʻetau anga:
27 And likewise also the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete.
Pea pehē foki ʻe he kau tangata, ʻenau siʻaki ʻae kau fefine, ʻonau vela ʻi heʻenau feholi kovi ʻaki ʻiate kinautolu; ʻo fefaiʻaki ʻe he kau tangata ʻaia ʻoku taʻengali, pea naʻa nau maʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae totongi totonu ʻo ʻenau fai hala ko ia.
28 For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,
Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau loto ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he loto kovi, ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ngali;
29 Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers,
Kuo fakafonu ʻaki ʻae taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, mo e feʻauaki, mo e angakovi, mo e manumanu, mo e fakafasifasi; ʻo fonu ʻi he meheka, mo e fakapō, mo e feʻiteʻitani, mo e kākā, mo e fasituʻu;
30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,
Ko e kau fefanafanahi kovi, mo e kau fakakovi, mo e kau fehiʻa ki he ʻOtua, mo e fakamālohi, mo e laukau, mo e kau polepole, mo e kau fakatupu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kovi, mo e talangataʻa ki he mātuʻa:
31 without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.
Ko e taʻepoto, ko e kau maumau fuakava, mo taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻofa fakafeʻofoʻofani; ko e angafakamolokau, mo e taʻemanavaʻofa:
32 Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them.
ʻAkinautolu ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ʻOtua, kuo totonu ke mate ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ngata ʻi heʻenau fai pehē pe, ka ʻoku nau kau mālie foki mo kinautolu ʻoku fai ia.
