Romans 1
1 PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God,
Nze Pawulo, omuddu wa Yesu Kristo, Mukama waffe Kristo, nayitibwa okuba omutume, eyayawulibwa okubuulira Enjiri ya Katonda,
2 (which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )
gye yasuubiriza mu bannabbi be mu byawandiikibwa ebitukuvu,
3 concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; made from the seed of David after the flesh,
ebyogera ku Mwana we, eyava mu zadde lya Dawudi mu mubiri,
4 definitively marked out as the Son of God by miracle, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead:
eyakakasibwa okuba Omwana wa Katonda mu maanyi aga Mwoyo Mutukuvu olw’okuzuukira kw’abafu, ye Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe.
5 through whom we have received grace and apostolic mission among all nations for his name, to bring them to the obedience of faith:
Mu Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe, mwe twaweerwa ekisa, ne mpitibwa okuba omutume, amawanga gonna galyoke gamugondere mu kukkiriza ku lw’erinnya lye.
6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ.
Nammwe muli mu abo abaayitibwa okuba abayigirizwa ba Yesu Kristo.
7 To all that are at Rome, beloved of God, called saints, grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mpandikira abo bonna ababeera mu Ruumi, abaagalwa ba Katonda, abaayitibwa okuba abatukuvu. Ekisa n’emirembe ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe ne Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe, bibeerenga nammwe.
8 First then I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is proclaimed through the whole world.
Okusooka neebaza nnyo Katonda wange ku lwammwe mwenna, ku bwa Yesu Kristo, olw’okukkiriza kwammwe okunywevu okwogerwako mu nsi yonna.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you,
Katonda gwe mpeereza n’omutima gwange gwonna nga mbulira Enjiri ey’Omwana we, ye mujulirwa wange, nga bwe mbasabira bulijjo,
10 always in my prayers entreating that haply now at last I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come to you.
nga mbegayiririra bulijjo mu kusaba kwange, ndyoke nsobole okubatuukako nga Katonda bw’anaayagala.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, in order that you may be established;
Kubanga neesunga nnyo okubalaba, ndyoke mbawe ku kirabo eky’omwoyo, mulyoke munywezebwe okutuuka ku nkomerero,
12 and that so I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and of me.
kwe kugamba: twezengamu amaanyi ffekka ne ffekka olw’okukkiriza kwe tulina.
13 But I would not that ye should be unacquainted, brethren, that oftentimes I have been purposing to come to you (and have been prevented until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentile nations.
Wabula njagala mumanye kino, abooluganda nti, Emirundi mingi nateekateeka okujja gye muli naye ne nziyizibwa okutuusa kaakano, ndyoke nkungule ebibala mu mmwe, nga bwe kiri mu mawanga amalala.
14 Both to the Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the ignorant am I a debtor.
Kubanga nnina ebbanja eri Abayonaani n’abatali Bayonaani, n’eri ab’amagezi n’eri abasirusiru,
15 So, as far as is in my power, I am desirous to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also.
era nammwe ab’e Ruumi kyenva njagala okubabuulira Enjiri.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God for salvation to every one who believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Enjiri tenkwasa nsonyi: kubanga ge maanyi ga Katonda agalokola buli muntu akkiriza, okusooka eri Omuyudaaya n’eri Omunnamawanga.
17 For the righteousness of God by faith is therein revealed for belief; as it is written, “Now the just by faith shall live.”
Kubanga mu yo obutuukirivu bwa Katonda bubikkulibwa. Obutuukirivu obwo butuweebwa olw’okukkiriza, olw’okukkiriza kwokka, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Abatuukirivu banaabeeranga balamu lwa kukkiriza.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding back the truth in unrighteousness.
Kubanga obusungu bwa Katonda bubikkulibbwa okuva mu ggulu ku abo abatatya Katonda bonna n’abakaafiiri bonna ku bye bakola okuziyiza amazima okuvaayo.
19 Because that which is capable of being known relative to God, is evident among them; for God hath manifested it to them.
Kubanga ebisoboka okumanyibwa ku Katonda bibabikkuliddwa, kubanga Katonda abibalaze byonna mu bujjuvu.
20 For from the creation of the world his invisible perfections, discoverable in the works that are made, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and deity; so that they are inexcusable: (aïdios g126)
Kubanga okuviira ddala ku kutondebwa kw’ensi, ebintu bye ebitalabika, bwe buyinza bwe obutaggwaawo n’obwa Katonda bwe, bitegeerwa ne birabikira ddala mu by’obutonde bwe, abantu balyoke baleme kubaako na kya kwewolereza. (aïdios g126)
21 because though they knew there was a God, they glorified him not as God, nor gave him thanks, but became triflers in their disputations, and their stupid heart was darkened.
Kubanga newaakubadde nga Katonda bamumanyi, tebaamugulumiza nga Katonda wadde okumwebazanga, naye ne bagobereranga ebitaliimu mu mpaka zaabwe, omutima gwabwe omusirusiru ne gujjuzibwa ekizikiza.
22 Affecting to be sophists, they turned idiots,
Beeyita ab’amagezi ne bafuuka abasirusiru,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.
ne bawanyisa ekitiibwa kya Katonda ataggwaawo okukifaananyiriza ekifaananyi ky’omuntu aggwaawo, n’eky’ebinyonyi, n’eky’ebirina amagulu ana n’eky’ebyewalula.
24 Wherefore God abandoned them, through the lusts of their own hearts, unto impurity, to dishonour their own bodies by themselves:
Katonda kyeyava abaleka, emitima gyabwe ne girulunkanira eby’obugwagwa ne bawemula emibiri gyabwe bokka na bokka.
25 who perverted the truth of God by falsehood, and worshipped and paid divine honours to the thing created instead of the Creator, who is blessed for evermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ne bafuula amazima ga Katonda okuba obulimba ne basinza era ne baweereza ebitonde, mu kifo ky’okusinza eyabitonda, eyeebazibwa emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gave them up to dishonourable passions. For even their women did change the natural use into that which was contrary to nature;
Katonda kyeyava abaleka ne beeyongera mu kwegomba kwabwe okw’obuwemu. Abakazi baabwe baawanyisa enkolagana yaabwe ey’obuzaaliranwa n’abasajja, ne bakola ebitali bya buzaaliranwa.
27 and likewise the men also, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lewdness one towards another; men with men committing indecency, and receiving in themselves the recompence of their delusion, which was meet.
Abasajja nabo baalekayo okwegatta ne bakazi baabwe mu ngeri ey’obuzaaliranwa, ne bajjuzibwa obukaba ne beegatta ne basajja bannaabwe. N’ekyava mu bikolwa ebyo eby’obugwagwa, kwe kusasulibwa empeera esaanira okwonoona kwabwe.
28 And since they thought not fit to hold the Deity in acknowledgment, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to practise deeds unbecoming;
Bwe baagaana okumanya Katonda, Katonda kyeyava abaleka ne babeera n’omutima omwonoonefu ne bakola ebitasaana.
29 replete with all injustice, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, villany; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, evil habits; whisperers,
Bajjuzibbwa obutali butuukirivu bwonna, n’ebibi, n’omululu, n’obukyayi, n’obuggya, n’obussi, n’entalo, n’obulimba, n’enkwe, n’okwogera ebitasaana, nga basala ku bannaabwe ebigambo,
30 backbiters, God-haters, contumelious, insolent, boasters, inventors of wicked practices, disobedient to parents,
era nga bageya, nga bakyawa Katonda, nga bavuma bannaabwe, nga bajjudde amalala n’okwekulumbaza, nga bagunjawo enkola y’ebikyamu, era nga bajeemera bakadde baabwe.
31 unintelligent, unfaithful to engagements, unnatural, implacable, unmerciful:
Tebategeera so tebalina kukkiriza, tebalina kwagala, era tebalina mutima gusaasira.
32 who, though they know the righteous judgment of God, that they who live in such practices are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also find pleasure in the company of those who live in these practices.
Newaakubadde nga bamanyi nga Katonda yagamba nti abantu abakola ebintu ng’ebyo balizikirizibwa, tebakoma ku kubikola kyokka, naye basiima n’abo ababikola.
