Romans 1
1 PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Njame Paulo musebenshi wa Yesu Klistu. Lesa walankuweti mbe mutumwa, kayi ne kunsaleti nkakambauke Mulumbe wakendi Waina.
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )
Lesa walashomesha kupa uwu Mulumbwe Waina kupitila mu bashinshimi bakendi, kayi walalembwa mu Mabala Aswepa.
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Ukute kwamba sha Yesu Klistu Mwanendi, Mwami wetu. Na tulalanga pa buntu bwakendi, walasemenwa mu mukowa wa Dafeti.
4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Nomba twalanga pa kuswepa kwakendi kwabu Lesa, kupunduka kubafu kwakendi kulaleshenga mwangofu kwambeti ni Mwanendi Lesa.
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Muli Klistu, kayi pacebo ca lina lyakendi, ame ndalatambula colwe cakuba mutumwa, kwambeti nyamfwe bantu ba mishobo yonse kumushoma ne kumunyumfwila Yesu.
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Nabambi pakati pa abo bantu, njamwe muli ku Loma, omwalakwiweti mube bakendi Yesu Klistu.
7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neco kayi ndamulembele mwense ba ku Loma, abo Lesa mbwasuni kayi ne kubakuweti babe bantu bakendi. Lesa Bata ne Mwami Yesu Klistu balamuleshe kwina moyo ne kumupa lumuno.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Cakutanguna ndalumbunga Lesa wakame kupitila muli Yesu Klistu pacebo ca njamwe mwense, pakwinga pa cishi conse capanshi bantu balambanga sha lushomo lwenu.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
Lesa nikamboni wakame, ucinsheti ndambanga cancinencine. Nkute kumusebensela ne moyo wakame wonse, pakukambauka Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Mwanendi. Neco Lesa ucinsheti nkute kumuyeya cindi conse mumipailo yakame,
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
nkute kumusenga Lesa kwambeti na kayanda, ncane cindi cakwambeti njise ndimufwakashile.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Pakwinga ndayandishishinga kwisa kumubona, kwambeti ndimuyabileko cipo ca Mushimu Uswepa, kayi ne kumuyuminisha.
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Ncendambanga nikwambeti, lushomo lwakame lukamuyuminishe ndakesa kuli njamwe, kayi ne njamwe lushomo lwenu lukanjuminishe.
13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Lino mobase bame, ndamwinshibishinga kwambeti nkanjeya sha kwisa kwenu, nsombi kushikila lelo kuli bintu bikute kungalisha kwambeti njise kwenu. Ndayandangeti nkese nkapesheti bantu bangi pali njamwe, bakasandukile kuli Klistu mbuli ncendalensa ku bantu ba mishobo naimbi.
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Pakwinga nkute cikweleti cakukambaukila bantu baiya ne babula kwiya, kayi kuli bakute mano ne mbutuma.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Weco cilankakatishinga kwisa akukambauka Mulumbe Waina kuli amwe ba ku Loma.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Ame ndashomeshesha Mulumbe Waina, pakwinga engofu sha Lesa shikute kupulusha muntu uliyense washoma, kutatikila ne Bayuda kushikila ku bantu bamishobo naimbi.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Uwu Mulumbe ukute kutuyubulwila bantu mobela kubela balulama pamenso a Lesa. Kufuma kumatatikilo kushikila kumapwililisho cilayandikinga nikwambeti bantu bashome. Mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti, “Muntu walulama kuli Lesa kupitila mulushomo nakabe ne buyumi.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Lesa layubululunga bukalu bwakendi kufuma kwilu kwisa pa bantu baipa kayi babula kululama, kwipa kwabo ekukute kubalisha kwinshiba cancine ncine ca Lesa.
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Lesa ukute kubapa cisubulo pakwinga bintu byela kwinshibikwa pali Lesa, nabo babinshi, kayi Lesa ewalabayubwilila ibi bintu.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)
Pakwinga kufuma pacindi Lesa mpwalalenga cishi capanshi ne lelo pano, bantu bakute kubona bwikalo bwa Lesa butaboneke, kayi ne ngofu shakendi shitapu ne bu Lesa bwakendi. Bantu bakute kubinshiba pakubona bintu Lesa mbyalalenga, neco bantu paliyawa mpobela kuleyela. (aïdios g126)
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Lesa bamwinshi, nsombi nkabakute kumupa bulemu bwamwelela nambi kumulumba, neco miyeyo yabo yalasanduka kuba yabula ncito, Kayi mumyoyo yabo mwesulowa mushinshe.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Nabo bakute kulibona kuba bamano, kakuli bapusa.
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Mu musena wa kukambilila Lesa wa cindi conse, balatatika kukambilila tumbwanga tukute kuboneketi muntu ukute kufwa, nambi bikeni nambi banyama, nambi tulyeti bintu bikute kukalaba.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Weco Lesa walabaleka kwambeti bapitilishe kwinsa byaipa, ibyo myoyo yabo mbyoilandanga kushikila pakusafwanya mibili yabo.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Balashiya cancine ncine ca Lesa ne kutatika kushoma bwepeshi. Balatatika kukambilila ne kusebensela bilengwa mucindi ca kusebensela Mulengi, kayi welela kulemekwa kushikila muyayaya. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Pacebo ca bintu ibi Lesa walabaleka kwambeti bensenga bintu byeshikupa nsoni, bilayandanga lunkumbwa lwa mibili yabo. Nambi batukashi balalula bwikalo bwa kona ne batuloba ne kutatika konana bonkabonka.
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Kayi nabo batuloba balalula bwikalo bwa kona ne batukashi ne kutatika kuba ne lunkumbwa lwa konana ne batuloba banabo. Balensa bintu byeshikupa nsoni. Pacebo ici balalitelenga bene cisubulo celela micito yabo yaipa.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Pakwinga balaciboneti nkacelela kuba ne lwinshibo lwesulila lwa ncinencine lwa Lesa, weco nendi Lesa walabaleka ne miyeyo yabo yaipa, yakwinsa bintu byeshikupa nsoni.
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Myoyo yabo yalesula ne kutalulama kwapusana pusana, mbuli kwipa ne bukuma ne bukapondo ne lukanda. Kayi myoyo yabo yesula ne kubepana ne minyono ne kwinshila banabo byaipa. Kayi ne kunung'unusha, ne bufwishi,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
kayi ne kwambana kwipa umo ne munendi, neco bakute kupatana ne Lesa, bamatuka beshikutwanga ne kulibonesha. Kayi bakute kuyeya nshila sha kwinsa byaipa, baliya bulemu ku bamashali babo.
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Nibantu batalisende, babula kushomeka baipa myoyo kayi babula nkumbo.
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Bawinshi mulawo wa Lesa wakwambeti bantu beshikwinsa bintu byamushoboyo belela kufwa. Necikabeco nabo ebakute kubinsa, kayi ebakute ne kulumbaisha abo balabinshinga.
