Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God,
Polo, mowumbu ya Yesu-Klisto, oyo abengama mpo ete azala ntoma mpe aponama mpo na kosakola Sango Malamu ya Nzambe,
2 which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings,
Sango Malamu oyo Nzambe alaka wuta kala na nzela ya basakoli na Ye kati na Makomi ya bule,
3 concerning His Son—who has come of the seed of David according to the flesh,
Sango Malamu oyo ezali koloba na tina na Mwana na Ye, oyo kati na bomoto na Ye, abotamaki na libota ya Davidi,
4 who is marked out [as the] Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection from the dead—Jesus Christ our Lord;
mpe na nzela ya Molimo Mosantu, amonisamaki na nguya nyonso ete azali Mwana na Nzambe, na nzela ya lisekwa na Ye kati na bakufi: Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of His Name;
Ezali na nzela na Ye nde nazwaki ngolu ya kozala ntoma mpo na kosala ete na Kombo na Ye, Bapagano batosa Ye na nzela ya kondima.
6 among whom are also you, the called of Jesus Christ;
Boye, bino mpe bozali na molongo ya bato yango oyo Yesu-Klisto abenga.
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called holy ones: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Epai na bino nyonso oyo, kati na Rome, bozali balingami ya Nzambe mpe bobengama mpo na kozala basantu: Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
8 First, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;
Ya liboso, nazali kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe na ngai, na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, mpo na bino nyonso, pamba te bazali kolobela kondima na bino kati na mokili mobimba.
9 for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
Nzambe oyo nasalelaka na motema na ngai mobimba tango nateyaka Sango Malamu ya Mwana na Ye, azali Motatoli na ngai ete natikaka te kotanga kombo na bino
10 always in my prayers imploring, if by any means now at length I will have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come to you,
kati na mabondeli na ngai tango nyonso; mpe nasengaka na Nzambe ete, na mikolo oyo to na mikolo oyo ekoya, apesa ngai nzela ya koya kotala bino, soki ezali mokano na Ye.
11 for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established;
Pamba te nazali na posa makasi ya komona bino mpo na kopesa bino likabo ya ngolu, likabo ya Molimo, mpo ete bolendisama na kondima na bino
12 and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through faith in one another, both yours and mine.
to mpo ete tolendisana elongo, na nzela ya kondima moko oyo tozali na yango.
13 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you—and was hindered until the present time—that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.
Bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba ete nazalaki mbala mingi kosala mabongisi ya koya epai na bino, mpo na kobuka mbuma kati na bino, ndenge nazalaki kosala kati na Bapagano mosusu; kasi kino sik’oyo, bipekiselo mingi ezali kokanga ngai nzela.
14 Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,
Nazali na niongo ya Bagreki mpe ya bato oyo bazali Bagreki te, ya bato ya bwanya mpe ya bazoba.
15 so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,
Yango wana nazali penza na posa makasi ya koteya Sango Malamu epai na bino oyo bozali na Rome.
16 for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.
Nazali na soni te mpo na Sango Malamu, pamba te ezali nguya ya Nzambe mpo na lobiko ya moto nyonso oyo andimaka: liboso, ya Moyuda, mpe sima, ya Mogreki.
17 For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it has been written: “And the righteous one will live by faith,”
Pamba te Sango Malamu yango emonisaka biso bosembo ya Nzambe, oyo ezwamaka na nzela ya kondima, wuta na ebandeli kino na suka, kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Moto ya sembo akobika na nzela ya kondima. »
18 for the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven on all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.
Solo, Nzambe amonisaka kanda na Ye wuta na lola mpo na kopesa etumbu, na lisumu mpe na mabe nyonso ya bato oyo bazipaka bosolo na nzela ya misala na bango ya mabe,
19 Because that which is known of God is revealed among them, for God revealed [it] to them,
pamba te makambo oyo bakoki koyeba na tina na Nzambe emonanaka polele kati na bango; Ye moko Nzambe nde alakisa bango yango na polele.
20 for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being inexcusable; (aïdios g126)
Wuta Nzambe akela mokili, makoki na Ye, oyo emonanaka na miso te, lokola nguya na Ye ya seko mpe bonzambe na Ye, emonanaka polele penza, tango bayekolaka yango na nzela ya misala na Ye. Boye, bato bakoki te komilongola na ngambo. (aïdios g126)
21 because, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,
Pamba te, atako bayebaki Nzambe, kasi bapesaki Ye te lokumu oyo ekoki na Nzambe mpe bapesaki Ye matondi te, kasi makanisi na bango ekomaki ya bozoba, mpe mitema na bango, oyo ezangaki mayele, etondaki na molili.
22 professing to be wise, they were made fools,
Atako bazalaki komimona bato ya bwanya, kasi bakomaki bazoba.
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.
Na esika ete bakumisa Nzambe oyo akufaka te mpe atonda na nkembo, bakumisaki banzambe ya bikeko lokola bililingi ya bato oyo bakufaka, ya bandeke, ya banyama oyo etambolaka na makolo minei mpe oyo etambolaka na libumu.
24 For this reason also God gave them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonor their bodies among themselves;
Yango wana, Nzambe akabaki bango kati na baposa mabe ya mitema na bango mpe na misala ya bosoto, mpo ete basambwisa banzoto na bango moko, na nzela ya moko to ya mosusu.
25 who changed the truth of God into the lie, and honored and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Basundolaki bosolo ya Nzambe mpo na komipesa na makambo ya lokuta, bapesaki lokumu mpe bagumbamelaki bikelamu, na esika ya Mokeli oyo apesamela nkembo mpo na seko. Amen! (aiōn g165)
26 Because of this God gave them up to dishonorable affections, for even their females changed the natural use into that against nature;
Yango wana, Nzambe asundolaki bango kati na baposa ya soni. Ezala basi na bango, batikaki kosangisa nzoto na mibali mpo na komipesa na bosangisi nzoto oyo esengeli te.
27 and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, burned in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the repayment of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.
Ndenge moko mpe mpo na mibali: batikaki kosangisa nzoto na basi, batondisamaki na posa ya kosangisa nzoto na baninga na bango mibali; basalaki makambo ya soni, mibali na mibali, mpe bazwaki kati na bango moko lifuti oyo ekokaki na libunga na bango.
28 And according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;
Lokola bamonaki ete koyeba Nzambe ezali na tina te, Nzambe akabaki bango na makanisi na bango ya mabe, mpo ete basala makambo oyo ebongi te.
29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,
Batondaki na lolenge nyonso ya misala ya sembo te, ya makambo mabe, ya lokoso, ya mabe, ya zuwa, ya misala ya koboma bato, ya koswana, ya kokosela baninga makambo mpe ya koyina bato; bakomaki bato na songisongi,
30 evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
na kotiola baninga, banguna ya Nzambe, bato batonda na lolendo, na lofundu, na bilobaloba, na mayele ya kosala mabe, batomboki na miso ya baboti na bango;
31 unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;
bato bazanga mayele, bosembo, bolingo mpe mawa.
32 who the righteous judgment of God having known—that those practicing such things are worthy of death—not only do them, but also have delight with those practicing them.
Bayebi malamu ekateli ya sembo ya Nzambe ete bato oyo basalaka makambo ya lolenge wana basengeli na kufa, kasi bazali kaka kokoba kosala makambo wana nyonso mpe kondima bato oyo basalaka yango.
