Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God,
Na Paora, na te pononga a Ihu Karaiti, i karangatia hei apotoro, i motuhia ki te rongopai a te Atua,
2 which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings,
I korerotia ra e ia i mua, ara e ana poropiti i roto i nga karaipiture tapu,
3 concerning His Son—who has come of the seed of David according to the flesh,
Mo tana Tama, i whanau nei he uri no Rawiri, no te wahi ki te kikokiko;
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;
I whakapuakina mai nei ko te Tama a te Atua i runga i te kaha, i runga i ta te wairua o te tapu, i te mea ka whakaarahia i te hunga mate; ara a Ihu Karaiti, to tatou Ariki,
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of His Name;
Nana nei matou i whiwhi ai ki te aroha noa, ki te mahi apotoro, kia ngohengohe ai, kia whakapono ai nga iwi katoa, hei mea mo tona ingoa:
6 among whom are also you, the called of Jesus Christ;
No ratou nei hoki koutou, he mea karanga hei hunga mo Ihu Karaiti:
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!
Ki te hunga katoa i Roma, e arohaina nei e te Atua, ka oti nei te te karanga hei hunga tapu: Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
8 First, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;
Ko taku mea tuatahi, he whakawhetai ki toku Atua i roto i a Ihu Karaiti mo koutou katoa, no te mea e korerotia ana to koutou whakapono i te ao katoa.
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,
Ko te Atua, e mahi nei toku wairua ki a ia i roto i te rongopai o tana Tama, hei kaiwhakaatu moku, mo te mau tonu o taku whakahuahua i a koutou, a i aku karakiatanga i nga wa katoa,
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,
E inoi ana me kore e pai te Atua kia whakatikaia taku haere atu ki a koutou.
11 for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established;
Nui atu hoki toku hiahia kia kite i a koutou, kia whakawhiwhi ai ahau i a koutou ki tetahi mea homai, he mea wairua, kia whakaungia ai koutou;
12 and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through faith in one another, both yours and mine.
Ara kia ora ngatahi o tatou ngakau, toku i to koutou whakapono, o koutou i toku.
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.
Na e kore ahau e pai, e oku teina, kia ngaro i a koutou te maha o aku meatanga kia haere atu ki a koutou, heoi araia mai ana ahau, a mohoa noa nei, kia whiwhi ai ahau ki tetahi hua i roto i a koutou hoki, kia pera me te mea i era atu tauiwi.
14 Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,
He nama kei runga i ahau na nga Kariki, a na nga Tautangata, na te hunga mohio, a na te hunga whakaarokore.
15 so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,
Na reira e ngakau nui ana ahau kia whakapaua taku ki te kauwhau hoki i te rongopai ki a koutou i Roma.
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.
Kahore hoki oku whakama ki te rongopai: ko te kaha hoki ia o te Atua hei whakaora mo nga tangata katoa e whakapono ana; mo te Hurai ki mua, mo te Kariki ano hoki.
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,”
A kei reira e whakakitea ana ta te Atua tika, he mea no te whakapono ki te whakapono: kua oti nei hoki te tuhituhi, ma te whakapono e ora ai te tangata tika.
18 for the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven on all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.
E whakakitea iho ana hoki i te rangi to te Atua riri ki nga karakiakoretanga katoa, ki nga he o nga tangata e pehi ana i te pono i runga i te he;
19 Because that which is known of God is revealed among them, for God revealed [it] to them,
Kei roto nei i a ratou e marama ana nga mea o te Atua e taea te mohio; kua whakamaramatia hoki e te Atua ki a ratou.
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)
E kitea nuitia ana hoki nga mea ona, kahore nei i kitea, no te hanganga iho ra o te ao, e mohiotia ana ki nga mea i hanga, ara tona kaha mau tonu, me tona atuatanga; kia kore ai he kupu whakahoki ma ratou: (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,
I a ratou hoki e matau ana ki te Atua, kihai ratou i whakakororia i a ia hei Atua, kihai hoki i whakawhetai; heoi kua kuware o ratou whakaaro, a whakapouritia ana to ratou ngakau pohehe.
22 professing to be wise, they were made fools,
I a ratou e mea ana he mohio ratou, na ka wairangi,
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.
A whakaputaia ketia ake te kororia o te Atua e kore nei e pirau, kia rite ki te ahua o te tangata pirau noa, o nga manu hoki, o nga kararehe waewae wha, o nga mea ngokingoki.
24 For this reason also God gave them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonor their bodies among themselves;
Koia ratou i tukua ai e te Atua ki te mahi poke, i runga i nga hiahia o o ratou ngakau, kia whakatutuatia iho ai o ratou tinana e ratou ano, to tetahi e tetahi:
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)
I te mea kua whakawhiti ratou i to te Atua pono mo te teka, a karakia ana, mahi ana ki te mea hanga, kapea ake te Kaihanga, ko ia nei te whakapaingia ake ake. Amine. (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;
Koia ratou i tukua ai e te Atua ki nga hiahia tutua: ko a ratou wahine hoki, mahue ake i a ratou te tikanga maori, kei te ngau ke noa atu:
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.
Me nga tane ano, whakarerea ake e ratou te tikanga maori ki te wahine, ano he ahi te kanga o to ratou hiahia ki a ratou ano; nga tane ki nga tane, mahi ai i te mea whakama, me te whiwhi ano ki te utu e rite ana mo to ratou ngaunga ketanga.
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;
A i a ratou kihai nei i pai kia mau tonu te Atua ki o ratou mahara, tukua ana ratou e te Atua ki te hinengaro he, kia mahia nga mea kahore e tau kia mahia.
29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,
Ki tonu ratou i nga mahi he katoa, i te kino, i te apo, i te mauahara; whawhao rawa i te hae, i te kohuru, i te totohe, i te hianga, i te whanoke; he hunga kohumuhumu,
30 evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
He hunga ngautuara, kino ki te Atua, he hunga whakahihi, whakakake, whakapehapeha, he kaitito i nga mea kino, e turi ana ki nga matua,
31 unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;
Kahore o ratou matauranga, he hunga kupu taka, kahore nei he aroha, kahore e tohu tangata:
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.
Ahakoa e matau ana ano ratou ki ta te Atua tikanga, he tika te mate mo nga kaimahi i enei mea, heoi ka mahi tonu ratou i aua mea me te whakaae hoki ki te hunga e pera ana te mahi.
