Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Meshikha Yeshua, called to be an apostle, set apart for 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 promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
Sango Malamu oyo Nzambe alaka wuta kala na nzela ya basakoli na Ye kati na Makomi ya bule,
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of Dawid 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 was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Rukha of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Yeshua Meshikha 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 the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
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 you are also called to belong to Yeshua Meshikha;
Boye, bino mpe bozali na molongo ya bato yango oyo Yesu-Klisto abenga.
7 to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha.
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, I thank my God through Yeshua Meshikha for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout 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 I constantly mention 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, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed 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 to strengthen you;
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 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
to mpo ete tolendisana elongo, na nzela ya kondima moko oyo tozali na yango.
13 Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.
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 I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Nazali na niongo ya Bagreki mpe ya bato oyo bazali Bagreki te, ya bato ya bwanya mpe ya bazoba.
15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
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, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the 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 in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall 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 against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by 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 what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown 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 since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (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, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish 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 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Atako bazalaki komimona bato ya bwanya, kasi bakomaki bazoba.
23 and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
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 Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of 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 exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to 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 Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
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 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;
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 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
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 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, 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 foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;
bato bazanga mayele, bosembo, bolingo mpe mawa.
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice 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.
