Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

Saa nhoma yi fi me, Paulo, Yesu Kristo somfo a wɔayi me sɛ ɔsɛnkafo a wɔasoma me sɛ menkɔka Onyankopɔn asɛmpa no nkyɛn.

2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

Wɔnam Onyankopɔn adiyifo so dii kan hyɛɛ asɛmpa no ho nkɔm wɔ Apam Dedaw no mu.

3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

Saa bɔhyɛ yi fa ne Ba Yesu Kristo a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade a ɔba ma wɔwoo no sɛ akokoaa too Ɔhene Dawid abusua mu no ho.

4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

Na Honhom Kronkron da no adi pefee sɛ Yesu Kristo yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba, efisɛ wonyan no fii awufo mu.

5 through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

Ɛnam Kristo so nti na Onyankopɔn ma meyɛɛ ɔsomafo maa Kristo, sɛnea nnipa nyinaa nam gyidi so bɛyɛ osetie ama Onyankopɔn.

6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

Mo a mowɔ Roma a Onyankopɔn afrɛ mo sɛ mommɛyɛ Kristo akyidifo no nso moka ho bi.

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 Jesus Christ.

Ɛno nti, merekyerɛw mo a mowɔ Roma nyinaa a Onyankopɔn dɔ mo na wafrɛ mo sɛ mommɛyɛ nʼakyidifo no: Ɔdom ne asomdwoe a efi yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo nka mo.

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

Ansa na mɛka biribiara no, menam Yesu Kristo so da me Nyankopɔn ase ma mo nyinaa, efisɛ mo gyidi a mowɔ no adu wiase mmaa nyinaa.

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you

Onyankopɔn a mede me koma nyinaa som no, na menam asɛmpa a menam ne Ba so ka no nim sɛ nea meka no yɛ nokware. Onyankopɔn nim sɛ mekae mo daa.

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.

Bere biara a mebɔ mpae no, mesrɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa mma mintumi mmɛsra mo mprempren ara.

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;

Efisɛ mepere hwehwɛ sɛ mehu mo na maboa mo ama moanya Onyankopɔn honhom mu nhyira na ahyɛ mo den.

12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

Nea mekyerɛ ne sɛ me ne mo nyinaa benya honhom mu ahoɔden bere koro mu a yɛde bɛhyɛ yɛn ho yɛn ho gyidi mu den.

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.

Me nuanom, monkae sɛ bere biara a mɛyɛ mʼadwene sɛ merebɛsra mo no, na biribi abɛbɔ mu. Mepɛ sɛ mesakra nnipa adwene wɔ mo mu sɛnea mayɛ wɔ amanamanmufo mu no.

14 I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

Mo ne obiara, wɔn a wɔn ani atew ne wɔn a wɔn ani ntewee, wɔn a wɔasua ade ne wɔn a wonsuaa ade nyinaa ho asɛm yɛ mʼasodi.

15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

Ɛno nti mede mʼahoɔden a mewɔ nyinaa aboa me ho sɛ mɛba mo nkyɛn wɔ Roma abɛka Onyankopɔn asɛmpa no kyerɛ mo.

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.

Mʼani nwu Asɛmpa no ho, efisɛ ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn tumi a ɔnam so gye wɔn a wɔwɔ gyidi nyinaa nkwa; Yudafo kan na amanamanmufo no nso.

17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."

Asɛmpa no kyerɛ yɛn sɛnea Onyankopɔn ma yɛyɛ atreneefo, na ɛnam gyidi so na wama yɛayɛ saa. Sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka no, ɔtreneeni fi gyidi mu benya nkwa.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,

Onyankopɔn da nʼabufuw adi fi ɔsoro de tia nnebɔneyɛfo nyinaa ne nnipa a wɔde nokware no hintaw afoforo no.

19 because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

Efisɛ Onyankopɔn ada ne nokwasɛm no adi wɔ wɔn mu, na ɔde ne ho nimdeɛ ahyɛ wɔn koma mu.

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)

Efi bere a Onyankopɔn bɔɔ wiase no, ne tumi a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no ne ne nyamesu no ada adi. Nnipa nam Onyankopɔn abɔde so tumi hu saa nneɛma yi, enti wonni anoyi biara. (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.

Wonim Onyankopɔn, nanso wɔmfa ne nidi a ɛfata no no mma no na wɔnna no ase nso. Ayɛ saa ma wɔn adwene mu nnɔ na esum aduru mu.

22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

Wɔka se wɔyɛ anyansafo nanso wɔyɛ nkwaseafo.

23 and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.

Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom Onyankopɔn onuonyamfo a ɔte hɔ daa no, wɔfaa nnua ne abo yɛɛ ahoni te sɛ nnomaa, mmoadoma, awɔ ne nnipa som wɔn.

24 Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,

Ɛno nti, Onyankopɔn gyaa wɔn maa afide a efi wɔn koma mu maa wɔne wɔn ho wɔn ho yɛɛ aniwude nso.

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)

Wɔde Onyankopɔn ho nokwasɛm no sesaa atosɛm na wɔsom abɔde sen Ɔbɔade a daa wɔkamfo no no. 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.

Esiane saa nti, Onyankopɔn gyaa wɔn maa honam mu akɔnnɔ a ɛyɛ aniwude. Na mpo wɔn mmea fa wɔn yɔnkonom mmea.

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.

Saa ara nso na na mmarima ne mmea nna, na mmom, bɔne akɔnnɔ hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔne wɔn ho wɔn ho dae, nam so nyaa akatua a ɛsɛ wɔn.

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;

Esiane sɛ nnipa poo Onyankopɔn ho nokware no nti, wɔfaa wɔn adwemmɔne so yɛɛ nneɛma a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ mmom.

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

Amumɔyɛ ahorow nyinaa, bɔne, anibere ne nnebɔne hyɛɛ wɔn ma. Nitan, awudi, akasakasa, asisi ne ɔbra bɔne nso ka ho. Wodii nseku,

30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

kaa nsɛm a ɛmfata faa afoforo ho; wokyi Onyankopɔn; wɔyɛɛ atutuwpɛ, ahantan ne ahomaso. Na daa wodwen sɛ wɔbɛyɛ bɔne. Wɔantie wɔn awofo asɛm.

31 foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;

Na wonni suban; na wonni wɔn bɔhyɛ so; na wonni ayamye ne ahummɔbɔ ma afoforo.

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.

Na wonim sɛ Onyankopɔn mmara kyerɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔtena ase wɔ saa ɔkwan no so no sɛ owu. Nanso wɔnko ara anyɛ saa afide no, na mmom wɔpenee afoforo a wɔyɛɛ saa bɔne koro no ara bi no so.
