< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
Ne Paulo, nembombi va Yesu Klisite yune nilaghiwe ukhusuhiwa, nukhulekhehana ne livagili lya Nguluve.
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
Ele lyu livangili ililyanchoviwe khatali na vouyamalango vamwene mumbusimbe uvuvalanche.
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
Nchinchova umwana va mwene, uveakholiwe mukhivumbukho ikhya Daudi khunjila eya mbili.
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,
Umwene anchoviwe ukhuta Mwana va Nguluve khuu makha ga mepo umbanche khuluvoneklulo lwa vafwele, u Yesu Klisite Dada veto.
5 through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
Khugendela umwene tupokhile uvupokhi wa kusuhiwa nu wedesi uwa lwidekho panie nekhe khelunga, khulitawa lya mwene.
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
Pagati pa khilunga ekhi, nayumwe mwelagiwe ukhuva va Yesu Klisite.
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.
Ikalata eye ya mwevoni yumwe mtama khu va Rumi, vagane nu Nguluve, mwaelagiwe ukhuva vanu vavalanche. Ulukhugu luve kwenu, nu lugano ukhuma kwa Dada veto na khuswambe uYesu Klisite.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Mumbologolo nikhundemya uNguluve vago khwa Yesu Kliste khuliumwe mwevoni, ulwakhuva ulwedekho lulombeliliwa mukheluga vyoni.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you
Ulwakhuva u Nguluve isaidi vango, uvenikhumbombela ni numbula yango, kulimeyu ilya mwana va mwene, nduwu nitama ukhuvatambula.
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.
Daima nchoni nidova muyesayo nchago ukhuta khujela iyavenchaga ninche nive numwe khukya khulya mwe.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;
Ninogwa ukhuvavona, ukhuta nevape efikhogelwa fya numbula, ninche nivayilenche.
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
Pwu ninogwa nekhave amakha paninie numwe, khunjila iya lwidekho lwa khila munu.
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.
Lino valukholo, saninogwa mlemwe ukhulumanya ukhuta, ukhuta imesekhe mingi nesagile ukhincha khulyume, lenosesigiwe. Nikha nogwaga lino ukuva nisekhe khulyumwe ndawuyelekhu vanu ava khilunga.
14 I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Nidayiwa na vayunani na vahesya, avalemale na vapelwa.
15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Ulwakhuva une nilitayari ukhulumbelela elimenyu khulimwe nayumwe mwemulekhu Roma.
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.
Ulwa khuva sanivona soni khulimeyu, ulwakhuva makha ga Nguluve ukhutopokha khukhila munu uveekhwedekha, khua vayahudi avakhwanda na khuva Yunani vope.
17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."
Ulwakhuva wayelweli wa Nguluve vuvonikhe ukhuma ulwedekho, mpauha ulwedekho, nduwuyesimbiwe, “Unya lwidikho itamaga nulwidikho.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
Ulwakhuva uvuhegi wa Nguluve vuvonikhe ukhuma kukhyanya ni mbivi nuvutola nogwa woni uwa vanu, uvuvivi wifikha uwayelweli.
19 because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
Ulwakhuva, goni givonekha khwa Nguluve galipavuvalafu khuvene. Ulwakhuva uNguluve owavulile.
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 )
Imbombo ncha mwene enchosanchi vonekha vunonu nchivile pavuvalafu ukhuma khiliwa ulimwenguni. Khikwelevekha ukhugendela ifinu ifipeliwe. Imbombo incho makha ga mwene khihumana nu vufwa uwa khukhuma kuvutegulilo wa vuNguluve. Ukhuma, avanu ava viva vanchila vulegefu. (aïdios )
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.
Ulwakhuva, va mayile uNguluve, savandolelage umwene khama Nguluve, savalikhusana, vavile vakhoyofu khumasage gavene, ni numbula nchavo incha vukhoyofu yaigile ekhisa.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Valikhwiyilaga veuiyaluhara, vakhava vapelwa.
23 and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
Vakhalwandulania uvufwa wa Nguluve uvunchila vunagi khuvihwani khya munu uveanagikhe, ndiefidege, amakhanu akhayama lunde gane, ni fikhano ifikhwa fula.
24 Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,
U Nguluve akhavalekha vakhogage uvunogwe wa numbula nchavo imbivi, emivili givo kilikubediwa.
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 )
Na vene vayadwile elweli ya Nguluve ukhuva vudesi, valikhwesaya nu khugevombela imiguluve igige vakhandeka upelivavo, uviekhwi mekhiwa isikhu nchoni. Amina. (aiōn )
26 For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.
Ulwakuva, u Nguluve avalekhile vakhogage imbimbi nchavo enchiyasoni, ulwakhuva vaandulinie imbombo encha khatali vakha nchilekha incha khatali.
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.
Vulevule, avagosi vakhanchilekha imbombo nchao ncha khatali khuvehe vavo nu khuva nu vuligu khuvene vavo. Ava vagosi khuva gosi ewavombaga inchi sancho nogelanile, valikhutole ulukoto khumbombo nchavo.
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;
Ulwakhuva vabelile ukhuvanu Nguluve khuluhala lwavo, avalekhile vakhogage lyale, nchao imbivi, vavombage imbombo incho sanchinogelanile.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
Vadigile nuvutulanogwa, uvuvivi, uvunogwe uvuvivi, vadigile uvunogwe, uvubudi, imbancha. Uvusyovi, na amasage amavivi.
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Vavo vavile vasyovi, ava khehi navi khukalalila u Nguluve. Avayambancha, amatingo, ulwiginio, avene vavombo imbivi, nu vusavikhuva dwada avahonchi vavo.
31 foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Avene vanchila lukhala, savikhwidekha, vanchila lugano ulwa khwanda, vanchila lugano.
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.
Vanchimayile indagilo ncha Nguluve, ukhuta vala avivombo imbombo incho, vanegiwa vabudiwe. Inave vivombo imbomob incho pwu viva vikhweelehana na vavo vivomba imbo incho.
