Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel 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 had promised before by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
I korerotia ra e ia i mua, ara e ana poropiti i roto i nga karaipiture tapu,
3 the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,
Mo tana Tama, i whanau nei he uri no Rawiri, no te wahi ki te kikokiko;
4 and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of 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 the office of an apostle in behalf of his name, in order to produce obedience to the faith among all nations;
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 ye also, the called of Jesus Christ;
No ratou nei hoki koutou, he mea karanga hei hunga mo Ihu Karaiti:
7 to all the beloved of God at Rome, called, holy: Grace be 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 In the first place, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout 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 with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how constantly I make mention of you, always in my prayers
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 supplicating that, if it be possible, I may at last through the will of God be favored with an opportunity of coming 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, which may be for your confirmation;
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 that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each other's faith, both yours and mine.
Ara kia ora ngatahi o tatou ngakau, toku i to koutou whakapono, o koutou i toku.
13 But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also, as among the other gentiles.
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 I am debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise.
He nama kei runga i ahau na nga Kariki, a na nga Tautangata, na te hunga mohio, a na te hunga whakaarokore.
15 So, according to my ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also in Rome.
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 gospel; for to every believer, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, it is the power of God unto salvation.
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 therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous shall 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 against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, who keep 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 may be known of God is manifest within them; for God made it manifest 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, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse. (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 though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful to him; but became perverse in their reasonings, and their senseless minds were 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 became fools,
I a ratou e mea ana he mohio ratou, na ka wairangi,
23 and for the glory of the incorruptible God they substituted images of corruptible man, and of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.
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 Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to debase their bodies with one another;
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 because they changed the true God for false gods, and adored and worshipped created things rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. 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 For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust,
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 the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.
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 as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;
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 being filled with all unrighteousness, malice, covetousness, wickedness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; backbiters,
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 slanderers, hated of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of mischief, 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 senseless, faithless, without natural affection, without pity;
Kahore o ratou matauranga, he hunga kupu taka, kahore nei he aroha, kahore e tohu tangata:
32 who, although knowing the ordinance of God, that they who practise such things deserve death, not only do them themselves, but approve of those who do 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.
