< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad-message of God—
Nne Pauli ntumwa jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, njemilwe na a Nnungu kubha ntume jwa lunguya Ngani ja Mmbone.
2 Which he promised beforehand, through his prophets, in holy scriptures—
Jene Ngani ja Mmboneji, jishinkulajilwa na a Nnungu bhukala, kupitila ashinkulondola bhabho Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo.
3 Concerning his Son, —who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,
Ngani ja Bhana bhabho, Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhabhelekwe shigundu nnukolo lwa a Daudi,
4 Who was distinguished as the Son of God—by power, according to a Holy Spirit, through means of a resurrection of the dead, —Jesus Christ our Lord;
na Mmbumu ya ukonjelo gwabho bhashinkuagulwa kubha Mwana jwa a Nnungu, kwa kuyuka kwabho bhakaweje, yani a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
5 Through whom we have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,
Kupitila kwa bhenebho, uwe tushipegwa nema na utume, nkupinga bhandu bha ilambo yowe twaalongoyanje nkukulupalila na nkukunda lina lyabho kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo gwabho.
6 Among whom are, ye also, called of Jesus Christ:
Na mmanganyanji nneila peila, nninginji munkumbi gwa bhashemilwenje na a Yeshu Kilishitu, kubha bhandunji bhabho.
7 Unto all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints, favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
Ngunakunnjandishilanga mmowe nninginji ku Loma, nkupingwangwa na a Nnungu na nshemilwenje mmanganje bha ukonjelo. Ngunakunnjujilanga nema na ulele, kwa Atati a Nnungu na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
8 First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced throughout the whole world.
Ngunatandubha kwa kwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu, kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa ligongo lyenunji mmowe, pabha ngulupai yenunji inalunguywa nshilambolyo.
9 For God is, my witness, —unto whom I am rendering divine service in my spirit, in the glad message of his Son, —how incessantly, I am making mention of you
A Nnungu bhungwatumishila kwa ntima gwangu gowe, nkulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone ja Bhana bhabho, ni bhakong'ondela bhangu shinguti kunkumbushilanga mobha gowe.
10 At all times in my prayers, —making supplication—if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;
Ngunatenda nneyo mobha gowe, nkujuga Nnungu kwangu kuti, a Nnungu bhapingaga bhambe malanga, nyiye kunngwenunji agano mobha gano.
11 For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established, —
Pabha ngunalokolila kwa kaje kummonanga, nimpanganje shiukilo sha mmbumu, nkupinga nshimilikwanje.
12 That is to say—there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
Kwa nneyo shitutagane ntima, kila mundu kwa ngulupai jika mwine, ngulupai jenu mmanganyanji, na ngulupai jangu nne.
13 I do not wish however that ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, many times, have I purposed to come unto you, but have been hindered, until the present, —in order that, some fruit, I might have among you also, even as among the other nations,
Ashaalongo ajangunji ngunapinga mmumanyanje kuti, papagwinji nashinkutumbilila kunng'owelanga, ikabheje mpaka nnaino a Nnungu bhashing'ibhilila. Pungupinga na kweneko naapatanje bhandunji bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu Kilishitu, malinga shinaapatilenje mwiilambo ili nngabha ya Bhayaudi.
14 Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am:
Njikola ligambo muntima kwa ligongo lya Bhayunani na bhangalinji Bhayunani. Njikola ligambo ku bhakwetenje lunda na bhangalinji lunda.
15 Thus, the eagerness on my part—unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.
Kwa nneyo nne njiengwa kulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, nkali kungwenunji nninginji ku Loma.
16 For I am not ashamed of the joyful message; for it is God’s power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew [first] and to Greek;
Nne ngakujibhonela oni Ngani ja Mmbone, pabha jenejo, ni mashili ga a Nnungu gapeleshela ntapulo kubhandu bhowe bhaakulupalilanga, kutandubhila ku Bhayaudi na mpaka ku Bhagiliki.
17 For, a righteousness of God, is therein revealed, —by faith unto faith: even as it is written—But, he that is righteous, by faith, shall live.
Pabha Ngani ja Mmbone jinalanguya a Nnungu shibhakuti kwaapanganga bhandunji aki. Lyeneli linatendeka kaje kwa ngulupai, malinga shiishite jandikwa, “Akwete aki shaatame kwa ngulupai.”
18 For there is being revealed an anger of God from heaven—against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, the truth, in unrighteousness, do hold down; —
Kukoposhela kunnungu, a Nnungu bhashilangula nnjimwa jabho ku bhandunji bhakakwaakagulanga a Nnungu, bhaakananga ya kweli kwa itendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone.
19 Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, —
Pabha indu yowe imanyika kuti ya a Nnungu bhaimanyinji, pabha bhayene a Nnungu bhalangwiye indu yabho.
20 For, the unseen things of him, from a world’s creation, by the things made, being perceived, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and divinity, —to the end they should be without excuse; (aïdios )
Indu yaishiywe kuumila bhukala gwa panganywa shilambolyo, nnaino inabhoneka nimanyika, yani liengo lyabho na mashili gabho ga pitipiti na Unnungu gwabho, kupinga bhanakolanje sha bheleketa! (aïdios )
21 Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,
Nkali bhakaamanyanjeje a Nnungu, bhangaakuyanga na wala kwaatendela eja, malinga shiipinjikwa, ikabheje ng'aniyo yabhonji ishipuganyika, na mitima jabhonji jangali lunda jishikwaabhikanga nnubhindu.
22 Professing to be wise, they were made foolish,
Bhanakwitembanga kuti bhashikolanga lunda, mbena bhangumba.
23 And, exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God, for the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts and reptiles:
Bhaleshilenje kwaatindibhalila a Nnungu bha ukonjelo na bha pitipiti, nikuitindibhalila yanamu ili malinga bhandu bhaawanganga, eu mbuti ijuni, eu bhannyama, na bhaatambalanga pai.
24 Wherefore God gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, —
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, a Nnungu gubhaaleshilenje bhakagulanje ilokoli ya nyata ya mmitima jabhonji, na tendelana indu ya nyata nkulabhalabha, nikwiitokomaya iilu yabhonji.
25 Who, indeed, exchanged away the truth of God for the falsehood, and rendered worship and service unto the creature rather than unto the Creator, —who is blessed unto the ages. Amen! (aiōn )
Bhanatindiganyanga indu ya kweli ya a Nnungu nkupinga bhakagulanje ya unami. Bhalitindibhalilanga shiumbe, kuleka kwaatindibhalila bhayene Ashipanganya, bhapinjikwa lumbililwa pitipiti! Amina. (aiōn )
26 For this cause, God gave them up unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, —
Kwa nneyo, a Nnungu bhashikwalekanga bhanaishimiyananje nikagulila ilokoli ya nyata. Nkali bhanabhakongwe, bhashilekanga itendi ya shibhelekwe ya shiilu shabhonji, nitenda sha munape.
27 In like manner also, even the males, leaving the natural use of the female, flamed out in their eager desire one for another, males with males, the indecency, effecting, —and, the necessary recompence of their error, within themselves, duly receiving; —
Nneyo peyo, na bhanabhalume gubhaleshilenje kwaalokolilanga ashaakongo bhabhonji, nilokolilana ashaayenenji. Bhanabhalume gubhatendilenje indu ya nyata, gubhaishemelenje ukumu ashaayenenji, kwa ligongo lya itendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone.
28 And, even as they did not approve to be holding, God, in acknowledgment, God gave them up unto a disapproved mind to be doing the things that are not becoming,
Malinga shibhakanilenje kubha na a Nnungu nng'aniyo yabhonji yangali ya mmbone, a Nnungu gubhaaleshilenje bhaikagulanje ng'aniyo yabhonji, bhatendanje yangali ya mmbone.
29 Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition,
Bhashigumbalilwanga na kila gwangali gwa mmbone, kukwetela, na joloka, na lupimililo, na bhulaga, na mipwai, na unami, na ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone, na bha lung'wenyi.
30 Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding,
Kabhili, bhaalambililanga na bhakwaashimanga a Nnungu, na bhakwetenje nngomo, na bhakwetenje mbwinya na kwiipuna, bhaakumbuyanga itendi ya ambi ya nyata, na bhakakwaapilikanishiyanga bhaakwetenje.
31 Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful: —
Na bhene bhangalinji lunda, na bhakaajalinji malagano, na bhakakwaapinganga ashaalongo ajabhonji, wala bhangalinginji shiya.
32 Who, indeed, having acknowledged the righteous sentence of God, —that, they who such things as these do practise, are worthy of death, not only, the same things, are doing, but are even delighting together with them who are practising [them].
Bhalikumumanyanga kuti shalia ja a Nnungu jinaataya kuti, bhandunji bhatendanga nneyo bhanapinjikwanga kuwa. Nkali nneyo, nngabha bhanatendanga genego ashayenenjipe, ikabheje bhene bhatendanga yeneyo bhala bhanakwaalumbililanga.
