Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad-message 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 promised beforehand, through his prophets, in holy scriptures—
I korerotia ra e ia i mua, ara e ana poropiti i roto i nga karaipiture tapu,
3 Concerning his Son, —who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,
Mo tana Tama, i whanau nei he uri no Rawiri, no te wahi ki te kikokiko;
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;
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 have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,
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, called of Jesus Christ:
No ratou nei hoki koutou, he mea karanga hei hunga mo Ihu Karaiti:
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.
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 First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced 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, —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
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 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;
E inoi ana me kore e pai te Atua kia whakatikaia taku haere atu ki a koutou.
11 For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established, —
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 to say—there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
Ara kia ora ngatahi o tatou ngakau, toku i to koutou whakapono, o koutou i toku.
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,
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 Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am:
He nama kei runga i ahau na nga Kariki, a na nga Tautangata, na te hunga mohio, a na te hunga whakaarokore.
15 Thus, the eagerness on my part—unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.
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 joyful message; for it is God’s power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew [first] and to Greek;
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, 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.
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 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; —
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 Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, —
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, 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 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 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,
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 were made foolish,
I a ratou e mea ana he mohio ratou, na ka wairangi,
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:
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 gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, —
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 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 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 unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, —
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 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; —
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, 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,
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 Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition,
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 Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding,
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 Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful: —
Kahore o ratou matauranga, he hunga kupu taka, kahore nei he aroha, kahore e tohu tangata:
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].
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.
