Romans 1

1 [I], Paul, who serve Christ Jesus, [am writing this letter]. God chose me to be an apostle, and I was appointed by him {he appointed me} in order that [I should proclaim] (the good message/the gospel) that [comes from him].

Hagi nagra Poli'na, Krais Jisasi kazokzo eri'za ne'mo'na, Anumzamo aposol eri'za erio huno huhamprinanteno, Knare Musenke'a huama hanugu nazeri ruotge hunantene.

2 Long before [Jesus came to earth, God] promised [that he would reveal] this good message by means of what his prophets [wrote] in the sacred Scriptures.

Ama'na Knare Musenkea korapa Anumzamo'a huvempa kea kasnampa vahe'amokizmi zamasamige'za, Ruotge Avontafepi krente'naze.

3 This good message is [about the one whom we know as] his Son. As to his Son’s physical/human nature, he was born a descendant of [King] David.

E'i ana Mofavre'a Deviti naga nofipinti, ne'mo ama mopafi avufga erino efore hu'ne.

4 As to his divine nature, it was shown {[God] showed} powerfully that he is (God’s own Son/the man who is also God). [God] showed this by his Holy Spirit causing him to become alive again after he died. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hagi Ruotge Avamumo'a hihamu'ane huama huno, Anumzamofo Mofavre fripinti azeri oti'negeta, Jisas Kraisi'a Rantimo'e nehune.

5 He is the one who appointed me, who did not deserve it, [to be] an apostle. He did that in order that [many] among the non-Jews would honor [him] and would obey him as a result of their believing [my message about him].

Jisas Kraisi azampi Anumzamo'a asunku huranteno, Agri agifi Anumzamo'a aposol eri'zama miko megi'a vahetema erisunku huhampritantene. E'ina hu'negu zamagra Agri Agifina amagera nente'za zamentintia hugahaze.

6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.

Tamagranena Jisas Kraisi nagare hu'zama mani'naza nagapi mani'naze.

7 [I am writing this letter] to all of [you in Rome] whom God loves and whom he has chosen [to become his] people. [I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will [continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.

Anumzamo'ma tamavesinteno kema higeta mika Romu kumate mani ruotge hutma mani'naza nagamotarega, Anumza Nafatimofone Rantimofo Jisasi Kraisi asunku'zamo'ene, rimpa fruzamo'a tamagrane megahie.

8 As I begin [this letter], I thank my God for all you [believers in Rome]. It is because of [what] Jesus Christ [has done for us that] I [am able to do that]. I thank him because your trusting [in Jesus Christ] is something that people all over [the Roman Empire] [HYP] are talking about.

Hagi kota'zana, Jisas Kraisi agifi, Anumzani'amofona maka'motamagura susu huntue. Na'ankure tamagra tamentintima hazazamofonkea, mika kotega huama nehaze.

9 God, whom I devotedly serve as I [proclaim to people] the gospel concerning his Son, knows that I tell the truth when I say that I always mention you whenever [DOU] I pray [to God] [HYP].

Na'ankure Anumzamofoma nagra maka nagu'aretima eri'zama'a erinente'na, Nemofo Knare Musenkema huama nehumo, tamagriku'ma nentahi'na nunamuma nehuazana, nageno antahino nehie.

10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.

Mika zupa nunamuma hufina, Anumzamofo avesima me'nesige'na, tamagritegama esugura nunamuna huvava nehue.

11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].

Na'ankure tamagri'ma eme neramage'na, Avamumofo musezama nagripi me'neazama nerami'nugeno, tamazeri hanavetisia zankura tusiza huno navenesie.

12 I long to visit you in order that you and I might encourage each other [by means of our sharing with each other] how each of us trusts [in Jesus].

E'i ana zana, tamagri tamentintima azeri hankaveti ke neramasami'nena, nagri'enena ana zanke huta nazeri hanaveti kea nenasamisageta tamentintifina oti hanavetita manigahune.

13 My fellow believers, many times I planned to visit you. I certainly want you to know [LIT] that. [But I have not been able to come to you because] I have been hindered {[things] have always prevented me} until the present time. I have wanted to come in order that I might help you to mature spiritually [IDM], as [I have helped people to mature spiritually] in many other non-Jewish groups [HYP].

Nafuhetane nasaraheta antahisazegu nehue. Nagra nantu eme antenermantena eri'za tamagripi enerisugeno, megi'a nagapi hu'neaza huno Avamumofo raga'a tamagripima efore hanigena kesua zankura, rama'a zupa antahintahini'a retro hu'noanagi mago'a zamo nazerigena, omena mani'nogeno menina ama knarera ehanatie.

14 I feel obliged [to proclaim the gospel to all non-Jewish people], specifically to [people who know] the Greek [language and culture] and to those who do not know it, to people who are educated and to those who are uneducated.

Eri'za eri'na, Griki vahe'ene, ko knafi vahekna vahe'ene antahintahiza me'nea vahe'ene, antahintahiza omne vahe'mokizmine, zamaza hanugu nagrira hunante'ne.

15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.

E'ina hu'negu Romu kumate mani'naza nagamotarega, Anumzamofo Knare Musenkema eme huama hu'na tamasami zankura tusi'za huno nave'nesie.

16 [That leads me to say that] I very confidently proclaim [LIT] the good message [about what Christ has done], because this good message is the powerful [means] that God [uses] to save [from the guilt of their sins] all people who trust [in what Christ has done for them]. Specifically, God first has saved the Jews [who believe the good message], and then he has saved non-Jews.

Hagi Kraisi Knare Musenkema huama'ma huzankura nagazea nosue. Na'ankure e'i Anumzamofo hanave'a anampina me'neankino, iza'zo zamentintima hanamokizmia zmahonekeno, Jiu vahe esera zamavareteno, anante megi'a vahera zamavaregahie.

17 By means of this good message God reveals how he erases the record of people’s sins (OR, declares people no longer guilty for having sinned); and his doing this is entirely because [IDM] they trust [in Christ. This is confirmed] by what [a prophet long ago] wrote [that God said], “Those (whose record of sin [I] have erased/whom [I] have declared no longer guilty for sin) because they trust [in me] will live [forever].”

Na'ankure ama ana Knare Musenkefi, Anumzamo'ma fatgo avu'avaza hurante'nea avu'avamo'a efore hu'ne. Eri agafa hu'nereti'ma vuno vagarete'ma uhanatisiana, amentintima hu'zamo azeri ruotagera hugahie. Avontafepina huno, Fatgo vahe'mo'za zamentinti zanteti zamasimura eri'za manigahaze hu'ne. (Hab 2:4.)

18 From [where God rules in] heaven he is making it clear to all [non-Jewish] people who show no respect for God and who do wicked things, that he is angry with them [and that they deserve to be punished] {[that he would punish them]} [MTY]. By means of [their behaving] wickedly, they keep other people [from believing what they know] to be true [about God].

Na'ankure Anumzamo'a, Agra'a monafinkatira rimpahezana eri'ama huno, Anumzamofo fatgo avu'ava nosu'za, fatgo osu zamavu'zmava nehaza vahe'mo'zama ana zamuzmateti'ma, tamage kemofoma rentrako nehaza vahera ha'rezamantegahie.

19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].

Na'ankure Anumzamofoku'ma ke'za antahi'zama huzantmina amunozmifina ama hu'ne. Na'ankure ko Anumzamo'a avu'ava zama'a eriama huno zamaveri hu'ne.

20 [People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios g126)

Hakare zama tro'ma higeno fore'ma hu'neregatima e'neana, Anumzamofo mevava avu'ava zana ke'naze. Hianagi hakare'zama eri fore'ma huneregati'ma e'neana hakare zamo'a Anumzamo'ma tro hunte'nea avamente me'nege'za vahe'mo'za negaze. E'i ana agafare Anumzamofo oku me'nea hankave efore hige'za negazankiza, vahe'mo'za onke'none hu'za osugahaze. (aïdios g126)

21 Although [the non-Jews] knew what God [is like], they did not honor him as God, nor did they thank [him for what he had done]. But instead, they began to think foolish [things about him], and they became unable to understand [MET] [what he wanted them to know].

Hu'negu Anumzamofona ke'za antahi'za hu'nezagi, zamagra Anumzane hu'za ra agi'a nomi'za, humuse hunontaze. Hagi zamagri'a neginagi antahintahizamo zamazeri savri hige'za, zamagu'amo'a hanizampi neme.

22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,

Zamagra antahi'zane vahe mani'none hu'za nehazanagi, zamagra neginagi vahe fore nehaze.

23 and they refused to [admit that] God is glorious and will never die. Instead, they made and worshipped idols [that resembled people who] will some day die, and [then they made other idols that resembled] birds and four-footed animals, and [finally] they made idols that resembled reptiles.

Hagi zamagra manivava Anumzamofo ra agima amigazana, erimare'za fri'naza vahe'mofo amema'agi, namaramimofo amema'agi, 4'a agazane zagagafamofo amema'agi, zmurugufati vano nehaza zagaramimofo amema'a tro hunte'naza zante ra agi nemize.

24 So God allowed [the non-Jews] do immoral sexual things that they [SYN] strongly desired, things [that their desires were compelling them to do]. As a result, they [began to] dishonor each other’s bodies [by their sexual actions].

E'ina hu'nagu Anumzamo'a zmatrege'za, zamagra zamaguareti zamavesintaza kefo avu'avazampi unefre'za, kefoza huno havizantfa hu'nea avu'avaza zamagra zamufgare ohunte ahunte nehu'za, zamufga eri haviza hu'naze.

25 Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn g165)

Hagi Anumzamofo tamage kea, havigereti eri revahe nehu'za, Anumzamo'ma Agra'a tro'ma hunte'nea zagaraminte monora hunte'za amage nente'za troma hu'nea Anumzamofona ra agia amivava hugazanagi anara nosaze. Tamage. (aiōn g165)

26 So, God allowed [the non-Jews to do] shameful [sexual] things that they [strongly] desired. As a result, many women did not have natural sexual relations [with their husbands] [EUP]. Instead, they were doing sexual actions with other women [EUP].

Ama anahu agafare Anumzamo'a zamatrege'za, vahe'mofoma agaze ami avu'avazamofo zamavesi zampi havi zamavu'zmavara nehaze. Ane'mo'za osuga zamavu'zmava hu'za zamagra zamagra monko zamavu'zmavara nehaze.

27 Similarly, [many] men stopped having/did not have natural sexual relations with women [EUP]. Instead, they strongly desired to have sexual relations with other men. They committed [homosexual] acts with other men, acts that were shameful. As a result, [God has] punished them [by sicknesses] in their bodies, which is what they deserve [because] they [thought] wrongly [that God would not punish them for doing that].

Anahukna hu'za venene'mo'za a'nene veazana hugazanagi, netre'za, venenemo'za zamagra zamagra monkozama hu'zanku tusiza huno zamavenesige'za, zamagaze hu avu'avaza zamagra zamagra nehaze. Ana kumima hazazamofo, mizama'a zamagra'a zamata enerize.

28 Furthermore, because they decided that it was not [worthwhile] to know God, he allowed their own worthless thoughts [to completely control them]. As a result, they began doing [evil] things that [God says that people] should not do.

Zamagrama Anumzamofo zamefi hunte'za agorga'ama omani'nazana neginagi zane hu'za nehaza zanku, Anumzamo'a atregeno havi antahintahizazmimo rentrako hige'za, osuga avu'ava zana nehaze.

29 They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] unrighteous [things]. They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] evil things [to others]. They strongly desire to possess things that [belong to others]. They strongly desire to harm [others] in various ways. [Many non-Jews] are constantly envying [other people. Many] constantly desire to murder [people. Many] constantly desire to cause strife [between people. Many] constantly desire to deceive [others. Many] constantly desire to speak hatefully [about others] (OR, [to speak harmful things about others, things that are not true]). [Many] gossip [about others].

Zamagripina hakare havi kefo avu'ava zamo'a avitege'za, kefo zmuzma nehu'za, veva osu agraguke antahi'zane, vahe'mofo avesi onte'zama, antahi mugizama, vahe ahefri'zama, ke ha' huza kanive oreare hu'zama, krunage hu'zama, vahe'mofo fruge huonte'zama, vahe'mofo amefi ke hu'zane,

30 [Many] slander [others. Many] act especially hatefully toward God. [Many] speak or act in an insulting way [toward others. Many] treat others contemptuously. [Many] boast [about themselves to others. Many] invent new ways to do evil things. [Many non-Jewish children] disobey their parents.

31 [Many non-Jews] act in other morally foolish ways. [Many] do not do what they promised [others that they would do. Many] do not [even] love [their own family members. And many] do not act mercifully [toward other people].

E'inahu vahepina knare antahintahizana omanegeno, rumofoma antahimizana omanegeno, vahe'mofoma avesinteno, asunku hunte'zana omane'ne.

32 Although they know that God has declared that those who do such things deserve to be killed, they not only habitually do these [kinds of evil] things, but they also approve of others who habitually do them.
