< Romans 16 >
1 [By means of this letter] I am introducing and recommending to you our fellow believer Phoebe, [who will be taking this letter to you]. She is a deacon in the congregation in Cenchrea [city].
nikumuleta kulyumue uFibi ulumbu lyitu juno ghwe m'bombi ghwa tembile jino jili ku Kenkelea,
2 [I request that] you receive her because of her relationship with the Lord. [You should do that because] those who are God’s people ought to receive [their fellow believers]. [I am also requesting] that you help her [by giving her] [EUP] whatever she needs, because she has helped many people, including me.
juno kuuti ndeponu mukumwupila mwa Mutwa. muvambaghe ndikio ku kino kili nlutalama kya vitiki mwimaghe naghwo ku lyolyoni lino iva ilonda ulwakuva umwene alyale m'bombo mbombo ghwa vinga nu vwimila jango june.
3 Tell Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila that I (send greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. They worked with me for Christ Jesus,
mwungilaghe uPilisika nu Akila vavomba mbombo palikimo nune mwa Kilisite Yesu,
4 and they were even willing to die [IDM] in order [to save] my life. It is not only I who thank them [for helping me], but the people in all [HYP] the non-Jewish congregations also [thank them for saving my life].
vano vakavupumwisie uvwumi vwaave vwimila uvwumi vwango, nikuvahongesia na nene june, looli ku tembile sooni isa pa iisi.
5 Also tell the congregation [that meets] in their house that I (send my greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. Tell my dear friend Epaenetus the same thing. He is the first man in Asia [province] who [believed] in Christ.
vahungilaghe ava kutembile jino jilikuveene. mwungilaghe uEpanieto mughanike ghwango, juno ghwe muholua ghwa kwanda mwa Kilisite ku Asia.
6 Tell Mary, who has worked hard [for Christ] in order to [help] you, that I (send my greetings to/am thinking fondly of) her.
mwungilaghe uMaliya juno avombile imbombo ku ngufu vwimila jiinu.
7 Tell the same thing to Andronicus and [his wife] Junia (OR, and [his sister] Junia) who are my fellow Jews and who were also [previously] in prison with me. They are well-known/respected (OR, respected by the) apostles, and they became Christians before I did.
mwungulaghe uAndiniko nu Yunia vamanyani vango kange vadindilua vajango, ve va vahilua mu vasung'ua vano valyalongwile kukunkagula uKilisiye ye nikyale une.
8 I also send my greetings to Ampliatus, who is a dear friend because of his relationship with the Lord.
mwungilaghe uAmpuliato mughanike ghwango mwa Mutwa.
9 I also send my greetings to Urbanus, who works for Christ with us, and to my dear friend Stachys.
mwungilaghe uUlubayo m'bomba mbombo palikimo nune mwa Kilisite, nu Sitakisi mughanike ghwango.
10 I also send my greetings to Apelles, whom Christ has approved [because Apelles successfully endured trials]. Tell the [believers] who [live in the house] of Aristobulus that I send my greetings to them.
mwungilaghe uApele juno itikilue kwa Kilisite. vahungilaghe vooni mu nyumba ja Alisitobulo.
11 Also tell Herodion, who is my fellow Jew, that I send my greetings to him. Tell the same thing to those who [live in the house] of Narcissus who belong to the Lord.
mwungilaghe uHerodioni manyani ghwango. vahungilaghe vooni vano vali mu nyumba ja Nalikiso, vano vali mwa Mutwa.
12 Tell the same thing to Tryphaena and [her sister] Tryphosa, who work hard for the Lord. I also send my greetings to Persis. [We all] love her and she has worked very hard for the Lord.
mwungilaghe uTilifaina nu Trifosa, vano vivomba imbombo mwa Mutwa ku ngufu nyinga. mwaungilaghe uPelisisi mughanike juno ivomba imbombo kukila mwa Mutwa,
13 Tell Rufus, who is an outstanding Christian, that I send my greetings to him. [Tell the same thing to] his mother, [who has treated me as though] I [were her son] [MET].
mwaungilaghe uRufo juno atavulilue mwa Nguluve nu ngiina na mama ghwango.
14 Tell Asyncritus and Phlegon and Hermes and Patrobas and Hermas and the fellow believers who [meet] with them that I am sending my greetings to them.
mwungilaghe uAsinklito, Flegon, Helme, Patroba, Helma na vanyalukolo vooni vano valipalikimo nave.
15 I also send my greetings to Philologus, to [his wife] Julia (OR, [his sister] Julia), to Nereus and his sister, and to Olympas, and to all God’s people who [meet] with them.
nihungile Filologo nu Yulia, uNilea nu lumbulie, nu Olimpa, na vitiiki vooni vano vali palikimo naveene.
16 Greet one another affectionately, but in a pure way, [when you gather together]. The [believers in] all the Christian congregations [HYP] [in this area (send their] greetings to/say they are thinking fondly of) you.
nihungile umuunhu ghweni nu lunonelo ulwimike. itembile sooni sikuvahungila mwa Kilisite.
17 My fellow believers, I exhort you that you beware of those people who are causing divisions among you and who cause people to turn away [from God] [MTY] [because they teach things that] are contrary to the message [about Christ] that you have learned (OR, that others taught you). Keep away from such people!
lino nikuvasuuma vanyalukolo mu saghaghe ku avuo vano vitengulisia kupalasana na ifipighi. viluta kinsana ni mbulanisio sino muvulanisivue. syetuka muhume ku veene.
18 They do not serve our Lord Christ! On the contrary, they only want to satisfy their own desires [MTY]! Also, by all the eloquent things that they say [DOU] they deceive those people who do not realize [that their teaching is false].
ulwakuva avaanhu ndavule ava navikum'bombela uKilisite Mutwa, looli amaleme ghave vavuo. ku masio ghave amanono nu luhongesio lwa vudesi vikughasyanga amoojo gha vasila makole.
19 [Believers] everywhere know that you have paid attention to [the good message about Christ], with the result that I rejoice about you. But I also want you to be wise, [with the result that you do] what is good. I also want you to avoid doing what is evil.
ku kihwani kya vwitiki vwinu mukunfikila umuunhu ghweni. pe lino nikuvahovokela, neke nilonda umue muvisaghe nu vukoola mu vunono, namungavisaghe nu nkolepavulongolo pa vuhosi.
20 [If you avoid people who teach what is false], what will [soon happen] [MET] [will be as though] God, who causes us to be peaceful, will be crushing Satan under your feet! [I pray that] our Lord Jesus will continue to act kindly towards you.
uNguluve naidila kukum'buda uSetano paasi pa sajo sinu. uvumosi vwa Mutwa Yesu Kilisite vuvisaghe palikimo numue.
21 Timothy, who works with me, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, who are my fellow Jews, [want you to know that they are] (sending their greetings to/thinking fondly of) you.
uTimoti, umbomba mbombo palikimo nune ikuvahungila, uLukio, Yasoni nu Sosipita avamanyani vango.
22 I, Tertius, [one who belongs to] the Lord, [also want you to know] that I am (sending my greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. [I am writing this letter as Paul tells me what to write for him].
une ne Tetio nejuno nilembile ikalata iji, nikuvahungila ku litavua lya Mutwa.
23 I, [Paul], am staying in the house of Gaius, and the whole congregation [here meets] in his house. He [also wants you to know] that he is (sending his greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. Erastus, the treasurer of [this] city, also [wants you to know that] he is (sending his greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. Our fellow believer Quartus also (sends his greetings to you./says he is thinking fondly of you.)
uGayo juno alyanivikile na kutembile joni, jikuvahungila. uElasito, m'bika kitule ghwa mpulo palikimo nu kwalito juno nyalkolo vikuvahungila.
“uvumosi vwa Mutwa Yeesu Kilisite vukalaghe numue mweni. Ameni”
25 As [I] proclaim [the good message about] Jesus Christ, [I tell about God], the one who is able to strengthen you [spiritually]. I also proclaim the [truth] that was not revealed {which [God] did not reveal} in all previous ages/times (aiōnios )
lino kwa mwene unyangufu isa kuvomba mwime kuling'aana ni livangili ni mbulanisio sa Yesu Kilisite, kuling'ana nu lusyetulilo vwa sino sifisilue ku nsiki ntali, (aiōnios )
26 but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios )
neke lino jikagulike na malembe gha vuvili kuling'ana lulaghilo lwa Nguluve ghwa fighono fya kusila na kusila, ku vwitiki vwa lwitiko mu iisi simonga? (aiōnios )
27 [I desire that by] Jesus Christ [enabling us, we] will forever praise the one who alone is God, who alone is [truly] wise. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
kwa Nguluve unya vukoola mwene, kukilila uYesu Kilisite, kuvisaghe nuvutwa amaka ghooni. Amina (aiōn )
