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].
Paul kuchin Yisa Kirsti, na ina yichilagne gono kadura, inin yisagne bara katuwa in nliru nlai Kutelle.
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.
Urika na awa tinari utai nan nya nliru ulau kiti nanan kadurame.
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.
kitenen saune, na iwa marugne kuwunun Dauda, nan nya kidowo.
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.
Iwa woro ameh gono kutelleri nnuzun fip mi lau, ninfitume nan nya kisek, Yisa Chikilaribit Kirsti.
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].
Bari ameh, tinaseru ubollu Kutelle nwo tiso nono kadura meh, nin dortun nliru meh, nan nya inyinnu sa uyenu, vat inyi, bara lisameh.
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
Nan nya nipinpin inyee, anung wang ina yichala minu nan nya Yisa Kirsti.
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.
Vat mine na indin Romawa, anan kinayi Kutelle, tutun nin nale na iwayichila ani iso anit alau; ubollu Kutelle kitimine, nin lisosin liman nnuzu kiti Kutelle nin Chikilari bit Yisa Kirsti.
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.
Inchizina nin godoh Kutelle bari Yisa Kirsti kitemine vat, bara ubellun inyinnun sa uyenu mine di vat inyi.
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].
Kutelleri iyizi in mbani, ulena indigne katuwa nan nya nfip micine nin, nan nya nliru nlai ngonome, na ndin bellu ubelen minegne kolomeliri.
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
ko inshi nan nya nliranin, indin tiru kolomelibau ndunimalin inse unuzu gegeme nene, nan nyan inyinnun Kutelle ndak kitimine.
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
Aye di nwo inyene munu, nnan filin munu ufillun nfip michine, ntimunu iti agang,
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].
nnan naminu likara na kolon nan nya mine, nan nya inyinnu sa uyenu kogha mine, nin unag.
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].
Nene na ayedi iso sa uyinnun wo nworsu nuwana, aye din ndak kitimine, inale asa inazai mu, nenere bara nnanse iburi nan nya mine nafo na iwadi nan nya na wurmi. vat
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.
Meng unan rewari, kiti Nawurmi nin nanan nmin ndas, vat anit alalan nin najiji.
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
Bara meng, inkyle litinin nbelluminu nlirun nlai anug na idin Rome.
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.
Yenen, na meng din lanzu inchin nliru nlaiba, bara likara Kutelleri udun ntuchun kogha na ayinna sa uyenu, inchizinu nin na Yahudawa udu nawurmi.
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].”
In nan nyere udiru kulapi Kutelle wa pun libau inyinnu sa uyenu udu uyinnun sa uyenu, nafo na idin nya niyerte, “Anan diru kulapi mati ulai libau inyinnu sa uyenu.”
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].
Tinanayi Kutelle wa pun kidowo nnuzu kitenekani, kiti nanan sali feu Kutelle nin na nit anan kulapi, arikana bara kulapi ina cheu kidegen.
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
bara ile imon na idi kiti Kutelle idi kana in yenju mine, Kutelleri na pun nani nkanan inyenjee.
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)
Imon irikana idi yenjeba kitime, idi kanan uworsu kubi makeke inyi, na uyine wa dak kiti nimon irika na ana ke, wati nan nya likara me sa sa ligan nin yenju nimon makekeme, inan senani sa udiru nimon bellu. (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].
Bari dai iyiru ubelle Kutelle, na ina ghantigne nafo Kutelleba, na ina nigne ugodoba, inin ta alalan nan nya kpiluzu mine, nibinayin mine siro.
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
Npilu natimine au idi jiji inin ta alala.
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.
Iwasu kusere ghantinu Kutelle sa unanu, nin yenju nimon na nit asirne in nanu, ayin, inawan ntene nabunu ananas, nin nimon inwunu liburi.
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].
Bara nani Kutelle wa ni ani ndu ntok nibinayi nin dirun lau mine, bara nidowo mine se udirun ghantinu nan nya mine,
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)
inun na inasu kusere kidegen Kutelle nin kinu, inayita achin makeke isuna unan kewe ule na adi ninmari sa ligan usonani. (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].
Baranani; Kutelle na nakpa ani ndu kiti nimon dirun ghantinu, nin sun lantizu mang mine, awani mine dinsuzu kusere nimon makeke Kutelle nin ninnimon makeke na nit asirne.
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].
Nanere wang, nalilime mine nchino katuwa Kutelle mine nin nawani, inanin din jujuzu atimine nin ntok nati, nalilime din suzu nin nalilime imon irika na iwansu nin nawani, awani wang in suzu nemon irika na iwasu nin nalilime inun ani din suze nin nawani, inun ani din sesu kusere nalapi mine chot libau nwulu mine.
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.
Nanita na inun yina nin Kutelle nan nyan nyinu mineba, Amile na sun nani nan nya nibinayi ni fang, isu imon irika na idi chaut ba.
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].
Vat mine nkulo nin dirun suzu nimon ichine, likara linanza, uchisunizi, ukpilizu unanzan, inani nin kulun nin liyarin, kimolo, ivira, karusuzo, uminu kibinayi kinannazan.
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.
Idinin kubellum, unanzulisa, anan nari Kutelle, anan nnung, nin lanzu nin natimine, anan fofigiri, anan nutuzunu nimon inanzan, anan salin lanzu nliru ale na imachani.
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].
Na idinin yiruba; na umon wasa ayina nin ghunuba, sa ulantizun mang ni mon ichine, sa nkune kune.
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.
Idinin yiru nile mon na Kutelle, inyinamun, au ale na idin suzu nile imon na Kutelle narimu chau iku, inale na idinsuzu nimonere chas ba, iyinna nin nale na idin suzai.
