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].

Hiche lekhathot hi Christa Yeshua soh, solchah hidinga Pathen lhendoh, Ama Kipana Thupha seiphong dinga kisoldoh, Paul'a kon ahi:

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.

Hiche Kipana Thupha malaipeh'a Pathen in Lekhabu thenga a-Themgao ho ana thutepsa,

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.

Kipana Thuphahi Achapa thudol ahi. Ama chu leiset ahinkho'a Leng David insunga ana penga ahi,

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.

Chule Ama chu Lhagaotheng thahat'a athilah a kona kaithouva aum chun, Pathen Chapa chu avetsah tai. Ama Yeshua Christa i-Pakaiyu chu ahi.

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].

Christa jal'a Pathen in solchah hina chanpha le thuneina eipeh uhi muntina chidang namdangte, Pathen in abolpeh-u seipeh a, amahon atahsanuva chule seingai ahi diu chu Amin loupina ding ahiye.

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

Chule nangho jong Yeshua Christa a dinga hiche chidang namdang akikou ho lah a napan'u ahitai.

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.

Rome khopia um Pathen ngailu ho chule Ama mithengte hiding a kikouho jouse dinga jih a kahi.

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.

Keiman nangho jouse henga kasei masah nom chu, keiman Ka Pathen chu Yeshua Christa jal'in kathangvah-e, ajehchu Ama natahsanu thu chu vannoi mun jousea kisei ahitai.

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].

Keima nangho dinga taojom jinga kahi hi Pathen ahetoh ahi. Sun le jan'in kalung pumpia a-Chapa Kipana Thupha seiphonga kapanna ahin, nangho le nangaichat-u thudol'a Pathen henga taova kahi.

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

Kataona ajeh pipen khat chu, Pathen phatsah a phat kijenpet kamua, nangho achaina pena hung mu noma kahi hi ahi.

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

Ajehchu keiman nangho hungvil kanop'a chutia chu nangho Pakaiya nahatdoh theina dinguva kithopia Lhagao thilpeh hungpeh ding kati nahiuve.

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].

Eiho ikikhop khom tenguleh, keiman natahsan nauva tilkhou ding kanom'in, chule nanghoa kona jong kitilkhou ding kakinemin ahi.

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].

Sopi deitahte, nangho hungvil ding tamtahvei kana gongin, hinla tuchan hin eisumo aum jinge. Keiman chidang namdang mi adanghoa kon'a kamu tobang'in, nangho lah a jong toh'a chule Lhagao ga mu kanom'e.

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.

Keiman khantouna vannoi leiset miho umna mun'a hihen, mun danga lekhathem le athemlou lah hijongle mopohna lentah neiyin kakigel'e.

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

Hiti chun, keima jong Rome khopia nangho henga hunga Kipana Thupha seiphong ding kanom'e.

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.

Ajehchu, keima hiche Christa Kipana Thupha chung chang thua hin kajah achapoi. Hichea hi Pathen thahat in na atoh a, atahsan chan chu ahuhhing ahi; Judahte masa ding chule chidang namdangte jong hiding ahi.

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].”

Hiche Kipana Thupha hin Pathen in amitmua iti chonpha eisemu ham ti eihiluve. Hiche hi akipat'a pat achaina gei tahsan jal ahi. Pathen thubun asei dung juiyin, “Tahsan vanga michonpha chun hinna anei ahi,” kitia ahi.

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].

Ahin Pathen in michonse, migilou agitlou nauva thutah sunem ho dou dingin, alunghanna Van'a kon'in ahin vetsah in ahi.

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

Amahon Pathen thudol thutah chu aheuve, ajehchu Aman amaho ahetsah masah ahitai.

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)

Ajehchu vannoi kisema pat mihon leiset le van amu'uve. Pathen in athilsem jousea kon hin, Ama mutheilou ahina gunneina ho kichentah in amuuvin, tonsot athaneina le Pathen ahina chonna ho geiya ahet'u ahi. Hitichun, Pathen ahetlou jeh uva them achanna dingu aumpoi. (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].

Ahin, amahon Pathen aheuve, hinlah amahon Pathen houvin ahou nom pouve, ahilouleh thangvahna apenom pouve. Chule amahon alunggel uva Pathen chu itobang ahidem ti ngolhoi lunggel aneiyuve. Hitichun, alung gelu athi'in chule alungu anohphah dentai.

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

Ching tah a akiseinau chun angolsah gamu ahitai.

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.

Chule loupitah tonsot'a hing jing Pathen hou louvin, amahon semthu, mihem le vacha, ganhing le a-oma kithola limho asemun ahou-uve.

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].

Hitichun, Pathen in amaho chu alung ngaichat-u dungjuiya jachat umtah boldoh dinga anungsun ahitai. Hichea kona chu, khat'in khat chunga atibah-u chu abol diuva, thenlouna lama apehdoh ahitai.

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)

Amahon Pathen dihtah chu kiveinan, jouvin alheng tauve. Hitichun, amahon Asempau tah chu hou sangin, Pathen thilsemsa chu ahou'un chule ajen'ui, Ama chula tonsot'a vahchoi dinga lomtah ahi, Amen. (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].

Hijeh chun, Pathen in amaho chu ajachatnau lung ngaichat uva chu anungsun ahitai. Numei ho jeng jong angai dola kitimatna tibah aneiyu chu akale lamin amangchauvin, numei le numei kitimat nom'in, kingaichaton aum gamtauve.

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].

Chule Pasal ho jong numeito kingaichat tona neija lupkhomgo talouvin, pasal chun pasal akichenpi chu ngaichat nan adimun ahi. Pasal in a-pasal chanpi chunga jachat umtah abol'un, chutichun, hiche chonset boljeh hin, amahon tahsa chunga gimna achandiu dol cheh akimu'un ahi.

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.

Amahon Pathen phondoh ding ngolhoija ageljeh un, aman amaho angolnau lunggel chu donlouva akoiya chule amaho chun abollou beh dingu abolu ahitai.

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].

Ahinkho man'u chu, gitlouna tincheng, chonset, kiloset, mithetbol, milop, mitha, kidou-kinah, kiduhabol, dou lungput, chule kiseiset abol'ui.

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.

Amaho nunglama kona misunji ahiuvin, Pathen ahotbol'un, giloutah, kiletsahtah chule ham hoithoa ahiuve. Amahon chonset thah alamdoh uvin, chule amaho anuleh apateu thua nunglou ahiuve.

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].

Hetna neiding ago pouvin, akitep nau sukeh a ahiuvin, lungthim bei ahiuvin, chule hepina neilou ahiuve.

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.

Amahon Pathen thutan dihna chun hitobang bol ho chu thi dinga lom ahiuve ti aheuvin, hinla aboltei tei uve. Akhohcheh chu, amahon midang chu chutobang bol ding'in atilkhou'un ahi.
