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 lokv, apostol akobv gaknam Kristo Jisu gv pakbu akobv rinv okv alvnv yunying minggo kardubv Pwknvyarnv gv goklin kunamv.

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.

Pwknvyarnv gv alvnv yunying ngv krimklu lokv ninyigv nyijwk lo milv pvvto, Darwknv kitap lo vbv lvklwk toku.

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.

So si ninyigv umvuu lvkwnglo, ngonugv Ahtu Jisu kristo: vbv adwnamar bv, Hv Dabid gv husi ara lokv bvnglin toku;

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.

Ninyigv darwknv gv Dow hvvrong jvjvbv, kairungnv jwkrw lokv kaatam la Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo rinam lokv siku nvngv turkur toku.

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].

Ninyigv lokv Pwknvyarnv ngam Apostol ako bv ridubv kristo gv amin lo jito, vbv orto kunam lokv diringmooku gv nyi mvnwng nga rigv mola mvngjwng modu kubv okv tvvnvgobv rimu dukubv ritoku.

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

Si Rom lo doonv, yvvnyi Pwknvyarnv gv Jisu kristo gvbv gokpvdw nonua ka mintak dunv.

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.

Okv vkvlvgabv Rom lo doonv Pwknvyarnv gv paknam nyi dvdv nga okv ninyigv atubogv gvbv gokunam am ngo lvkdunv: Ngonugv Pwknvyarnv Abu okv Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv anyuaya okv sarsopoyo ngv nonu gvlo jilwk yilaka.

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.

Atuakebv, Jisu kristo amin lo nonu mvnwng lvgabv ngokv Pwknvyarnvnyi ngo umbonyikv vdunv, ogulvgavbolo nonugv mvngjwng nam lvkwng bv nyiamooku mvnwng ngv tvvpa nyadung duku.

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].

Ngo ogugo mindudw sum jvjv dunv vla ngoogv Pwknvyarnv tvvyakaya do— ninyigv Kuunyilo lvkwnglo alvnv yunying nga ngoogv japgo karla haapok lokv ridum jikunamv Pwknvyarnv ngv. Pwknvyarnv ngv chindu ngo nonua mvngpa kidunv

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

Ngoogv kumri dwkibv kumpa dunv. Nonugv dooku lo ngam vjak vngmuchamu nam lvgabv Pwknvyarnvnyi ngo ninyigv mvnglwkkaalwk bvka vla tvvka doonv.

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

Nonua ngo achialv bv kaanwng dunv, vkvlvgavbolo darwknam boktalwkjinamv gwlwk alvbv nonu gvlo doolwk jimu dukubv.

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].

Ngo mindunv si oguvvbolo bunyino la okv ngo lvvyin akinbv mvdur minsu lareku, ngoogv mvngjwng lokv nonu okv nonugv mvngjwng lokv ngo.

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].

Nonu mvnggap runglaka, ngokv ajin vdw, si ngo nonua kaarwk sidubv achialvgo gwngkwng toku, vbvrijvka rigv nyikibv vbv vnglinrilin paamabv ribvto. Jentail kvvbi vdwa ngoogv rinam aingbv, nonugv ara loka mvngdin mola aamu dukubv mvngdu kunv.

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.

Ngo gvlo nyi mvnwng lvgabv, chinvpanv jvka okv chinvpanv majvka, puripupanv jvka okv puripupanv majvka minsvrisv go doodunv.

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

Vkvlvgabv ngo nonua okv Rom lo doonvdaknv vdwaka Alvnv Yunying nga japji nwngdunv.

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.

Gamlv am ngo alvjvjv rungbv mvngjwng rungdunv; si Pwknvyarnv gv jwkrwv mvngjwng la doobu dvdv nga ringnam lvgabv, atuake bv jius vdwa okv Jentail vdwaka ringlin reku.

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].”

Holvgabv Pwknvyarnv atubongv nyi vdwa ninyi gvlo tarwkbak dukubv mvkunama um gamlv ngv kaatamdo; si mvngjwngnam lokv atuake gvngv laala yikula ataranya gobv rire. Darwknv kitap ngv vbv mindu, “yvvnyiv Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak bv doodudw mvngjwng nam lokv turla dooreku.”

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].

Pwknvyarnv gv haachi namv rimur dvdvlo okv alvmanv nyi vdwgv jvjvrungnv am chimu madubv mvturla oogv alvmanv lamtv lo rigvnv vdwgv lvkwngbv nyidomooku tolo gvngv kaatam la ritoku.

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

Pwknvyarnv bunu vdwa mvritririt toku, ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv gv lvkwnglo ogunv chinsv vdw bunu vdwv chinpu bv chinla toku, vkvlvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv atubongv um chinpu dubv mvjitoku.

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)

Krimklu lokv nyiamookua pwklinyarlin yilo gvngv laala yikula, ninyigv kaapa manam raying nga, ninyigv turbwngnv jwkrw lokv okv ninyigv Darwkrungnv doodung sunv so anyi lokv, rvbwngching bv kaabwk toku; bunu vdwa soogv ogumvnwng si Pwknvyarnv gv mvpvkunv mvngmu toku. Vkvlvgabv ho nyi vdwa yvvnyika ayeako namgo kaamare! (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].

Bunu vdwv Pwknvyarnvnyi chindo, vbvrijvka bunu vdwv Ninyigvbv mvnglwk sula mvngdv jimadu, vmajeka ninyia umbonyikv vlaka mimadu. Vbvmayabvku, bunugv tuktumv mvngdung kaama nvbv riduku, okv bunugv tuktum arochoko lo kanvtwng yalwk duku.

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

Hv bunu mindu bunu vdwv chinvpanv ngv vdu, vbvrijvka bunu vdwv nyiposoyo nvgobv ridu.

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.

Sikamajinv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumji koloya, bunu vdwv siyajinv nyi jvbv kaadubv mvringmvma tvla vmalo pvta vmalo svnwngsvmin vmalo doojingburu am mvringmvma tvla kumnya la ridu.

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].

Okv vkvlvgabv vkvnv nyi kasingkanyaknv rilwkdolwk dubv haapok mvngnv bunu vdwa Pwknvyarnv jilwk jito, okv bunugv ajinanying lokv hinyinghiru rinam lo ridukalam mola rimu duku.

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)

Mvvnam lvgabv Pwknvyarnv lvkwnglo jvjvrungnv nga bunu vdwv mvlomvk jila ritoku, Pwknvyarnv ogugunyi yarpvdw bunu vdwv um kumlajola rijiyala ritoku, Pwknvyarnvnyi dvbvsingtambv hartvbamtv yabv la rise yanga! 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].

Vkvlvgabv bunu vdwv so vbvrikulo, Pwknvyarnv bunua hinyinghiru sakduk namlo jilwk toku. Nyimv vdwka bunugv nyimvnyilo gv ridung jvjvlo rimisinam sum riku mabv nvgwngbv rimisingmi sinyala riduku.

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].

Oogv apia bv nyilo vdwvka nyimvnyilo gv ridung jvjvlo riku mabv nvgwngbv rimi sinyala riduku okv ajinanying lo sakduk kalam minsula ridu. Nyilo vdwv vbv ajinanying lo vkvnv rimisila rinamv, okv kaka kunamv bunu awgv rimur nam lvgabv bunu atubogv aolo mvrit kosv nga hv bunu laalwk sila ridu.

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.

Ogulvgavbolo oogv nyi vdwv Pwknvyarnv gv lvkwnglo jvjvrungnv chinampanama tuktumlo tvvgap pvvla risv nga tvvmarima kolo, bunu vdwa alvmanv mvngnampanam am hv jilwk pvvto, vkvlvgabv bunu rima svnga riniadaknia la riduku.

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].

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].

bunu vdwv mvngdung kaamado; bunu vdwv bunugv milvpvvnam lo rimadomadu, okv bunu kvvbi lvgabvka ayakaapa nam okv aiamarnam kaatam madu.

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.
