< Romans 1 >

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,
Une che Paolo, jwakutumichila ju Che Yesu Kilisito, nguchilemba chikalata chi. Akunnungu amilasile me nduna ni asagwile naalalichile ŵandu Ngani jao Jambone.
2 (Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures)
Kalakala ko, Akunnungu ŵaasalile ŵandu ajiji Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya ŵakulondola ŵao mpela itite pakulembekwa Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu.
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh.
Ngani Jambone ji jikungamba Mwana jwa Akunnungu, Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Jwati nkati undu wakwe ŵapagwile mu lukosyo lwa mwenye che Daudi.
4 And declared [to be] the Son of God, with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Nambo nkati umi wao wa chimbumu, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵalosisye kwa litala lya ukombole wakwe kuti Mwana jwa Akunnungu kwa kusyuka kwakwe yaani Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu.
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his name:
Kwa litala lyakwe mbegwile upile wa kuŵa nduna kuti kwa ligongo lya Kilisito nalongosye ŵandu ŵa ngosyo syose, akulupilile ni kuitichisya.
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Ŵanyamwe nli pasikati ja ŵandu wo, ŵankutama ku Loma mmilanjikwe ni Akunnungu mme ŵandu ŵakwe Che Yesu Kilisito.
7 To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nipele, une che Paolo ngunlembela ŵanyamwe wose ŵankunonyelwa ni Akunnungu ŵankutamanga ku Loma, ummilanjikwe mme ŵandu wakwe. Ngunsachila upile ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Ikanaŵe yaili yose, ngwatogolela Akunnungu ŵangu kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito kwa ligongo lya ŵanyamwe wose, pakuŵa chikulupi chenu chikupikanika ku chilambo kose.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,
Akunnungu ungwatumichila ni ntima wangu wose, nkulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Mwanagwao, ali jwaumboni jwangu kuti ngunkumbuchila ŵanyamwe,
10 Making request (if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God) to come to you.
moŵa gose pangupopela. Ngwapopela Akunnungu yanonyelaga ambe lipesa lyambone lya kunjimajimila.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Pakuŵa sachile kwannope kummona ŵanyamwe, kuti ngamulangane ni ŵanyamwe mu ntuuka ungupegwa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, kuti mme ŵalimbangene.
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Chingusala, ŵanawose tutusyaneje mitima, ŵanyamwe mulimbisye une mu chikulupi changu ni uneji nanlimbisye ŵanyamwe mu chikulupi chenu.
13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you (but have been hitherto hindered) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Achalongo achinjangu, ngusaka mmanyilile kuti kakajinji nasakaga iche kukwenu, nambo nekasiswe mpaka sambano. Nasachile kwika kuti ngombole kunkamuchisya mwanya nlimbangane mu chikulupi, mpela indite pakwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kulimbangana mu chikulupi.
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians, both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Pakuŵa ngusachilwa kwalalichila ŵandu wose Ŵagiliki ni ŵangaŵa Ŵagiliki, ni kwalalichila ŵaali ni lunda ni ŵakuloŵela.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Kwaligongo lyo ngulajila kwannope kunnalichila Ngani Jambone ŵanyamwe nombe ŵankutama ku Loma.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Ngangujikolela soni Ngani Jambone, pakuŵa jikwete machili ga Akunnungu gakunkulupusya kila mundu jwakukulupilila, kutandila kwa Ŵayahudi ni sooni kwa ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
17 For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Pakuŵa Ngani Jambone jikulosya yatite Akunnungu pakwatenda ŵandu kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao. Kwa litala lya chikulupi, chitandile kundanda mpaka kumbesi. Mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Mundu jwatendekwe jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu chatame kwa chikulupi.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
Kutyochela kwinani Akunnungu alosisye uchimwa wao kwa litala lya sambi syose ni kwa litala lya ugongomalo wose wa aŵala ŵandu ŵakuuliŵatila usyene ukamanyika kwa litala lya ugongomalo wao.
19 Because that which may be known of God, is manifest in them; for God hath shown [it] to them.
Pakuŵa yose yaikuntesya Akunnungu amanyiche kukwao, imanyichikwe, ligongo Akunnungu nsyene ailosisye kwa ŵanyawo.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)
Chitandile Akunnungu paŵagumbile chilambo, ukombole wao wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni Unungu wao, ikuwoneka pangasisika namuno ngaikuoneka ni meeso. Ŵandu akukombola kuumanyilila kwa indu yagumbile. Kwapele ŵandu ngakombola kulichenjela kwa yaili yose. (aïdios g126)
21 Because that when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Namuno akumanyililanga kuti Akunnungu apali, nambo ngakunkusya atamuno kuntogolela yakuti pakuŵajilwa, nambo ng'anisyo syao sili syangalimate ni mitima jao jitajikwe chipi.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools:
Akulitendanga ŵa lunda, nambo ali ŵakuloŵela.
23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping animals.
Alesile kwapopelela Akunnungu ŵangakuwa, nambo akwipopela inyago yaikulandana ni mundu jwakwasika, chisau inyama pane ijuni pane inyama yaikukwaŵa.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Kwa ligongo lya yeleyo, Akunnungu ŵaalesile mu tama jangalumbana ja mitima jao ni kupanganyichisyana indu ya soni mu iilu yao.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Akuutindanya usyene wa Akunnungu kwa unami, akuipopelela ni kuitumichila indu yepanganyikwe ni Akunnungu ni kwaleka Akunnungu ŵaaipanganyisye, ŵakusachilwa kulapikwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections. For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Kwa ligongo lyo Akunnungu ŵaalesile akuyanje tama syao sya soni. Namose achakongwe ŵalesile kugonana ni achalume yaikuti pakusachilwa, ŵagonanaga ni achakongwe achinjao.
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Achalume nombe iyoyo peyo akulekanga kugonana ni achakongwe yaikuti pakusachilwa, ŵakolelene mchesele jwannume ni jwannume. Akupanganyichisyana ipanganyo ya soni achalume kwa achalume, kwayele akuliichisya kwamukwa kwa ugongomalo wao wautesile.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Pakuŵa ŵandu wo ŵakanile kuuŵika mu ng'anisyo usyene wa kwamanyilila Akunnungu, nombe Akunnungu ŵaalesile akuyanje ng'anisyo syao syangalumbana, ŵaipanganyisye aila yekanye kuipanganya.
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Ŵandu ŵa aguumbele ugongomalo wose, ungalumbana ni lipamo ni wiu ni uulasi ni unami ni ngomo ni kulambusya. Ni kunong'ona,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
ni kunamanilana, ŵakwachima Akunnungu, ŵakutukana ni ŵakulilapa ni ŵakulifuna, ŵakwilana kuitendekanya yangalimate ni ŵangaajitichisya achaŵelesi ŵao.
31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Ŵakuloŵela, ŵangakukamula chilanga, ŵangali unonyelo ni nganakola chanasa kwa ŵane.
32 Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death; not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Ŵakumanyilila kuti malajisyo ga Akunnungu gakuti ŵakugapanganya gelego akuŵajilwa kuwa. Natamuno yeleyo akwendelechela ngaŵa kugapanganya pe nambo akwilana ni aŵala ŵakugapanganya gelego.
