Romans 1

1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,

Bulus vren koh Yesu Almasihu, wa ba you aye, kma tie ndji u toh ndu, wa ba chu zi kan nitu tre Irji.

2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,

Wa i hi tre wa a chu nyu ni sen mu ni bi toh ndu ma ni tsatsraka ibe ma.

3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,

Ahe ni tu vren ma, wa ba ngrji'u ni kutra kahlan Dauda ni kpa.

4 but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,

Ni Brji ndindima u suron ndindi, wa a lunde ni mi be bak tsro da Vren Irji ni gbengblen Ibrji ndindi u bi wa ba he kiklan suron u Yesu Almasihu Bachi mbu

5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,

Ni tuma ki kpa ndindi ni toh ndu nitu kpa nyime u ndindi nimi bi korah wawu'u, nitu inde ma u ndindi.

6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:

Ni mi bi kora kwa, bi yi me ba you yi hi ni Yesu Almasihu.

7 To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lbe i ahi u bi wawu'u bi wa bi he ni mi Roman, wa Irji ni son ba, wa ba you ndji mba ndi tsarkaku. Du ndindi ni sun si rji ni Irji Bachi Iti mbu, ni Bachi Yesu Almasihu.

8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.

Ikpe u mumla misi ngyiri ni Irji mu ni tu Yesu Almasihu nitu bi wawu'u, don naki basi tre nitu njanji bi ni gbungblu wawu'u.

9 I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,

Don Irji wawu yi toh me, wa misi tie ndu ma ni mi Ruhu mu ni tre Vren Ma, wa mi you nde bi chachu'u.

10 always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.

Mi nji yi mu ni bre chachu'u du me toh koh wa mi ye u Hellinawa.

11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;

Nakima Irji na hi u tara na.

12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.

Ni biwa ba lah tre ni tron na, ba kwu ba tare da tron na, ni bi wa ba lah tre ni mi tron, ba hukunta ba nitu tron.

13 And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.

Naki ma ana biwa ba wo tron, ana baba bi ndindi u Irji na, naki bi ti, ba kpa ba chuwo.

14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:

Bi kora wa bana toh tron na, nitu da bia bati kpi wa ahi u tron.

15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

Nakima ba tsro ndi idu ni tron ani wa han ni suron ba, imre ba ni bla, ri mre ba ni chan ba ko ani ka'aba. Nakima ni Irji wa i ni ti ni vie wa Irji ni bla asiri wa he riri u bi he ni mi Roma

16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

Nakima isha na time na, dume hla tre na, don kima hi gbengblen Irji don kpachuwo wa bi wa ba kpa nyime, bi mumla Yahudawa u Halleniyawa.

17 For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."

Naki nimi ma ndindi Irji ka tsro u njanji hi ni njanji, na ba nha zi, ndji u ndindi ani sun nitu njanji.

18 For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:

Nakima infu Irji a tsro rji ni shu nitu bi wa bana hu nkon ni ndindi u mri Adamu bi wa ba chan njanji nitu njanji na he ni bana.

19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.

Nakima, ikpe wa a mla duba toh ni Irji ahe ni rira me nitu mba Naki ma Irji a tsro ba wawu hi zahiri.

20 For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

Nakima idu ma wa bana ya toh na a ni rira ba he tu ni nton wa ati gbungblu'a. Ba ya toh ba nitu ikpi bi wa ati'a. Ikpi bi yi baba ba ikoma u kakle ni Allahtakarsa. Nakima indji bi bana he ni sen nyu na. (aïdios g126)

21 For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.

Nakima ba ndji ba toh Irji, aman bana no ninkon u matsayi Irji na, ko duba tsro ingyiri. Nakima ba kma ti ruru ni mi mre mba. Imre u suron mba hi u bu.

22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,

Ba ban tumba na bi wa ba toh, aman se ba kma tie ruru.

23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.

Ba sran ninkon Irji u kakle ni kpi wa bana kakle ana na indji, cicen ni na nma bi zizia ni biwa ba nha ni ne.

24 For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.

Nakima Irji ka ban no sha'awa pipi suron mba ba ti kpa yah.

25 For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Baba yi ba sran njanji Irji ni che, ba si tie sujada ni bauta ni kpe wa ba tie ba ni wo, maimako wa ati ta, wa a mla zu nde kakle. (aiōn g165)

26 This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,

Nakima Irji ban ba no sha'awoyi u ti fa ba iyah har mbah ba kasran kaida jima hi mbah ni mbah.

27 in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

Lilon ba bame ba sran kaida jimai u lilon ni mbah hi ni lilon ni lilon ba si tie ndu fa. Lilon ba kru ni lilon nda ni tie kpi u chi basi chan sakamako indu mba u chi.

28 And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.

Nakima bana kpa nyime ni Irji na ni mi duba, Irji ban ba no ni kpa risu ni mre mba, basi tie meme kpi biyi.

29 Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.

Ba shu ni rashi ndindi, meme kyashi, keta, tigu, wudi, wa-nyu, makirci, ni meme mre.

30 They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,

Bi ti pre, kage, bi wa bana son Irji na. Bi wa bana son sun si na, bi santu, ni bi gla, bi ha meme che, ni bi wa bana hu/wo ba ti/yi mba.

31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.

Biwa isuron mba tsro pipi me, biri amana biwa bana he ni son na, bi wa bana he ni lo suron na.

32 In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.

Ba toh tsari Irji tre bi wa bati ikpi baki, ba mla kwu, ana ti kpi ni kangrji na, hra ba hu gon biwa bati ba.
