< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
Paulo ntumishi ghwa Yesu Kritu jha akutibhu kujha mfalme, ni kutengibhwa kwa ndabha jha injili jha K'yara.
2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
Ejhe ndo jhela Injili jhaaihaidi muandi kup'etela manabii bha muene mu maj'handiku matakatifu.
3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
Ndo kwandabha jha mwanabhe, jha ahogoliki mu lukholo lwa Daudi ku namna j'ha mbhele.
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,
Muene atangasibhu kuj'ha mwana ghwa K'yara kwa ng'hofo j'ha Roho mtakatifu kwa bhufufuo bhwa bhafu Yesu Kristu Bwana bhitu.
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,
Kup'etela muene tuj'hamb'elili neema ni bhutme bhwa utii bhwa imani kati j'ha mataifa ghoha kwa ndabha jha lihina lya muene.
6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
Kati jha mataifa agha, muenga kabhele mukkutibhu kujha bha Yesu Kristu.
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.
Barua ejhe jha kwa bhoha bhabhajhele rumi bhabhaganikibhu ni K'yara, bhakutibhu kujha bhanu bhatakatifu. Neema jhijhafayi kwa muenga ni amani kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi jhitu ni Bwana Yesu Kristu.
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.
Hoti nikambombesya K'yara ghwangu kwa Yesu Kristu kwandabha jha muenga mwebhoha kwandabha imani jha muenga jhihubiribhwa pa dunia jhioha.
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,
Kwandabha K'yara ndo shahidi ghwa nene ambajhe nan'tumikili kwa roho jha nene mu Injili jha mwanamunu, namna kyenitamisya kubhataja.
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.
Daima nisoma mu sala sya nene kujha kwa njela jhejhioha nikabhaikwa kumalikili kujha ni mafanikilu henu kwa mapenzi gha K'yara kwa kuhida kwa jhomu.
11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
Ndabha ninoghela kubhabhona ili nibhwesiajhi kubhapela muenga karama sya mu roho, nibhwesiajhi kubhasindamalisya.
12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
Yaani nilolelela kupelibhwa muoyo ni muenga, kwa njela jha imani jha khila mmonga bhitu, muenga ni nene.
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.
Henu bhalongo bhangu nilondalepi musindwayi kmanya kujha, mara simehele nilondeghe kuhida kwa muenga lakini nibesibhu hadi henu. Nilondeghe naha ili kujha ni matunda kwa muenga kama kyajhijhele kabhele miongoni mwa bhanu bha mataifa.
14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
Nimalibhwa ni Bhayunani ni bhahesya kabhele, bherevu ni bhajinga.
15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Henu, kwa nene, nene nijhe tayari kutangasya Injili kwa muenga kabhele muenga jha mujhele okhu 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.
Kwa ndabha nikajhibhonela lepi soni Injili, kwa kujha ndo bhuweza bhwa K'yara bhwawileta bhwokovu kwa khila jhaiamini kwa Myahudi hoti ni kwa Muyunani kabhele.
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."
Kwandabha haki jha K'yara j'hidhihirishibhu kuhoma imani hata imani, kama kyajhilembibhu, “Jhaajhele ni haki ibeta kuishi kwa imani.”
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:
ndabha ghadhabu jha K'yara jhidhihirishibhu kuhoma kumbinguni dhidi jha bhuasi ni bhuovu bhwoha bhwa bhanu, ambabho kwa njela jha bhudhalimu jhifigha bhukweli.
19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
Ejhe kwandabha, ghoha ghaghibhwesye kumanyikana panani pa K'yara ghajhe bhwasi kwa bhene. Ndabha K'yara abhabholili.
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 )
Ndabha mambo gha muene ghaghabhonekeneghelepi kinofu ghajhele bhwasi kuhomela kubhombibhwa kwa ulimwengu. Ghijhelabhweka kup'etela fenu fyafibhombibhu. mambo agha ndo bhuweza bhwa muene bhwa milele ni asili jha bhu K'yara. Matokeo ghake, bhanu abha bhajhelepi ni bhudhuru. (aïdios )
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.
Ejhe kwandabha, ingabhwa bhamanyili kuhusu K'yara bhabeli kun'tukusya muene kama K'yara bhwala bhampeli lepi kabhombeselu. Badala jhiake, bhajhe bhapumbafu mu mabhuasu gha bhene, ni mioyo ghya bhene ghyaghijhele ni ujinga bhwa sopibhu ngisi.
22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
Bhakikuteghe bhaervu, lakini bhajhele bhajinga.
23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
Bhaugeusi bhutukufu bhwa K'yara jha abeli kujha ni bhuharibifu kwa mfuanu bhwa sura jha binadamu jhaajhele ni bhuharibifu, ni jha fidege jha bhanyama bhenye magolo mancheche, ni fiumbe fyafiboya.
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.
Henu, Kyara abhalekhili bhakhesiajhi tamaa sya mioyo ghya bhene kwa bhuchafu, kwa mibhele ghya bhene kukosibhwa soni baina jha bhene.
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 )
Ndo bhene bhabhajhisanuisi kweli jha K'yara kujha bhudesi, na bhabhaabuili ni kutumikila fiumbe badala jha muumbaji ambajhe isifibhwa milele. Amina (aiōn )
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,
Kwa ndabha ejhe k'yara abhalekili bhakhesiajhi tamaa sya bhene sya soni kwa kujha bhadala bhabhi bhasanuisi matumizi gha bhene gha asili kwa khele kyakijhele kinyume ni asili.
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.
Hali mabhu bhadosi ni bhene kabhele bhalekili matumizi gha bhene gha asili kwa bhadala ni kujha ni tamaa dhidi jha bhene Abha bhajhele bhagosi ambabho bhabhombibhu ni bhagosi bhajhine ghaghilondeka lepi, ni ambabho bhapokili adhabu jhajhiondeghe bhukonyofu bhwa bhene.
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.
Kwa ndabha bhabelili kujha ni K'yara mu fahamu sya bhene, abhalekhili bhakhasiajhi akili sya bhene syasifuajhi lepi, bhabhombayi mambo ghala ghaghifuajhilepi.
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.
Bhamemili bhudhalimu bhuoha, bhuovu, tamaa ni bhubhibhi. Bhamemibhu ni bhuifu, bhukhomi, Ngondo, bhudesi, ni nia jhibhibhi.
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,
Bhene kabhele ndo bhadesi bhasomani, na bhakan'dadisya K'yara bhajhe ni fuju, kiburi ni kwifuna. Bhene bhatonga mabhibhi, na bhabhitii lepi bhazazi bha bhene.
31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
Bhene bhajhelepi ni bhufahamu: bhabhijhaminika lepi, bhajhepi ni mapenzi gha asili, na bhajhelepi ni ke'sa.
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.
Bhijhelebhwa kanuni sya K'yara, jha kujha bhanu bhabhibhomba mambo gha namna ejhu bhilondeka kufwa. Lakini sio tubhibhomba mambo aghu, bhene kabhele bhijhetekelana ni bhala bhabhibhomba mambo agha.
