< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
Nene Pauli niyandika balua iyi, mtumisi wa Kilisitu Yesu, mwenikemeliwi kuvya mtumi na kuhaguliwi na Chapanga, kwa lihengu la kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina.
2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
Penapo kadeni, Chapanga avahaidili vandu Lilovi la Bwina lenili, mu njila ya vamlota vaki ngati cheyiyandikwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi.
3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
Lilovi la Bwina lenili likumvala Mwana wa Chapanga, BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu, muhiga avelekiwi mu lukolo lwa nkosi Daudi.
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,
Nambu kuuvala wumi waki chimpungu wa Mpungu Msopi ajilangisi kwa makakala gaki kuvya Mwana wa Chapanga kwa kuyuka kwaki.
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,
Mu njila yaki, nene nipewili ubwina wa Chapanga kuvya mtumi, muni ndava ya Kilisitu nivalongosayi vandu va milima yoha vasadikayi na kuyidakila.
6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
Nyenye ndi pagati ya vandu venavo vevitama ku Loma, muhaguliwi muvyai vandu vaki Yesu Kilisitu.
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.
Hinu nikuvayandikila mwavoha nyenye mwemwitama ku Loma ndi Chapanga akuvagana, akavahagula muvyai vandu vaki. Nikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
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.
Nitumbula kumsengusa Chapanga wangu mu njila ya Yesu Kilisitu ndava yinu mwavoha, ndava sadika yinu yiyuwaniki na vandu voha va pamulima.
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,
Nikumhengela Chapanga, kwa mtima wangu woha kwa kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina la Mwana waki, mwene amanyili kuvya nijova chakaka kuvya nikuvakumbuka
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.
lukumbi lwoha nikumuyupa mwene. Nikumuyupa Chapanga akaganayi, anihotosa nihotola kuvagendelela.
11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
Muni ninogela neju kuvalola na kuhanganila pamonga njombi yeakuvapela Mpungu Msopi muni avakangamalisa.
12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
Chenijova apa tavoha tikangamalisanayi, sadika yangu yivakangamalisa nyenye, na sadika yinu yinikangamalisa 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.
Valongo vangu, nigana mumanyai kuvya naganili pamahele kuvagendelela, nambu mbaka hinu nibesiwi. Nigana kupata gabwina pagati yinu nyenye vandu mwemukumsadika Kilisitu ngati chenapatili pagati ya vandu vangali Vayawudi.
14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
Nivii na lihengu la kuvakokosela vandu voha vevavili na uyovelu yabwina na vana matendu yihakau, vevachenjili na vayimu.
15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Hinu nene ninogela neju kulikokosa Lilovi la Bwina mewawa nyenye mwemwitama ku Loma.
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.
Nikuliwonela lepi soni Lilovi la Bwina, ndava lina makakala ga Chapanga ga kumsangula kila mundu mweisadika, kutumbula kwa Vayawudi kangi kwa vangali Vayawudi mewawa.
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."
Muni Lilovi la Bwina lilangisa hotohoto Chapanga cheakuvayidakila vandu vavyai vabwina kwaki. Kwa njila ya kusadika kutumbula utumbukanu mbaka mwishu. Ngati cheyiyandikwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Mundu mweakitiwi kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga yati itama kwa sadika.”
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:
Chapanga amanyisi ligoga laki kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga kwa kumbudila na uhakau woha wa vandu, vene kwa uhakau wavi vakuudiva uchakaka ukoto kumanyikana.
19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
Ndava muni, gala gegikita Chapanga amanyikana kwavi gavi hotohoto, muni Chapanga mwene agalangisi kwavi.
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 )
Kutumbula Chapanga peawumbili mulima, makakala gaki ga magono goha gangali mwishu na uchapanga waki, chewimanyikana hotohoto hati ngati uloleka lepi kwa mihu. Nambu vandu vihotola kuulola kwa vindu vyeawumbili Chapanga. Hinu vandu vavi lepi na chindu chakujikengelela! (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.
Pamonga vammanyili Chapanga, nambu vakumlumba lepi na kumsengusa, pahali paki, maholo gavi gauyimu na mitima yavi yisopiwi chitita.
22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
Vimeka kuvya vachenjili nambu vayimu.
23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
Vileka kumulumba Chapanga mweifwa lepi, na pahali paki vakuhilumba himong'omong'o yeyiwanangana na mundu mweifwa, ngati videge amala hinyama amala vingokoko yeyikwava.
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.
Ndava yeniyo, Chapanga avalekili valandayi mnogo uhakau wa mitima yavi na kukitilana mambu ga soni muhiga zavi.
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 )
Vakuung'anamusa uchakaka wa Chapanga kuvya udese, vakuvigundamila na kuvihengela vindu vyeviwumbiwi pahala pa Chapanga, vakumlumba lepi muwumba mwene mweiganikiwa kulumbiwa magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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,
Ndava vikita genago, Chapanga avalekili valandayi mnogo wavi uhakau wa soni. Hati vadala valekili kugona na vagosi ngati cheyiganikiwa pahala paki vinogelana vene kwa vene.
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.
Na vagosi mewawa, valekili kugona na vadala ngati cheyiganikiwa, badala yaki vinogelana vene kwa vene. Vagosi kwa vagosi vikitilana mambu ga soni, ndava yeniyo vakujiletela vene kuhamuliwa kwa uhakau wavi wevahengili.
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.
Ndava muni vandu avo vabelili kuvika muluhala lwavi uchakaka wa kummanya Chapanga, namwene avalekili valanda luhala lwavi luhakau, vakitili gala gegabesiwi kukitiwa.
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.
Vandu venavo vamemili uhakau woha, uhakau na uhutulu mnogo kuyola vindu wihu na ukomaji na luhonda na udese na kuhenga matendu gahakau na kuheha,
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,
na kuvakupakisa vayavi na vevakumuyomela Chapanga na veviliga na vevakujilumba na vevimeka na viyidakilana kukita gahakau na vala vevibela kuvayidakila vala vevavaveliki,
31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
vayimu na vilanda lepi lilaganu lavi na vakuvagana lepi vandu na vakuvahengela lepi lipyana vandu vangi.
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.
Vamanyili ngati malagizu ga Chapanga gijova vandu vevikita vindu ngati ivi viganikiwa kufwa, nambu vikita vindu vyenivyo ndi lepi vindu ivyo ndu, ndi mewawa vakuvayidakila vevikita vindu vyenivyo.
