Romatɔwo 1
1 Nye Paulo, Yesu Kristo ƒe dɔla, ame si wotia be wòanye mawunyadɔgbedela, eye wodɔe be wòaɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nyanyui la.
PAULOS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, called, and an apostle, who hath been separated unto the gospel of Aloha,
2 Mawu do Nyanyui sia ŋugbe xoxoxo to eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo dzi le Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔeawo me,
which from of old he had promised by the hand of the prophets, in the holy writings,
3 tso Via, Yesu Kristo, ame si va xexea me abe amegbetɔ ene, eye wodzii abe David ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi ene la ŋu.
concerning his Son, who was born, according to the flesh, of the seed of the house of David,
4 To Via, Yesu Kristo, ƒe tsitretsitsi me la, Mawu fia be eyae nye Mawu ƒe Vi ŋusẽtɔ la, eye Mawu ŋutɔ ƒe nɔnɔme kɔkɔe la le eme.
and is known (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord:
5 Azɔ la, to Yesu Kristo me la, wokɔ Mawu ƒe dɔmenyo ɖe mí nu vɔ̃ wɔla madzemadzewo dzi, eye azɔ la, ele mía dɔm ɖe xexea me be míagblɔ nu gã siwo Mawu wɔ na xexea me la na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la katã le afi sia afi, ale be woawo hã naxɔ edzi ase, eye woaɖo toe.
by whom we have received grace and apostleship among all nations, that they should become obedient unto the faith of his name:
6 Eye miawo hã miele ame siwo woyɔ be woanye Yesu Kristo tɔwo la dome.
and you also are of them, called in Jeshu Meshiha:
7 Mi ame siwo katã le Roma, siwo nye Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, kple ame kɔkɔe siwo woyɔ la, Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa tso Mawu, mía Fofo kple Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gbɔ na mi katã.
To all who are in Ruma, beloved of Aloha, called and saints; peace and grace be with you from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
8 Gbã la, medaa akpe na nye Mawu to Yesu Kristo dzi le mi katã ta, elabena amewo le ɖase ɖim le xexea me godoo tso miaƒe xɔse ŋu.
First, I praise my God through Jeshu Meshiha on behalf of you all, that your faith is heard (of) in all the world.
9 Mawu nya ale si medoa gbe ɖa enuenu ɖe mia tae. Metsɔa miawo kple miaƒe hiahiãwo yia gbedodoɖa me zã kple keli na ame si mesubɔna kple nye ŋusẽ katã, eye megblɔa Nyanyui la tsoa Via ŋu na ame bubuwo.
For a witness unto me is Aloha, whom I serve in the spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing at all time I remember you in my prayers.
10 Medoa gbe ɖa na Mawu be makpɔ mɔnu, ne Mawu lɔ̃ la, be mava mia gbɔ mlɔeba.
And I pray that from now there may be opened unto me the way, by the will of Aloha, to come to you.
11 Mele didim vevie be mava kpɔ mi ɖa ale be matsɔ gbɔgbɔmenunana aɖewo ado ŋusẽ mi,
For I greatly desire to see you, and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit,
12 ale be nye kple miawo siaa míado ŋusẽ mía nɔewo ƒe xɔse.
that thereby you may be established, and that together we may be comforted by your faith and mine.
13 Nɔvinye lɔlɔ̃awo, medi be mianya be meɖoe zi geɖe be mava kpɔ mi ɖa, ale be mate ŋu awɔ dɔ le mia dome, eye makpɔ kutsetse nyui siwo ado tso eme abe ale si mewɔ le ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la dome ene, gake esia mete ŋu dze edzi o.
BUT I will that you know, my brethren, that many times I have willed to come to you, and have been hindered until this;
14 Enye nye dɔdeasi be magblɔ nyanyui la na Grikitɔwo kple ame siwo menye Grikitɔwo o la, na nunyalawo kple bometsilawo siaa.
that among you also I may have fruit as among the rest of the nations of the Javnoyee and Barbaroyee, the wise and the foolish,
15 Eya ta medi vevie be magblɔ nyanyui la na mi ame siwo le Roma hã.
because to every man am I obligated to preach; and so am I urged to evangelize unto you also who are in Ruma.
16 Elabena nyanyui si tso Kristo ŋuti la mekpea ŋu nam o. Eyae nye Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ si nana be ame sia ame si xɔ Kristo dzi se la nakpɔ xɔxɔ. Gbã la, wogblɔ nya siawo na Yudatɔwo ɖeɖe ko, emegbe la, wogblɔe na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la hã.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Aloha for the salvation of all who believe in him, whether of the Jihudoyee first, or of the Aramoyee:
17 Nyanyui sia ɖe Mawu ƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye fia, dzɔdzɔenyenye si vana to xɔse me tso gɔmedzedze va se ɖe nuwuwu abe ale si Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔe ene be, “Ame dzɔdzɔe anɔ agbe to xɔse me.”
for the righteousness of Aloha in it is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, The righteous by faith shall live.
18 Woɖe Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe ɖe go tso dziƒo ɖe amegbetɔ ƒe mawumavɔmavɔ̃ kple vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖinyenye katã ŋu, ame siwo tea nyateƒe la ɖe to, to woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi me.
For the wrath of Aloha is revealed from heaven against all the unrighteousness and depravity of the sons of men, who the truth in unrighteousness detain.
19 Elabena woɖe nu si wòle be woanya tso Mawu ŋu la me na wo keŋ.
Because the knowledge of Aloha is revealed in them; for Aloha revealed it in them.
20 Elabena tso xexea me ƒe gɔmedzedzea me la, Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme siwo womekpɔna kple ŋku o, esiwo nye eƒe ŋusẽ mavɔ kple eƒe mawunyenye la me kɔ na wo ƒãa. Wose esia gɔme to eƒe nuwɔwɔwo me, be taflatsedodo naganɔ ame aɖeke si o. (aïdios g126)
For the occult things of Aloha from the foundations of the world, unto his creatures by intelligence are apparent, and his power and his Godhead eternal, that they may be without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 Togbɔ be wonya Mawu hã la, womesubɔnɛ alo daa akpa nɛ abe Mawu ene o ke boŋ woƒe tamesusuwo zu nu dzodzro, eye woƒe dzi manyanu la me do viviti.
For when they knew Aloha, they did not as Aloha glorify him and praise him, but became vain in their imaginations, and their heart was darkened, that they understood not.
22 Togbɔ be wobu be yewonye nunyalawo hã la, wonye bometsilawo boŋ,
And while thinking in themselves that they were wise, they were fools.
23 elabena wotsɔ Mawu makumaku la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖɔli aklamakpakpɛwo be wòanɔ abe amegbetɔ, dziƒoxeviwo kple lã afɔenewo kple nutatawo tɔ ene.
And they changed the glory of Aloha the Incorruptible into the likeness of the image of corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and of four-footed (beasts) and of reptiles of the earth.
24 Eya ta, le woƒe dzi vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe didi nu la, Mawu tsɔ wo de asi na ahasiwɔwɔ ƒe makɔmakɔnyenye be woado ŋunyɔ woƒe ŋutilãwo kple wo nɔewo.
Because of this Aloha delivered them up to the unclean lusts of their hearts, that they would debase their bodies among them.
25 Wotsɔ Mawu ƒe nyateƒe la ɖɔli aʋatsoe; wosubɔa nuwɔwɔwo, eye wodea ta agu na wo wu wo Wɔla, ame si wòle be woakafu tegbetegbe. Amen. (aiōn g165)
And they changed the truth of Aloha into a lie, and worshipped and served the creatures rather than their Creator, to whom be praises and blessings for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Le esia ta Mawu tsɔ wo de asi na dzodzro vɔ̃wo; woƒe nyɔnuwo gɔ̃ hã tsɔ nu siwo menye dzɔdzɔmenuwo o la ɖɔli dzɔdzɔmenuwoe le gbɔdɔdɔnyawo gome.
WHEREFORE Aloha delivered them up to passions of vileness: for their females changed the use of their nature, and to what is not natural were used.
27 Nenema ke woƒe ŋutsuwo hã ɖe asi le dzɔdzɔme ƒe kadodo si le ŋutsu kple nyɔnu dome la ŋu, eye woƒe lãme fiena ɖe wo nɔewo ŋu. Ale ŋutsu wɔa ŋunyɔnu kple ŋutsu bubuwo. Ale woxɔa woƒe ŋukpenanuwo ƒe fetu ɖe woƒe ŋutilã me.
And also their males likewise left the natural use of their females, and were inflamed with concupiscence one with another, and male with male wrought shamefulness, and the just retribution for their perverseness in themselves received.
28 Gawu la, esi wosusui be mehiã be woalé sidzedze Mawu me ɖe asi o ta la, Mawu ɖe asi le woƒe susu ŋu na bometsitsi be woawɔ nu si mele be woawɔ o.
And as they did not decide in themselves to know Aloha, so did Aloha cause them to be delivered up to a mind of vainness, and to do what is not fit;
29 Ale wo ameawo me yɔ fũu kple vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi, nu tovo wɔwɔ, ŋukeklẽ kple gbɔ̃ɖiɖi ame ɖokui. Nenema ke ŋuʋaʋã, hlɔ̃dodo, dzrewɔwɔ, beble kple vɔ̃ediname hã yɔ wo me fũu. Wonye amenyagblɔlawo,
being filled with all wickedness, and uncleanness, and rancour, and malice, and rapacity, and envy, and murder, and contention, and deceit, and evil imaginings, and murmurings,
30 ameŋugblẽlawo, ame siwo léa Mawu ɖe ke me, amemabulawo, dadalawo, adegbe ƒuƒlu ƒolawo, ame siwo toa nu gbegblẽ yeyewo wɔwɔ vanɛ, ame siwo meɖoa to wo dzilawo o.
and slanders, and hating of Aloha: vilifiers, inflated ones, boasters, inventors of evil things, mindless, disobedient to parents,
31 Wonye numanyalawo, dzimaxɔsetɔwo, nublanuimakpɔlawo kple tamesesẽtɔwo.
(men) to whom a compact is nothing, and (who) neither love peace nor (have) mercy in them; who,
32 Togbɔ be wonya nu le Mawu ƒe sedede dzɔdzɔe la ŋu be ame siwo wɔa nenem nu siawo tɔgbi dze na ku hã la, womeyi nu sia nu wɔwɔ dzi ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ woda asi ɖe ame siwo wɔnɛ hã tɔ dzi.
knowing the judgment of Aloha, that they who these things do, unto death are condemned, (yet) not only do them, but also participate with those who do them.
