1 Nĩ niĩ Paũlũ, ndungata ya Kristũ Jesũ, o niĩ njĩtĩĩtwo nduĩke mũtũmwo, na ngaamũrwo hunjagie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai,
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel of God,
2 o Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega eeranĩire o mbere na tũnua twa anabii ake thĩinĩ wa Maandĩko marĩa Matheru,
which he had promised before by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
3 ũrĩa ũkoniĩ Mũrũwe, ũrĩa ta mũndũ warĩ wa rũciaro rwa Daudi.
the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,
4 Na rĩrĩ, Roho wa ũtheru nĩonanirie na ũhoti atĩ Jesũ Kristũ nĩ Mũrũ wa Ngai tondũ wa ũrĩa aariũkire akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ: o we Jesũ Kristũ Mwathani witũ.
and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;
5 kũgerera we Ngai nĩatũheete wega wake, na agatũhe ũhoti ta atũmwo nĩguo twĩre andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe kũndũ guothe ũrĩa Ngai amekĩire, nĩguo mamwĩtĩkie na mamwathĩkĩre, nĩguo matũme rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩgoocagwo.
through whom we received grace and the office of an apostle in behalf of his name, in order to produce obedience to the faith among all nations;
6 O na inyuĩ mũrĩ amwe a acio metĩtwo matuĩke a Jesũ Kristũ.
among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ;
7 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra marũa maya inyuothe arĩa mũrĩ kũu Roma, o inyuĩ mwendetwo nĩ Ngai, na mũgetwo mũtuĩke andũ aamũre: Wega na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, na kuuma kũrĩ Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ, iroikara na inyuĩ.
to all the beloved of God at Rome, called, holy: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 O mbere nĩngũcookeria Ngai wakwa ngaatho thĩinĩ wa Jesũ Kristũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu inyuothe, tondũ ũhoro wa wĩtĩkio wanyu nĩũmenyithanĩtio thĩ yothe.
In the first place, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 Ngai, ũrĩa niĩ ndungatagĩra na ngoro yakwa yothe na ũndũ wa kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Mũrũwe-rĩ, nĩwe mũira wakwa wa ũrĩa ndũũraga ndĩmũririkanaga
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how constantly I make mention of you, always in my prayers
10 mahooya-inĩ makwa hĩndĩ ciothe; na nĩndĩrahooya atĩ rĩu nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa Ngai no hingũrĩrwo njĩra nĩguo njũke kũrĩ inyuĩ.
supplicating that, if it be possible, I may at last through the will of God be favored with an opportunity of coming to you.
11 Nĩndĩrerirĩria mũno tuonane na inyuĩ nĩgeetha ndĩmũgaĩre iheo cia kĩĩroho nĩguo muongererwo hinya,
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, which may be for your confirmation;
12 ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩ inyuĩ na niĩ tũgĩe na ũhoro wa kũũmanĩrĩria, o mũndũ omĩrĩrie mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ na wĩtĩkio wake.
that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each other's faith, both yours and mine.
13 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndikwenda mwage kũmenya atĩ nĩ mahinda maingĩ ndanabanga kũmũceerera (no ndanagirĩrĩrio gwĩka ũguo nginya rĩu) nĩgeetha ngĩe na maciaro thĩinĩ wanyu, o ta ũrĩa ngĩĩte na maciaro thĩinĩ wa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ.
But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also, as among the other gentiles.
14 Niĩ haana ta ndĩ na thiirĩ na Ayunani o na arĩa matarĩ Ayunani, ningĩ ngagĩa na thiirĩ wa andũ arĩa oogĩ o na arĩa matarĩ oogĩ.
I am debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩkĩo ndĩriragĩria mũno kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega o na kũrĩ inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga Roma.
So, according to my ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also in Rome.
16 Niĩ ndingĩconokera Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, tondũ nĩguo hinya wa Ngai wa gũtũma mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũwĩtĩkĩtie ahonoke: O mbere Ayahudi, na thuutha wao nĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for to every believer, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, it is the power of God unto salvation.
17 Nĩgũkorwo thĩinĩ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, ũthingu ũrĩa uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai nĩũguũrĩtio, na nĩguo ũthingu ũrĩa wonekaga na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria nginya kĩrĩkĩro, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu arĩtũũraga muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia.”
For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
18 Mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai nĩmaguũrĩtio kuuma igũrũ mokĩrĩre ũhoro wothe wa andũ kũregana na Ngai, na waganu wa andũ arĩa magiragĩrĩria ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma na ũndũ wa waganu wao,
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, who keep down the truth in unrighteousness.
19 nĩgũkorwo maũndũ ma Ngai marĩa mangĩmenyeka nĩo matiagĩte kũmenyeka nĩo, tondũ Ngai nĩwe wamamenyithirie.
Because that which may be known of God is manifest within them; for God made it manifest to them.
20 Nĩgũkorwo kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo, maũndũ ma Ngai marĩa matonekaga, na nĩmo hinya wake wa tene na tene, o na ũngai wake, nĩmarĩkĩtie kuoneka o wega, na makamenyeka nĩ ũndũ wa indo iria ciombirwo, nĩgeetha andũ matikagĩe na kĩĩgwatio. (aïdios g126)
For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 Tondũ o na harĩa maamenyete Ngai, matiigana kũmũgooca taarĩ Ngai, kana makĩmũcookeria ngaatho, no meciiria mao maatuĩkire ma tũhũ, nacio ngoro ciao ngĩĩgu ikĩgĩa nduma.
Because though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful to him; but became perverse in their reasonings, and their senseless minds were darkened;
22 Na o rĩrĩa moigaga atĩ o nĩ oogĩ-rĩ, noguo maatuĩkire irimũ,
professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 nao magĩkũũrania riiri wa Ngai ũrĩa mũtũũra muoyo na mĩhianano ĩthondeketwo ĩkahaana ta andũ arĩa makuuaga, na nyoni, na nyamũ cia magũrũ mana, o na nyamũ iria itaambaga thĩ.
and for the glory of the incorruptible God they substituted images of corruptible man, and of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩmarekereria marũmagĩrĩre merirĩria mao mooru marĩa ngoro ciao cieriragĩria, o na mekage maũndũ ma ũmaraya ma kwagithia mĩĩrĩ yao gĩtĩĩo, mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to debase their bodies with one another;
25 Nĩmakũũranirie ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma wa Ngai na maheeni, makĩhooya na magĩtungatĩra indo iria ciombirwo handũ ha gũtungatĩra Mũciũmbi, o ũcio wa kũgoocagwo nginya tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
because they changed the true God for false gods, and adored and worshipped created things rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Tondũ wa ũguo-rĩ, Ngai nĩamarekereirie marũmagĩrĩre merirĩria mao mooru ma maũndũ ma thoni. O na andũ-a-nja ao nĩmakũũranirie mũtugo wao ũrĩa wa ndũire na ũrĩa ũtarĩ wa ndũire.
For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust,
27 O nao arũme o ũndũ ũmwe nĩmatiganĩirie mũtugo wao ũrĩa wa ndũire na andũ-a-nja, magaakanagwo nĩ merirĩria mooru ma kwĩriranĩria o ene. Arũme magĩĩka ciĩko cia ũra-thoni na arũme arĩa angĩ, nao nĩmegwatĩire thĩinĩ wa mĩĩrĩ yao ene iherithia rĩrĩa rĩmagĩrĩire nĩ ũndũ wa waganu ũcio wao.
and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.
28 Na makĩria ma ũguo-rĩ, tondũ mationire bata wa gũtũũra mamenyete Ngai, nake akĩmarekereria magĩe na meciiria ma ũmaramari, mekage maũndũ marĩa mataagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkwo.
And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;
29 Nao makĩiyũrwo nĩ waganu wa mĩthemba yothe, ũũru, na ũkoroku, na meciiria ma ũmaramari. Makaiyũrwo nĩ ũiru, na ũragani, na ngũĩ, na maheeni, na rũmena. Magatuĩka andũ a mũhuhu,
being filled with all unrighteousness, malice, covetousness, wickedness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; backbiters,
30 na acambania, na athũũri Ngai, na aciinũrani, na egaathi, na etĩĩi, mathugundaga njĩra cia gwĩka ũũru, na andũ matangĩathĩkĩra aciari ao;
slanderers, hated of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of mischief, disobedient to parents,
31 nao ti akuũku wega, na matitĩĩaga ũhoro ũrĩa mũrĩĩkanĩre, na nĩ ooru mũno, na matirĩ tha.
senseless, faithless, without natural affection, without pity;
32 Na o na gwatuĩka nĩmooĩ watho wa ũthingu wa Ngai atĩ andũ arĩa mekaga maũndũ ta macio maagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũkua, to gũthiĩ mathiiaga na mbere na gwĩka maũndũ macio tu, no nĩmetĩkanagia na andũ arĩa mekaga maũndũ macio.
who, although knowing the ordinance of God, that they who practise such things deserve death, not only do them themselves, but approve of those who do them.
