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 Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad-message of God—
2 o Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega eeranĩire o mbere na tũnua twa anabii ake thĩinĩ wa Maandĩko marĩa Matheru,
Which he promised beforehand, through his prophets, in holy scriptures—
3 ũrĩa ũkoniĩ Mũrũwe, ũrĩa ta mũndũ warĩ wa rũciaro rwa Daudi.
Concerning his Son, —who came to be of the seed of David, according to 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.
Who was distinguished as the Son of God—by power, according to a Holy Spirit, through means of a 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 have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,
6 O na inyuĩ mũrĩ amwe a acio metĩtwo matuĩke a Jesũ Kristũ.
Among whom are, ye also, 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.
Unto all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints, favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and 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.
First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced 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, —unto whom I am rendering divine service in my spirit, in the glad message of his Son, —how incessantly, I am making mention of you
10 mahooya-inĩ makwa hĩndĩ ciothe; na nĩndĩrahooya atĩ rĩu nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa Ngai no hingũrĩrwo njĩra nĩguo njũke kũrĩ inyuĩ.
At all times in my prayers, —making supplication—if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;
11 Nĩndĩrerirĩria mũno tuonane na inyuĩ nĩgeetha ndĩmũgaĩre iheo cia kĩĩroho nĩguo muongererwo hinya,
For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established, —
12 ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩ inyuĩ na niĩ tũgĩe na ũhoro wa kũũmanĩrĩria, o mũndũ omĩrĩrie mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ na wĩtĩkio wake.
That is to say—there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the 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.
I do not wish however that ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, many times, have I purposed to come unto you, but have been hindered, until the present, —in order that, some fruit, I might have among you also, even as among the other nations,
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.
Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am:
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩkĩo ndĩriragĩria mũno kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega o na kũrĩ inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga Roma.
Thus, the eagerness on my part—unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.
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 joyful message; for it is God’s power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew [first] and to Greek;
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, a righteousness of God, is therein revealed, —by faith unto faith: even as it is written—But, he that is righteous, by faith, shall live.
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 there is being revealed an anger of God from heaven—against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, the truth, in unrighteousness, do hold down; —
19 nĩgũkorwo maũndũ ma Ngai marĩa mangĩmenyeka nĩo matiagĩte kũmenyeka nĩo, tondũ Ngai nĩwe wamamenyithirie.
Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, —
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, the unseen things of him, from a world’s creation, by the things made, being perceived, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and divinity, —to the end they should 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.
Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,
22 Na o rĩrĩa moigaga atĩ o nĩ oogĩ-rĩ, noguo maatuĩkire irimũ,
Professing to be wise, they were made foolish,
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, exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God, for the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts and reptiles:
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 gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, —
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)
Who, indeed, exchanged away the truth of God for the falsehood, and rendered worship and service unto the creature rather than unto the Creator, —who is blessed unto the ages. 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 unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, —
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.
In like manner also, even the males, leaving the natural use of the female, flamed out in their eager desire one for another, males with males, the indecency, effecting, —and, the necessary recompence of their error, within themselves, duly receiving; —
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, even as they did not approve to be holding, God, in acknowledgment, God gave them up unto a disapproved mind to be doing the things that are not becoming,
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,
Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition,
30 na acambania, na athũũri Ngai, na aciinũrani, na egaathi, na etĩĩi, mathugundaga njĩra cia gwĩka ũũru, na andũ matangĩathĩkĩra aciari ao;
Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding,
31 nao ti akuũku wega, na matitĩĩaga ũhoro ũrĩa mũrĩĩkanĩre, na nĩ ooru mũno, na matirĩ tha.
Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful: —
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, indeed, having acknowledged the righteous sentence of God, —that, they who such things as these do practise, are worthy of death, not only, the same things, are doing, but are even delighting together with them who are practising [them].
