Loma 1
1 Mini Polo yua n tie JESU Kilisiti nacemo, U TIENU denyini ki gandi nni ke n tua o tondo o labaaliŋamo wangima po.
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad-message of God—
2 Laa laabaaliŋamo, U TIENU den niani O sawalipuaba n diani O diani yi n gagidi ki ŋani niinni.
Which he promised beforehand, through his prophets, in holy scriptures—
3 O laabaaliŋamo maadi o Bijua maama, wan mali yua Dafidi puoliŋuanu nni yi gbanandi po.
Concerning his Son, —who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,
4 Li doagidi leni U TIENU fuoma yua paaciamu po ke o tie U TIENU Bijua kelima o fiima bi tinkpiba siiga yaa po: wani n tie ti Diedo JESU Kilisiti.
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 Kelima o ya kani yo ti baa li ŋanbili paabu ki tua o tondiba, ki ba cuani o yeli po ti jigidi lio dandanli nni i nibuoli kuli siiga
Through whom we have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,
6 yi moko tie laa niba siiga yaaba, yinba JESU Kilisiti n yini yaaba.
Among whom are, ye also, called of Jesus Christ:
7 N diani yi po yinba yaaba n ye Loma ki tie U TIENU buakaaba kuli, wani yini yinba yaaba ke yi gagidi O po. Ti BAA U TIENU leni o Diedo JESU Kilisiti n pa yi li ŋanbili leni mi yanduanma.
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 N da kpa tuond U TIENU yi kuli po JESU Kilisiti ya yeli nni, kelima bi maadi yi dandanli maama ŋanduna nni kuli.
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 U TIENU, min tuuni yua po leni payenli, ki wangi O bijua yaa laabaaliŋamo, tie n siedo ke n taagi yikuli yela yogunu kuli.
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 N miadi U TIENU n jaandi nni ki naa cedi, ke li ya tie O yanbuama, min baa u sanu moala ki cua yi kani
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 kelima n bua ŋali boŋanla ki la yi, ki boagidi leni yi U TIENU fuoma n puni ya paabu, ke yin ya se ki pa.
For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established, —
12 Bi mo, n yaa cua yi kani ti kuli n baa li papaali kelima tin taani ki pia ya dandannli yaa po.
That is to say—there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
13 N kpiiba mii bua ke lan ya boani yi, yogini yi n yaba n den jagi ki baa cua yi kani, ke min fidi ki baa bonluonkaala yi siiga nani min den baa nibuotoe siiga maama; ama ŋali moala bonla ba yen pigini n sanu ke mii fidi ki cua.
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 Li tie tiladi min gedi bi nunfandanba leni bi yanluodanba po, yaaba n pia mi banma leni yaaba n ki pia mi banma kuli po.
Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am:
15 Lani yaa po n bua ŋali boncianla ki ya wangi o laabaa; liŋamo yinba yaaba n ye Loma moko.
Thus, the eagerness on my part—unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.
16 Kelima mii jie i fe o laabaaliŋamo wangima po. Li tie U TIENU paalu yaaba n daani kuli ya tindima po, ki cili jufinba ki ŋoadi bi nilanba.
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 U TIENU teginma doagidi ke o nisaalo tiegi kelima li dandanli yaa po, leni li dandanli bebe yaa po, nani lan diani maama: O niteginkoa baa ye kelima li dandanli po.
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 U TIENU pabienli doagidi tanpoli po, ki ba cuo yaaba n yie O ki tiendi yaala n ki tiegi kuli, bani yaaba n moandi ki ñii i moamoani leni mi biadima.
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 Kelima o nilo n ba fidi ki bandi yaala kuli U NTIENU kani doagidi bi po, kelima U TIENU doagidi la bi po.
Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, —
20 U TIENU gagidiŋanma ban ki nua yaama leni u paaciamu yu n ki pia gbenma leni wan tie maama kuli doagidi ke bi nua la ŋali ŋanduna tagima yogunu, li ya tie ke ti kpiagidi O o tuona nni. (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 Bi tie ban kan pa yaaba sugili, kelima ban bandi U TIENU, baa kpiagi O nani TIENU yeni, baa go tuondi O nani lan pundi maama, ama bi yaadi bi yankpaagifana nni. Bi yanpiima teni ke bi kua li biigili nni
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 Baa ke bi kpiagidi bi yula ke bi tie yanfodanba, bi tua yanluodanba.
Professing to be wise, they were made foolish,
23 bi lebidi U TIENU yua n kan kpe ya kpiagidi, ki kpiagidi a nannana, yaa n naani leni o nisaalo yua n ba kpe, leni ti bonyugiditi, ti yandi leni li bonbalinkaala.
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 Li tie lani yaa po ke U TIENU mo ŋa ba ke bi pala n bua ban ya tiendi ya bonjoagindi kuli diedi ba. Lani bi jigidi bi yula hali ki tiendi yaala n pia i fe bi gbanandi po
Wherefore God gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, —
25 bani yaaba n lebidi ki ŋa U TIENU n tie maama moamoani ki ŋua mi faama. Bi kpiagidi U TIENU n den tagi yaala, ki ŋa wani O tagido oba, yua n pundi ki ya baadi ti pagidi ŋali ya yogunu kuli. AMINA! (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 Li tie lani yaa po ke U TIENU mo ha ba ke bi gbanandi fiima, yaama n tie ti cangidi ki teni ke baa jigini n paadi ba.
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 Bi jaba moko ŋa U TIENU n bili ke ban ya taagi leni bi puoba maama. bi gbanandi fiima co nani mi fantama yeni jatoaba po, ki teni ke bi cagini leni jatoaba. Lani wani bi baadi bani bi ba ya panpaani n dagidi bi yaadima po.
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 Nani ban den sua ke laa pundi ban bandi U TIENU yeni, U TIENU mo ŋa ba ke bi yantiana paadi ba, ke bi tiedi yaala n ki pundi
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 Yaala n kaa tiegi kuli gbie bi pala nni, yaala n bia, leni mi ŋaliŋabuama, mi biadima, li nunponli, mi kukpama, li koali, mi niama, bu nunfanbiadibu, leni ku tugitongu.
Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition,
30 Bi go tie bi ñoakpalidanba ki maadi bi lieba po yaala n bia leni U TIENU yiekaaba leni bi yusiedanba, leni bi japaadanba, leni yaaba n pagi bi yula. Bi go cili ya biadima n kaa den kpa ye, ki tie bi danyiekaaba moko.
Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding,
31 Baa pia yanfuoma, baa kuandi ban niani ya ñoanianu, baa pia nitoaba po padingili leni niñingbadima.
Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful: —
32 Ba ke bi bani U TIENU mabilikaama yaama n tiegi ki yedi ke li pundi ke yaaba n tieni laa bonbiadila buolu n kpe. Ama bi tiendi la bani biba, ki go saagi yaaba n tiendi yeni po i moamoani.
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].
