Roma Yaaba 1

1 Mini Pɔli, Jesu Kiristu tuonsɔnlo, ke bi yini nni ke min tua ya tondo ke o gagdi ki baa wangi U Tienu laabaalŋamo,

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—

2 U Tienu bo tuodi ki niani, ki cedi ke bi sawalpuaba diani a tilŋama dianŋami nni, ke li ba tua yeni,

the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

3 Ke li nua o Bijua yua n mali, ki tie Dafiidi puolŋuanu, yaa tie ti gbannandi po.

regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,

4 Ke li dɔgdi yeni U Tienu Foŋanma paaciamu, ki waani ke o tie U Tienu Bijua ki dugni o iedma bi kpienba siiga, wani yua n tie Jesu Kiristu, T Diedo.

and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

5 Wani ya po ke ti baa li ŋanbli, ki tua o tondba ki ba cedi o yeli po bi nilanba ń tuo ki ya cɔlni, ki go dugi o po.

Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

6 Yinba yaaba ke Jesu Kiristu yini ne, i mo ye li nibuoli siiga nni.

And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

7 N diani li tili ne yinba yaaba n ye Roma, ki tie U Tienu buakaaba, ke o gagdi ki yini yi ke yin tua niŋanba: U Tienu ti Báa yeni ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu ń puni yi li ŋanbli yeni mi yanduanma!

To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 N dá ba tieni U Tienu balga Jesu Kiristu yeli po yinba ya po, kelima ŋanduna kuli bani i dudugdi ń caa ki se naani.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.

9 U Tienu, min tuuni yua ya po, ke li nua o Bijua laabaalŋamo, tie n kasiedi, ke n maadi i maama daali kuli kaa cedi.

God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you

10 N miadi n jaandi nni kaa cedi, ke li ya tie o yanbuama po, min baa u sanu yeni li pamanli ki cua yiani.

in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

11 Kelima n bua min la yi, ki bɔgdi yeni yi U Tienu Foŋanma paabu, yin fidi ki ya se taajala lie ke li paa.

For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,

12 Lani yaa ka, n ya cua i siiga, ti kuli ń taani ki baa li papaali kelima yinba yeni mini ń taani ki pia ya dandanli po.

that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

13 N naataani, mii bua min wuoni yi ke n yen kali, ki jagi ke min cua i kani, ki la yi, ki cie ya luana n ye i siiga yeni ya nibuoli n sieni; ama hali yeni mɔla kuli, n dá ki ba sanu.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

14 Li tie n po panli i, ke min gedi ki la Girekinba yeni bi yanbɔndanba, ki gedi ki la a gbanbanda yeni yaaba n ki kua cogu kuli.

I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

15 Lanyapo, li tie n po buamɔnma i, ke min kpaandi ki waani yinba yaaba n ye Roma po, o laabaalŋamo.

That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

16 Kelima mii ji jie fee yeni min waani o laabaalŋamo: li tie U Tienu paaciamu faabma i, yua n daani kulipo; ki cili juufinba ki tuadi Gilekinba

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.

17 Li laabaalŋamo n dɔgdi ki wangi U Tienu teginma yaama n ŋua li dandanli, ki go tie li dandanli po, nani lan diani maama: “O niteginka baa fo o dandanli po.

For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

18 U tienu panbienli ñani tanpoli ki ddɔgdi, ki yie bi niba tuonbiadi kuli po yeni yaali n ki tuagi i mɔmɔni sanu po bani yaaba n cedi ke bi tuonbiadi dɔgni i mɔmɔni.

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

19 Kelima lan buali ke ban ya bani U Tienu po yaali ki duagi ba bá waamu; U Tienu wani o bá n waani ba.

For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

20 Lanyapo, U Tienu ŋandi yaadi n ki pia bianu, O paaciamu yuu n ki pia gbenma yeni o yenyema ki duagi ba; bi nua likuli yeni bi nuni, hali ŋanduna tagma. Ti ya diidi wan tagi yaali kuli, bi niba ki pia ban ba yedi yaali ki faabi bi yula. (aïdios g126)

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 Kelima, ban bandi U Tienu, bi naa kpiagi o nani o tie U Tienu; baa tieni o balga yeni o tuonŋama; ama bi maalbiidi biani ba ke bi luoni bi pala ki ki kua li biigli nni.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.

22 Bi tie ti japaadi ki maali ke bi tie yanfodanba i, ki na tie gaada.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,

23 Bi lebdi U Tienu yua n ki pia juodma yudandi ki nan ŋua ya bonnannandi tie o nisaalo yua n ba kpe, lani yaa ka ti bonyugditi, ti yandi yeni a bonbalinkaana.

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Lani ya po i ke U Tienu tulni ba ti tuonjɔgindi po, ke ban ya tiendi bi pala ń faadi yaali; ke bi ji tie bi ŋmiali nni, yaali n pia i fee, hali ki biidi bi gbanu.

Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.

25 Bani yaaba n lebdi ki ŋa U Tienu mɔmɔni, ki nan ŋua mi tofaama, bani yaaba n kpiagdi U Tienu tagma ki nan ŋa wani o tagdo yua dagdi yeni ya kpiagdi n ki pia gbenma. Ami! (aiōn g165)

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Lanyapo i, ke U Tienu tulni ba ke bi faadi ti tuonjɔgindi yeni i fee tuona: Kelima bi puoba ŋa U Tienu ń tagi ba yaali ya po ki ŋɔdi ti cancagindi tuona.

For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

27 Bi jaba moko, lani n yeni, bi ŋa ban tagi o pua yaali ya po, ki fiindi bi gbanu, ki ŋua b jalieba ki cagni bi yula ki fiagdi bi bá. Bi ba baa bi gaadyema ń dagdi yeni ya pani.

Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Nani ban den ki maali ke ban bandi U Tienu yeni, U Tienu mo ŋmagdi ba bi pala ń bua ya tuonjɔgindi po i, ke ban ya tie ya bona n ki pia mayuli.

Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

29 Bi pala gbie yeni yaali n ki tiegi kuli, mi biadma, mi ŋaanma, bu nunfanbiadbu, ki nanga, mi kuukpama, li kɔnkɔnli, mi niama, ku tugtongu,

They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,

30 Bi tie dokpala, jonjondanba, yenyiekaaba, japaadanba, maciandanba, tuonbiididanba, danyiekaaba yeni yanluodanba.

slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.

31 Bi tie yanpiidanba, ŋanwaadanba, bi yama ki siadi bi nisaallielo po, baa pia niñingbadma mo.

They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.

32 Bá ke bi bani U Tienu buudi po, ki bani ke yaaba n tie lan ya bona dagdi yeni mi kuuma; baa tie li bona baba ka, ama bi go taa yaaba n tie li bona po, ki go puuni ba i mɔni.

Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
