Maroma 1

1 Paulusi, muhikana wa Jesu Kreste, yava sumpwa kuva mu Apositola, niku kauhanyezwa hembali che ivangeli ye Ireeza.

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel of God,

2 Iyi nje ivangeli yava sepisi inako ni seni kusika ca ma porofita mumanolo a njolola.

which he had promised before by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

3 Ku amana ni mwanakwe, yava zalwa kwi shika lya Davida chokuya ke nyama.

the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,

4 Cho kuvuka ku vafwile, ave zibahazwa kuva iye Mwana we Ireeza we ziho cho Luhuho loku jolola- Jesu Kreste Simwine wetu.

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 Chakwe tuva hewa chishemo ni vu apostola cho kusepahala kwe ntumelo mwi fasi lyonse, chevaka lye zina lyakwe.

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 Mukati kezi inkanda, nanwe vulyo muva sumpwa kuti muve kwa Jesu Kreste.

among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ;

7 Ilyi ñolo njilyavo vonse vena mwa Roma, va sakiwa ve Ireeza, va sumpwa kuva vantu va jolola. Chishemo chive kwenu, ni nkozo izwa kwe Ireeza Ishetu ni Jesu Kreste.

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 Chentanzi, ni litumela kwe Ireeza ka Jesu Kreste henu muvonse, kakuti i ntumelo yenu ya wambwa mwi nkanda yonse.

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 Kaho Ireeza impaki yangu, ini seveleza mu Luho lwangu mwi evangeli ya mwana, muni zwile havusu kuwamba zakwe.

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 Inako ni nako ni kumbilanga mwi ntampelo zangu kapa mwinzila yonse kumamani mani nive yo zwila havusu hanu ke ntato ye Ireeza mwikwiza kwenu.

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 Kaho ni tavela kukuvona, kuti ni mihe mupuzo za Luhuho, kuti ni mikolise.

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, which may be for your confirmation;

12 China njichi, ni nungwa kuva yo susuwezwa mu kati kenu, ke ntumelo yetu tu vonse, yenu ni yangu.

that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each other's faith, both yours and mine.

13 Hanu kani saki kuti kanzi muvi va sezivite, va kwaangu, kuti niva kusakanga kwiza kwenu, kono niva vinditwe haisi hanu. Niva kusaka izi kuti muve ni miselo mukati kenu sina hamwina mukati ka machava.

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 Ni mukoroti hamwina kuma Greeki mi niku mazwahule, hamwina kuvena vutali niva holo.

I am debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise.

15 Cwale kwangu, nilitukise kuwamba evangeli nikwenu mwina mwa Roma.

So, according to my ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also in Rome.

16 Kaho kani swaveli evangeli, kaho manta a Ireeza ye mpuluso ya vantu vonse va zumina, kaho ma Juda chetanzi ni ma Greeki.

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 Kaho mwateni kujolola kwa Ireeza kuli vonahaza kwi ntumelo ni ntumelo, sina mwiva ñolelwa, “Va jolola kava hale che ntumelo.”

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 Kaho ku venga kwe Ireeza kulivonahaza kuzwa kwi wulu kwavo vasali ve Ireeza niku vantu vasa jololi, avo mukusa jololi va kakatiza vuniti.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, who keep down the truth in unrighteousness.

19 Ilyo njivaka kuti icho chiziveka kwe Ireeza chivoneka kwavo. Kaho Ireeza avavahi iseli.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest within them; for God made it manifest to them.

20 Kaho zisa voneki zakwe zivoneka hande kuzwa fela hakuvubwa kwe nkanda. Zi zuwahala che zintu ziva vubwa. Izi zintu nji manta akwe okuya kwile ni mukwa wakwe mulotu. Che nkalavo, ava vantu ka vena mavaka. (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 Ili njivaka, nanga havava kwizi ze Ireeza, kena vava munyamuni chokuva Ireeza, kapa kulitumela kwali. Kono, vavavi zihole mu mihupulo yavo, mi inkulo zavo zi sena mano yavo iva vikwa mwi fifi.

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 Vava kulihinda kuti vena vutali, kona vava sanduki kuva zihole.

professing to be wise, they became fools,

23 Vava lichinchi inkanya yoku samana Ireeza cho kuswana chiswaniso yo kumana kwa muntu, ya zizuni, ni zivatana za matende yone, nizi kokova.

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 Cwale he Ireeza ava vahi kwavo ve ntakazo mwinkulo zavo chokusa jolola, kuti mivili yavo kanzi ikutekwa mukati kavo.

Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to debase their bodies with one another;

25 Njivona vava chinchi initi ye Ireeza cha mapa, mi vava lapeli niku seveleza chiva vumbwa kusiya yava zivumbi, ya hewa intumbo kuya kwile. Amen. (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 Ke vaka lyechi, Ireeza avava siyi va yende che ntakazo zi swavisa, kaho vanakazi vava chinchi muvekalile kwecho chisa swaneli.

For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust,

27 Cho mukwa uwo, va kwame va siya mulawo wavo ku vanakazi nikuhya mwi ntakazo zavo kuhamwina. Ava va kwame vava pangi zintu isali njizona ni vamwi va kwame, mi vava amuheli mupuzo wavo kuzivavapangi.

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 Kakuti kena vava zuminizi kuva ni Ireeza mukapanga kwavo, avavahi ku muhupulo ulyangene, njokuti va pange zintu zisena hande.

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 Vava kwizwile kusa jolola, kuva ni lunya, ni ntakazo, ni vuvi. Vezwile muuna, impulayo, inkani, kuchenga, ni zintu zivi.

being filled with all unrighteousness, malice, covetousness, wickedness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; backbiters,

30 Vasoha, vanyefuli, niva toyete Ireeza. Zi vangama, vena mwipo, vali nyamona. vatendi va zintu zivi, mi kave chilili va shemi vavo.

slanderers, hated of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of mischief, disobedient to parents,

31 Kavena inkutwisiso; kena voku sepa, kavena irato, mi kavena chishemo.

senseless, faithless, without natural affection, without pity;

32 Va zuwisisa inkatulo ye Ireeza, kuti avo va tenda izo zintu va swanela ifu. Kono kena kuti va panga izi zintu, va zuminiza ni vamwi va panga izi zintu.

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.
