< Bhaloma 1 >
1 Nne Pauli ntumwa jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, njemilwe na a Nnungu kubha ntume jwa lunguya Ngani ja Mmbone.
Paul, a servant of Messiah Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
2 Jene Ngani ja Mmboneji, jishinkulajilwa na a Nnungu bhukala, kupitila ashinkulondola bhabho Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo.
which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
3 Ngani ja Bhana bhabho, Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhabhelekwe shigundu nnukolo lwa a Daudi,
concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 na Mmbumu ya ukonjelo gwabho bhashinkuagulwa kubha Mwana jwa a Nnungu, kwa kuyuka kwabho bhakaweje, yani a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus (the) Messiah our Lord,
5 Kupitila kwa bhenebho, uwe tushipegwa nema na utume, nkupinga bhandu bha ilambo yowe twaalongoyanje nkukulupalila na nkukunda lina lyabho kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo gwabho.
through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
6 Na mmanganyanji nneila peila, nninginji munkumbi gwa bhashemilwenje na a Yeshu Kilishitu, kubha bhandunji bhabho.
among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus (the) Messiah;
7 Ngunakunnjandishilanga mmowe nninginji ku Loma, nkupingwangwa na a Nnungu na nshemilwenje mmanganje bha ukonjelo. Ngunakunnjujilanga nema na ulele, kwa Atati a Nnungu na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
8 Ngunatandubha kwa kwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu, kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa ligongo lyenunji mmowe, pabha ngulupai yenunji inalunguywa nshilambolyo.
First, I thank my God through Jesus (the) Messiah for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
9 A Nnungu bhungwatumishila kwa ntima gwangu gowe, nkulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone ja Bhana bhabho, ni bhakong'ondela bhangu shinguti kunkumbushilanga mobha gowe.
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I constantly mention you
10 Ngunatenda nneyo mobha gowe, nkujuga Nnungu kwangu kuti, a Nnungu bhapingaga bhambe malanga, nyiye kunngwenunji agano mobha gano.
always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.
11 Pabha ngunalokolila kwa kaje kummonanga, nimpanganje shiukilo sha mmbumu, nkupinga nshimilikwanje.
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;
12 Kwa nneyo shitutagane ntima, kila mundu kwa ngulupai jika mwine, ngulupai jenu mmanganyanji, na ngulupai jangu nne.
that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
13 Ashaalongo ajangunji ngunapinga mmumanyanje kuti, papagwinji nashinkutumbilila kunng'owelanga, ikabheje mpaka nnaino a Nnungu bhashing'ibhilila. Pungupinga na kweneko naapatanje bhandunji bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu Kilishitu, malinga shinaapatilenje mwiilambo ili nngabha ya Bhayaudi.
Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.
14 Njikola ligambo muntima kwa ligongo lya Bhayunani na bhangalinji Bhayunani. Njikola ligambo ku bhakwetenje lunda na bhangalinji lunda.
I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 Kwa nneyo nne njiengwa kulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, nkali kungwenunji nninginji ku Loma.
So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 Nne ngakujibhonela oni Ngani ja Mmbone, pabha jenejo, ni mashili ga a Nnungu gapeleshela ntapulo kubhandu bhowe bhaakulupalilanga, kutandubhila ku Bhayaudi na mpaka ku Bhagiliki.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
17 Pabha Ngani ja Mmbone jinalanguya a Nnungu shibhakuti kwaapanganga bhandunji aki. Lyeneli linatendeka kaje kwa ngulupai, malinga shiishite jandikwa, “Akwete aki shaatame kwa ngulupai.”
For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."
18 Kukoposhela kunnungu, a Nnungu bhashilangula nnjimwa jabho ku bhandunji bhakakwaakagulanga a Nnungu, bhaakananga ya kweli kwa itendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
19 Pabha indu yowe imanyika kuti ya a Nnungu bhaimanyinji, pabha bhayene a Nnungu bhalangwiye indu yabho.
because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 Indu yaishiywe kuumila bhukala gwa panganywa shilambolyo, nnaino inabhoneka nimanyika, yani liengo lyabho na mashili gabho ga pitipiti na Unnungu gwabho, kupinga bhanakolanje sha bheleketa! (aïdios )
For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios )
21 Nkali bhakaamanyanjeje a Nnungu, bhangaakuyanga na wala kwaatendela eja, malinga shiipinjikwa, ikabheje ng'aniyo yabhonji ishipuganyika, na mitima jabhonji jangali lunda jishikwaabhikanga nnubhindu.
Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Bhanakwitembanga kuti bhashikolanga lunda, mbena bhangumba.
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 Bhaleshilenje kwaatindibhalila a Nnungu bha ukonjelo na bha pitipiti, nikuitindibhalila yanamu ili malinga bhandu bhaawanganga, eu mbuti ijuni, eu bhannyama, na bhaatambalanga pai.
and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
24 Kwa lyene ligongolyo, a Nnungu gubhaaleshilenje bhakagulanje ilokoli ya nyata ya mmitima jabhonji, na tendelana indu ya nyata nkulabhalabha, nikwiitokomaya iilu yabhonji.
Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,
25 Bhanatindiganyanga indu ya kweli ya a Nnungu nkupinga bhakagulanje ya unami. Bhalitindibhalilanga shiumbe, kuleka kwaatindibhalila bhayene Ashipanganya, bhapinjikwa lumbililwa pitipiti! Amina. (aiōn )
who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn )
26 Kwa nneyo, a Nnungu bhashikwalekanga bhanaishimiyananje nikagulila ilokoli ya nyata. Nkali bhanabhakongwe, bhashilekanga itendi ya shibhelekwe ya shiilu shabhonji, nitenda sha munape.
For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.
27 Nneyo peyo, na bhanabhalume gubhaleshilenje kwaalokolilanga ashaakongo bhabhonji, nilokolilana ashaayenenji. Bhanabhalume gubhatendilenje indu ya nyata, gubhaishemelenje ukumu ashaayenenji, kwa ligongo lya itendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone.
Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
28 Malinga shibhakanilenje kubha na a Nnungu nng'aniyo yabhonji yangali ya mmbone, a Nnungu gubhaaleshilenje bhaikagulanje ng'aniyo yabhonji, bhatendanje yangali ya mmbone.
Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;
29 Bhashigumbalilwanga na kila gwangali gwa mmbone, kukwetela, na joloka, na lupimililo, na bhulaga, na mipwai, na unami, na ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone, na bha lung'wenyi.
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 Kabhili, bhaalambililanga na bhakwaashimanga a Nnungu, na bhakwetenje nngomo, na bhakwetenje mbwinya na kwiipuna, bhaakumbuyanga itendi ya ambi ya nyata, na bhakakwaapilikanishiyanga bhaakwetenje.
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Na bhene bhangalinji lunda, na bhakaajalinji malagano, na bhakakwaapinganga ashaalongo ajabhonji, wala bhangalinginji shiya.
foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 Bhalikumumanyanga kuti shalia ja a Nnungu jinaataya kuti, bhandunji bhatendanga nneyo bhanapinjikwanga kuwa. Nkali nneyo, nngabha bhanatendanga genego ashayenenjipe, ikabheje bhene bhatendanga yeneyo bhala bhanakwaalumbililanga.
who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
