Valumi 1
1 Nene Pauli niyandika balua iyi, mtumisi wa Kilisitu Yesu, mwenikemeliwi kuvya mtumi na kuhaguliwi na Chapanga, kwa lihengu la kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina.
This letter comes from Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ. I was called to be an apostle by God. God appointed me to announce the good news
2 Penapo kadeni, Chapanga avahaidili vandu Lilovi la Bwina lenili, mu njila ya vamlota vaki ngati cheyiyandikwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi.
that he had previously promised through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures.
3 Lilovi la Bwina lenili likumvala Mwana wa Chapanga, BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu, muhiga avelekiwi mu lukolo lwa nkosi Daudi.
The good news is about his Son, whose human forefather was David,
4 Nambu kuuvala wumi waki chimpungu wa Mpungu Msopi ajilangisi kwa makakala gaki kuvya Mwana wa Chapanga kwa kuyuka kwaki.
but who was revealed as God's Son by his resurrection from the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
5 Mu njila yaki, nene nipewili ubwina wa Chapanga kuvya mtumi, muni ndava ya Kilisitu nivalongosayi vandu va milima yoha vasadikayi na kuyidakila.
It was through him that I received the privilege of becoming an apostle to call all nations to obedient trust in him.
6 Nyenye ndi pagati ya vandu venavo vevitama ku Loma, muhaguliwi muvyai vandu vaki Yesu Kilisitu.
You are also included among those who were called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 Hinu nikuvayandikila mwavoha nyenye mwemwitama ku Loma ndi Chapanga akuvagana, akavahagula muvyai vandu vaki. Nikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
I'm writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by God, and called to be his special people. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
8 Nitumbula kumsengusa Chapanga wangu mu njila ya Yesu Kilisitu ndava yinu mwavoha, ndava sadika yinu yiyuwaniki na vandu voha va pamulima.
Let me begin by saying that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the way in which you trust in God is spoken about all over the world.
9 Nikumhengela Chapanga, kwa mtima wangu woha kwa kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina la Mwana waki, mwene amanyili kuvya nijova chakaka kuvya nikuvakumbuka
I'm always praying for you, as God can confirm—the God I serve with the whole of my being as I share the good news about his Son.
10 lukumbi lwoha nikumuyupa mwene. Nikumuyupa Chapanga akaganayi, anihotosa nihotola kuvagendelela.
In my prayers I'm always asking that I might eventually come and see you, if that's what God wants.
11 Muni ninogela neju kuvalola na kuhanganila pamonga njombi yeakuvapela Mpungu Msopi muni avakangamalisa.
I really want to visit you and share with you a spiritual blessing to strengthen you.
12 Chenijova apa tavoha tikangamalisanayi, sadika yangu yivakangamalisa nyenye, na sadika yinu yinikangamalisa nene.
In this way we can be encouraged together by each others' trust in God, both your trust and mine.
13 Valongo vangu, nigana mumanyai kuvya naganili pamahele kuvagendelela, nambu mbaka hinu nibesiwi. Nigana kupata gabwina pagati yinu nyenye vandu mwemukumsadika Kilisitu ngati chenapatili pagati ya vandu vangali Vayawudi.
I want you to know, my brothers and sisters, I often planned to visit you, but I was kept from coming up till now. I want to see some good spiritual results among you just as I've seen among other people.
14 Nivii na lihengu la kuvakokosela vandu voha vevavili na uyovelu yabwina na vana matendu yihakau, vevachenjili na vayimu.
For I have an obligation to work for both the civilized and the uncivilized, both the educated and the uneducated.
15 Hinu nene ninogela neju kulikokosa Lilovi la Bwina mewawa nyenye mwemwitama ku Loma.
That's why I'm really keen to come to Rome and share the good news with you.
16 Nikuliwonela lepi soni Lilovi la Bwina, ndava lina makakala ga Chapanga ga kumsangula kila mundu mweisadika, kutumbula kwa Vayawudi kangi kwa vangali Vayawudi mewawa.
I'm certainly not ashamed about the good news, for it's God's power to save everyone who trusts in him—to the Jewish people first, and then to everyone else as well.
17 Muni Lilovi la Bwina lilangisa hotohoto Chapanga cheakuvayidakila vandu vavyai vabwina kwaki. Kwa njila ya kusadika kutumbula utumbukanu mbaka mwishu. Ngati cheyiyandikwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Mundu mweakitiwi kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga yati itama kwa sadika.”
For in the good news God is revealed as good and right, trustworthy from start to finish. As Scripture says, “Those who are right with God live by trusting him.”
18 Chapanga amanyisi ligoga laki kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga kwa kumbudila na uhakau woha wa vandu, vene kwa uhakau wavi vakuudiva uchakaka ukoto kumanyikana.
God's hostility is revealed from heaven against those who are godless and who are not morally right, those who suppress the truth through the evil that they do.
19 Ndava muni, gala gegikita Chapanga amanyikana kwavi gavi hotohoto, muni Chapanga mwene agalangisi kwavi.
What can be known about God is obvious, because he has made it very clear to them.
20 Kutumbula Chapanga peawumbili mulima, makakala gaki ga magono goha gangali mwishu na uchapanga waki, chewimanyikana hotohoto hati ngati uloleka lepi kwa mihu. Nambu vandu vihotola kuulola kwa vindu vyeawumbili Chapanga. Hinu vandu vavi lepi na chindu chakujikengelela! (aïdios g126)
Ever since the creation of the world, the invisible aspects of God—his eternal power and divinity—are clearly visible in what he has made. Such people have no excuse, (aïdios g126)
21 Pamonga vammanyili Chapanga, nambu vakumlumba lepi na kumsengusa, pahali paki, maholo gavi gauyimu na mitima yavi yisopiwi chitita.
because even though they knew God, they did not praise him or thank him, but instead their thinking about God turned into complete foolishness, and darkness filled their empty minds.
22 Vimeka kuvya vachenjili nambu vayimu.
Even though they claimed to be wise, they became foolish.
23 Vileka kumulumba Chapanga mweifwa lepi, na pahali paki vakuhilumba himong'omong'o yeyiwanangana na mundu mweifwa, ngati videge amala hinyama amala vingokoko yeyikwava.
They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for idols, images of mortal human beings, birds, animals, and reptiles.
24 Ndava yeniyo, Chapanga avalekili valandayi mnogo uhakau wa mitima yavi na kukitilana mambu ga soni muhiga zavi.
So God abandoned them to the evil desires of their depraved minds, and they did shameful, degrading things to each other.
25 Vakuung'anamusa uchakaka wa Chapanga kuvya udese, vakuvigundamila na kuvihengela vindu vyeviwumbiwi pahala pa Chapanga, vakumlumba lepi muwumba mwene mweiganikiwa kulumbiwa magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn g165)
They exchanged God's truth for a lie, worshiping and serving creatures instead of the Creator, who deserves praise forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Ndava vikita genago, Chapanga avalekili valandayi mnogo wavi uhakau wa soni. Hati vadala valekili kugona na vagosi ngati cheyiganikiwa pahala paki vinogelana vene kwa vene.
That's why God abandoned them to their evil desires. Their women exchanged natural sex for that which is unnatural,
27 Na vagosi mewawa, valekili kugona na vadala ngati cheyiganikiwa, badala yaki vinogelana vene kwa vene. Vagosi kwa vagosi vikitilana mambu ga soni, ndava yeniyo vakujiletela vene kuhamuliwa kwa uhakau wavi wevahengili.
and in the same way the men gave up sex with women and burned with lust for each other. Men did indecent things to each other, and as a result they suffered the inevitable consequences of their perversions.
28 Ndava muni vandu avo vabelili kuvika muluhala lwavi uchakaka wa kummanya Chapanga, namwene avalekili valanda luhala lwavi luhakau, vakitili gala gegabesiwi kukitiwa.
Since they didn't consider it worthwhile to get to know God, he abandoned them to their worthless, distrustful way of thinking, doing things that should never be done.
29 Vandu venavo vamemili uhakau woha, uhakau na uhutulu mnogo kuyola vindu wihu na ukomaji na luhonda na udese na kuhenga matendu gahakau na kuheha,
They filled themselves with all that's wrong: evil, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malice, and gossip.
30 na kuvakupakisa vayavi na vevakumuyomela Chapanga na veviliga na vevakujilumba na vevimeka na viyidakilana kukita gahakau na vala vevibela kuvayidakila vala vevavaveliki,
They're back-stabbers and God-haters. They're arrogant, proud, and boastful. They devise new ways of sinning. They rebel against their parents.
31 vayimu na vilanda lepi lilaganu lavi na vakuvagana lepi vandu na vakuvahengela lepi lipyana vandu vangi.
They don't want to understand, they don't keep their promises, they don't show any kindness or compassion.
32 Vamanyili ngati malagizu ga Chapanga gijova vandu vevikita vindu ngati ivi viganikiwa kufwa, nambu vikita vindu vyenivyo ndi lepi vindu ivyo ndu, ndi mewawa vakuvayidakila vevikita vindu vyenivyo.
Even though they realize exactly what God requires, they do things that deserve death. Not only do they do such things themselves, they also support others in doing them.
