Baroma 1
1 Ditsala tse di rategang mo Roma, Lokwalo lo lo tswa kwa go Paulo, motlhanka wa ga Jesu Keresete, yo o tlhophilweng go nna morongwa, ebile a romilwe go rera Mafoko a Modimo a a Molemo.
PAULOS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, called, and an apostle, who hath been separated unto the gospel of Aloha,
2 Mafoko a a Molemo a, a ne a sa bolo go solofediwa batho bogologolo ke baporofiti ba Modimo mo Kgolaganong e kgologolo.
which from of old he had promised by the hand of the prophets, in the holy writings,
3 Ke Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Morwaa one, Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona, yo o tsileng e le ngwana mo setshwanong sa motho, a tsalelwa mo losikeng lwa bogosi lwa ga Kgosi Dafide,
concerning his Son, who was born, according to the flesh, of the seed of the house of David,
4 mme ka go tsosiwa mo baswing o ne a supiwa e le Morwa Modimo yo o senatla, ka tlholego e e boitshepo ya Modimo ka sebele.
and is known (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord:
5 Mme jaanong, ka Keresete, tshiamo yotlhe ya Modimo e goromeleditswe mo go rona baleofi ba e neng e sa re tshwanela; mme jaanong o re roma mo tikologong ya lefatshe go bolelela batho botlhe gongwe le gongwe kaga dilo tse dikgolo tse Mo-dimo o di ba diretseng, gore le bone ba tle ba dumele ba o obamele.
by whom we have received grace and apostleship among all nations, that they should become obedient unto the faith of his name:
6 Mme lona, ditsala tse di rategang mo Roma, le lona lo bangwe ba o ba ratang thata, le lona lo lalediwa ke Jesu Keresete go nna ba Modimo tota, ee batho ba one ba ba boitshepo. A masego otlhe a Modimo le kagiso e e tswang kwa Modimong Rara wa rona, le Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona a nne le lona.
and you also are of them, called in Jeshu Meshiha:
To all who are in Ruma, beloved of Aloha, called and saints; peace and grace be with you from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
8 Mmang ke simololeng ka go re, gongwe le gongwe kwa ke yang teng ke utlwa go buiwa kaga lona! Gonne tumelo ya lona mo Modimong e simolola go itsege mo tikologong ya lefatshe. Ke leboga Modimo thata jang ka Jesu Keresete ka pego e e molemo, le ka mongwe le mongwe wa lona.
First, I praise my God through Jeshu Meshiha on behalf of you all, that your faith is heard (of) in all the world.
9 Modimo o itse gore ke lo rapelela gangwe le gape jang. Bosigo le motshegare ke lo baya le tse lo di tlhokang ka thapelo mo go yo ke mo direlang ka thata yotlhe, ke bolelela ba bangwe Mafoko a a molemo kaga Morwaa one.
For a witness unto me is Aloha, whom I serve in the spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing at all time I remember you in my prayers.
10 Mme sengwe sa dilo tse ke di rapelelang gangwe le gape ke lobaka lo lo atlegileng lwa gore, fa Modimo o rata, ke tle go lo bona, le gore fa go kgonega ke tle ke nne le mosepele o o babalesegileng.
And I pray that from now there may be opened unto me the way, by the will of Aloha, to come to you.
11 Gonne ke tlhologeletswe go lo etela gore ke tle ke kgone go lo naya tumelo e e tlaa thusang phuthego ya lona go nitama mo Moreneng. Fela jalo le nna, ke tlhoka thuso ya lona, gonne ga ke batle fela go abalana tumelo ya me le lona le nna ke tlhoka go kgothadiwa ke tumelo ya lona. Mongwe le mongwe wa rona o tlaa nna tshegofatso mo go yo mongwe.
For I greatly desire to see you, and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit,
that thereby you may be established, and that together we may be comforted by your faith and mine.
13 Ke batla gore lo itse, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, gore ke gantsi ke ikaelela go tla kwa go lona (mme go sa kgonege) gore ke tle go dira le lona ke bo ke bone maungo a a molemo, fela jaaka ke dirile mo diphuthegong tse dingwe tsa Badichaba.
BUT I will that you know, my brethren, that many times I have willed to come to you, and have been hindered until this;
14 Gonne ke molato o mogolo mo go lona le mo go mongwe le mongwe, le mo bathong ba ba tlhabologileng le dichaba tsa baheitane; ee, mo go ba ba rutegileng le mo go ba ba sa rutegang fela ka go tshwana.
that among you also I may have fruit as among the rest of the nations of the Javnoyee and Barbaroyee, the wise and the foolish,
15 Jalo he, ka fa selekanyong sa nonofo ya me e e tletseng, ke setse ke siame go tla le kwa go lona mo Roma go rera Mafoko a a Molemo a Modimo.
because to every man am I obligated to preach; and so am I urged to evangelize unto you also who are in Ruma.
16 Gonne ga ke tlhabisiwe ditlhong ke Mafoko a a Molemo a, kaga Keresete. Ke leano la Modimo le le nonofileng la go gapela kwa legodimong botlhe ba ba dumelang. Molaetsa o, o ne wa rerelwa Bajuta pele ba le bosi, mme jaanong mongwe le mongwe o lalediwa go tla mo Modimong ka yone tsela e.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Aloha for the salvation of all who believe in him, whether of the Jihudoyee first, or of the Aramoyee:
17 Mafoko a a Molemo a, a re bolelela gore Modimo o re baakanyetsa gore re ye legodimong, a re siamisa mo ponong ya Modimo fa re baya tumelo ya rona le boikanyo mo go Keresete go re boloka. Mo go bonwa ka tumelo go tswa tshimologong go ya bokhutlong. Jaaka lokwalo lo bua lo re, “Motho yo o bonang botshelo o tlaa bo bona ka go ikanya Modimo.”
for the righteousness of Aloha in it is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, The righteous by faith shall live.
18 Mme Modimo o supa bogale jwa one jo bo tswang legodimong mo baleofing, batho ba ba bosula ba ba tlosang boammaaruri mo go bone.
For the wrath of Aloha is revealed from heaven against all the unrighteousness and depravity of the sons of men, who the truth in unrighteousness detain.
19 Gonne ba itse boammaaruri kaga Modimo sentle thata; Modimo o tsentse kitso e mo dipelong tsa bone.
Because the knowledge of Aloha is revealed in them; for Aloha revealed it in them.
20 Go simolola mo dinakong tsa pele batho ba bonye lefatshe le loapi le gotlhe mo Modimo o go dirileng, ebile ba itsile ka go tshela ga one le nonofo e kgolo ya bosakhutleng. Jalo ga ba kitla ba nna le seipato (fa ba ema fa pele ga Modimo ka letsatsi la katlholo). (aïdios g126)
For the occult things of Aloha from the foundations of the world, unto his creatures by intelligence are apparent, and his power and his Godhead eternal, that they may be without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 Ee, ba itsile kaga one sentle thata, mme ga ba a ka ba dumela gore ba a o itse kgotsa ba o obamela le fa e le go o leboga ka fa o ba tlhokomelang ka teng malatsi otlhe. Mme morago ga lobakanyana ba simolola go akanya dikakanyo tsa boeleele tsa gore Modimo o ntse jang le gore o batla gore ba dire eng. Jalo ga diragala gore megopolo ya bone ya boeleele e fifale e bo e tlhakatlhakane.
For when they knew Aloha, they did not as Aloha glorify him and praise him, but became vain in their imaginations, and their heart was darkened, that they understood not.
22 Ba ikaya fa ba le botlhale kwa ntle ga Modimo, mme ba fetoga dieleele tse di feteletseng ka ntlha ya go tlhoka go ikanya Modimo.
And while thinking in themselves that they were wise, they were fools.
23 Mme hong mo boemong jwa go obamela Modimo o o galalelang o o tshelang ka bosakhutleng, ba ne ba tsaya dikgong le maje mme ba itirela medimo ya disetwa go e obamela, ba e betla go nna jaaka dinonyane le diphologolo le dinoga le batho ba e seng ba sepe ba ba nyatsegang.
And they changed the glory of Aloha the Incorruptible into the likeness of the image of corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and of four-footed (beasts) and of reptiles of the earth.
24 Jalo Modimo wa ba lesa go tswelela pele mo mofuteng mongwe le mongwe wa boaka, le go dira sengwe le sengwe se ba se batlang ee, ba tlontlolo-lana mebele ka boatla.
Because of this Aloha delivered them up to the unclean lusts of their hearts, that they would debase their bodies among them.
25 Mo boemong jwa gore ba dumele se ba itseng e le boammaaruri kaga Mo-dimo, ba dumela ka bomo mo maakeng. Jalo ba obamela dilo tse Modimo o di dirileng, ba gana go obamela one Modimo o o dirileng dilo tse. (aiōn g165)
And they changed the truth of Aloha into a lie, and worshipped and served the creatures rather than their Creator, to whom be praises and blessings for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Ke sone se Modimo o ba leseleditseng go dira tsotlhe tse di bosula tse, le gore le basadi ba bone ba furalele leano la Modimo la tlholego mme ba simolola go tlontlololana mebele.
WHEREFORE Aloha delivered them up to passions of vileness: for their females changed the use of their nature, and to what is not natural were used.
27 Mme banna, mo boemong jwa go tlhakanela dikobo le basadi ka fa tlholegong, ba simolola go gakalelana, banna ba dira dilo tse di tlhabisang ditlhong le banna ba bangwe, mme ka ntlha ya moo ba bona tuelo e e ba tshwanetseng.
And also their males likewise left the natural use of their females, and were inflamed with concupiscence one with another, and male with male wrought shamefulness, and the just retribution for their perverseness in themselves received.
28 Jalo ke sone se e rileng fa ba latlha Modimo ebile ba sa batle go o itse, Modimo wa ba tlhokomologa gore ba dire sengwe le sengwe se megopolo ya bone e e bosula e neng e ka se akanya.
And as they did not decide in themselves to know Aloha, so did Aloha cause them to be delivered up to a mind of vainness, and to do what is not fit;
29 Matshelo a bone a tlala mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa boikepo le sebe, wa bogagapa le kilo, keletso ya senama, polao, ntwa, maaka, bogalaka le ditshebo.
being filled with all wickedness, and uncleanness, and rancour, and malice, and rapacity, and envy, and murder, and contention, and deceit, and evil imaginings, and murmurings,
30 E ne e le basebi, ba ba ilang Modimo, ba le makgakga, e le baikgantshi, ba aga ba akanya ditsela tse dintsha tsa go leofa ebile ba tswelela pele ba sa reetse batsadi ba bone.
and slanders, and hating of Aloha: vilifiers, inflated ones, boasters, inventors of evil things, mindless, disobedient to parents,
31 Ba leka go itira ba ba sa tlhaloganyeng, ba senya ditsholofetso tsa bone, ba le setlhogo, ba se pelotlhomogi.
(men) to whom a compact is nothing, and (who) neither love peace nor (have) mercy in them; who,
32 Ba ne ba itse sentle thata gore Modimo o atlholela loso ka ntlha ya melato e, le fa go ntse jalo ba tswelela pele mme ba e dira ka methale yotlhe, ba kgothatsa ba bangwe gore le bone ba e dire.
knowing the judgment of Aloha, that they who these things do, unto death are condemned, (yet) not only do them, but also participate with those who do them.
