9 Onyankopɔn a mede mʼakoma nyinaa som no, na menam asɛmpa a menam ne Ba so ka no nim sɛ, deɛ meka no yɛ nokorɛ. Onyankopɔn nim sɛ mekae mo daa.

10 Ɛberɛ biara a mebɔ mpaeɛ no, mesrɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa mma mentumi mmɛsra mo seesei ara.

11 Ɛfiri sɛ, mepere mehwehwɛ sɛ, mɛhunu mo na maboa mo ama moanya Onyankopɔn honhom mu nhyira na ahyɛ mo den.

12 Deɛ mekyerɛ ne sɛ, me ne mo nyinaa bɛnya honhom mu ahoɔden ɛberɛ korɔ mu a yɛde bɛhyɛ yɛn ho yɛn ho gyidie mu den.

that is that I myght have consolacion together with you through the commen fayth which bothe ye and I have.

I wolde that ye shuld knowe brethre how that I have often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but have bene let hitherto) to have some frute amonge you as I have amonge other of ye Gentyls.

14 Mo ne obiara, wɔn a wɔn ani ate ne wɔn a wɔn ani nteeɛ, wɔn a wɔasua adeɛ ne wɔn a wɔnsuaa adeɛ nyinaa ho asɛm yɛ mʼasodie.

For I am detter both to the Grekes and to them which are no Grekes vnto the learned and also vnto the vnlearned.

15 Ɛno enti, mede mʼahoɔden a mewɔ nyinaa aboa me ho sɛ mɛba mo nkyɛn wɔ Roma abɛka Onyankopɔn asɛmpa no akyerɛ mo.

Lykewyse as moche as in me is I am redy to preache the Gospell to you of Rome also.

16 Mʼani nwu Asɛmpa no ho, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn tumi a ɔnam so gye wɔn a wɔwɔ gyidie nyinaa nkwa; Yudafoɔ kane ɛnna amanamanmufoɔ no nso.

For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ because it is ye power of God vnto salvacio to all yt beleve namely to the Iewe and also to ye getyle.

17 Asɛmpa no kyerɛ yɛn sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ma yɛyɛ ateneneefoɔ, na ɛnam gyidie so na wama yɛayɛ saa. Sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka no, ɔteneneeni firi gyidie mu bɛnya nkwa.

For by it ye rightewesnes which cometh of god is opened fro fayth to fayth. As it is written: The iust shall live by fayth.

18 Onyankopɔn da nʼabufuo adi firi ɔsoro de tia nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyinaa ne nnipa a wɔde nokorɛ no hinta afoforɔ no.

For the wrath of God apereth from heven agaynst all vngodlynes and vnrightewesnes of me which withholde ye trueth in vnrightewesnes

19 Ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn ada ne nokwasɛm no adi wɔ wɔn mu, na ɔde ne ho nimdeɛ ahyɛ wɔn akoma mu.

seynge what maye be knowen of God that same is manifest amoge them. For God dyd shewe it vnto them.

20 Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ewiase no, ne tumi a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no ne ne nyamesu no ada adi. Nnipa nam Onyankopɔn abɔdeɛ so tumi hunu saa nneɛma yi, enti wɔnni anoyie biara. (aïdios g126)

So that his invisible thinges: that is to saye his eternall power and godhed are vnderstonde and sene by the workes from the creacion of the worlde. So that they are without excuse (aïdios g126)

21 Wɔnim Onyankopɔn, nanso wɔmfa ne anidie a ɛfata no no mma no na wɔnna no ase nso. Ayɛ saa ma wɔn adwene mu nnɔ na esum aduru mu.

in as moche as when they knewe god they glorified him not as God nether were thakfull but wexed full of vanities in their imaginacions and their folisshe hertes were blynded.

22 Wɔka sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ nanso wɔyɛ nkwaseafoɔ.

When they couted them selves wyse they became foles

23 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom Onyankopɔn onimuonyamfoɔ a ɔte hɔ daa no, wɔfaa nnua ne aboɔ yɛɛ ahoni te sɛ nnomaa, mmoadoma, awɔ ne nnipa somm wɔn.

and turned the glory of the immortall god vnto the similitude of the ymage of mortall man and of byrdes and foure foted beastes and of serpentes.

24 Ɛno enti, Onyankopɔn gyaa wɔn maa afideɛ a ɛfiri wɔn akoma mu, ɛno enti, wɔne wɔn ho wɔn ho yɛɛ aniwudeɛ nso.

Wherfore god lykewyse gave the vp vnto their hertes lustes vnto vnclennes to defyle their awne boddyes bitwene them selves:

25 Wɔde Onyankopɔn ho nokwasɛm no sesaa atorɔsɛm na wɔsomm abɔdeɛ sene Ɔbɔadeɛ a daa wɔkamfo no no. Amen. (aiōn g165)

which tourned his truthe vnto a lye and worshipped and served the creatures more then ye maker which is blessed for ever. Ame. (aiōn g165)

26 Esiane saa enti, Onyankopɔn gyaa wɔn maa honam mu akɔnnɔ a ɛyɛ aniwudeɛ. Na mpo wɔn mmaa fa wɔn yɔnkonom mmaa.

For this cause god gave them vp vnto shamfull lustes. For even their wemen did chaunge the naturall vse vnto the vnnaturall.

27 Saa ara nso na na mmarima ne mmaa nna, na mmom, bɔne akɔnnɔ hyɛɛ wɔn maa wɔne wɔn ho wɔn ho daeɛ nam so nyaa akatua a ɛsɛ wɔn.

And lyke wyse also the men lefte the naturall vse of the woma and bret in their lustes one on another. And man with man wrought filthynes and receaved in them selves the rewarde of their erroure as it was accordinge.

28 Esiane sɛ nnipa poo Onyankopɔn ho nokorɛ no enti, wɔfaa wɔn adwemmɔne so yɛɛ nneɛma a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ mmom.

And as it semed not good vnto them to be aknowen of God even so God delivered them vp vnto a leawde mynd yt they shuld do tho thinges which were not comly

29 Amumuyɛ ahodoɔ nyinaa, bɔne, anibereɛ ne nnebɔne hyɛɛ wɔn ma. Nitan, awudie, akasakasa, nsisie ne ɔbra bɔne nso ka ho. Wɔdii nsekuro,

beinge full of all vnrighteous doinge of fornicacio wickednes coveteousnes maliciousnes full of envie morther debate disseyte evill codicioned whisperers

30 kaa nsɛm a ɛmfata faa afoforɔ ho; wɔkyirii Onyankopɔn; wɔyɛɛ atutupɛ, ahantan ne ahomasoɔ. Na daa wɔdwene sɛ wɔbɛyɛ bɔne. Wɔantie wɔn awofoɔ asɛm.

backbyters haters of God doers of wroge proude bosters bringers vp of evyll thinges disobedient to father and mother

31 Na wɔnni suban; na wɔnni wɔn bɔhyɛ so; na wɔnni ayamyɛ ne ahummɔborɔ ma afoforɔ.

with out vnderstondinge covenaunte breakers vnlovinge trucebreakers and merciles.

32 Na wɔnim sɛ Onyankopɔn mmara kyerɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔtena ase saa kwan so no sɛ owuo. Nanso wɔnko ara anyɛ saa afideɛ no, na mmom, wɔpenee afoforɔ a wɔyɛɛ saa bɔne korɔ no ara bi no so.

Which me though they knew the rightewesnes of God how that they which soche thinges commyt are worthy of deeth yet not only do the same but also have pleasure in them that do them.
