Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
Pawulo, mulanda waJesu Kkilisito, wakayitwa kuti abe mu positoli, alimwi wakasalilwa kukuchita mulimu waLeza.
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
Eli ndilyo vangeli ndyakasyomezya chiindi kwiinda mubasinsimi bakwe mumalembe aasalala.
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
Zili aatala aMwana wakwe, wakazyalwa kuzwa kulunyungu lwaDeviti mukwiinda munyama.
4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
Akubuka kuzwa kubafu, wakaambwa kuti Mwana waLeza uli a manguzu mapati kwiinda muMuya wa busalali - Jesu Kkilisito Mwami wesu.
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
Kwiinda mulinguwe twakatambula luzyalo abutumwe akaambo kakuswiilila chalusyomo aakati kamanyika woonse, kuchitila zina lyakwe.
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
Aakati kawaaya manyika, alubo mwakayitwa kuti muli bakuli Jesu Kkilisito.
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oolu lugwalo ndulwabaabo bali muLoma, bayandwi baLeza, bayitwa kuti bantu basalala. Luzyalo alube kulindinywe, alimwi luumuno luzwa kuli Leza Taata wesu alimwi Mwami Jesu Kkilisito.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Lutanzi, ndilumba Leza wangu kwiinda muli Jesu Kkilisito akaambo kenu moonse, akuti lusyomo lwenu lwaambilizigwa munyika yoonse.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
Leza ngu kamboni wangu, ngundibelekela mumuya wangu kumakani mabotu aMwana wakwe, aawo mpeyinkila kunembo nkewamba atala andinywe.
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
Ndilakumbila lyoonse munkombyo zyangu kuti mubunini ndikonzye kuzwidilila lino akuyanda kwaLeza mukuza kulindinywe.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
Nkaambo ndilayandisya kumubona, kuti ndimupe zimwi zilongezyo zyaMuya, kuti ndikonzye kumusimisya.
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
Nkokuti, ndilayanda kusungwazigwa akanu kenu, kwiinda mulusyomo lwawumwi awumwi, lwangu alimwi alwangu.
13 Now I don’t 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 rest of the Gentiles.
Lino nsiyadi pe kuti mube batazi, bakwesu, kuti kiingi ndakalikuyanda kusika kulindinywe, pele ndakalikukachisigwa kusila lino. Ndakali kuyanda echi kuti nkonzye kuba amuchelo akati kenu alubo mbuli akati kabaMaasi.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Ndimesichikwelete kubili kubaGiliki alimwi akubazwakule, koonse kubasongo alimwi akubafubafuba.
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Nkaambo, mbuli ndime, ndililibambilide kwaambawula ivangeli alubo kulindinywe nimuli kuLoma.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
Nkaambo nsiwusigwi nsoni avangeli, nkaambo manguzu aLeza kulufutuko kuli woonse uusyoma, kubaJuda alimwi kuba Giliki.
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
Mukuti mulindilyo bululami bwaLeza bwayubununwa kuzwa kulusyomo kuya kulusyomo, mbuli mbukwakalembwa, “Basalali bayoopona chalusyomo.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Nkaambo mukali bwaLeza bwayubununwa kuzwa kujulu aatala abusofwazi alimwi akutalulama kwabantu, aabo babwedezya musule isimpe akaambo kakutalulama.
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
Ezi nkukuti eecho chizibinkene aatala aLeza chilaboneka kulimbabo. Nkaambo Leza wabamunikila.
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. (aïdios g126)
Nkaambo bube bwakwe butaboneki bwakatondeezegwa aantanganan kuzwa kumatalikilo akulengwa zintu. Bube oobu ninguzu zyakwe zitamani alimwi abunajulu. Akaambo kaako, aaba bantu tabachikwe ntami pe. (aïdios g126)
21 Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
Ezi nkukuti, nikuba bakalizi aatala aLeza, tebakamulemya mbuli Leza, nikuba kumupa bulumbu. Pesi, baka bafubafuba mumiyeeyo yabo, alimwi myoyo yabo itamvwisisisyi yakasizigwa.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Bakali kulyaamba kuti bali abusongo, pele bakaba bafubafuba.
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
Bakachinchanisya bulemu bwaLeza uutanyonyooki kucikkozyanyo chachitombe chamuntu uunyonyoka, cha bayuni, chabanyama bali amawulu one, alimwi chazintu ziyavula.
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
Akaako Leza wakabaaba kunkosya yamyoyo yabo yabusofwazi, kuti mibili yabo ikabule kulemekwa aakati kabo.
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Mbimbabo bakachinchaanya kasimpe kaLeza kumabejo, alimwi bakakomba akulemya zilengwa kwiinda Mulengi, uyolumbayizigwa chakutamana. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
Akaambo kacheechi, Leza wakabapeda kumpeekezyo zitakwe bulemu, nkaambo banakazi babo bakachinchanya bubelesi bwabo mbubakalengwa aambubo kulizeezyo ziteendelani aabukkale.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
Mbuli munzila eeyi, baalumi abalabo bakasiya nzibakeelede kuchita abanakazi alimwi baba eenkosya yakuyanda umwi awumwi. Aaba mbaalumi bakachita a baalumi chiteelede pe, alimwi bakatambula mulilwabo lubeta lweendelana akutabotya kwabo.
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Nkaambo tebakayeeya kubika Leza mukubonesya kwabo, wakabapa muzezo utali kabotu, kuchitila mbabo kuti bachite ezyo zintu zitali kabotu pe.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
Bakazuzigwa akutalulama koonse, busofwazi, butangazi, alimwi a mabejo. Balizwide bbivwe, bujayi, lukajyanyo, lweeno, alimwi amiyeyo mibi.
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Mbavwiyi, mbaasibupampu bwakubba, alimwi mbaasimusula-Leza. Balalupyopyongano, mbaachuundwe, alimwi balalisumpula. Mbaasimubamba zibi, alimwi tabaswiilili bazyali babo.
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Tabakwe kumvwisya; tabasyomekede pe, batamvwidi luzyalo alimwi batakwe luse
32 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.
Balamvwisya milawu yaLeza, kuti aabo bachita zintu ziliboobu baleelede kufwa. Pele pe pe kuti balachita biyo zintu ezi, balabotelwa abaabo bamwi bazichita
