Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
Nye Paulo, Yesu Kristo ƒe dɔla, ame si wotia be wòanye mawunyadɔgbedela, eye wodɔe be wòaɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nyanyui la.
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
Mawu do Nyanyui sia ŋugbe xoxoxo to eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo dzi le Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔeawo me,
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
tso Via, Yesu Kristo, ame si va xexea me abe amegbetɔ ene, eye wodzii abe David ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi ene la ŋu.
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,
To Via, Yesu Kristo, ƒe tsitretsitsi me la, Mawu fia be eyae nye Mawu ƒe Vi ŋusẽtɔ la, eye Mawu ŋutɔ ƒe nɔnɔme kɔkɔe la le eme.
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
Azɔ la, to Yesu Kristo me la, wokɔ Mawu ƒe dɔmenyo ɖe mí nu vɔ̃ wɔla madzemadzewo dzi, eye azɔ la, ele mía dɔm ɖe xexea me be míagblɔ nu gã siwo Mawu wɔ na xexea me la na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la katã le afi sia afi, ale be woawo hã naxɔ edzi ase, eye woaɖo toe.
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
Eye miawo hã miele ame siwo woyɔ be woanye Yesu Kristo tɔwo la dome.
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.
Mi ame siwo katã le Roma, siwo nye Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, kple ame kɔkɔe siwo woyɔ la, Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa tso Mawu, mía Fofo kple Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gbɔ na mi katã.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Gbã la, medaa akpe na nye Mawu to Yesu Kristo dzi le mi katã ta, elabena amewo le ɖase ɖim le xexea me godoo tso miaƒe xɔse ŋu.
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,
Mawu nya ale si medoa gbe ɖa enuenu ɖe mia tae. Metsɔa miawo kple miaƒe hiahiãwo yia gbedodoɖa me zã kple keli na ame si mesubɔna kple nye ŋusẽ katã, eye megblɔa Nyanyui la tsoa Via ŋu na ame bubuwo.
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
Medoa gbe ɖa na Mawu be makpɔ mɔnu, ne Mawu lɔ̃ la, be mava mia gbɔ mlɔeba.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
Mele didim vevie be mava kpɔ mi ɖa ale be matsɔ gbɔgbɔmenunana aɖewo ado ŋusẽ mi,
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
ale be nye kple miawo siaa míado ŋusẽ mía nɔewo ƒe xɔse.
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.
Nɔvinye lɔlɔ̃awo, medi be mianya be meɖoe zi geɖe be mava kpɔ mi ɖa, ale be mate ŋu awɔ dɔ le mia dome, eye makpɔ kutsetse nyui siwo ado tso eme abe ale si mewɔ le ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la dome ene, gake esia mete ŋu dze edzi o.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Enye nye dɔdeasi be magblɔ nyanyui la na Grikitɔwo kple ame siwo menye Grikitɔwo o la, na nunyalawo kple bometsilawo siaa.
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Eya ta medi vevie be magblɔ nyanyui la na mi ame siwo le Roma hã.
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.
Elabena nyanyui si tso Kristo ŋuti la mekpea ŋu nam o. Eyae nye Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ si nana be ame sia ame si xɔ Kristo dzi se la nakpɔ xɔxɔ. Gbã la, wogblɔ nya siawo na Yudatɔwo ɖeɖe ko, emegbe la, wogblɔe na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la hã.
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
Nyanyui sia ɖe Mawu ƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye fia, dzɔdzɔenyenye si vana to xɔse me tso gɔmedzedze va se ɖe nuwuwu abe ale si Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔe ene be, “Ame dzɔdzɔe anɔ agbe to xɔse me.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Woɖe Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe ɖe go tso dziƒo ɖe amegbetɔ ƒe mawumavɔmavɔ̃ kple vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖinyenye katã ŋu, ame siwo tea nyateƒe la ɖe to, to woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi me.
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
Elabena woɖe nu si wòle be woanya tso Mawu ŋu la me na wo keŋ.
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)
Elabena tso xexea me ƒe gɔmedzedzea me la, Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme siwo womekpɔna kple ŋku o, esiwo nye eƒe ŋusẽ mavɔ kple eƒe mawunyenye la me kɔ na wo ƒãa. Wose esia gɔme to eƒe nuwɔwɔwo me, be taflatsedodo naganɔ ame aɖeke si o. (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.
Togbɔ be wonya Mawu hã la, womesubɔnɛ alo daa akpa nɛ abe Mawu ene o ke boŋ woƒe tamesusuwo zu nu dzodzro, eye woƒe dzi manyanu la me do viviti.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Togbɔ be wobu be yewonye nunyalawo hã la, wonye bometsilawo boŋ,
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.
elabena wotsɔ Mawu makumaku la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖɔli aklamakpakpɛwo be wòanɔ abe amegbetɔ, dziƒoxeviwo kple lã afɔenewo kple nutatawo tɔ ene.
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
Eya ta, le woƒe dzi vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe didi nu la, Mawu tsɔ wo de asi na ahasiwɔwɔ ƒe makɔmakɔnyenye be woado ŋunyɔ woƒe ŋutilãwo kple wo nɔewo.
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)
Wotsɔ Mawu ƒe nyateƒe la ɖɔli aʋatsoe; wosubɔa nuwɔwɔwo, eye wodea ta agu na wo wu wo Wɔla, ame si wòle be woakafu tegbetegbe. 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.
Le esia ta Mawu tsɔ wo de asi na dzodzro vɔ̃wo; woƒe nyɔnuwo gɔ̃ hã tsɔ nu siwo menye dzɔdzɔmenuwo o la ɖɔli dzɔdzɔmenuwoe le gbɔdɔdɔnyawo gome.
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.
Nenema ke woƒe ŋutsuwo hã ɖe asi le dzɔdzɔme ƒe kadodo si le ŋutsu kple nyɔnu dome la ŋu, eye woƒe lãme fiena ɖe wo nɔewo ŋu. Ale ŋutsu wɔa ŋunyɔnu kple ŋutsu bubuwo. Ale woxɔa woƒe ŋukpenanuwo ƒe fetu ɖe woƒe ŋutilã me.
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;
Gawu la, esi wosusui be mehiã be woalé sidzedze Mawu me ɖe asi o ta la, Mawu ɖe asi le woƒe susu ŋu na bometsitsi be woawɔ nu si mele be woawɔ o.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
Ale wo ameawo me yɔ fũu kple vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi, nu tovo wɔwɔ, ŋukeklẽ kple gbɔ̃ɖiɖi ame ɖokui. Nenema ke ŋuʋaʋã, hlɔ̃dodo, dzrewɔwɔ, beble kple vɔ̃ediname hã yɔ wo me fũu. Wonye amenyagblɔlawo,
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
ameŋugblẽlawo, ame siwo léa Mawu ɖe ke me, amemabulawo, dadalawo, adegbe ƒuƒlu ƒolawo, ame siwo toa nu gbegblẽ yeyewo wɔwɔ vanɛ, ame siwo meɖoa to wo dzilawo o.
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Wonye numanyalawo, dzimaxɔsetɔwo, nublanuimakpɔlawo kple tamesesẽtɔwo.
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.
Togbɔ be wonya nu le Mawu ƒe sedede dzɔdzɔe la ŋu be ame siwo wɔa nenem nu siawo tɔgbi dze na ku hã la, womeyi nu sia nu wɔwɔ dzi ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ woda asi ɖe ame siwo wɔnɛ hã tɔ dzi.
