Bharumi 1
1 Paulo ntumishi ghwa Yesu Kritu jha akutibhu kujha mfalme, ni kutengibhwa kwa ndabha jha injili jha K'yara.
From Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, who has been called to become an apostle, and has been set apart to tell God’s good news.
2 Ejhe ndo jhela Injili jhaaihaidi muandi kup'etela manabii bha muene mu maj'handiku matakatifu.
This good news God promised long ago through his prophets in the sacred scriptures,
3 Ndo kwandabha jha mwanabhe, jha ahogoliki mu lukholo lwa Daudi ku namna j'ha mbhele.
concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord; who, as to his human nature, was descended from David,
4 Muene atangasibhu kuj'ha mwana ghwa K'yara kwa ng'hofo j'ha Roho mtakatifu kwa bhufufuo bhwa bhafu Yesu Kristu Bwana bhitu.
but, as to the spirit of holiness within him, was miraculously designated Son of God by his resurrection from the dead.
5 Kup'etela muene tuj'hamb'elili neema ni bhutme bhwa utii bhwa imani kati j'ha mataifa ghoha kwa ndabha jha lihina lya muene.
Through him we received the gift of the apostolic office, to win submission to the faith among all nations for the glory of his name.
6 Kati jha mataifa agha, muenga kabhele mukkutibhu kujha bha Yesu Kristu.
And among these nations are you – you who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 Barua ejhe jha kwa bhoha bhabhajhele rumi bhabhaganikibhu ni K'yara, bhakutibhu kujha bhanu bhatakatifu. Neema jhijhafayi kwa muenga ni amani kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi jhitu ni Bwana Yesu Kristu.
To all in Rome who are dear to God and have been called to become Christ’s people, may God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
8 Hoti nikambombesya K'yara ghwangu kwa Yesu Kristu kwandabha jha muenga mwebhoha kwandabha imani jha muenga jhihubiribhwa pa dunia jhioha.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because the report of your faith is spreading throughout the world.
9 Kwandabha K'yara ndo shahidi ghwa nene ambajhe nan'tumikili kwa roho jha nene mu Injili jha mwanamunu, namna kyenitamisya kubhataja.
God, to whom I offer the worship of my soul as I tell the goodness of his Son, is my witness how constantly I mention you when I pray,
10 Daima nisoma mu sala sya nene kujha kwa njela jhejhioha nikabhaikwa kumalikili kujha ni mafanikilu henu kwa mapenzi gha K'yara kwa kuhida kwa jhomu.
asking that, if he be willing, I may some day at last find the way open to visit you.
11 Ndabha ninoghela kubhabhona ili nibhwesiajhi kubhapela muenga karama sya mu roho, nibhwesiajhi kubhasindamalisya.
For I long to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift and so give you fresh strength –
12 Yaani nilolelela kupelibhwa muoyo ni muenga, kwa njela jha imani jha khila mmonga bhitu, muenga ni nene.
or rather that both you and I may find encouragement in each other’s faith.
13 Henu bhalongo bhangu nilondalepi musindwayi kmanya kujha, mara simehele nilondeghe kuhida kwa muenga lakini nibesibhu hadi henu. Nilondeghe naha ili kujha ni matunda kwa muenga kama kyajhijhele kabhele miongoni mwa bhanu bha mataifa.
I want you to know, my friends, that I have many times intended coming to see you – but until now I have been prevented – that I might find among you some fruit of my labours, as I have already among the other nations.
14 Nimalibhwa ni Bhayunani ni bhahesya kabhele, bherevu ni bhajinga.
I have a duty to both the Greek and the barbarian, to both the cultured and the ignorant.
15 Henu, kwa nene, nene nijhe tayari kutangasya Injili kwa muenga kabhele muenga jha mujhele okhu Roma.
And so, for my part, I am ready to tell the good news to you also who are in Rome.
16 Kwa ndabha nikajhibhonela lepi soni Injili, kwa kujha ndo bhuweza bhwa K'yara bhwawileta bhwokovu kwa khila jhaiamini kwa Myahudi hoti ni kwa Muyunani kabhele.
For I am not ashamed of the good news; it is the power of God which brings salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first, but also to the Greek.
17 Kwandabha haki jha K'yara j'hidhihirishibhu kuhoma imani hata imani, kama kyajhilembibhu, “Jhaajhele ni haki ibeta kuishi kwa imani.”
For in it there is a revelation of the divine righteousness resulting from faith and leading on to faith; as scripture says – “Through faith the righteous will find life.”
18 ndabha ghadhabu jha K'yara jhidhihirishibhu kuhoma kumbinguni dhidi jha bhuasi ni bhuovu bhwoha bhwa bhanu, ambabho kwa njela jha bhudhalimu jhifigha bhukweli.
So, too, there is a revelation from heaven of the divine wrath against every form of ungodliness and wickedness on the part of those people who, by their wicked lives, are stifling the truth.
19 Ejhe kwandabha, ghoha ghaghibhwesye kumanyikana panani pa K'yara ghajhe bhwasi kwa bhene. Ndabha K'yara abhabholili.
This is so, because what can be known about God is plain to them; for God himself has made it plain.
20 Ndabha mambo gha muene ghaghabhonekeneghelepi kinofu ghajhele bhwasi kuhomela kubhombibhwa kwa ulimwengu. Ghijhelabhweka kup'etela fenu fyafibhombibhu. mambo agha ndo bhuweza bhwa muene bhwa milele ni asili jha bhu K'yara. Matokeo ghake, bhanu abha bhajhelepi ni bhudhuru. (aïdios g126)
For ever since the creation of the universe God’s invisible attributes – his everlasting power and divinity – are to be seen and studied in his works, so that people have no excuse; (aïdios g126)
21 Ejhe kwandabha, ingabhwa bhamanyili kuhusu K'yara bhabeli kun'tukusya muene kama K'yara bhwala bhampeli lepi kabhombeselu. Badala jhiake, bhajhe bhapumbafu mu mabhuasu gha bhene, ni mioyo ghya bhene ghyaghijhele ni ujinga bhwa sopibhu ngisi.
because, although they learned to know God, yet they did not offer him as God either praise or thanksgiving. Their speculations about him proved futile, and their undiscerning minds were darkened.
22 Bhakikuteghe bhaervu, lakini bhajhele bhajinga.
Professing to be wise, they showed themselves fools;
23 Bhaugeusi bhutukufu bhwa K'yara jha abeli kujha ni bhuharibifu kwa mfuanu bhwa sura jha binadamu jhaajhele ni bhuharibifu, ni jha fidege jha bhanyama bhenye magolo mancheche, ni fiumbe fyafiboya.
and they transformed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of mortal humans, and of birds, and beasts, and reptiles.
24 Henu, Kyara abhalekhili bhakhesiajhi tamaa sya mioyo ghya bhene kwa bhuchafu, kwa mibhele ghya bhene kukosibhwa soni baina jha bhene.
Therefore God abandoned them to impurity, letting them follow the cravings of their hearts, until they dishonoured their own bodies;
25 Ndo bhene bhabhajhisanuisi kweli jha K'yara kujha bhudesi, na bhabhaabuili ni kutumikila fiumbe badala jha muumbaji ambajhe isifibhwa milele. Amina (aiōn g165)
for they had substituted a lie for the truth about God, and had reverenced and worshiped created things more than the Creator, who is to be praised for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Kwa ndabha ejhe k'yara abhalekili bhakhesiajhi tamaa sya bhene sya soni kwa kujha bhadala bhabhi bhasanuisi matumizi gha bhene gha asili kwa khele kyakijhele kinyume ni asili.
That, I say, is why God abandoned them to degrading passions. Even the women among them perverted the natural use of their bodies to the unnatural;
27 Hali mabhu bhadosi ni bhene kabhele bhalekili matumizi gha bhene gha asili kwa bhadala ni kujha ni tamaa dhidi jha bhene Abha bhajhele bhagosi ambabho bhabhombibhu ni bhagosi bhajhine ghaghilondeka lepi, ni ambabho bhapokili adhabu jhajhiondeghe bhukonyofu bhwa bhene.
while the men, disregarding that for which women were intended by nature, were consumed with passion for one another. Men indulged in vile practices with men, and incurred in their own persons the inevitable penalty for their perverseness.
28 Kwa ndabha bhabelili kujha ni K'yara mu fahamu sya bhene, abhalekhili bhakhasiajhi akili sya bhene syasifuajhi lepi, bhabhombayi mambo ghala ghaghifuajhilepi.
Then, as they would not keep God before their minds, God abandoned them to depraved thoughts, so that they did all kinds of shameful things.
29 Bhamemili bhudhalimu bhuoha, bhuovu, tamaa ni bhubhibhi. Bhamemibhu ni bhuifu, bhukhomi, Ngondo, bhudesi, ni nia jhibhibhi.
They revelled in every form of wickedness, evil, greed, vice. Their lives were full of envy, murder, quarrelling, treachery, malice.
30 Bhene kabhele ndo bhadesi bhasomani, na bhakan'dadisya K'yara bhajhe ni fuju, kiburi ni kwifuna. Bhene bhatonga mabhibhi, na bhabhitii lepi bhazazi bha bhene.
They became back-biters, slanderers, impious, insolent, boastful. They devised new sins. They disobeyed their parents.
31 Bhene bhajhelepi ni bhufahamu: bhabhijhaminika lepi, bhajhepi ni mapenzi gha asili, na bhajhelepi ni ke'sa.
They were undiscerning, untrustworthy, without natural affection or pity.
32 Bhijhelebhwa kanuni sya K'yara, jha kujha bhanu bhabhibhomba mambo gha namna ejhu bhilondeka kufwa. Lakini sio tubhibhomba mambo aghu, bhene kabhele bhijhetekelana ni bhala bhabhibhomba mambo agha.
Well aware of God’s decree, that those who do such things deserve to die, not only are they guilty of them themselves, but they even applaud those who do them.
