Maroma 1

1 Paulusi, muhikana wa Jesu Kreste, yava sumpwa kuva mu Apositola, niku kauhanyezwa hembali che ivangeli ye Ireeza.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

2 Iyi nje ivangeli yava sepisi inako ni seni kusika ca ma porofita mumanolo a njolola.

(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )

3 Ku amana ni mwanakwe, yava zalwa kwi shika lya Davida chokuya ke nyama.

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4 Cho kuvuka ku vafwile, ave zibahazwa kuva iye Mwana we Ireeza we ziho cho Luhuho loku jolola- Jesu Kreste Simwine wetu.

And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5 Chakwe tuva hewa chishemo ni vu apostola cho kusepahala kwe ntumelo mwi fasi lyonse, chevaka lye zina lyakwe.

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

6 Mukati kezi inkanda, nanwe vulyo muva sumpwa kuti muve kwa Jesu Kreste.

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

7 Ilyi ñolo njilyavo vonse vena mwa Roma, va sakiwa ve Ireeza, va sumpwa kuva vantu va jolola. Chishemo chive kwenu, ni nkozo izwa kwe Ireeza Ishetu ni Jesu Kreste.

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Chentanzi, ni litumela kwe Ireeza ka Jesu Kreste henu muvonse, kakuti i ntumelo yenu ya wambwa mwi nkanda yonse.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

9 Kaho Ireeza impaki yangu, ini seveleza mu Luho lwangu mwi evangeli ya mwana, muni zwile havusu kuwamba zakwe.

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

10 Inako ni nako ni kumbilanga mwi ntampelo zangu kapa mwinzila yonse kumamani mani nive yo zwila havusu hanu ke ntato ye Ireeza mwikwiza kwenu.

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

11 Kaho ni tavela kukuvona, kuti ni mihe mupuzo za Luhuho, kuti ni mikolise.

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

12 China njichi, ni nungwa kuva yo susuwezwa mu kati kenu, ke ntumelo yetu tu vonse, yenu ni yangu.

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

13 Hanu kani saki kuti kanzi muvi va sezivite, va kwaangu, kuti niva kusakanga kwiza kwenu, kono niva vinditwe haisi hanu. Niva kusaka izi kuti muve ni miselo mukati kenu sina hamwina mukati ka machava.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14 Ni mukoroti hamwina kuma Greeki mi niku mazwahule, hamwina kuvena vutali niva holo.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

15 Cwale kwangu, nilitukise kuwamba evangeli nikwenu mwina mwa Roma.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 Kaho kani swaveli evangeli, kaho manta a Ireeza ye mpuluso ya vantu vonse va zumina, kaho ma Juda chetanzi ni ma Greeki.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 Kaho mwateni kujolola kwa Ireeza kuli vonahaza kwi ntumelo ni ntumelo, sina mwiva ñolelwa, “Va jolola kava hale che ntumelo.”

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 Kaho ku venga kwe Ireeza kulivonahaza kuzwa kwi wulu kwavo vasali ve Ireeza niku vantu vasa jololi, avo mukusa jololi va kakatiza vuniti.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Ilyo njivaka kuti icho chiziveka kwe Ireeza chivoneka kwavo. Kaho Ireeza avavahi iseli.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.

20 Kaho zisa voneki zakwe zivoneka hande kuzwa fela hakuvubwa kwe nkanda. Zi zuwahala che zintu ziva vubwa. Izi zintu nji manta akwe okuya kwile ni mukwa wakwe mulotu. Che nkalavo, ava vantu ka vena mavaka. (aïdios g126)

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)

21 Ili njivaka, nanga havava kwizi ze Ireeza, kena vava munyamuni chokuva Ireeza, kapa kulitumela kwali. Kono, vavavi zihole mu mihupulo yavo, mi inkulo zavo zi sena mano yavo iva vikwa mwi fifi.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Vava kulihinda kuti vena vutali, kona vava sanduki kuva zihole.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 Vava lichinchi inkanya yoku samana Ireeza cho kuswana chiswaniso yo kumana kwa muntu, ya zizuni, ni zivatana za matende yone, nizi kokova.

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Cwale he Ireeza ava vahi kwavo ve ntakazo mwinkulo zavo chokusa jolola, kuti mivili yavo kanzi ikutekwa mukati kavo.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Njivona vava chinchi initi ye Ireeza cha mapa, mi vava lapeli niku seveleza chiva vumbwa kusiya yava zivumbi, ya hewa intumbo kuya kwile. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Ke vaka lyechi, Ireeza avava siyi va yende che ntakazo zi swavisa, kaho vanakazi vava chinchi muvekalile kwecho chisa swaneli.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 Cho mukwa uwo, va kwame va siya mulawo wavo ku vanakazi nikuhya mwi ntakazo zavo kuhamwina. Ava va kwame vava pangi zintu isali njizona ni vamwi va kwame, mi vava amuheli mupuzo wavo kuzivavapangi.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 Kakuti kena vava zuminizi kuva ni Ireeza mukapanga kwavo, avavahi ku muhupulo ulyangene, njokuti va pange zintu zisena hande.

And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Vava kwizwile kusa jolola, kuva ni lunya, ni ntakazo, ni vuvi. Vezwile muuna, impulayo, inkani, kuchenga, ni zintu zivi.

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Vasoha, vanyefuli, niva toyete Ireeza. Zi vangama, vena mwipo, vali nyamona. vatendi va zintu zivi, mi kave chilili va shemi vavo.

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Kavena inkutwisiso; kena voku sepa, kavena irato, mi kavena chishemo.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Va zuwisisa inkatulo ye Ireeza, kuti avo va tenda izo zintu va swanela ifu. Kono kena kuti va panga izi zintu, va zuminiza ni vamwi va panga izi zintu.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
